Camila has been staring at her phone for only god knows how long. She kept hoping that Lauren would call her or text her, anything at all. It's been three days since they last talked. There has been countless of times when Camila feels like calling her up, but she stopped as her thumb touched the call button.
She can't take it anymore. She might die if she didn't meet Lauren for even one more minute. Camila quickly stood up and changed into her nicest outfit, a pink shirt that Lauren bought for her. After satisfied with her looks, she head out of the house towards her one and only soulmate.

"I need more staffs. The office is so messed up right now." Lauren said to her aunt, Joanna.
Joanna looked at her slightly stressed niece.
"You got two girls..whatever their names are.."
"Vanessa and Ally." Lauren said, pissed.
"Camila was a great designer. Too bad she quit." Joanna said.
Lauren looked at Joanna upon hearing her Camila's name being mentioned.
"Your lesbian girlfriend." She added, smirking.
Lauren bit her lip, suppressing her anger. Joanna's tone was clearly insulting.
"Are you serious about being gay? It's not too late to..
"I was talking about the staffs." Lauren said, serious.
Joanna scoffed.
"Don't worry about that, I'll assign a new staff to your office soon."
"Really?"
Joanna nodded.
"Be nice to her."

"Let's go take a look at your new house!" Vanessa said as she trying to drag Lauren to the car.
"I feel like selling the house now.." Lauren said, weak.
Vanessa stared at her boss, didn't know what to do.
"Oh come on! Let's go!" Vanessa dragged her anyway.
Vanessa drive her car towards a house that Lauren recently bought for her and Camila. Lauren kept looking out the window.
"Am I too controlling?" she suddenly asked.
Vanessa glanced at her emotional looking friend.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Camila said that I'm acting like a guy in our relationship..and that I'm controlling her life."
Vanessa let out a small laugh.
"You ARE the guy in your relationship."
Lauren smiled and shrugged.
"That's what you see from the outside..but in bed, Camila..
"I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT LAUREN!" Vanessa shouted.
Lauren laughed.
"I'm just teasing you."
Vanessa sighed in relief.
"Maybe you are."
Lauren raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Controlling."
"What to do?"
Lauren sighed.
"I love her too much."
Vanessa smiled.
"You're lucky she loves you a whole lot too."

"This house.." Vanessa paused. She stared at the pink house in front of her.
"Do you think she'll like it?"
Vanessa stared at Lauren, her eyes wide. "Like it? I think she'll marry you straight away!"
Lauren chuckled. "Really?"
The house is amazing. There's also a nice and huge garden.
"Hey, isn't that Normani's house?" Lauren asked, pointing at the house beside hers.
Vanessa shook her head.
"You bought the house without knowing that's Normani's and Dinah's house?"
"I..don't really care..about those stuffs.."
Silence fell between them.
"Hey, Lauren . I'm sorry. Forgive me."
"Why are you apologizing?"
"Just forgive me."
"Why? You did something stupid Nessa?!"
Vanessa took a few steps backward, smiling.
"Where are you going?"
Lauren turned around and Vanessa ran towards Normani's house.
"That giant is so weird." Suddenly, a pair of hands slid on Lauren's waist.
She's shocked by the sudden hug, but then she smiled. The scent and the touch, just gives away who the person is.
"Camz.." Lauren turned around and again surprised by the sudden kiss. She smiled and gently stroke Camila's hair as they continue to kiss.
"Missed me?" Lauren asked after they broke the kiss.
"I almost died without you." Camila replied, shyly as she buries her face in the crook of Lauren's neck, gently kissing it. Lauren slightly blushed.
"I thought you don't need this controlling freak.."
Camila gently hit Lauren's arm. "Stop it."
"Honey..about working..you can do anything you want." Lauren said, looking down.
"Let's not talk about that now." Camila said, gently caressing Lauren's cheeks.
They both smiled. Whatever fight they had simply forgotten.
"Er..so, I guess Vanessa brought you here?"
"I whined at her and drove her crazy. She finally gave up. Don't be mad at her." Camila said as she stares into Lauren's eyes.
"I planned to beat her up..but I won't. Since you asked me like this.." Lauren sighed.
"I would marry you in a heartbeat for this house." Camila said, eyes on the pink house.
Lauren stared at her girlfriend. "Really?"
"Well..Metaphorically.." Camila said, stuttering, avoiding Lauren's gaze.
Lauren chuckled and intertwined her hands with Camila.
"Let's just take one step at a time, honey."
Camila smiled and nodded.
"You don't have to spend so much for a house.."
"It's not just any house, it's our house."
Camila blushed at the word 'our'.
"Napkin's & Blankie's House." Lauren added.
Camila smile became even wider, her cheeks turned pink.
"We can do whatever we want.."
Lauren giggled.
"Wherever we want.."
"Pervert.." Camila said, gently slapping Laurne's arm.
"You love this pervert." Lauren said, pointing at herself.
Camila wrapped her arms around Lauren's neck and put their foreheads together.
"I love this controlling pervert a little too much."
**
Lauren and Camila walked around their new house, hands glued to each other.
"I love the garden!"
"I love the living room!"
"I love the bathroom!"
Lauren smiled at her girlfriend's hyper nature. She's really happy that Camila liked the house.
"Where's my room?" Camila suddenly asked.
Lauren smiled and winked. "You mean OUR room?"
Camila's cheeks quickly turned pink, she looked down.
"Yeah, our room."
"Come here." Lauren said as she pulled her upstairs.
Camila was pleasantly surprised at the sight in front of her. The room is so huge and so pink.
She blushed again as she saw the bed.
"You like it?" Lauren asked as she fixes Camila's bangs.
"You..
Camila paused.
..you've done so much for me, Lolo."
Camila can feel her eyes are getting teary.
"Thank you."
Lauren stared at her girlfriend. She wipes the tears with her fingers.
"You've done a lot more for me."
Camila look at her girlfriend, confused.
"I did nothing.."
Lauren shook her head. "No."
"You..complete me."
**
"Wow, I even like the kitchen!" Camila said as she enters the cooking area.
"I don't know when will we use this stove and oven..we're both sucks at cooking." Lauren said before sitting on one of the chair.
Camila walked towards her girlfriend and sits on her lap.
"Kitchen is not only for cooking." She said coyly, both hands on Lauren's neck.
Lauren stared at her blankly for a few seconds before finally chuckled.
"You are so naughty."
Camila giggled as she began kissing her girlfriend lips while one hand already making its way under Lauren's shirt.
"Ah..Camz..
"Hey there neighbor!" a voice shouted from outside the window.
They both startled and pushed each other away, Camila fell on the floor. Blushing Lauren quickly fixes her shirt and hair while Camila looked at the window.
Normani and Dinah are waving at them from outside the window.
Lauren sighed.
Oh great, neighbors..
**
"Your house is so..pink."
Dina's eyes traveled around the house as she sits on the white couch in the living room.
Camila chuckled. "I like pink."
"Are you moving here because you want to be near us?" Normani asked, smiling.
"No. I have no idea it's next to your house." Lauren replied, flat.
Camila nudged her girlfriend, reminding her to be friendlier.
"I'm so happy that we're neighbours, Mani!" Camila shrieked.
"Me too!" Normani reached forward to hold Camila's hand.
"Too bad I won't be home much." she added.
Dinah gently brushed Normani's hair that's on her face.
"She'll be busy with her new cafe."
Lauren stared at Dinah.
"What you do for a living, Dinah?"
Dinah smiled at the sudden question.
"I'm a singer."
"Not just a singer, but she also owns a studio." Normani added proudly.
Camila stared at Dinah, amazed.
"Wow..you really became a singer." she said.
"I'm surprised you're not. What happened?" Dinah said.
Camila smiled weakly. "I..don't sing anymore."
"Camila has an amazing voice, I still remembered when we were kids, and she won this singing competition at our school." Dinah said, looking at Lauren.
Camila looked down, embarrassed. "That was a long time ago."
Lauren stared at her girlfriend, surprised at her childhood secrets.
"I never heard you sing." she said, slowly. Camila still looked down.
"You should really start singing again, now that you're not doing anything." Normani suddenly said.
"I..don't think so.." Camila said.
"I know! Why don't you let her sing at your restaurant, honey?" Normani said to Dinah.
"Eh?"
Camila stared at the excited newlyweds, puzzled.
"But..
"I think that's great." Lauren cuts in.
Camila stared at her girlfriend.
"What?"
"You should sing again. I mean..if you want to..
She paused.
..but it's okay if you don't want to..I'm not going to..make you do something you don't want..just because..I want you to." Lauren said, stuttering. She's trying to be less controlling in her own way.
Camila chuckled.
"Cute." she pinched Lauren's right cheek gently.
"Aww..you two are so sweet." Normani said, clinging to her wife.
Dinah smiled. But her smile slowly fades.
There's something about that sight that bothers her.
