Think Again (Camren)

Plum Crazy Purple

"What exactly are you going to make?" Lauren teased me as we peeked through the window.

I shrugged and laced my fingers with her as we continued to window shop. We had four more hours to kill before I had to be back at the Rec Centre to play another game and we were tired of looking through the mall that shouldn't have been called a mall in the first place.

Seven stores in a building should not be considered a mall.

"I'm hungry." Lauren patted her stomach and we made our way back to her vehicle. She opened the door for me and kissed me lightly on the cheek.

Aww, she was so sweet.

We drove around the place a little bit before we pulled over by a Subway. "Eat fresh?" I waggled my eyebrows and she chuckled, turning off the engine.

"Wow, nice fucking car." I watched a light brunette approach Lauren as she admired the mustang.

"Thanks," Lauren smiled and looked over at me, winking.

"Blood red interior?" The female chuckled, "that's hot."

"I thought so too," I interjected and looped my arm through Lauren's.

The blue eyed woman grinned and turned to look across the street. "That's my baby right there," she pointed to a plum crazy purple '71 Dodge Charger, "her name is Jazz."

"You named your car?" I smirked.

"Did." The woman grinned and eyed up the mustang again.

Lauren eyed up the Charger across the street. "Did you want to go see it Lauren?" I whispered in her ear.

"Can I?" She asked in a child like manner.

"Sure, but no touching! Break it, you bought it." I smirked as she took off across the empty street. I watched as she looked through the window carefully, her dark emerald green eyes lighting up at the original parts inside. "Sometimes I think she could be a guy," I murmured.

"Hmm," the woman startled me, I forgot she was there still, "that's what my wife says to me all the time."

Wife?

My gaydar must not have been on.

"Camila!" Lauren shrieked happily and I made my way towards her, laughing at the way she was bouncing. "This is one sweet ass classic car!"

I nodded. "I know this baby."

"Everything in this thing is original. Not one thing is new. It's fucking awesome!" Lauren grinned and eyed up the inside again.

"It is." I agreed and humoured her by looking in the vehicle next to her. I heard her stomach rumble and patted her belly softly. "We should get you fed before you waste away on me."

"Yea," Lauren sighed and reluctantly allowed me to pull her away from the car. "Do you know anywhere good to eat?" She asked the owner of the vehicle she was practically feeling up.

"Sure," the woman smiled. She couldn't have been any older than twenty four. "Rapture has the most amazing deli sandwiches. Way better than Subway." She smirked. "I'm actually heading there too, I'll walk with you."

Lauren and I held hands as we walked along with the woman, who at that point still remained nameless. We found ourselves walking into a large building surrounded by books wall to wall on one whole side with a seating area set up so you could sit and read. "Wow," I breathed and looked at all the crazy graffiti on the walls before noticing there was a little restaurant side as well. "Cool place."

"Very." Lauren and I found a table and looked up at the lunch special. "Poutine?"

"Poutine." I grinned and licked my lips.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" The woman smiled at us and when she noticed our raised eyebrows, she laughed. "My name's Ephiny, we own the place."

"Oh," Lauren smiled and looked at me, "Two Dr. Peppers?"

"Sure thing," Ephiny walked towards the back of the place and took off her coat before I watched a small brunette bombard her with hugs.

"Hey, isn't that your kid?" I snickered and pointed towards them as Lauren laughed, noticing the small girl from the Rec Centre earlier that morning.

The little girl started walking towards our table with two cans of Dr. Pepper in her arms. She grinned sheepishly as she placed them carefully on our table. I notice her blink when she looked at Lauren. "Laurwn?"

"You two have met?" Ephiny walked up to us and handed some napkins and utensils.

"This morning at the Rec Centre," Lauren smiled at the little girl, who played with her own fingers shyly, "what did you buy your Mommy for breakfast?"

"Mama cookeded for hewr," Jaiden grinned shyly and her blue eyes looked at me, "who is you?"

"Camila," I smiled and my heart swelled at the picture of Lauren getting along with a child so well. Too soon to look at that sort of thing for us, but it was good to know she was great at holding a conversation with a little girl.

"Camwila." Jaiden mimicked me before taking off behind the counter.

"Is the poutine good here?" I asked the tall brunette.

"Excellent and cheesiest, Chase, my wife, won't have it any other way." Ephiny laughed.

"We'll get two poutine's." Lauren smiled and folded her hands in front of her. Once the woman walked off she leaned in and kissed me quickly. "She's gay."

"And married."

"And with a child."

"And you're taken." I gave Lauren a cute grin.

"And in love." She sighed wistfully, taking my hands in hers and rubbed her thumbs in circles against the back of them.

"Yea," I whispered and smiled softly, "me too."

Boy, was I ever.
