After (Camren)

Chapter 67

Lauren ended up staying the night in my room last night after Tristan and Lucy left to go to his apartment. The rest of the night was spent talking and kissing before Lauren finally fell asleep with her head on my lap. I dreamt of a time and place where we could actually live together. I would love to wake up every morning to find Lauren next to me, but it's not realistic. I am too young.

Monday morning is now here and my alarm was set ten minutes late, throwing my whole morning off. After I shower and do my makeup quickly I wake Lauren before plugging in my blow dryer.

"What time is it?" She groans.

"It's six thirty, I have to blow dry my hair." 

"Six thirty? You don't have to be there until nine, come back to bed." 

"No, I still have to do my hair and get coffee. I have to leave here by seven thirty, the drive is forty-five minutes." I remind her. 

"You will be there forty-five minutes early, you should leave at eight." She closes her eyes and rolls back over. 

I ignore her and turn on my blow dryer, she takes a pillow and covers her head with it. After curling my hair, I go over my planner again to make sure I didn't miss anything.

"Are you going to just go to class from here?" I ask her as I get dressed.

"Yea probably. Can I use your toothbrush?" She smiles and gets out of bed.

"Uh, I guess. I can just buy a new one on my way back." I tell her. No one has ever asked to use my toothbrush before. I mentally picture myself putting it in my mouth after she uses it. "Yea, you can." I reiterate. I can't help but notice that her eyes travel up and down my body.

"I still say you shouldn't leave until eight, think of the things we could do in thirty minutes." She smirks. My eyes travel to her breasts and my body immediately heats. My fingers stop on the middle button of my shirt as she lazily crosses the small room to stand behind me. I gesture for her to zip my skirt, her hands brush my bare skin before she slowly zips my skirt up and I tuck my shirt into it.

"I have to, I still have to get some coffee. What if there is traffic? An accident? I could blow a tire or need gas? I could get lost, or not be able to find somewhere to park. What if I have to park in the very back and then I have to walk a long way and I will be out of breath, so I will need a few minutes to.."

"You need to calm down baby. You're a nervous wreck." She breathes in my ear. I look at her in the mirror. She looks so perfect when she wakes up, her sleepiness making her look softer.

"I can't help it, this internship means so much to me. I can't take the chance of messing it up." My mind is racing. I will be fine after today, after I know what to expect and I can plan my week in accordance.

"You don't want to show up there nervous like this, they will eat you alive." She places a string of small kisses down my neck. 

"I will be fine." I hope. Goosebumps cover my skin from her warm breath against my neck.

"Let me relax you first." Her voice is low and seductive, laced with sleep.

"I.." She trails her fingers over my collarbone and down to my chest. Her eyes meet mine in the mirror and I sigh in defeat. "Five minutes?" I ask and beg at the same time.

"That's all I need." I move to turn around but she stops me.

"No, I want you to watch." She purrs in my ear. I feel the familiar ache between my legs from her words. I gulp and she moves my hair over my left shoulder and pushes her body against mine. Her hand travels down to the hem of my long skirt.
