Experiments

Chapter 2

(Camila)

"And you had the nerve to call me cheesy," Camila laughed, her cheek still pressed to Lauren's chest.

Lauren simply smiled in response, her fingertips still tracing random patterns on the smaller girl's back as their bodies remained intertwined beneath the sheets of Camila's bed.

"What happened to the music?" Lauren questioned a few minutes later, looking down to search for Camila's eyes through the darkness that filled the room.

Camila shifted her head in its position on Lauren's chest. She could feel her heart pick up pace as their eyes met. Lauren's bright green eyes pierced through the darkness, and their intensity had an undeniable affect on Camila. She wondered if Lauren could feel her heart beating; it was nearly jumping out of her chest.

"What do you mean?" Camila questioned genuinely, resting her chin just above Lauren's exposed breasts.

"Was it just the one song?" Lauren asked, furrowing her eyebrow a bit.

"Yeah, just the one song," Camila smiled. "It's always just the one song."

With this, Camila finally pushed herself up off of the bed, separating their bodies much to the dismay of both girls. Especially to Lauren who let out a pouty grunt as she was now deprived of the warmth Camila had provided her.

Camila picked up her t-shirt from the floor, pulling it over her head quickly as she moved to her desk. She opened her top drawer, revealing a stack of blank CDs in an assortment of colors. She reached for the third one, which was green in color. Seemed like an appropriate choice for the emerald-eyed girl who was now sitting up on Camila's bed, watching her intently.

Camila inserted the blank CD into her laptop, opening it in her iTunes window and dragging "Earned It" by The Weeknd over to it, burning the song to the disc. She tapped her fingers impatiently as she waited for it to process, not fully looking back over to the dark haired girl whose eyes were still burning into her. Out of the corner of her eye she was taking in how beautiful Lauren looked. Her long, messy waves pushed over to one side and cascading down the smooth skin of her chest, her full lips pink and swollen, the marks on her neck which were slowly fading from bright red into a shade of deep purple. Camila jumped a bit when the CD finally ejected itself from her laptop. She popped it back into its case before getting up from the chair that sat at her desk.

"Oh, here," Camila mumbled, reaching for Lauren's bra the sat on the floor as she attempted to avert her eyes from Lauren's still naked form.

"Really?" Lauren teased, laughing lightly. "You do realize you just had your hands all over them," she said, sticking out her bare chest and motioning to herself as if she were some sort of prize on a game show. "Not to mention your mouth," she added, biting her lip, which was formed into a smirk.

Camila shook her head, dropping the girl's bra into her lap as she rejoining her on the bed.

"Sorry," Camila laughed. "I just didn't want to make you uncomfortable. Most girls are dressed and halfway out the door by now. They usually can't stop blushing or even look me in the eye afterwards," she said as she maintained Lauren's intense eye contact.

"I'm not most girls," Lauren winked as she slid the straps of her bra over her shoulders. "I'm perfectly comfortable with being naked. I always have been. It's just a body," she said simply.

"As you should be," Camila nodded. "I wouldn't say it's just a body though, it's a pretty nice one," she added as her eyes trailed down Lauren's still relatively exposed torso.
