ii. only seeing myself, when I'm looking up at you

They've been hanging out a lot.

Normani, Dinah, Camila and Lauren that is.

Dinah presents them with a new addition few weeks later the night Camila and Lauren met; Ally.

Ally is a wonderful cinnamon roll, too pure for this world, the mom of the group.

Naturally--for being a mom, she has a sixth sense.

Ally sees Camila alone so she comes up beside her and Camila can clearly see she's trying so hard not to show a smirk but it's failing miserably.

"What is it?" Camila demands after Ally just stands there--now, smirking shamelessly.

"You have zero game." Ally says laughing and exhaling at the same time. She sits on Camila's right side.

"What do you mean?" Camila frowns because they're not playing games?

They are sitting on a Cinema waiting for a movie to start.

"You and Lau-" Ally is interrupted by Lauren sitting beside Camila.

She kisses Camila's cheek and greets her with a 'Hey, babe'.

She is not feeling butterflies, seriously, she isn't.

Lauren has greeted her like that for as long as she can remember-since they met, so she can't possibly still be feeling those butterflies.

(Oh, but she is, and it strongly feels like they're at war).

Once Camila smiles at Lauren and the tingling feeling on her cheek stops, she realizes Ally was about to say something about Lauren.

"What were you saying, Ally?"

"Um, I was going to ask if you have seen Lauren but now she's here so...themovieisstartingshutup."

Camila looks at her like she's fucking crazy but decides to let go because now everything's dark and she's got Lauren beside her.

Lauren fucking Jauregui.

They're watching Me Before You.

"What's this about again?"

Camila can feel Lauren's lip brush ever so slightly on her earlobe and she shivers.

And blushes because Ally's words reverberate on her mind like a catchy song you don't necessarily like.

She turns to face Lauren and finds her face very (very) close to hers.

Gulping, she answers her and Lauren nods, turning back to the big screen.

Ally keeps casting glances at Camila thinking that she isn't noticing but she is.

When Ally 'subtly' looks at her for like the 1000th time, she looks back and Ally looks like a deer caught in a headlight.

Camila has to laugh before asking what the heck she's doing.

She leans close to Camila and whispers that 'I know you want to do the fricky-frack with Lauren'.

Camila blushes profoundly even though Ally didn't even use the word sex.

It is true, though. She does want to have sex with Lauren.

Who wouldn't, to be honest?

But it's not just that that she wants.

Camila can't quite put into words what she feels for Lauren, she can just feel it.

It's like, a combination of green eyes on black jackets on pale skins on rosy lips was never meant to look this fucking good but it does and Camila just wants to know all of the possible combinations that Lauren can be.

But did she even like girls?

What brings her back to the present is Lauren whispering to all of them that she wishes Emilia Clarke was gay.

Dinah rolls her eye, Normani laughs and Ally just smiles widely at both Lauren and Camila.

Camila is surprised but after 2 months of being around Lauren she's learned to hide her real reactions well.

She pays attention to the movie, now. Suddenly more bright than ever and Ally most definitely is throwing more smirks at her way.

Emilia Clarke is at the beach with Sam Caflin and all Camila can think about is how the music choice for this specific moment is bullshit.

She recognizes almost instantly that certain parts of Blue by Troye Sivan would be so relatable.

I want you, I'll color me blue
Anything it takes to make you stay

Camila shakes her head, thinking how much of a dork she must be.
No one pays attention to music choices, you're supposed to just accept them.

"They should've changed this song." Lauren says.

Is mind reading a thing?

Camila would be royally fucked.

"What song do you think they should've put?" Camila asks narrowing her eyes because if Lauren says it--if Lauren dares to say the song she was thinking, this is it.

She is it.

"Blue. That song by that youtuber...Troye Sivan, you know him?"

Camila opens her mouth in a big O while her eyes widen.

She opens her mouth as if to speak only to close it again with a pop.

Seconds later she nods her head and smiles widely at Lauren.

"I know you're seeing black and white, so I'll paint a clear blue sky..."

She whispers to Camila.

"It just makes sense, doesn't it?"

Camila nods her head dumbly, still smiling.

She could kiss Lauren right then and right there.

But she doesn't.

Instead she says--with glimering eyes and a tight feeling on her chest--that the chorus adds up to it, too.

They exchange secret smiles and Camila doesn't kiss her but now it is only because the ambient is not intimate enough.
