Our Story is Forever (Camren)

Chapter 3

Camila’s POV

I was standing in front of the mirror making sure everything in my outfit was perfect. I heard a car pull up the drive way. I immediately knew it was Lauren. She’s here. I started getting butterflies in my stomach, my heart was racing. I wouldn’t believe she showed up, I kinda expected her not to show up. I’m glad she did though.

Next thing I knew there was a knock on the door. Uh oh, what is she doing? My parents are home. They don’t know it’s a date! What is she going to say? I quickly grabbed my purse and headed down stairs before Lauren tells my parents more then they need to know. I’m too late however. Lauren is already talking to my parents, great, this is just great. “Mija, wow you look beautiful, have fun, don’t be back too late I love you” she kissed me on the cheek.

“Mami please, stop, don’t embarrass me in front of my friends” I try to avoid any contact wuth Lauren.

“She’s right Camz, you look, beautiful” she said hardly above a whisper, but loud enough so I can hear. I don’t think anyone could blush more than I am right now. “Thanks Laur”

 Lauren just nodded at my dad then looked at me. “Ready beautiful?” I simply nod and we walk to her car, she opens the door for me and runs to the other side of the car to get in the driver’s seat. The ride was quite, the music was playing low, but I knew the song, I started humming to ease the tension, but mostly because I was a little too nervous I had no idea where we were going.

Laurens POV

I couldn’t help but to smile, I think I look like an idiot. Camila’s humming only made my smile increase more, if that was even possible. I started to wonder what it was like to hear her sing. It literally was music to my ears; can this girl be more adorable?

Finally I parked outside a small café next to a park. “I hope you like coffee, or hot chocolate. It’s the best here, and their cookies are pretty good too” I said while I walk to the other side of the car to open her door for her. I reached out my hand for her to grab, and she did, I intertwined my fingers with hers. She ordered the hot chocolate and I ordered the coffee. After we got our drinks we walked to the park.

It was so peaceful, the stars were bright, and no people were around but mostly because her hand never left mine. We had a comfortable silence, or so I thought before I soon heard her ask me “So how do my parents know you are taking me out on a date, and they were so okay with it?”

I couldn’t help but smile. I can’t believe she still doesn’t know. “Well the day after I asked you on a date, I might have asked your parents if I could take you out…And well here we are” I said as I turned to look at her. I could see the surprise in her eyes, like if it was too good to be true.

“Camz, I told you, you aren’t like other girls.. I really want to give this a try.” I never seen her more confused in my life, she wanted answers.

It took a moment for her to gather her thoughts “What.. You asked them?.. How.. what did they say?”

“well.. it was pretty scary at first really….”

Flash back

It was the day after I asked Camila to go on a date with me. I wanted her to feel special, and court her the way she deserves to be courted. That’s when I thought about formally asking her parents to take her out. I knew Camila was at Dinah’s house today because she mentioned she has a project to do with her. I found this as the perfect opportunity. I got dressed up presentable but not trying too hard. As I reached her house I intently felt nervous, I don’t think I was ready for this. Here goes nothing.
