*// &. ┋FIGURE MY HEART OUT ! ❞

“Yes, bow down to me.” Lauren snickered then shook her head once more at her foolish behavior. After taking a sip of her creation, she licked her lips to wipe away any cream that had might’ve attached.  She listened in on Camila’s words while her heart hammered roughly against her chest. “–aw... baby…” Her smile dropped down to a dramatic pout, handing her the hot chocolate before climbing back on the bed to slump over her girlfriend. “..you’re makin’ be blush dammit…”

“Promise to keep making me that hot chocolate and I might.” Camila said jokingly, chuckling as the girl licked her lips to clean them from cream. Her smile grew wider as Lauren slumped over her. “Me? Making the Lauren Jauregui blush? I’m feeling achieved.”

Lauren shook her head with a single hum in response, eyeing the small girl intently to see how she reacted to the drink. Her lips parted into a wide grin before lightly clapping her hands together. “Yay. Call me chef Jauregui.” She said with a wink towards the other. Wrapping her hands around the cup, she brought it to her mouth to take a tiny sip of the steaming liquid. “Mmm.. wow.” 

Camila giggled as the other winked at her. “Alright, chef Jauregui, the master of hot chocolate.” she said with another chuckle, watching the girl as she took a sip of the drink. She smiled, looking down at her hands, another giggle escaping her lips. “Best day ever. I get the best hot chocolate in the world and the most beautiful girlfriend in the universe.”

“It’s called Mike and Dave need Wedding Dates and you definitely see it. Thank you!”

“Cool name, guessing it’s a comedy? I’ll check out the trailer when I get to my place, if there’s one already?”

Right, she released a video album, no? I can’t say I’ve ever really listened to her - being honest here. I know a few songs through the radio, but I’m more at home in the rock/alternative part of the music scene, cue me not particularly being a fan of her. I do support her fierce and fearless attitude towards social issues though, she’s a great advocate for various important causes.  Haha, yeah, though I think walking could be a bit of a hassle, the studios are outside of the town, and I don’t think there’s a sidewalk.

She did, and to be honest, even if you don’t listen to her normally, her last album is genius. Everyone gotta check it out. You really won’t be disappointed. Okay, got a point there, but technically you could walk because it’s not too far, so it’s technically very cool. A short drive to work is cool too, though.

As she entered the kitchen, she hummed out a random melody with a dorky smile uncontrollably plastered from cheek to cheek. She poured the chocolate packet into a mug of warm milk then stirred the contents carefully while reaching for the whip cream can to plaster some over the hot liquid to finish it off. Walking back to the room, she delicately held out the cup for Camila with a lip bite over her cheeky smile. “Tada…”

Camila smiled widely as her girlfriend came back into view, sitting up and taking the cup from the other carefully. “Thank you.” She said, tilting her head up to place a kiss on Lauren’s cheek. She took a sip of the hot drink, a smile growing on her lips. “It’s great.” She said with a giggle, taking another sip before offering the cup back to the girl. “Have some too.”

Thank you very much! I sure hope so. I really think this could be good – it’s all super new and really different from anything I’ve ever done before. Don’t think I’ll do it again, but it’s definitely an experience.

Sounds like a very exciting experience too. I’m sure you’ll be amazing, try not to worry, positive thinking is important.

“And I want to give you hot chocolate.” She responded rather quickly, turning her head to kiss her girlfriend on the cheek before hopping off the bed. “Whether you like it or not.” Lauren laced her words with a tiny hint of sass while walking out of the room.

“Alright, if you insist.” She giggled as Lauren kissed her cheek, watching the girl walking of the room. She instantly missed the other’s body next to hers, but knew that her girlfriend would be back soon. A smile curved on her lips as she stared at the cieling, waiting for the other.

“You’re welcome.” She answered gingerly. Lauren watched her girlfriend play with her fingers - causing her to beam a little. Her mood seemed to raise a ton after the pain in her back decreased but as soon as the massage crossed her mind again, she faintly gasped again. “Oops. I forgot. I still have to make you hot chocolate.”

Camila raised her head to look at the other as she gasped, chuckling a little at the other’s words. “You don’t have to, it’s okay, I wanted to give you a massage.” 

“It’s finally good to be back here after all the promoting and honestly, can’t wait for you guys to see the movie. But before that, did you miss me? I hope you did.”

“I’m not even sure what movie you’re talking about and I already can’t wait see it. Welcome back!”

Since the media is sure that I am apparently dating a Laker, does that mean I get free tickets to every game? Because that would sure be cool!

On another note, Rome might be one of the prettiest cities on earth, but I am so tired I just want to sleep..and eat good Italian food. Why does work have to be included? 

Always try to get something out of anything. Free tickets out of dating rumors sure are cool. 

“Fineee….” Lauren groaned, slumping her body down in disappointment. She brought her hand down from the other’s hair and rested it limp on Camila’s stomach. “Only because I’m nice.”

“Thank you.” Camila giggled, feeling a bit relieved, since any suggestive topic made her nervous, especially while she was around Lauren. She took Lauren’s hand that was placed on her stomach and played with her fingers mindlessly.

The taller one reached up to drench her fingers between the girl’s brown locks to massage them in a comforting gesture. Her head shook from side to side before whining back, “I don’t wanna stop..”

Camila slightly relaxed at the feeling of the girl’s fingers in her hair, playing with the cloth of the other’s shirt with her fingers. “Stop anyway.” She muttered in return.

Lauren snickered lightly at the girl’s outpour of embarrassment - only wanting to cause more damage for fun. “Oh.. that? Yeah…” She played it off as if it was just a silly joke which she saw it as. “I was only speaking the truth. You liked that..”

Camila only buried her face further into the other’s shoulder to hide her flushed features. She could tell that Lauren was just going to keep teasing her, more heat rushing to her cheeks. “Stop..” She whined.

The corner of her lips curled once more at the other’s contagious one. “Right right..” Her tone was filled with sarcasm, nodding as she spoke. “Doesn’t explain why your face has gone awfully red..” She replaced her sarcastic tone with a teasing one while giving off the most innocent face ever.

Camila shrugged again at the teasing tone in Lauren’s voice, before burying her flushed face in the other’s shoulder, somewhat attempting to avoid replying. “You know what you said.” She mumbled into the girl’s shoulder.

It’s just another dimension to deliver a message in a song, and a very beautiful one also if done right. I wish everyone would just make music videos for every song on an album, because it’s just amazing to see how different people interpret a song, especially the artists themselves. Some people make proper short films of it – see Lady Gaga, who made mind-blowing videos for her songs.  It’s definitely fun, and the fact that I can get from my flat to the studio in less than 15 minutes is a plus, too - not used to that, haha.

That’s right, I think music videos can be really important. I wish everyone could afford to make a video for every song, but for now I’m more than satisfied with Beyonce, especially because she’s done it so well. Seriously, everyone needs to watch Lemonade. Lady Gaga definitely has some amazing videos that I love. That’s so cool, you don’t have to live in a hotel while you film it. Hell, you can even walk there.

“Oh– oh.. I’m sorry I frightened you babe..” Lauren murmured with a kiss to Camila’s temple with her lips this time. She waited for a reply - but realized she wasn’t going to get anything in response from the redness covering her features. “What? What did I say?” The older one questioned in a pretend oblivion. 

“It’s okay.” Camila murmured in return, a soft smile playing on her lips as the other pressed a kiss to her temple. At Lauren’s question, she attempted to look away, shrugging hesitantly. “.. nothing, I don’t know.”

“It was a tiny one.. Maybe if it was a stronger bite, I would have actually felt a little pain.” She shrugged, “But it’s okay. I’m okay.” Her smile curved in a reassuring one, before chuckling quietly at Camila’s next words. “Hush - you know you liked it.”

“I know, I wasn’t trying to hurt you, but - I don’t know, I was worried.” She kept mumbling with a shrug of her own as she attempted to explain her worry. Camila blushed at Lauren’s next words, her heart beating slightly faster at the slightly suggestive content as she failed in finding a good reply.
