Intertwined

Chapter 10

Lauren's POV

As we walk back to our cars, Camila grabs my hand and holds it in hers. The whole walk back was silent but there was happiness radiating from both of us. We reach the parking lot and Camila turns to me and pecks my lips before walking over to her car. I walk to mine which is off in the distance on the other side of the parking lot. Camila pulls out of her parking space and honks at me. I look back at her and she waves her hand at me telling me to get in. So I do. She drives across the parking lot and drops me off by my car.

Camila drove in front of me the whole way home. When both our cars parked in the driveway, all the girls burst out the front door and run to our cars. "HOW WAS IT?!" Dinah yells right in my ear. I simply smiled widely and nodded. Camila comes over to me with Ally and Normani trailing behind her. She wraps her arm around my waist and points to the necklace that was around my neck. The girls gasped over-dramatically and started to jump up and down squealing. "Camila, you really did well on this. Your guys' relationship is the definition of relationship goals." Normani says with a huge smile on her face. I chuckle lightly at their weirdness. I untangle Camila's arm from around my waist and make my way inside and upstairs to my bathroom. I really gotta pee.

When I finished doing my business and washed my hands, I made my way out into my room. I grabbed a hair band and put it on to keep my hair out of my eyes. Walking out into the hallway, I can hear the laughter in the living room, which instantly makes me smile.

In the living room, Dinah is laying on the floor, Normani and Ally are on the couch, and Camila is sitting on the recliner. They are all on their phones reading funny tweets from their timelines. I sit down on the ground near the corner with my back against the wall. I pull my knees up to my chest and log into twitter on my phone. As I scroll, some tweets catch my attention.

@CamilaCabello97: I love you so much. Words cannot describe how you make me feel.

@DinahJane97: Holy crap Mila! Nice job!

@NormaniKordei: Cuties they are

@AllyBrooke: Young love

I instantly smile all these indirect tweets. I quickly tweet something that isn't too suspicious.

@LaurenJauregui: Good job Camz. That special person is lucky to have such a kind, funny, wise, and absolutely amazing person caring for them.

The girls all get a notification that I've tweeted and instantly all of them turn to me with huge smiles on their faces. I smile back at them and then focus my eyes on Camila's big, brown ones. She was already looking at me and her lips are curved up into a smile as well. She gets up and sits next to me, wrapping her arms around my neck and laying her head on my shoulder. My stomach starts doing back-flips with just that simple gesture coming from her.

Later on that night when me and Camz were in my bed, both scrolling through our social media feed, Camila turned onto her side and asked me something that really did stab at my heart. "I really hope that one day you'll be able to trust me fully." Her soft lips placed a small kiss on my cheek and then turned back onto her back and continued scrolling. It really did hit me hard that she didn't think I would ever trust her completely. When I am ready, I will let her in completely. There is still that part of me that wants to wait a little longer so that I know that this relationship is real for both of us. I don't want this to end because we realize that it was just a phase. I want us to see that this is real and we really do have feelings for one another. Just a little longer...
