***J. Cabello Residence, West Hollywood, CA 2AM***

Camila laid on her bed, phone next to her waiting for the green-eyed girl to arrive. She was relieved when her phone started vibrating earlier and it was the older brunette calling. It took her a few seconds to answer only because she was incredulous; she didn't think Lauren would contact her anytime soon after slamming the door in her face, let alone the same night. After having some time to think to herself, she knew she had slightly overreacted. She shouldn't have jumped the gun so quickly, but it was tough for her watching someone else ALL OVER the green-eyed girl, especially after what had happened. The younger brunette was more than happy to see Lauren's name on her phone's screen; it warmed her heart knowing that the fair skin girl she loved so much was on her way to see HER. She wasn't exactly sure why Lauren had called OR why she wanted to come over but she didn't care; she just wanted the green-eyed girl there, with her. Camila exhaled as she closed her eyes, letting her mind wander.

***Flashback 8 3/4 Years Ago***

Both girls were back in Miami, Florida spending time with each of their families during their holiday break. It was winter season and the weather had been cruel, causing a pretty bad outbreak of the cold. Lauren had been trying to see Camila for the last three days, concerned about the brown-eyed girl's current state, but the younger girl was NOT having it. She had a bad case of the cold and didn't want Lauren seeing her at all looking the way she did.

~RING-RING-RING~

"Hey Lauren." Jason answered Camila's phone.

"Hey, where's Camz? How's she doing?" her husky voice was worried.

"She's in bed, just trying to get rested."

Lauren's heart ached at the thought of Camila being sick and she just wanted to be with her, she wanted to take care of her. "This is dumb Jason, I should be there!" She said in frustration.

"She doesn't want you getting sick."

"NOOOOO, she doesn't want me seeing her sick, there's a difference." She spat, still frustrated. "Look, maybe I should come over?" It wasn't really a question, but Jason didn't know that, Lauren already had her jacket and keys in hand ready to go.

"It's one in the morning Lauren, just go to sleep." He hung up the phone.

~KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK~

~KNOCK-KNOCK-KNOCK~

Jason opened the door and before he could say anything the porcelain skin girl pushed him out of her way, walked right past him and up the stairs. "Laur! Mila doesn't want any visito-"

The brunette waved him off, "I don't care if she WANTS me here or NOT." She paused on a step, turning her intense green-gray eyes to meet his before proceeding up the stairs and into the younger brunette's room.

"Jay, is that you?" the younger girl managed to let out in between her coughs and sniffles.

"No, it's me," Lauren's voice was so soft, almost afraid that she'd cause Camila more pain if she spoke any louder. "How you feeling baby?" Lauren asked sympathetically as she approached the younger girl on her bed.

"Lo!" she groaned, it was pretty weak considering her current state. "I told you I didn't want you to see me like THIS. Argggghh." She said turning over, covering her head with a pillow. "I'm sick and I look terrible, don't look at me."

Lauren chuckled lightly before carefully yanking the pillow off of Camila's head as sleepless, tired, brown orbs met her eyes. "Camz, you know how you look doesn't matter to me." She said pushing the younger girl's hair off her face, "you always look beautiful to me." She bent down to place a lingering kiss on her forehead.

"Really?" she let out softly, flashing Lauren an exhausted smile.

"Yes, REALLY." Her green eyes continued to scan the fragile girl next to her, "how have you been sleeping?" she asked noticing bags under her eyes as she gently brushed the back of her fingers on Camila's warm cheek.

"Not too well," the younger girl confessed as she slightly poked her lips out prompting Lauren to smile from ear to ear.

Lauren cupped Camila's face and pulled her in for a tender kiss, "Lo, you're going to get sick." She said into the older girl's lips.

"That's okay with me." She smiled into her lips before kissing her again.

Lauren took her jacket off and got under the covers pulling Camila onto her body tightly. The younger girl cuddled to her side, their bodies molding perfectly. The green-eyed girl kissed the younger brunette's forehead, letting her lips linger, taking her warmth in. She stayed awake until the brown-eyed girl's breathing steadied, making sure she was finally sleeping before the older brunette fell asleep herself.

***End of Flashback***

~BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ~

Camila was snapped out of her thoughts as her phone buzzed, "I'll be right down."

Camila opened the door, her bright brown eyes analyzing the girl she loved who wore sweats and a t-shirt that was obviously too big for her. She smiled at the sight in front of her as she leaned on the door.

Lauren bit her bottom lip as she noticed the adorable expression that took over Camila's face, "are you gonna invite me in or just look at me all night?" Her green eyes took in the vision in front of her wearing pajama short shorts and a loose tank that showed her toned midriff.

"I'm just going to look at you all night, if that's okay?" her voice so uninhibited that the older brunette couldn't say anything back; she just smiled. "Come on," the younger brunette laced their fingers together, pulling her inside and up the stairs to the room she was staying in.

Lauren quietly closed the door behind her, "look Camz, I'm not really sure what happened tonig-"

Camila took the older girl by surprise, pushing her against the wall before crashing their lips together. The caramel skin girl's arms made their way around Lauren's neck as she slightly tiptoed, deepening the kiss. The green-eyed girl's hands gripped the younger girl's waist, giving her exposed flesh a squeeze before wrapping her arms around her waist.

They slowly separated as shimmering brown eyes were met with smoldering green eyes, "now you've made me lose my train of thought." Lauren spoke first as they continued to hold each other. "Look Camz, about what happened at dinner, I'm really sorry. I wasn't really aware of what was going on with Nat and I never meant to disrespect you in any way." Her tone was unfeigned.

"I know, I'm sorry too, I just overreacted." She admitted, "I don't know that girl, but I don't like her, and I CAN'T stand the way she looked at you or the way she touched your arm." She perked an eyebrow, attitude all over her face.

Lauren kissed her lips before saying, "well you don't have to worry about her, you don't have to worry about anyone, you're the only one I want, always have been and always will be." She leaned in for another kiss. "I know it's hard for you with what I did, but I want us to work, you have to be able to trust me."

Camila nodded, "I know and I'm working on it." she lovingly cupped Lauren's face.

"That's all I want, is for you to try." She smiled as she grabbed Camila's hand that was on her face, giving her hand a kiss.

Camila smiled at her loving gesture and pulled Lauren in for another kiss, their lips locking as they made their way to the bed. The older brunette's tender, plump lips caressed full, soft lips gently as she unhurriedly guided the younger brunette down on the bed, their lips never loosing contact. They continued to kiss as Lauren's left hand supported her body just enough so she didn't have all her weight on the girl beneath her, her right hand was situated on the side of Camila's left leg, just above her knee. The green-eyed girl's right hand caressed the younger girl's skin, up her thigh, under her short shorts, squeezing at her flesh. The brown-eyed girl could feel the heat rush through her entire body and it took every ounce of strength and will power to halt what they were doing.

"You okay?" Lauren asked as she panted, puzzled by the sudden conclusion of their passionate lip lock which was leading to more than that, at least that's what the older brunette was hoping for.

Flickering brown eyes locked with glistening green eyes, "yeah, I'm fine, I just don't want to rush into anything this time." She said between heavy breaths, "can we just cuddle tonight."

"Yeah, of course." She breathed out before kissing the younger girl.

Lauren pulled the covers over both her and Camila, holding the brown-eyed girl closely to her body. The porcelain skin girl let the warmth take over her as the younger girl snuggled against her, resting her head on the older brunette's shoulder. She listened for Camila's breathing pattern to stabilize and when it finally did, she placed a kiss on her forehead before closing her own eyes and falling asleep.
