Why Did I Get Married; Part One ☾☀︎ Camren

Part Twenty Eight: Date #1 - You're Perfection

"Everyone likes your girlfriend more than you, Maggikins," Ariana said as she placed a chaste kiss on her girlfriend's lips. "I'll like to think that you like me more as well."

Before the new couple could get even more cheesier than they already were, Camila and Lauren bid their daughter farewell and promised to be home in a couple hours. It's not that the child was going to miss her parents, because she was going to be distracted. A sleepover with two of her favourite people? What more could a child want?

"You're taking me to an art gallery?" Lauren asked in awe as she stepped out of her wife's car. "Just when I thought going on a date with the most beautiful woman to ever walk this earth couldn't get any better, it just did. " She smiled brightly at her wife. Camila shut and locked her car, as she sidled up to Lauren, slipping her arm into her wife's.

"Tonight is all about you, babe," Camila kissed her wife's cheek. "I just wanted to do something that I know that you're going to like."

Most of us know what love is and we know what it feels like to be in love. What some of us don't know is what being in love feels like. To be loved by someone, and to know just how scared they are to lose us to someone else, just as you are to lose them.

You're probably wondering, 'Will I ever experience this?' And truth be told, I am no psychic, but I believe that there's someone out there for all of us. You probably have not met the person yet, but you will one day.

Wait for it.

As they entered the gallery, Lauren's eyes were bright with excitement. She hadn't been there before. It was definitely high end, and the pieces were absolutely incredible. Lauren began explaining some of the pieces to her wife, who was hanging on to every word that she was saying. It wasn't exactly a place Camila would go to, as she used to wonder why someone would spend so much of money on paint splattered on a canvas, but who was she to judge?

Camila and Lauren were walking around, examining all the various art pieces. Camila couldn't help but feel extremely happy about being there. The glimmer in Lauren's eyes was enough to make her heart soar. Who would've thought that after all these years, they would've still been together? Married with a child and the both of them being successful with thriving careers.

See, the thing about Camila and Lauren, despite there ups and downs, they still made it. You all would probably be shocked to know, that they did break up once many years ago, for a little over a month.

Forty five days to be exact.

Forty five excruciating days for the both of them.

It was over something so trivial; Lauren's insecurities had always been a thorn in the site of their relationship, but Camila's hotheadedness and belief that all good things in her life always leave, was one of the reason why they broke up.

They experienced a heartbreak that neither of them thought they were ever going to recover from or would work pass.

Heartbreak isn't just about missing someone. It's that feeling you get in your chest that makes you want to tear your heart out with your bare hands, hoping to stop your whole being from hurting.

It feels like your chest is being crushed and all you can do is stare up at the ceiling and think that you did this to yourself.

The worst part about a heartbreak is where the shock wears off, and you realise that you no longer have the person who you're in love with. You try to hold everything back, but the pain is no longer under your control.
