Back to You

chapter ten

"Hey you guys want anything from the bar?" Cindy asked her friends, "I'm going to get a glass of water."

Her friends shook their heads and continued to lounge around the pool.

"Can I have a glass of water please?" She smiled at the waiter.

"Cindy," Nailea walked up to her.

"Hey? Do you want a drink?" She asked.

"No, I wanted to talk to you..." Nailea moved closer.

"What?" She asked as Nailea leaned in and kissed her quickly.

Cindy pushed her away, turning to look at Naya.

"I'm sorry, I thought you liked me..."

"You thought wrong," Cindy shook her head, "I like someone else."

She got her drink and walked back to the pool, Nailea following behind her.

"You like Naya?" She asked causing Naya and Madison to look at them.

Lauren walked to Camila and Cindy's room.

"Oh hey mom!" Cindy smiled when she answered the door.

"Are you two going out?" She asked.

"Yeah, me and mom are about to go out for ice cream and chocolate!" Cindy beamed excitedly.

"Do you want to come?" Camila asked nervously, she didn't want Cindy to suspect anything.

"Sure, I've got nothing better to do anyway."

"We figured just as much," Cindy laughed.

The three were soon on their way to the beach.

"Do you think it's cold?" Cindy asked, pointing at the water, "can I go in?"

"If you really want to..."

Lauren looked at her daughter as she ran towards the water then back at Camila.

"She's something else huh?" She smiled.

"Yeah," Camila sighed as Cindy ran back towards them.

"It was cold," Cindy giggled.

"Come on, let's go get ice cream," Camila put out her hand for her daughter.

"Excuse me," a man tapped Lauren on the shoulder.

"Yeah?" Lauren looked at him.

"I was wondering if you and your lovely family would like a photo?" He offered.

"Sure!" Cindy smiled at the guy, "you'll give us the picture, right?"

"Absolutely," he nodded his head and held up his camera. It was a Polaroid.

Cindy pulled her parent's beside her so she was in between the two. Her hands were crossed as Camila and Lauren both had their arms around her.

"Smile."

"Thank you," Cindy giggled as the man handed her the picture.

"That'll be five dollars," he put out his hand.

Camila and Cindy began to pull out their purses.

"I got it mom."

Lauren handed him a couple of bills, "keep the change."

Cindy smiled as she looked at the picture. She was leaning on Lauren's shoulder and she could see that Camila's hand was touching her moms.

"Mine..." She shook her head happily.
