Chapter 34

"You rambled and on and on about use not being just friends, I have to talk to my mom when she's ready" I say, camila looked guilty.

"I'm so sorry" she said, I nod

"Yeh" I sigh, she shook her head

"Lauren, please believe me I'm so sorry!" Camila said, I nod

"It's fine, it had to come out sooner or later right?" I say, she sighed

"It should of came out from you though, not a drunken me" Camila said, I kiss her forehead

"Watch sponge Bob Camz" I say, she sighed and cuddled up to me and watched the tv.

After a while mom came down and started to cook breakfast, camila and I were still cuddled up on the couch watching tv.

Mom kept glancing over at us, she did catch us kissing a few times. I mean, it's out now right, Camz told my family that we are more than friends, I might as well embrace that.

"Breakfast!" Mom called, I get up with camila and go to the table, and sit down with my family.

Camila goes to eat but I grab her hand, Taylor grabbing the other.

"Let's pray, Mike would you like to start us off?" Mom asked, he nods and camila looks at me wide eyed.

"Your religious?" She whispers

"Sh" I shush her, my dad starts talking

"You can eat now" I say to camila when we all let go of each other's hands

We all talk and camila stayed quiet most of the time, I would ask her if she's okay and she would nod.

"Remember church on Sunday, I know you haven't been going while your father and I were not around, it's okay as long as you were praying before food and before bed, also reading your bible" mom said, we nod.

"We have" Chris said, they all look at me and I nod

"Yeh, we have" I say, mom looks at camila

"I Uh, I'm not religious" Camila said, mom nods

"Okay" is all my mom said, I glance at camila and she seemed really nervous

After dinner I do the dishes, camila pulls me away from everyone.

"Your family is this religious?" She whispers, I nod

"Yeh" I mumble

"Why did you never tell me?" She asked, i shrug

"It's not important" I mumble, she sighed

"Lauren, are they going to try and beat me with a bible to get my gay out?" She asked, i frown.

"No!" I say, she sighed

"It's fine, just let me talk to my mom, she's giving me the look" I say, camila looks and nods.

I go to my mom and she smiles softly I smile back.

"Are you happy?" Mom asked, I nod

"Of course I am, you and dad are home" I say, she nods

"I meant with her" mom said, I look at camila who was talking to Chris and nod

"Very" I say looking back to mom

"That's all I need" she said, I smile

"So, is she your girlfriend?" Mom asked, I smile wider

"Well, no, it's complicated" I say, mom nods

"Friends with Benefits?" Mom asked, I go wide eyed

"Uh no! We just haven't had it official and I haven't done anything like that" I say, mom nods.

"Sweetheart as long and you're happy, I don't care if you're with a boy or girl, I don't care if you've had sex before marriage or not, I just want you to be happy. Yes your father and I were brought up in strict religious house holds, we followed every rule and I know how horrible that is, everyone is different and I'm not going to force you to be someone you're not" mom said, I smile wide hugging her and she hugs me back.

I go to camila and she smiles

"Hugging is a good thing" she said, I nod

"She's okay with it" I say, camila smiles wide and nods

"Good, not that I was doubting her...she seemed very religious" Camila said, I Laugh

"Shut up" I say, she nods and we sit in the room

All day my family got to know camila and camila got to know them, I soon dropped her off home and went to bed.
