~Let's run away from these lies
Back to yesterday,
safe tonight
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging
Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave, I'm gonna find you
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't~
***Malibu, CA***
Camila's P.O.V.
The five of us have been in Los Angeles for the last few months getting to know one another even more so than we already do and recording cover songs to spread the word about us, Fifth Harmony, on YouTube.
It's been an amazing few months to say the least! Lauren and I have been dating for the last two months and I couldn't be happier. We're not officially together, YET, we're taking it slow and waiting for the right moment. To be honest, I think I'm there already; maybe I'm just waiting for Lauren to get there. She never really uses words to let me know how she feels, which is fine; her actions speak louder than words ever could.
I see her look at me with her emerald green eyes, they are so beautiful, and I don't think I can look away.
"Camila...Camila? Mila!" Normani shouted to get my attention as my head turned to face her.
"What! What?" I asked since I wasn't paying attention.
"You're doing the chorus right?" Ally looked at me and asked.
Dinah just laughed.
"I mean; it IS the song you picked." Ally added.
"Yeah, yeah sounds good." I said with an embarrassed smile as I felt the warmth rise up my body spreading through my cheeks.
Lauren just chuckled at me, she WOULD.
We were in our in-house studio recording Lego House when we received a phone call.
"Hello girls."
"Hi Simon!" All five of us said in unison.
We were getting good at that.
"So, I wanted to just follow up with you ladies to see how the covers are going?"
"It's going great! We love doing covers." Ally beamed into the speakerphone.
"And how are the living arrangements? Do you like the house?"
The house was incredible and had a balcony that overlooked the ocean; perks of Malibu and having Simon Cowell as the boss man, really more like an uncle now. It had 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, more than enough for each of us, but I had been sneaking into Lauren's room every night to cuddle. What can I say, I can't sleep without her arms wrapped around me. Plus she has the best view in the house. She had the master bedroom that overlooked the ocean; she got it drawing the shortest straw since the five of us couldn't decide who got what room.
"Yes!" All five of us replied.
"Thank you so much Simon! This house is gorgeous." Dinah added.
"Great, I'm glad you ladies like it. Okay well I'll leave you be so you can finish your songs." He trailed momentarily and I thought he hung up the phone, "Oh Camila, before I forget, Austin Mahoney's rep contacted my rep and wants to know if you want to have dinner with him tonight, he's in town?"
All eyes turned to me, I'm sure my brown orbs were wide with shock and I quickly glanced towards the taller brunette furthest from me. Her eyes were just as wide as mine.
"Ah, whaaa?" I said awkwardly as I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion staring at the speakerphone.
"Well with all the rumors of you two after the award show," Simon continued, "I figured it'd be fine since you're single."
But I'm NOT single, technically.
"It'll be good publicity, okay? 7pm, be ready, goodbye ladies."
-CLICK-
It was too late to object, before I knew it, I had a date at 7pm. This is NOT good. I quickly glanced at heated green eyes; I didn't even think that was possible, for her eyes to be heated, SHE was not happy.
"Ooooo Mila and Austin sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-" Dinah began to tease as Normani joined in.
"NO!" I looked at both of them firmly, "no." I could feel sad green eyes staring at me and all I wanted to do was just hug her and tell her I didn't want to go; that I wanted be with her, ONLY her and that I loved her. I LOVE her.
"Aww Mila, you might get your first kiss tonight, how exciting!" Ally beamed.
"No! I don't even know him!"
The truth was I'd already had my first kiss and it was the best first kiss anyone could ever have. Lauren.
It was on our first date and she took me ice-skating. I fell, I fell a lot, but I had so much fun because she was with me. We walked out waiting for our driver to pick us up from the rink when I playfully grabbed her beanie and pulled it over her eyes. I still remember her laughing and the way her eyes penetrated through mine when she pulled her beanie up, revealing smoldering green eyes.
"Try it again." She said with a smirk practically daring me.
I grabbed her beanie by it's sides, but before I could pull it back down, each of her hands had been placed on each one of mine, our gazes locked, I was losing myself in her shiny green orbs. She slowly leaned down and her soft, plump, warm lips gently landed on my own. I felt the heat rush between our lips as they continued to graze one another. It was everything I'd hoped it would be, even more. It was perfect.
"I don't feel so good, if we're done here, I'll be in my room." A soft raspy voice finally said something for the first time.
Lauren remained silent as she walked out of the studio all in one motion.
SHIT.
~Baby, please don't run away
From my bed and start another day
Stay instead
I feel the sun creeping up like tick tock
I'm trying to keep you in my head but if not
We'll just keep running from tomorrow with our lips locked
Yeah, you got me begging, begging
Baby, please don't go
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gonna find you
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't, baby, please don't
Baby, please don't~
Lauren's P.O.V.
I was standing on the balcony that was attached to my room looking out into the ocean, trying to wrap my brain around my own thoughts and what it is I'm feeling. THIS can't be happening. Is it possible to be in this much pain over someone? I mean, I feel sick, physically SICK. I can't believe Camila is going on a date with that douche! The thought of her spending time with him, laughing at his jokes, holding his hand or worse, kissing him, it made me cringe. Yup, I think I'm gonna hurl. Technically we're NOT together, but still, I thought we were on the same page.
"Ugh!" I growled out in frustration towards the ocean.
I clenched my hands around the rail looking up to the sky when I felt arms, arms that sent electricity through my body, slowly wrap around my waist. SHE had that affect on me. I didn't even hear her approach; I must have been really deep in my emotions and thoughts.
"Babe, talk to me." I could feel her entire body up against mine as she leaned her face on my back waiting for me to respond. "Lo, say something please." She said softly as she kissed the back of my neck sending shivers down my spine.
~I stay running from tomorrow
I stay running from tomorrow
Well, I stay running from tomorrow
Said, I stay running from tomorrow
Baby, please don't go (Please don't go)
If I wake up tomorrow will you still be here?
I don't know if you feel the way I do
If you leave I'm gonna find you (I'm gon', I'm gon', I'm gonna find you)~
It was silent for a few minutes and the thought of someone else being with Camila in any sort of way made me nauseas.
"I don't want you to go." I whispered softly as I squeezed her arms that wrapped around me.
She unwrapped her arms from me; I could feel her waiting for me to turn around so I did and I was met with glistening brown eyes.
I reached for both her hands as I laced our fingers together, closing the distance between us.
"Baby, please don't go." I said again not making eye contact with brown orbs, afraid of what they'll make me do.
I feel her hand unlace with mine as she brought it up to my face to cup my cheek and bright brown eyes held every piece of me. I could feel them, the words coming out; there was no way of stopping them.
"I think I'm in love with you and I can't stand HIM, anyone for that matter, being with you in ANY way. Just the thought of him picking you up, opening the door for you, buying you dinner, having you on his arm," I couldn't stop, "smiling at you, maybe you smiling back, him holding your hands," I could feel my eyes widened when those words escaped my mouth and I still couldn't stop it, "trying to kiss you, you kissing him back," I shook my head at the thought, "I can't, I just can't Camz. Please don't go."
I could feel my heart racing, what did I just SAY? What just happened? Did I just really say all that? She's looking at me, tilting her head. Okay, say something, anything. I see her full lips slowly pull up to her eyes…she's smiling; oh thank goodness.
Camila's P.O.V.
I tilted my head slightly to observe the beautiful green-eyed girl in front of me. She's stunning, even in a pair of jeans and a tank on. How can I NOT smile right now?
She LOVES me; Lauren's in love with me.
"You LOVE me? You, badass, too cool for school, sexy, green-eyed bombshell, Lauren Michelle Jauregui, are in love with ME, clumsy, awkward, skinny, nerdy, Karla Camila Cabello?" I asked with a smirk on my face as I slowly placed my arms around her neck giving her a quick kiss on the corner of her mouth.
"I happen to think you're VERY sexy." She said looking directly into my eyes as her lips pulled to her eyes; there's that smile I love so much. "Yes Camz, I love you, I'm in love with you and its okay if you don't feel the same way right now and-"
"I love you too Lauren." I cut her off before she began ranting again and crashed our lips together.
Our lips connecting like never before as I ran my fingers through her dark locks and pulled on it lightly. I could feel her hands slip into the back of my jeans, my flesh feeling the warmth of her hands. It was a different sensation, kissing Lauren this time. Her soft lips caressed mine as she bit on my bottom lip asking for entrance that I gladly allowed. We finally pulled apart when air was needed; green eyes stayed locked on mine.
"What do you want to do tonight to celebrate?" She asked me perking her dark eyebrows as a big smile spread across her face.
"Oh, I can't tonight, I have plans." I said playfully.
"CAMMZZZ."
"Baby, I'm just kidding, you know Lo, you had me at 'I don't want you to go,'" I said chuckling at the girl I've fallen in love with. "I can think of a couple things we could do to celebrate." I couldn't hide the lust in my voice as I placed my lips on hers once again.
That night we stayed in bed, cuddled with our legs intertwined and our lips locked. I couldn't imagine spending my night any other way.
~Baby, please don't go, go, go, go
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go (Don't leave me, leave me)
Baby, please don't go, go, go, go Baby, please don't, baby, please don't run away~
