One week later...

Lauren and Camila's date had to be postponed for now, because their schedules ended up becoming full, making it impossible for them to have time for their date. However, that wasn't an obstacle at all, they talked daily, even when they couldn't see each other personally. It became something comfortable, and incredibly fast. The happiness that Camila and Lauren felt due to the beginning of that relationship was mutual.

Lauren waited patiently in front of her building, exchanging a few messages with fans and friends while she waited. She was so distracted that she ended up getting startled when she saw a car stop in front of her. She narrowed her eyes, pressing her eyebrows together, but she smiled when she identified the person inside the vehicle.

"Shall we go?" A smiling Ryan asked as he lowered the passenger side window, leaning over the seat to open the door for Lauren. She entered the car, locking her phone screen.

"Why did you take so long? I was starting to think you got lost on the way." She frowned.

Ryan smiled and tried to give her a peck on her lips, but Lauren quickly turned her face so that the British boy's lips landed on her cheek. He thought that she was just annoyed because of his delay; little did he know that the reason for that rejection had a name, a surname and a beautiful ass.

"I had to help Harry with a few things and it took longer than I expected." He explained himself as he started the car, checking the rearview mirror to see if the road was clear. Lauren's phone vibrated, indicating the incoming of a text message, and it was impossible for her to contain her smile at the sight of Camila's name. "What's up with that big smile of yours?"

Lauren blushed upon hearing that, she hadn't even noticed that she was smiling so broadly. She replied to the Latina's text quickly and locked her phone screen. Even though she still felt like smiling, she controlled herself.

"I woke up in a good mood." She answered simply, shrugging to try to convey that she had no special reason for that happiness.

But her happiness had a name, a surname and a smile that made Lauren feel like screaming with joy. Ryan looked away from the road to briefly glance at the brunette next to him, he narrowed his eyes, but he opted to stay silent. He was sure she'd tell him the real reason for that happiness when she was ready.

Despite having a hunch about the person who was the reason for Lauren's good mood.

"Hm, we're going for a walk after the photoshoot." He commented casually, quickly drawing Lauren's attention.

"We are?"

"Yes, it's been a while since the last time we went out together, and we need to give something to our beloved paparazzi."

"Oh..." Lauren murmured in understanding, raising her eyebrows as she understood Ryan's intentions. It was true, although the British boy was always in her apartment when he came to Los Angeles, it had been a while since they went out together as a 'couple'. "Dinner?"

"Yes, you can choose the restaurant."

Lauren just agreed with a nasal sound, turning her attention back to her phone and her messages with Camila.

Camila: Can we see each other tonight?

Camila: I miss you.

Lauren: I miss you too, so so much. I love sleeping with you stroking my hair.

Camila: I love stroking your hair...

Camila: So can we?

Lauren felt like cancelling everything in that exact moment and go after Camila, wherever she was, so that she could lie on her lap and just cling to her. Now that she was sure that the Latina liked her too, her desire to be with her had increased a lot. Too bad she had other commitments that day.

Lauren: I don't know if I can today. I have a dinner thing to go to and I might get home late.

Camila: I see...

Camila: Let me know when you can.

Camila: I'm going out now, take care. xxx

Lauren: I can tomorrow, if you want.

Lauren: xxx. Take care too, sunshine, I hope we can see each other tomorrow...

Camila visualized the text but didn't reply, making the brunette let out a long, apprehensive sigh. Lauren knew that the Latina was upset, she understood. Camila had changed a lot, she was showing so much affection that she didn't even seem the same person. Lauren was afraid to hurt her Camila with all that mess with the fake relationship and commitments to Ryan. Well, at least she had stopped sleeping with him and she didn't intend to do that ever again.

Lauren only wants Camila, and only her.

I hope I'm the only one in her life too, she thought to herself before having her attention stolen by Ryan who was calling her name.

-----

The weekend went by and the two of them barely had any contact with each other, at least not in person, and both seemed eager to see each other. It was recording day, and Camila wished she could film all day with Lauren. Too bad her scenes with the brunette would be few in that episode.

"Lauren!"

Upon hearing her name being called, the brunette lifted her head in search of who was looking for her. Soon enough she came across a smiling Chris coming towards her, she smiled automatically.

"I-" The blond wrapped his arms around the brunette's waist, squeezing her in a tight embrace. Lauren closed her eyes, unable to breathe. She wished her hands were free so that she could punch her friend, he always did that kind of thing to her. "You... are... crushing... my boobs." Lauren managed to complain almost voiceless, and Chris let out a laugh.

And only then did he loosen his arms around the brunette. The boy looked at her, smiling cheekily, and Lauren rolled her eyes.

"I know you love my bear hugs."

"Bear hugs? They're more like crush-boob hugs." Lauren grunted, smoothing her right breast with her free hand, since she was holding her script with the other one.

Chris threw his head back and laughed, amused by the brunette's grimace. Lauren bumped him with her shoulder indignantly.

"Wait, wait a minute." Chris asked, grabbing Lauren's arm upon realizing that the brunette was about to walk away. "Lily asked you to go to the parking lot to help her with the pizza boxes." He informed, letting go of the brunette's arm.

Lauren nodded her head and left the script on a table near her purse. Chris waved at her and then made his way towards David and Molly, who were talking in the corner of the room.

Lauren reached the elevator just in time before it descended, a few members of the crew were inside when she joined them. In less than five minutes she was already in the parking lot, looking around for Lily's car, but she didn't find it. Inwardly she was cussing Chris with every possible swearword, and if that was some kind of prank, she'd kill him.

She didn't doubt it was one of Evans' pranks.

"I'm going to kill that blond idiot."

Lauren stomped her foot angrily, she couldn't believe that Chris had pranked her like that. She looked around one more time and didn't find anything, or anyone, the parking lot was empty, except for the cars. Lauren was about to turn around and go back to the elevator when her body collided with someone. She opened her mouth to scream in fright, but her voice died in her throat when she saw who it was. Camila was looking at her with a broad smile on her face and her head tilted to the side. Her brown eyes hypnotized the brunette, stealing her voice effortlessly.

"In a hurry?" The Latina asked, amused, bringing her hands to the brunette's waist.

Lauren swallowed hard, feeling her heart jump in her chest and her hands begin to sweat. She couldn't remember the last time anyone made her feel like that. Camila was turning her life upside down, but she was loving it.

"No-no. I-I..." The brunette began to stutter. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Awesome timing to start acting like a lame idiot. Just awesome, Lauren. The brunette scolded herself, feeling the urge to slap herself. Camila continued to smile, waiting for the brunette to calm down. Affectionately, the Latina began to caress the brunette's waist with her thumbs and felt her gradually relax with that tender touch.

When the brunette opened her eyes again, she held her breath. Camila was still there, smiling in such a sincere way that Lauren couldn't help but smile. Her heart pounded in her chest, it was as if the Latina's smile was exclusively for her.

Ah... If only Lauren knew that Camila really had a smile that was only seen in her presence.

"Well, hello there... Hi." Camila greeted her, her voice coming out a little hoarse and sensual.

Lauren felt goosebumps on her arms, the sexual tension between them was strong. And Camila was the kind of person who was attractive and gallant 24/7, at any time, even when she was waking up, she could seduce someone effortlessly.

"Hi..." Lauren whispered back, the warm breath from her mouth blowing against the Latina's face... her minty breath... Camila closed her eyes and inhaled, her hips automatically moving forward, attaching themselves to the brunette's.

"I need, I just..." The Latina moaned in frustration for always being speechless when she was close to Lauren, and then inched her face closer to the brunette's, her lips meeting hers.

Lauren closed her eyes instantly and moaned in satisfaction when Camila bit her bottom lip. Camila slid her right hand to Lauren's back, pulling her closer and pressing her body even closer to hers. Lauren gasped against Camila's lips, she purred and went back to kissing the Latina, with even more desire than before. Camila returned the kiss with the same intensity as the brunette devoured her mouth.

"Jesus!" Lauren exclaimed when they finally parted their lips with a loud pop that cut through the silent environment.

Camila was panting, just like Lauren, they were both feeling very hot. Lauren's face was a little flushed and had tiny drops of sweat on her temples, and Camila felt the back of her neck damp.

And something else as well... very damp...

"Oh God, your mouth is a sin." The brunette let out and Camila smiled, still a little breathless.

Lauren flashed a shy smile and lowered her head. Camila took advantage of the brunette's position and placed a kiss on her head. Lauren smiled at that affectionate act.

"You have no idea what your mouth does to me." Oh I know, Camila thought, but this time preferred not to say it out loud and ruin the moment. "God! I could kiss you all day."

"Yeah, I have a very addictive kiss." Camila couldn't contain herself and boasted.

Lauren rolled her eyes, sticking her tongue out at the Latina, and because they were still holding each other close, Camila took advantage of that and lightly bit the brunette's tongue, sucking on it right after. Lauren moaned softly, feeling a spasm in her sex.

"You think you're the shit, don't you?" Lauren moved her hands to Camila's shoulders and pushed her away, and the Latina just smiled, not minding Lauren's action, though she preferred to be holding her for as long as possible.

Don't act like an idiot, Camila scolded herself. She'd never impose anything on the brunette, she'd do only what she allowed her to or what she wanted to.

"I don't think, I know I'm the shit!" The Latina winked at Lauren, who crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. Camila smirked and mimicked the brunette's pose.

"Are you really going to imitate me? How childish is that?"

"Do you really think that calling me childish bothers me? I, who sang at your door that a thousand Camilas bother a lot of people?" Camila countered mockingly, and Lauren really tried to maintain her serious posture, but it was impossible to control her laughter when Camila began to act like... Camila.

Lauren uncrossed her arms and let them fall at her side, being imitated by the Latina in seconds.

"Argh! You can be so annoying when you want to. Jesus!" She tried to walk past the Latina, but was stopped by her. "Get out of the way, Camila."

Camila shook her head, trapping her tongue between her teeth. It was a lovely smile, and Lauren loved it.

"Toll." The Latina pouted, indicating she wanted a kiss. The brunette took at least five deep breaths before holding Camila's face in her hands and kissing her affectionately this time. Camila sighed at the sweetness and soft touch of the brunette's soft lips.

"Can I go now, Ms. Duckbello?"

Camila's mouth fell open and her eyebrows arched, she was literally awestruck by Lauren's unexpected teasing.

"So that's how it'll be, Beaveregui?"

Lauren placed one hand over her chest, in a fake resentful expression. It was impossible not to laugh after that, and soon enough they were both laughing loudly. Camila grabbed Lauren's hand and pulled her towards the elevator.

The Latina didn't notice it, but Lauren grinned due to her act.

I think things are finally on the right track..., the brunette thought cheerfully.

[...]

Camila was sitting next to David and Lily, and although she was having a conversation with her friends, her gaze kept wandering to the table where Lauren and some of the actors were. They were on a lunch break, Karma and Amy's love scene had finally been finalized and Simon was thankful because this time there were no mistakes.

Camila and Lauren seemed quite committed to that romantic scene.

If only he knew why...

Even without looking, Lauren felt Camila's eyes burning on her skin. Sometimes it seemed so intense that she got goosebumps. She took advantage of the fact that her friends and colleagues were busy and grabbed her phone from her pocket, then opened WhatsApp and clicked on Camila's contact.

Lauren: I feel your eyes on me...

She sent the message and locked the screen, and surreptitiously saw Camila drop the sandwich in her hand and pick up her phone. A smile was born on the Latina's lips after she checked who it was, and Lauren smiled automatically.

Camila: I'm sorry... I can't help it.

Camila: Because like... it's impossible to keep my eyes off of you.

Camila: You're too attractive.

The brunette's face heated up; Camila always managed to leave her that way with the bare minimum.

Lauren: I hate it when you make me blush.

The brunette leaned back in her chair and patiently waited for Camila's reply, which didn't even take a minute. She's fast, I like it, Lauren thought smiling. She hated waiting for some people's replies.

Camila: I just told the truth. And you don't hate me... I've told you that before.

Lauren: You know what?

Camila: What?

Lauren: You look sexy in a leather jacket.

Camila: I know that, pretty eyes. You look good too. Hot as hell.

Lauren: Your ego suffocates me.

Camila: Don't roll your eyes at me.

Lauren: Or what??

Across the cafeteria, Camila took a deep breath, controlling herself. Lauren watched the Latina take a deep breath and laughed. She would definitely tease Camila, just to know what she would do.

Camila: I might punish you.

Lauren: How?

Camila: You'll find out...

Lauren: Spanking me with a whip again? I'd love it if you did that.

Camila was screaming inside, she felt like shipping everyone else in that room to the other side of the world and just fuck Lauren on one of those tables. But she'd have the chance to do that another time, and surely she'd have the company of her faithful friend; the riding whip she had stored in her closet.

Camila: So you'd like to be spanked???

Lauren: Oh yeah. I'd like that.

Lauren had a devilish grin on her face, she had no idea that teasing Camila by text would be so exciting and fun. Lauren could see the Latina gripping the fork in her hand and taking several deep breaths.

Camila: Have you been a bad girl?

Lauren: Yes...

Camila: Then I'll have to punish you. Because that's what bad girls deserve... punishment.

Lauren: Please do that.

Holy fuck!, Camila screamed inwardly, pressing her thighs together.

Camila: Those who play with fire eventually get burnt.

Lauren: When I started playing with fire the intention was just that... get burnt.

Camila lifted her face at the same time Lauren did and their eyes met. Even from a distance, Lauren could see the gleam of desire in Camila's eyes. The brunette winked at her and blew her a kiss, running the tip of her tongue over her lips in a provocative way. Camila's mouth dropped open, the tempting sight of the brunette mesmerizing her.

Camila: Wow, okay... you're so fucked!!!

Lauren: No, I'm not...

Camila: No...?

Lauren: Not yet, baby. I'll only be fucked after you punish me.

Before the Latina could reply, Simon showed up in the cafeteria calling Camila's group and asking them to go up to the other floor, where they'd film their scene. Camila looked at Lauren, who had a fake innocent smile on her lips.

Camila: Ooohhh! Lauren, when I get my hands on you...

Lauren: Can't wait for that, baby.

And Lauren really couldn't wait.

[...]

The day was busy, but by some miracle the mistakes during the filming of the scenes were minimal. Camila had never been so focused on her scenes and Lauren was no different. Simon and Luke were happy to see their two leading actresses doing so well, the two were sure that Blowaster's second season would look amazing and would bring more viewers.

"Don't forget to wake up tomorrow at seven in the morning." Chris reminded Camila and they both laughed. The Latina nodded and hugged her friend before saying goodbye to him.

On the next day she'd have a photoshoot with the blond, the two were officially the face of Calvin Klein's new underwear line. They had designed new and more comfortable fits for both men and women, and they chose Chris Evans and Camila Cabello as main models. It would be a good move for the brand; in addition to their natural beauty, Camila and Chris are also very popular in the world of fame.

Camila said goodbye to everyone there, and they were all surprised by the Latina's good mood. I mean, she was always nice, but in the last few days she seemed more happy and joyful. Lauren was also happy, smiling at everyone and everything; few people connected their happiness and found it... intriguing, but no one dared say anything. Lauren's mood wasn't the best when someone meddled in her personal life.

When Lauren reached the parking lot, she noticed that most cars were gone already. She grabbed the keys to her newest car, a white 2016 Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and she almost shrieked when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She slipped her purse to her left shoulder and grabbed her phone, and then she unlocked the car, opened the driver's door and threw the bag inside. Then she went to check who had texted her, and she smiled broadly when she saw who it was from.

Camila: You were really going to leave without saying goodbye to me...

Automatically, her eyes roamed around the parking lot in search of Camila's Land Rover, and when she found it, she smiled towards the vehicle.

Lauren: I thought you had already left...

Camila: I was waiting for you.

Camila: Now can you come over here already?

Lauren rolled her eyes, but never stopped smiling. She closed her car door and put the car keys in her pocket, her cellphone too. She looked around just to make sure that there was no one there and within seconds reached Camila's car.

"Through the other side, princess." Camila lowered her window to be able to say that to Lauren, who blushed at the way the Latina called her. Lauren circled the car and opened the passenger door, entering and sitting on the seat.

"We look like two teenagers sneaking around so that our parents don't find out." Lauren commented chuckling as she closed the door, and Camila laughed in agreement before releasing her seatbelt.

"Come here." The Latina beckoned her, patting her legs to indicate what she wanted. "No one can see us here." Camila said reassuringly upon noticing Lauren's hesitation. The brunette sighed and, without saying anything, straddled the Latina.

Camila placed her right hand on Lauren's waist and brought her left one to the brunette's face. She caressed her cheek, her chin, her lips and then moved it to the back of Lauren's neck, pulling her forward and capturing her lips with her own. Lauren sighed, groping around to find somewhere to hold onto and keep her balance while her mouth was practically being devoured by Camila.

The Latina invaded the brunette's mouth with her tongue, bit her lower lip and sucked on it with want, and then went back to mistreating the soft lips with her own. Lauren sighed amid the kiss, her shoulders dropping every time Camila sucked on her tongue hard. Not even the air-conditioning of the car was able to soothe the heat that had begun to suffocate them.

"You-" Lauren pulled back, breathless, and pressed her forehead against the Latina's and took a deep breath. "You shouldn't be allowed to be such a good kisser."

"It's not my fault that my lips are so soft and sweet." Camila whispered back, stretching her neck forward to suck on Lauren's bottom lip. "Addictive."

Lauren smiled without teeth. The Latina let go of her nape and grabbed her waist with both hands, caressing the area with the tips of her fingers.

"You're so gallant." Lauren said, narrowing her eyes playfully at Camila. The Latina trapped the tip of her tongue between her teeth and smiled, closing her eyes. God! Lauren loved to see her smile like that.

"I can't help it." Camila defended herself, letting out a nasal laugh. Lauren tsked and sealed her lips to the Latina's.

"Come with me to my apartment." Lauren leaned forward, beginning to kiss the Latina's neck. Camila closed her eyes and sighed, her ass sliding over the leather of the seat, her hips moving a little lower as she felt the brunette's delicate and provocative kisses on her neck. "Hm? Please. I'll order pizza and then we can chill on the couch, or on the living room floor and-"

"I can't." Regrettably, Camila managed to say that; inside she was dying to go, but she knew that she couldn't be late the next day, and if she were to go with Lauren to her apartment, the Latina would do everything but sleep, thus losing track of time. "I-" She swallowed the saliva in her mouth, her throat was dry and her pulse racing. "I have a photoshoot early in the morning."

Lauren sighed, crestfallen, and rested her forehead on the Latina's shoulder. Camila sighed in relief because the brunette had stopped kissing her neck. She didn't know if she'd be able to deny Lauren anything if she continued doing that.

"Dammit... Really?" Lauren asked, pulling away from Camila to look into her eyes, and the Latina flashed a sad smile and nodded.

"I really want to go, but you know how it is..."

"You like to be punctual."

Camila nodded, smiling at Lauren, which made her smile back. The two of them sat in silence for a while, just enjoying each other's company.

"Don't forget we have a date on Friday... Okay?" Camila reminded Lauren, and the brunette nodded her head. It was obvious that she remembered, she'd never forget anything that involved the Latina.

"What are we going to do?" Lauren asked curiously, to then push her hips backwards and bend her back so she could lay her head in the crook between the Latina's neck and shoulder. Camila moved her legs so that the brunette was as comfortable as possible, she also tilted her seat back a little.

"I'm going to take you to a beautiful place." Camila said plainly, without any other detail. Nothing.

"Where?" Lauren asked with interest and curiosity. She hated not knowing stuff.

"You'll see, but only on Friday." Lauren tried to get off Camila's lap to protest, but the Latina was faster and held her firmly against her body, preventing her from moving. "It's no use doing that; I won't tell you where it is."

"You're a pain-in-the-ass!"

"Don't be like that, baby." Camila teased her with a pout. Lauren huffed and opened her mouth, digging her teeth into Camila's neck, causing the Latina to growl in pain and surprise. "Get those beaver teeth off my neck, you crazy beautiful woman."

"Camila, go fuc-" Before Lauren could finish, Camila covered her mouth.

"Shhh, bad baby, who's teaching you to cuss?"

Lauren struggled in Camila's lap, trying to free herself from her embrace at all costs.

"Let-" The brunette was trying to push Camila's hands away so that she could free herself. "me go! You idiot!"

Camila just threw her head back and laughed, and Lauren sighed in defeat and crossed her arms, pouting. She knew she wouldn't get out of there anytime soon.

Especially since she didn't even want to really free herself, it felt good to be in Camila's arms.

Even though she's an annoying little duck, Lauren thought before she gave up trying to free herself and lay her head back on Camila's chest.

It was the best place to be.

[...]

The two of them stayed inside the car a little longer, they talked about several subjects, Lauren even tried to find out more about their date on Friday, but the Latina was smart and didn't let anything slip, which annoyed the brunette. They said goodbye after agreeing on a time to meet on Friday. Lauren arrived home all smiles. The brunette threw herself on her couch and closed her eyes, remembering the moments she had shared with the Latina during the day. Her phone vibrated, it was a message from Camila.

Camila: LAUREN!

Camila: LAUREN

Camila: LAUREN

Camila: AJSKJAHSAHEDUIGWAE LAUREN

Lauren frowned, trying to understand Camila's bustle.

Lauren: Yes?

Lauren: yEs?

Lauren: YES?

Lauren: YYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSS???????

Camila: You. Will. Not. Believe. What. I. Just. Did.

Lauren: ugh... here we go again. What did you do?

Camila: Are you ready? Can I send it?

Lauren: Camila, for the love of God!! Quit stalling!

Camila: Ok, sorry, Ms. Hurry. You always ruin my suspenseful vibe. Pft.

Lauren: CAMILA CAMELO!

Camila: Did you really just call me a camel but in Portuguese? But I thought I was a duck...?

Lauren: Could you please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU DID?!

Camila: Jesus... Calm down.

Camila: Okay...

Camila: Are you ready?

Camila: *image*

Lauren analyzed the picture and when she finally understood what it was, a loud laugh echoed through the apartment. She couldn't believe that Camila had actually done that.

Lauren: You-

Lauren: Camila...

Lauren: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAH

Lauren: NO

Lauren: NOO!!

Lauren: I. CAN'T. BELIEVE. THIS. How old are you really?

Camila: Almost 8 u-u

Camila: And hey!! You really gonna tell me you didn't like our son? He has his mother's face, aka me.

Lauren: You have serious problems... Seriously... WHO EVEN PUTS A DUCK'S HEAD ON A BEAVER'S BODY??

Camila: I just wanted to show you the picture of our son... You have no heart. His custody will be mine, you'll never be able to see him again.

Lauren: Camila... Seriously, go seek help. Goodnight <3

Camila: Goodnight, mean mother <3 Can't wait for Friday!

Lauren: Me too, boo :*

Me too, Lauren repeated in thought and closed her eyes again, the smile on her face was huge. She couldn't wait for their date.
