Please be my nightingale (Camren)

Part 32

"Promise."

"Well, I think you already began to develop wrinkly skin in here, it's time

to hop out...I heard your stomach grumble a few minutes ago and thought one of the dragons from the kingdom roared."

"Camz?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you. Thank you for being here. It's seems so easy when you're around. I enjoy having you around."

"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the fact that I just really enjoy being around you too", she answers honestly.

She helps the hurt girl get up and out of the tub before she carefully towels her off, helps her get dressed into her underwear before Camila puts new bandages on and around her torso, after putting some special cream on it. She just winked at Lauren, who didn't even need to ask anymore.

Both girls walk downstairs, into the kitchen. "I do have to admit one thing that could lead to the first crisis," Camila breathes out as she walks around helplessly, trying to fiddle around with something as Lauren watches her from the other side of the kitchen.

"And that would be?"

"As you know, I don't come form here and my parents have all those people that do something for them, so I never really had to do ordinary stuff," she begins to blubber.

"Camila, spit it out..", Lauren pushes her with a smile on her face.

"I can't cook." She looks down. "And I don't want you to do anything in your state", she adds.

Lauren has a hard time to stay serious; "Well, in that case, I think I have some doubts, yes."

She bursts into laughter, the moment she sees Camilas wide eyes.

"Kidding, you doofus.", Lauren adds. "I can cook, but since you know what happened, I'm not even in the mood. Thank god for delivery services!"

"What's that? Do you send a magic request via an owl and then it comes back with FOOD??", Camila asks now completely curious about this world. Even though she's been here before, there are so many things that are still unknown to her.

Lauren snorts as she laughs and has to hold her tummy. "You're so funny." She realizes that she was indeed serious and mentally slaps her face. "Right, you don't know that stuff. Hmm, since you know about a cell phone, you can actually hand me mine and I will call someone, who will bring the food. Pretty similar to your expectation, even though we don't have that cool magic stuff around here. Could get pretty boring, I would assume, if you start to live here."

Camila starts to get how it's going; "So, who will you call?"

"Do you know of/ do you like Pizza?"

Her face brightens up; "PIZZA! I haven't had that round, delicious dough with eyes for such a long time!"

"Dough with eyes?"

"Yes! It had all that cheese, slimy, yellow stuff on it and the red sauce and those round eyes...", she thinks how she can describe it better. "The round meat eyes?", she tries again.

"Oh, you mean pepperoni?"

"Yes, that's what I said the whole time, Laur," she chuckles.

"Pizza should be here in a few"

"Omg, Laur, this is so good! We need to bring that over to the kingdom!"

"No, I don't think so, or obesity will start and your poor people roll down the way up to the castle."

"Then it has to be our special meal to eat", she pressures.

"If that simple thing makes you happy, I'm more than willing to order more."

"So, how come you know about phones and Pizza?", Lauren asks before she takes another bite.

Camila gives her a sign to wait, while she finishes chewing. "I guess, I have to tell you sooner or later", she begins and Lauren gets concerned.

"Years ago, before I was homeschooled, I actually lived in this world for some time. I figured out all the normal stuff that you know about and yeah. I got to know what a phone is and how to use it.."

"How come you went back. Didn't you like it?"

"I did. But.."

"It's ok, if you don't want to talk about it, Camz", Lauren says as she hands Camila a new slice of pizza. They have to get rid of the huge cake.

"I met a girl. We started dating and she noticed that I was not like you. That I was different. I wasn't prepared to her questions about where my parents where. So, I began to tell her, to trust her and she told her friends, who began to make fun of me. They said I was crazy and delusional about everything I believed in. I actually wanted to send a jinx towards them, but I got a scolding message from my mom. She broke my heart. I think it was my first girlfriend, love and moment I realized I liked girls. I don't know which fact I should regret. But ever since I met you, it's not the last. I'm glad I found you. Mom's right, you're different."

Laurens hand squeezes hers. "Thank you for telling me. Since I'm different too, we can be different together. I enjoy hearing about things out of your world. I had such a good time over there. Did you ever take her?"

"Never. She never made me feel comfortable enough."

"So, I was the first one?"

"Yes, and I'd like you to come over more often. You were worth it. The risk of letting you come over, I mean."

"I'm in! I still have so many questions and I want to learn and see so much more."
