Chapter 13: Stay with me

"You are the biggest weirdo of all of them."

"Shut up! Actually, I wanted to tell you something too."

"Spill the tea."

"Babe." She stood up and started caressing my hair. "We can actually have real Christmas together, only if you want to."

"What are you even talking about, Laur?" 

"Look, I actually arranged this before I got here. Now, I finally feel ready to tell you big news."

"Stop being such a tease!"

"Okay, okay. I accounted for college to you. I am trying to say that you can exchange your current college with the one in Nashville. They said they have no problem with it."

"Are you serious or are you just messing around?"

"You want to see the truth? Tomorrow, you are leaving it here, we are going back to Nashville. This time it will be us forever. I bought a new house, just for a couple like us. This can be a new life chapter for us. Are you ready to take this on another level because I just feel it like this, I want to be with you forever. Please, stay with me."

"Lauren, I am speechless." I felt my eyes getting watery.

"Hey, it's okay. Don't cry, I gladly did that just for you."

"It's just that no one even showed this much interest for me. You are truly amazing."

"Stop praising me, you are making me blush. So what's your answer? Please, say yes."

"Yes, yes. Lauren, I would love to." This put such a big smile on my girlfriend's flawless face, seeing her so happy automatically made me smile too. We were just laughing like sense deprived people for a couple of minutes. Life is too short to just cry over something. I just stared at Lauren for a while, still not getting how lucky I got to have her. She noticed me staring.

"It's not nice to stare, you creep."

"It's not staring, it's called admiring art." 

"You are too obsessed with me."

"I really am and I am not ashamed for it." Our eyes met again but I caught Lauren flickering her eyes between my eyes and lips. I decided to lead this time. I gently grabbed her cheeks and kissed her soft lips with all of my passion. We both were smiling so widely throughout it that it got to the point of grin, well, showing our teeth. She grabbed a mouthful of my hair, to deepen the already heated kiss and took the power over me. We were just kissing for good 5 minutes.

"I love you." Lauren pulled away with these words.

"I don't like parrots. You have been repeating this phrase for like 3857 times already. Just kidding, I love you too."

"You better not start something again, rather go to your bathroom and prepare for sleeping. We have to sleep if we want to be fresh tomorrow, there is a long flight ahead of us." She slapped my butt, making me gasp. I turned around to just see her smirking. When I came back, I saw Lauren waiting on me with her arms wide open. I think that I got the message, so I just threw myself into her arms.

"I will never let you go, understand?" She said, hugging me tightly. 

"But Laur, I need to breathe. You have to let me go, if you want me to be alive."

"Smh, I can't even hug my own girlfriend and cuddle with her. This is so unfair. I am a protector, I need to protect you, I need to make you feel safe."

"Well, we can't always get what we want."

"But I already got you and that's everything I ever wanted."

"'Cause I got you, whoa whoa. I got you, whoa whoa. When we got nothing left to lose, baby, you got me and I got you." I started singing her song, not caring about that I can't sing. For her I am willing to do anything.

"Literally just shut up."

"I know that I am not a singer, I am sorry for hurting your poor ears."

"No, it really wasn't that bad. It makes me even happier that you support my career. You are the most amazing person I could ever ask for. Please, never break my heart."

"That's the last thing I would do. You are just too good to be dumped, Laur."

"So no more boys?"

"No more trashy boys."

"Just Lauren and Jasmine, forever." I watched Lauren slowly drifting into sleep, so I just wrapped my arms around her waist from behind before I felt myself falling asleep as well. I love this girl way too much, it's unhealthy...I totally got under her spell and I can't wait to love her til the day I die...
