Lauren awoke the next morning to find Camila still asleep. She giggled softly, realizing that the smaller girl had snaked her arms up the sleeves of Lauren's hoodie to keep her hands warm. The events of the night before played in her head like a movie scene and she couldn't help the smile that spread across her face.

"Camz," she whispered, nudging the smaller girl softly. "Camz, I have to get up," she giggled, looking over at the clock and remembering she had class that morning.

"Hmmm," the smaller girl hummed, fluttering her eyes open and smiling widely the moment she saw Lauren next to her. "Hi," she beamed.

"Morning," Lauren laughed, sliding out from underneath of the girl and sitting up.

"I have class today," Lauren said, walking over to her closet and digging through her clothes. "Which means you get to stay home with Ally until I'm back, okay?"

Camila nodded softly. She'd been getting better at realizing that Lauren does, in fact, come back home when she leaves in the mornings. That didn't mean she liked it, though.

Lauren slipped into the bathroom and changed into a comfortable outfit for class, wearing an old t-shirt because she knew they'd be painting that day. Camila waited patiently outside the door and smiled like an idiot when Lauren re-emerged.

"Someone's in a good mood," Lauren giggled. Camila just nodded.

"Yes, I kissed you," she chimed, reminding Lauren of the night before.

Lauren's cheeks grew red. "That you did," she laughed and ran a hand through her hair. "You can always do it again, y'know," she raised an eyebrow. Camila's face lit up, as if she hadn't even considered the idea.

"Okay," she nodded once. Without another word, Camila grabbed Lauren's face gently and planted kisses all over her face, finally pecking her lips once before taking a step back and smiling widely. Lauren's face was blood red by the time she was done. "Your turn," Camila smiled.

"My turn?" Lauren smirked. Camila just nodded, and Lauren pulled Camila closer to her. The smaller girl giggled excitedly, which made Lauren's stomach flutter. She placed one hand on the back of Camila's neck and closed the gap between them, slowly bringing their lips together.

This kiss lasted longer than their ones they'd shared before, if only by a few seconds. Kissing Camila was different than anyone else Lauren had ever kissed. The smaller girl was soft and gentle, and it made Lauren's heart skip a beat. They pulled apart and minutes later were interrupted by the flash of a camera.

"What the...?" Lauren whipped her head around, spotting Ally peering out of her doorway. "Oh my god," Lauren's cheeks grew red and she covered her face. Camila giggled.

"Normani and Dinah are never going to believe this," Ally smirked, walking over to them and tucking her phone into her pocket. Camila clapped her hands excitedly. "C'mon Laur, it's cute," Ally laughed and nudged her roommate. Lauren took her hands away from her face and scowled at the older girl, but couldn't hold back her smile.

"I hate to interfere, but you're gonna be late for class if you don't hurry your ass up," Ally pointed to the clock and Lauren cursed under her breath. All three girls ended up downstairs, and Camila wandered into the kitchen.

"So you two..." Ally smirked once she and Lauren were alone. "How'd that come about?"

Lauren shrugged, grabbing her bag from the couch. "She kissed me and it just sorta happened," she bit her lip to hide her smile when Ally clapped her hands happily. Just then, Camila padded back into the room and handed Lauren a banana.
