Back to You

chapter twelve

"Cindy where did you put my phone charger?" Camila asked looking around the room. The two girls were going back home tonight.

"Check the bathroom where you left it two days ago," Cindy shook her head as there was a knock on the door.

"You get it!" The two yelled in unison.

"I'm the mother."

"You always say that," Cindy stood up and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"It always works."

Cindy opened the door to see Lauren standing there.

"Oh hey mom," Cindy walked back inside.

"Don't I get asked to come in?" She laughed, walking across the mess.

Cindy began to drag her bag to the entrance,
"let me help you," Lauren put her hand out.

"It's okay," Cindy smiled, "now move. It's heavy."

"So what time are you leaving?" Lauren asked, sitting down on the bed.

"Well, we need to leave in an hour, I think?" Camila said.

"Cindy?" A voice came from the door.

Cindy walked to the entrance, "oh hey Naya, come in."

"That's okay. I just came to say goodbye," she smiled at her.

Cindy looked at her and stepped outside shutting the door behind her.

"I'm going to miss you," she kissed her on the cheek, hugging her.

"I've got to go..."

Cindy hugged her again and watched her as she walked down the corridor.

"Bye Naya!" She waved before she disappeared.

"Has your girlfriend left?" Camila laughed.

"She's not my girlfriend... Did you say bye to everyone?"

"This morning while you were still asleep."

"What happens now?" Lauren asked.

"Do you want to take us to the airport?" Cindy asked hopefully.

"Come on," Lauren stood up and began to assist them with their things as they waited for the bellboys to get it.

"Hey! A!" Cindy smiled at her bodyguard, "we're going home."

"Oh joy..." He said bluntly.

"Loser," Cindy whispered.

"I heard that," A glared at her jokingly.

"Someone's in trouble," Camila laughed at the two.

"No I'm not," Cindy stuck her tongue out.

"Yes you are," A bent down and picked Cindy up. Lauren being new to all this stood their stunned.

"It's okay, they're always like this," Camila reassured her.

Lauren shrugged as they got into the car and drove to the airport.

"So I'll see you in two weeks?" Lauren looked at her daughter.

"I'm going to miss you..."

"Come here," she put out her arms for her and wrapped her into a tight hug, "I'm glad I finally got to know you."

"Me too," Cindy kissed her on the cheek.

Cindy and A walked into the private jet.

"So it was nice seeing you again," Camila smiled.

"Please just kiss me," Lauren looked at her helplessly. Camila bit her lip and did just that, "I'll miss you."
