Pov Camila

-You want me to forget about Karla Estrabao?

I asked the woman who stared at me in a firm and patient way.

-I want her to exist only for me. And soon.

I loved that possessive way of Lauren, it made me love her even more. But I didn't understand where she wanted to go with that. I was already only hers.

-What do you mean by that?

Lauren took a deep breath and smiled, bringing her hand over mine that rested on the table, where she began a light caress.

-I want you to leave "Imperium".

For a few seconds I was completely paralyzed, trying to figure out if I had heard that from her or if my imagination simply had gone too far.

-Camila... - Lauren whispered, waking me up.

-Are you serious?

-Yes, I thought that well, now that we are together you don't need to go there anymore. - Lauren spoke calmly as she drank her red wine.

-Lauren, me going there or not, it won't interfere with what we have, baby. - I spoke calmly.

-Of course it will. I don't want you there, exposing yourself like that. - she spoke serious.

-Until a week ago you liked it, and you didn't mind. - I let out indifferently.

The woman rolled her eyes and huffed.

-A week ago you weren't my girlfriend.

The atmosphere automatically got heavy, spreading the tension between us.

-What does that change? We are just together officially. Nothing will change.

-Obvious it will, Camila!

-In what?

-In everything! You are mine now.

-And I will always be, Lauren!

-Not being there, dancing for those people. I want you to be only mine.

-You are my girlfriend, Lauren, not my owner.

We stared at each other almost spitting fire. Amazing how everything was too good to be true.

-Wow, I can't believe that you just said that. - she spoke standing up from the table, and in the same instant I regretted for being too rude. I stayed seated staring at Lauren that served herself a little bit more of red wine, to then look towards the rough sea. I stood up slowly and walked towards her.

-I'm sorry. I just want you to understand, I can't leave. - I said touching Lauren's arms affectionately.

-What holds you there?

-I can't simply leave Candece aside. I can't give up on the project with her.

-Project where only she gains, right?

-Lauren, I also receive very well for it.

-Camila, you don't need it!

-If I'm there is because I need it.

-I can give you everything you want, baby.

-I don't want your money.

-I don't want you there. Being with me you'll never need anything.

-Do you really think that I'm the type of person that will be supported by another?

Lauren looked at me incredulously, it was clear the nuisance of having me clash with her.

-Don't come with your pride, Camila. We don't have room for that here.

-I don't want to depend on you.

-You rather stay half naked on top of that stage?! - she almost shouted angrily.

-Since when does it bother you so much? Are you gonna play the good Samaritan as well? Like everyone else? - I said angrily.

-You don't know what people say there, Camila, how they see you, God!

-I don't care, okay? You have no idea what I've heard for it, Lauren, nothing they say or think affects me. Not anymore.

-But it affects me, how do you think it makes me feel? Knowing that everyone in there thinks filthy things about my woman?

I knew how hard that was for her. I didn't take away Lauren's reasons. But I couldn't simply throw everything into the air. Candece was an important piece for everything that I am today, and leaving her wasn't the fairest thing to do.

-Just ignore them, Lauren. - I tried to calm myself.

-You think it's possible? Look very carefully into my eyes, Camila, do you really think I can? - she spoke firmly, holding my arms.

Her eyes conveyed fury, jealousy, power.

-You met me like that...

-Wouldn't you be able to change for me?

-And you? Would you be able to change for me?

In that instant our gazes kept connected by a heavy tension.

-Don't turn the tables, Cabello. - she grumbled letting go of my arms.

-I'm not turning the tables. I just want you to think a little. Have you stopped to imagine what led me to do it? The reasons why I can't leave?

Lauren that had her back turned to me, now turned around to face me.

-I don't know what led you to do it, but the reasons I can imagine.

Her voice tone could be almost acidic. I wasn't prepared to hear bad things from her, no, I wasn't. Lauren turned her back to me again and drank all the wine from her glass.

-What do you imagine, Jauregui?

-You haven't the slightest idea? - she turned to face me again.

She was with a superior and arrogant gaze. Her voice poured sarcasm.

-You like to be courted, Camila. You like to be wanted, to be desired.

-You think I'm there simply because I like to be courted?

-For what reason would it be? You must love seeing all those people go crazy for you, right? Everyone there would pay whatever it takes to sleep with you.

I stayed staring at the woman in front of me, with her mocking tone. I just shook my head and smiled humorlessly.

-You are an asshole, Lauren. - I spoke before leaving her there alone.

Pov Lauren

I saw Camila walking in hurried and heavy steps into the house. Dammit, I had ruined everything. I closed my eyes thinking about the shit that I had spoken.

Dammit, dammit!

I threw the glass of wine on the floor, seeing the fine crystal shatter into pieces.

What do I do?

I shook my head, and walked from one side to the other thinking about what I should do. Was going after her the right thing to do? No, Camila didn't have to refuse my request. It was obvious that she had the obligation to leave that club. I could never let my woman keep dancing half naked for those disgusting people.

No, Lauren, you were too harsh...

Yes...

No...

In that split second my thoughts were being bombarded from both sides, which prevented me from thinking. Was I right or wrong? I looked towards the house when I saw the light from the master bedroom lit up. And it was to there that I went.

I walked in hurried steps down the hall to the bedroom where Camila was, and with force opened the door coming across the woman putting her clothes inside her small backpack. She did everything so fast, that she didn't even notice my presence there, or simply decided to ignore me.

-What do you think you're doing?

-Isn't it obvious? I'm leaving! - she seethed furiously and then went back to packing her things.

-You are not going anywhere! - I ordered pulling the backpack from her hand.

-Give me back my backpack now!

-You are not leaving! - I shouted at her.

-And who guarantees you that? - she asked in provocation.

-Me.

-You are not the boss of me, Jauregui!

Camila seethed and walked towards the door, when I quickly held her tightly by the arm. Bringing her body close to mine harshly. I didn't even give her time to think. I just kissed her with want. Our lips crashed with such aggressiveness that I groaned in pain and pleasure. Camila put her small hands on my shoulders and pushed me, making me let her go.

-I don't want to be here with you!

-You always want to. - I spoke cynically.

-Not today.

She shouted angrily, breathing heavily. Grabbing the backpack from the floor, to then walk out of the room, and again I pulled her.

-You are not leaving! And this is not a request. It's an order! - I let out the words in a serious and firm way, bringing Camila's body close to mine.

-How many times do I have to tell you that you are not the boss of me?!

Camila said glaring at me with that pair of furious brown eyes. I smirked, sarcastically.

-How many times do I have to tell you that I am the boss of you, whether you want it or not Karla Camila?!

Camila smiled sarcastically.

-You are wrong. With Karla you don't boss around. And you never will... you know why?

Dammit. It was her. Karla.

-Because she's your weakness. Because when she reigns, you surrender yourself.

Camila spoke each word in a dragged and sexy way. I backed away a few steps until I felt the bed behind me.

-You need to get used to the fact that with me your power is nothing. Who's in charge here is me, Lauren. - Karla said throwing me roughly on the bed - I will refresh your memory of who is Karla Estrabao.

My body collided against the soft mattress. And I quickly tried to get up thinking that Camila would leave. But on the contrary. If there was Camila, she would leave. But she was no longer there, in front of me was only her. Karla.

The brunette was standing, slowly taking the dress off her so fucking amazing body. Jesus, at every second I could see Karla's body showing more and more. As soon as the fabric was completely off her body, leaving only the small black lace lingerie, I sighed. Karla looked at me with fury, and climbed into bed. Straddling my lap without mercy.

-I will show you who's in charge here.

I didn't say anything, the way how Karla took over power left me totally surrendered. The brunette was now half naked sitting on my lap, with her long flowing hair. Staring at me with a flaming gaze. Her small hands quickly went to my neck, in which she pulled to take my mouth in a searing kiss.

I was fucked.

Karla's mouth mistreated mine with want. With desire her tongue snaked over mine without shame, urging my body to want more. The kiss was so intense, so carnal. God, I wanted more. Her hands traveled down to my shirt, pulling it out of my body. And soon after her lips captured mine again, while her hands squeezed my breasts tightly over the bra. Camila's fierce kisses went down to my neck, where the brunette took care of biting hard.

-Son of a bitch! - I cussed.

She didn't stop, right after the bite her wet tongue slid over my pulse point in such a teasing way that I could feel myself getting turned on. Her hands went up to the straps of my bra, lowering it roughly. Leaving my breasts fully bare to her that stared at them with so much desire. With her eyes glazed on my breasts, Camila grabbed one with each hand and squeezed slowly but tightly.

I closed my eyes and arched my head back feeling her hands massage my breasts. I moaned softly when she pinched my nipples between her fingers. My breath was panting, mismatch, I could feel my center soaked wet. I closed my eyes as soon as I felt the brunette's hot breath against my breasts. I knew what was coming. I bit my lip when her hot tongue slid over my breast.

-Oh yes, Karla...

I looked at her who sucked with so much want. I could feel weak with that view. Camila, or rather, Karla, circled the areola of my breasts with her tongue in such an arousing way that I was forced to dig my nails in the soft fabric that covered the bed. The noise of the sucking was driving me completely crazy. The brunette sucked me hungrily. Sliding the tip of her tongue nonstop over the sensitive skin of my breast. It was mind-blowing.

-Suck hard. - I cried out to her, who in the same instant stopped.

Her bright brown eyes stared at me, exposing a fire of anger and lust.

-Please... - I begged to the brunette who opened a devilish smile.

Karla leaned over again, capturing my other breast in which she did the same work, sucking hungrily. And she only stopped when she left it completely reddish and sensitive, giving a small bite in the end. Camila moved, getting off of me.

-Take off your clothes - she ordered - Now.

-You want to top now?

-Take off your fucking clothes.

I squinted my eyes in her direction, and obeyed. I slowly opened the zipper of my pants, taking it off my body with certain difficulty. Everything under the close supervision of Karla.

-You look really hot with these tiny panties, Lauren.

The words came out of that fleshy mouth so full of malice.

-Turn around, and lie down in bed.

-Camila... - I tried to speak.

-I'm in charge.

I swallowed hard and slowly lay facedown on the soft bed. Jesus Christ, what the hell was I doing? I was receiving orders from that damn woman that made me lose my mind. I felt Camila move in bed, crawling over me. Until I felt her soft lips touching the skin of my back. She trailed with wet and long kisses up to my neck. Where she decided to lick slowly.

-Are you seeing? That who's in charge here it's me? You can't want to end with my strongest side, Lauren.

I heard Karla's hoarse and sensual voice in my ear, making all the hairs on my body stand on end. She bit my earlobe lightly, to start traveling with kisses down the length of my spine, down to the top of my ass, in which she slid her hand slowly, to then spank it hard.

-Oh! - I exclaimed in surprise.

I closed my eyes tightly, and stared at her through the huge  mirror that was in the room. Karla was kneeling on the bed, analyzing my body thoroughly .

-If you do that again, I will...

She spanked me again, making me groan in pain.

-You will what, Lauren? Say it! - she spanked me again.

I closed my eyes and bit my lip hard. To then stare at Karla who smiled in my direction. I would let her boss around that night, I would surrender myself.

-That's what I thought, stay quiet.

The brunette leaned over, depositing some kisses on the red mark of my ass. To then remove the tiny red lace panties that I was wearing that night.

-You are soaked wet. I see that my spanks turn you on. - she teased, squeezing my buttocks tightly.

-If you take too long, I will turn the tables. And take charge of everything. - I whispered - And Miss Estrabao, if I'm able to do it, I will fuck you all night long.

Karla leaned forward, and captured my hair with her hand, tugging on it with certain force. While her mouth bit my neck.

-That would be tempting, Jauregui. But today, who's in charge it's me. And who's going to be fucked all night long, it's you.

She whispered in a purely sexual way.

-Get on all fours, fast!

I didn't take long, I lifted from the bed. Getting on all fours for Karla that was behind me, like a hungry predator.

-That's the way I like it. Obedient. - she mocked before clashing her tongue on my wet center.

-Oh yes! - I moaned gripping the bed sheets tightly.

The brunette slid her tongue up and down my slick folds, making my whole body writhe. Karla was with one hand on each side of my buttocks. While her tongue took care of tasting every little bit of my sex. I lowered my head, staying with my forehead glued to the mattress. The feeling of being fully exposed to her drove me crazy. I felt her hot and soft tongue sliding avidly on my needy clit that wanted more.  

-Fuck Karla... Hmmm.

The woman squeezed hard the flesh of my butt, leaving pretty visible red marks. While her mouth took care of giving me pleasure. I started to rock my body, forcing my center against Camila's tongue. I looked towards the mirror watching the scene in which we found ourselves in, and oh my God. I could cum just by watching that. I was fully open in bed, while Camila sucked me. And sucked me hard.

-Fuck why do you have to be so delicious?! - Camila seethed amid a break, spanking my ass hard.

-Shut up, just suck me! - I ordered.

And so she did. Camila slid her tongue incessantly on my bundle of nerves. Fast and hard. It was impossible to prevent my body from reacting. It moved relentlessly, in strong rocks against that Latina's bold tongue, that sucked even my soul. The choked moans came out of my mouth, filling that room.

-Oh fuck! That!

She sucked me with such want that I felt that at any moment I could cum. I closed my eyes, and then she stopped.

-Get up! - she ordered pulling me to her.

Karla wrapped one arm around my waist as she distributed kisses on my shoulders and on my neck. We were now kneeling in bed. The brunette's bold hands squeezed my breasts tightly. But I needed more. And she didn't take long to give it to me. One of Karla's hands went down from my breast to my soaked wet center, while her mouth was next to my ear, breathing deeply, heavily. I closed my eyes as soon as her fingers started a rhythmic massage on my clit.

-Oh! Yes... - I moaned, arching my head back.

That place was hot, almost excruciating. I felt my body burning in a sauna. The sweat started to trickle in our bodies. I closed my eyes, while the involuntary moans came out of my mouth. Until Karla penetrated me with two fingers at once, making me open my mouth in a perfect "O".

-Fuck, Camila!

The brunette bit hard on my shoulder, thrusting hard into me. I swear that I began to feel a kind of frenzy. Her fingers pumped in and out of me with force and speed. I held tightly on the bed's headboard preventing my body from falling onto the mattress. While Karla fucked me hard. I was so wet that her fingers had a huge easiness to move fast.

-God! I will fuck all of you, Lauren. I love how you are tight inside here.

Camila was with her body practically united to mine from behind, so at every movement that I made she accompanied in the same rhythm. Her fingers invaded me in such a delicious way.

-Faster... Fast! - I spoke panting.

And so she did. I wouldn't last long. I closed my eyes feeling my whole body shiver. Camila's deep thrusts, accompanied by kisses that the brunette gave me was maddening me. I was cuming for her, intensely hard. I moaned. Oh God, I practically cried out. I cussed her.

-Fucking hell, Karla! Fuck me.

I rocked on her fingers without the slightest control or shame. I was completely out of me. Being guided only by the pleasure that consumed every cell of my body. I came for her.

The brunette removed her fingers from inside me. And slowly let her head rest on my back. We were sweaty, panting.

-You are my end.

-You are mine too.

-----

I shifted in bed, feeling my whole body soft. The clarity coming from the window took care of concentrating itself on my eyes. Hell. I stretched slowly, and sat up in bed. I rubbed my eyes for long minutes when I came across an empty bedroom.

Dammit.

That wasn't a good sign. As a result of last night, I couldn't expect breakfast in bed. And Camila wouldn't get up from bed to be alone somewhere else, unless it was to leave.

No, no...

I got up from bed, pulling the bed sheet along my body and looked out the window. The deck was empty. I descended the stairs of the house looking everywhere, and no sign of her there. I returned to the bedroom and saw a small note:

"You need time to think things through.

K.C"

I crumpled the small paper, discounting the anger that I felt. She had left, without even saying goodbye. I threw the paper on the floor and went towards the bathroom, if she was thinking that I would go after her, she was very much mistaken.

Pov Camila

-I can't believe that you left her alone there. - Dinah grumbled as she unpacked her things.

-I left! And I don't regret it.

-Let me see if I understood. You were in a romantic dinner, right? - Ally asked as she walked from one side to the other.

-Yes.

-Then you fought, had sex. And you left?

-Exactly, Ally.

-I thought that after sex, you two would be okay. - Dinah spoke quickly.

-She also thought that. But Lauren has to learn that sex doesn't solve everything. - I exclaimed as I finished unpacking.

-What was the reason of the fight?

-She asked me to leave "Imperium".

Ally and Dinah looked at each other as if they already imagined.

-And you think she's wrong?

-Yes, Ally.

-Try to understand her side, Mila, you can't be comfortable when your woman is dancing for a bunch of people.

-I don't take away her reason regarding that. - I spoke sitting on the bed - I just wanted her to try to understand me. I can't drop everything like that. It's my life.

-Just like it is your life, it's her life as well. I think that you two should talk. Dialogue is always good.

-You should have more sex.

-Mercy, Hansen. They already have sex all the time. I don't know from where these girls get so much fire.

-From the same place where you got it at Taylor's party. - Dinah said laughing.

-What? - I asked without understanding.

-Allyson went crazy at your sister-in-law's party.

-Dinah, shut up!

I squinted my eyes towards Ally who blushed.

-What did you do?

-Nothing, Mila. - the shorter one said quickly.

-If dancing on top of a table to the sound of Queen B is nothing, kill me once and for all.

I opened my mouth in a perfect "O".

-You danced on top of a table?

Ally widened her eyes.

-And almost wanted to take off her clothes! - Dinah laughed.

-You have got to be kidding!

-I'm not! Vero filled the prissy Miss there with alcohol. And those were the results.

-Ally, I don't even know what to say...

-Don't say anything, I already asked forgiveness to Jesus.

-You have to ask forgiveness for the sins with Troy as well.

-What sins?

-I don't know very well what happened. But I heard certain noises coming from the bathroom the night of the party. And who was there? Ally and Troy.

-Mercy, be quiet. You don't even know what happened.

-And neither do you apparently!

-Dinah, leave her alone, you are making Ally embarrassed.

-What? Everybody has sex.

-Dinah! - the shorter one exclaimed embarrassed.

-Ok, let's go back to Camila's matter.

-As I was saying, you need to talk, and a lot.

-I don't know, maybe Dinah is right. Lauren and I would never work out.

-You should have thought about that before starting a relationship with her, Mila. You know, I'll tell you something. I never imagined that your relationship would come this far, it's obvious that Lauren loves you.

I stayed in silence only hearing what the shorter one had to tell me.

-I agree with Ally, and I think that Lauren was the best person that you have ever met. - Dinah said sitting next to me.

-I don't doubt that, girls. But Lauren needs to try to be more volatile. I'm not like the others that she bosses around. And besides, she must be furious with me for having left her alone.

-She won't want to see you so soon.

-Exactly.

-Do you think she'll be at the company today?

-I doubt it, for what I know of her, Lauren won't show up today.

-----

And she really didn't show up. The movement at Jauregui's Industry was very calm. During the day some phone calls, spreadsheets to upgrade, meetings to reschedule. But other than that it was a total boredom. Which consequently made me look at the screen of my phone every five minutes waiting for a life sign from Lauren.

That never came.

Perhaps I had been inconsequent, perhaps I shouldn't have left before talking. With Lauren things were very impulsive and emotional, from both sides. I didn't want to ruin everything with her. And neither clash nor fight with her. But over time, I built around me a kind of force field that protected me from every and any situation that would offend me. Maybe it was what happened with Lauren. I repelled her before she even started to throw out ideas that I knew she didn't have about me. But that time or another could be spoken.

I unlocked my phone one more time as soon as it beeped with a notification alert. I opened the text, but it was only Dinah saying that she would leave earlier for having an headache. I responded quickly and locked the phone.

I worked the rest of the day. It was so weird to be there without her. Without hearing the sound of her high heels on the wooden floor, or the sound of her raspy voice giving me orders. Or the simple murmurs of the employees saying how Lauren was rude.

Maybe she was, actually she was. But not with me.

I thought about calling her, sending a text. But at every instant my subconscious screamed for me not to do it. I had given her time for her to think, and she would determine how much time she needed.

-----

I waited for my working hours to end to then start packing my things and leave. I grabbed my bag and got up from the table. Checking my phone one last time, and no sign of her. I huffed irritated thinking about how insignificant I was to her, so far not even a single text message.

I walked in slow steps to the elevator, which seemed to take forever to go down. Miami was incredibly under water that night. The torrential rain only made me cuss God and the world for not having a taxi in sight nor someone to give me a lift.

I closed the coat on my body, and grabbed the small umbrella. I walked in hurried steps to the other side of Jauregui's Industry under all that water. Seeing the weak movement of the cars in that street. Dammit. The heavy rain made my high heels highly smooth, it was when I decided to take them off. I crossed to another street when a car stopped next to me, making a bit of water splash on my clothes. I prepared myself to cuss when I realized who was inside the car.

-Get in. - Lauren spoke quickly.

-What are you doing here?

Lauren smiled.

-It's better if I explain with you inside the car, don't you think?

I nodded and entered the car quickly wetting the padded of Lauren's favorite car. But she didn't even seem to mind, her countenance was somewhat worried in my direction.

-Take off your coat.

I looked at her without understanding, did she want to have sex precisely now?

-Take it off, Camz, and put on mine. You are soaked.

I sighed, and with certain difficulty took off the wet coat, throwing it on the car's floor. Lauren stayed looking at me, and then started the car to leave. The drive was made in a pure silence, it was starting to be a bit awkward. But I wouldn't be the first to talk. Time or another Lauren casted me a calm gaze, but soon returned her attention to the dark street. Until we stopped in front of my building. The woman turned off the car, and then everything went silent, hearing only the sound of the rain hitting against the car.

I sighed and opened the car door to get out, but soon felt the woman pull me. And when I turned around she took my lips in a soothing and slow kiss. I closed my eyes feeling Lauren's soft lips moving against mine with the world's greatest calmness. Her tongue asked for entrance and I allowed it. That kiss was different, it wasn't carnal nor laden with desire. I could feel in it a great relief for having her there, with me.

Lauren prolonged the act to the maximum she could, and then was gradually stopping the kiss with small pecks.

-I'm sorry. - she whispered almost inaudibly to me.

I sighed and touched her face with my fingertips.

-I didn't want to speak those things yesterday, I swear to you, Camz.

-I believe you.

She opened her eyes, letting me immerse in that immense green. They were so beautiful that night, that I could spend hours and hours looking at them.

-I love you, ok? I spent the entire morning thinking about everything. About us, about me, about you, and about Karla.

I smiled, it could be comical how Lauren separated Karla from me. As if we were two different people.

-I thought you were angry, and hating me the whole morning. - I spoke leaning against the passenger seat. Making Lauren smile.

-No, I didn't hate you. Perhaps only at the time that I saw your note. But not after. I just stayed thinking really.

-You could have at least called me, don't you think? I waited for a sign of you all morning.

-I'm sorry, Camz. I needed some time to think.

-And you came to what conclusion?

-Well, I came to the conclusion that I rushed when I requested that. Not that I regret it, I really want you to leave that place. But I imagine that you must have strong reasons to be there. Or to have gone there. Reasons that I really want to know, maybe that's what's missing in us. I want to know every little bit of your life, Camz, but before I want you to forgive me for everything.

-I forgive you, and I'm sorry too. - I whispered to her - For everything. For the misunderstanding, for the way how I spoke and acted.

Lauren smiled and grabbed my hand slowly, giving a little kiss.

-Sleep with me tonight?

She asked sweetly, leaving me no other choice but to accept.

Pov Lauren

I couldn't sleep a wink that night. A million thoughts invaded my head at every second, not giving me a chance to rest, not even for a minute. I looked to my side, seeing Camila sleeping serenely beside me. She looked simply wonderful, she was wearing my formal white blouse that reached the middle of her butt covered by a small white lingerie. That she decided to put on after we made love.

We made love after the long and tense conversation we had. I was determined to know more about her, find out every path that the brunette I loved so much had traveled. And they weren't easy. I found out that Camila hasn't always had a bad financial condition, but everything started to crumble down when her father started gambling, losing all the money and possessions that the Cabello family owned. I stayed wondering if there wasn't a way to make him stop, but she explained that when her mother found out everything was already lost. That Alejandro Cabello had already bankrupted. And that when he didn't have anything else he started to force his wife to work hard, and in the end the woman had her money taken away and lost again. Thus leaving Camila and Sofia without absolutely anything. I swear that I felt bad for that, but it was far worse to see the woman crying as she remembered.

The addiction took over her father, leading to drinking and drugs. She spoke with pain how hard it was to see her mother getting beaten up every night when he arrived home. The desperation of seeing such scene never left her head, that scene left incurable marks.

I closed my eyes, and stared at her again. I made a light caress in her dark hair, making the woman sigh.

-Karla Estrabao emerged by a necessity. - Camila spoke wiping some tears.

-How did it start?

-After my mother kicked my father out of the house, we had to find a way to support ourselves. And my mother's salary wasn't enough. Sofi had health problems when she was very young, and the little money that my mother earned wasn't enough for everything.

I stared at the woman that was telling me everything with sadness. I pulled Camila closer to me.

-I decided to go after a job. But as you can imagine, no one wanted to hire me. After all I didn't even have any kind of expertise in any area. I returned home, but before I met Candece in an old coffee shop near my house. For some reason God sent her to that place. In the beginning I was scared, she showed me everything, the club and what the girls did there. And soon thought that she wanted me as a prostitute and I refused. But she explained that those weren't the plans she had for me. So I accepted. In the middle of all the humiliation that I was living, that was the only way out, Lauren.

Camila spoke letting the tears fall, and I delicately wiped them.

-And after?

-After I became Karla Estrabao. I was trained by her, Candece gave me all the coordinates to make me some sort of seduction machine. With time the club that was weak started to grow. We realized that my shows reached a big audience. And I along Candece lifted "Imperium" to the level it has today. I started to gain really well, which made my mother suspicious of my work. Until one day she found out.

The brunette lowered her head and took a deep breath. And I stroked my hand lightly on her back, in a soothing caress.

-She hated me, Lauren. Never in all my life I expected to hear the things she said to me. I felt the worst person in the world, the dirtiest and impure. I cried for months as I remembered every word that she spoke. She kicked me out of the house, and I left to never return. I left everything in a perfect state, and promised that every month I would send an amount of money to help her with Sofi. In the beginning she refused, but then the necessity spoke louder. - Camila took a sip of wine and continued to speak.

-At that time I already knew Dinah, she worked at Jauregui's Industry along with Ally, and they got a job for me there. Then, I became all of this. Camila Cabello the secretary of a multinational by morning, and Karla Estrabao the stripper by night.

-Have I gotten myself into a trap? - I spoke in a playful tone that made her smile in a sincere way.

-Maybe yes.

I smiled and inched closer to her, pulling her face for a calm kiss.

-I admire you a lot, you know? After all of this, I can only say that now I'm even more in love with you, Karla Camila.

I looked into her brown eyes and saw that they were teary , I deposited a small kiss on each side of her face to finish with one on her lips.

-I want to be the differential in your life, I want to make you happy.

-I know that you will make me very happy, Lauren.

-I promise. I will never disappoint you, baby.

And it was with those words that I defined our future. I would make Camila Cabello happy.
