"Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh but she burns
Like rum on a fire
Hot and fast and angry
As she can be
I walk my days on a wire" Lauren's voice echoed through the car as she sang along to one of the songs on her phone
After not managing to agree on what to listen they put Lauren's phone on shuffle and Cherry Wine by Hozier was the first song to play
"It looks ugly, but it's clean
Oh mamma, don't fuss over me"
"I like your voice." Camila said just above the whisper, not wanting to interrupt Lauren who was enjoying the song
The older girl sent her a shy smile and continued singing.
"The way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine
Calls of guilty thrown at me
All while she stains
The sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother"
For some reason Camila couldn't help but ask herself if this song has a deeper meaning to Lauren because although Lauren is usually passionate about her music this is way too much for just random song.
"But I want it, it's a crime
That she's not around most of the time
Way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine"
"Do you wanna talk?" Lauren suddenly asked
"What?"
"Do you wanna talk?"
"What do you mean?"
"When I just got here, you wanted to talk. Do you still want to talk?"
"Now?"
Lauren shrugged. "Well we've got about half an hour to get to the bookstore you saw on TripAdvisor, and after last night..."
Camila gulped loudly and nodded her head.
"Last night..." Camila trailed off
"What about it?"
"Would you kiss me if they didn't come?"
For a few moments Lauren didn't reply, her eyes still focused on the road in front of her.
"Depends." She said after what felt like forever
"On?"
"Would you kiss me back?"
"I think, even years from now, no matter how hard my heart got broken by you, or how much we hurt each other, I'll always want to kiss you. Even when I shouldn't."
"Yeah, you shouldn't." Lauren mumbled
"Probably, yeah." Camila agreed "Did you ever regret it?"
