~Don't try to make me stay
Or ask if I'm okay
I don't have the answer
Don't make me stay the night
Or ask if I'm all right
I don't have the answer
Heartache doesn't last forever
I'll say I'm fine
Midnight ain't no time for laughing
When you say goodbye~
Lauren's P.O.V.
I woke up and made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"I'm not exactly sure what you like to eat for breakfast so I just made a little bit of everything that was in your fridge." She said to me while she held a spatula in her right hand.
I could feel my lips pull into a smile, how could it not? I can't remember the last time someone made me breakfast.
"Thanks Camila, you didn't have to." I said making my way to the table, a huge smile plastered across my face.
"Don't be silly, I wanted to, as a thank you." She said flipping a pancake as her lips poked out.
~It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible~
Those lips are becoming more and more challenging to stay away from, especially while flipping pancakes. She walked towards the table and placed the pancakes on my plate.
"Eat up! Don't want you going to your business appointment hungry." She smiled taking the seat next to me.
"You remembered. Thanks." I said before taking a bite.
She simply smiled back and started eating as well and I could feel something stir within me.
"So, how was last night?" Normani asked as she sipped on her latte.
I took a sip of my coffee and placed it on the table as I flashed her a look.
"What? What? Tellll meeee! I'm dying over here!"
"Well lets just say it took everything in me not to kiss her last night."
"You didn't kiss her?"
"Mani, I have a girlfriend." She rolled her eyes at me.
~I've tried to ask myself
Should I see someone else
I wish I knew the answer
But I know if I go now, if I leave
Then I'm on my own tonight
I'll never know the answer
Midnight doesn't last forever
Dark turns to light
Heartache flips my world around
I'm falling down down down
That's why~
"Honestly Lauren is that what you think life has in store for you? When was the last time you were actually HAPPY and not just content?"
I smiled to myself because I couldn't stop thinking about Camila after Mani asked what life had in store for me. Camila's beautiful, charming, considerate and she can cook! She is definitely making me reconsider a lot of things-EVERYTHING.
"Why do you have a stupid smile on your face Laur?"
My thoughts were interrupted and I knew I was blushing.
"Oh mah, gahh...who are you thinking about. Tell me! Omg is it Camila?"
I shook my head up and down.
"OMG Lauren! You like her!"
"Mani, I have a girlfriend." I said without any real merit behind it.
"Yea, but there's nothing wrong with knowing your worth either and I love Camila!" She said as she grabbed my arm, her eyes pleading.
I began to laugh at my best friend. "I don't even have her number, besides that THING in the bedroom could've just been a moment."
"She made you breakfast!" Mani perked up an eyebrow. "We'll know soon enough, I just sent her your number." She said with her usual attitude as she winked at me.
My eyes grew wide, "you what?"
"You heard me, she asked for it." Mani's smile was evil, in a good best friend kind of way.
"She did?" I said with a smile.
~BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ~
Both our eyes drifted to my phone that was on the table.
"Omg Laur, who is it? Who is it?" Mani said in excitement.
"Would you calm down!" I laughed.
Okay so I wasn't calm either and I'm secretly hoping it's Camila.
"I'm your best friend, I don't have to calm down."
Frm Unknown Number: Hey Lauren, I hope you don't mind, I asked Mani for your number :) oh it's Camila btw, I guess my name would help lol
I added her to my contacts right away. "Yeah it's her."
"What did she say? What did she say? Come on Lauren I'm dying over here!"
"You're always dying." I playfully rolled my eyes at my best friend. "She just said 'hey' and what not."
"What are you going to say?" Her eyes going from my phone in my hand, back up to me.
To Camila: Hey! Not at all:) how are you?
I showed Mani my text as she nodded up and down in approval; sent.
Frm Camila: I'm great! Thanks again for having me over.
To Camila: Any time:) thanks for breakfast.
Frm Camila: I know this is kind of last minute since it's tomorrow night, but I have tickets to this one comedian and wanted to see of you want to maybe go with me? We can grab a bite after...
"What Lauren? What? I know that face!"
"She asked me to hang out tomorrow night."
"Oh mah gaaahhh! This is so ahhh! My feels! My feels are exploding, I feel like I'm watching high school love developing."
My head snapped towards her at the mention of love.
"Stop it!" I chuckled. "I mean, nothing wrong with making friends right?"
"RIGHT!" She winks at me as I shake my head.
To Camila: yeah sounds like fun:)
"That guy was sooo funny! How did you hear about him?" I said before taking a bite of my pasta. "I seriously was crying, I was laughing so hard."
~I find your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes irresistible~
She began to laugh and there they were again, as if taunting me, her full, luscious lips, slightly parting to let out her laughter. I would just love to bite that bottom plump piece of flesh. I had to shake my head to stop myself from thinking about it.
~Irresistible (irresistible)
Irresistible (irresistible)
Irresistible (irresistible)
Irresistible~
"I know right!" She extended her arm to reach across the little table for mine; her fingertips lightly grazed my exposed arm as she tapped it softly, "so funny!"
Wow this girl has a beautiful laugh, gosh, I don't wanna be a weirdo and stare at her but she needs to stop being so adorable. Now she's lightly brushing my arm with her fingertips, okay, keep your cool. Please don't blush, cheeks DON'T YOU DARE BLUSH!
~It's in your lips and in your kiss
It's in your touch and your fingertips
And it's in all the things and other things
That make you who you are and your eyes irresistible~
"Excuse me," she finally moved her hand to wave the waiter down. "Can I get the check please." She flashed him a smile.
I'm glad she's not brushing my arm with her fingertips, but I'm not, if that makes any sense. She makes me giddy.
"I'm paying for dinner." I said to her with a toothless smile.
She shook her head, "nooooo, I invited you out tonight, I'M paying for dinner."
"Not happening."
"Lauren." Her brown orbs locked with mine as she batted her eyelashes and whether she meant to or not, she gave me butterflies...more so than before.
"I'm paying." I smiled, I'm sure my words were weak looking into those eyes, but there's no way she's paying. "You can get the next one."
'The next one,' yup I said it, I want to know her, there's something here. I can feel it.
We arrived at her house and I walked her to her door. "Thanks for inviting me." I said to her as I smiled, my hands we're in my pockets; this whole thing is nerve wracking.
"Yeah, well you're great company." She said; her brown shimmering eyes stared into mine as she stepped towards me to give me a hug.
I wrapped my arms around her petite body to return the embrace. I felt the need to close my eyes and I took a deep breath. Her scent invaded my entire body, the smell of clear skies after it rains and a hint of sweetness. I didn't want to pull away; I knew if I pulled away and looked into those brown eyes I wouldn't be able to stop myself.
~It makes your lips so kissable
And your kiss unmissable
Your fingertips so touchable
And your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes
Irresistible~
We finally pulled apart from our embrace, just inches away from each other and I used whatever willpower I had left to NOT kiss this amazing girl in front of me. I was lost in bright brown orbs when she slowly, and I mean in slow motion, like a movie scene, leaned in for a kiss. Think fast Lauren...THINK! Even though you don't want to think! I moved quickly so her lips landed on my cheek instead and I could see the disappointment in her eyes.
She looked in her purse in search for her keys, not making eye contact, "Good night Lauren." Her voice soft, with a hint of hurt.
She turned the doorknob and took a step into her home. I screamed as loud as I could, on the inside that is, in frustration.
I grabbed her hand, which was all I could think of and do at the moment, "Camila."
Her brown eyes met mine, searching, waiting for whatever it was I had to say.
I took a step closer; we were maybe an inch or two apart. "I want to kiss you." I could feel my face heat up. "I do and it took every ounce of me and I'm sure help from the universe, to NOT kiss you." She began to chuckle. "But I'm with someone and it wouldn't be right. I don't want our first kiss to be tainted and I don't want you to be that girl; you're so much better than that." I said as I gave her hand a squeeze, my eyes looking into glistening brown ones.
"So there's going to be a first kiss?" She said slightly blushing as she looked down, her body shimmying back and forth slightly.
I lifted her chin with my right hand to bring her gaze back to mine, "I sure hope so." I smiled at her and I'm sure my face was flushed.
She leaned in and gave me quick peck on my cheek, "have a good night Lauren." She said before entering her home.
"Good night." I said with a smile, our eyes locked only to be broken by her closing the door.
I walked to my car with a big smile plastered across my face as I placed my right hand to cup the cheek that Camila had just kissed. I was engulfed with giddiness, butterflies, a feeling of cloud nine, you name it, I had it! A first kiss...YES.
