Don't Go There (Camren)

Chapter 8

The next morning Camila was woken up by a loud Chris playing with toys. "Good morning, little one." She said in her morning voice. "Mila!" He shouted. While jumping on her and hugging her. Camila just laughed and tickled the small boy. "Stop Mila! Stop!" He wiggled. Trying to get out of her grasp laughing. "Hey you finally woke up too." Dinah greeted her while she walked into the living room with toast on her plate. She sat on the other couch and turned on the tv. "Good morning Dinah." Camila said back. She sat up and stretched. "Why didn't you make me toast?" She questioned. "Because your ass was sleeping. Now tell me all about Jauregui last night." She changed the subject. Camila froze for a second when she thought about last night. Her feelings. "Hey! My last name is Jauregui!" The little boy said as his head shot up from the tv to look at them. They both exchanged looks and started laughing. "We don't mean you!" Dinah said laughing. "Okay." He simply said while turning his attention back to the tv. "I'm gonna make some toast then myself." Camila began and walked to the kitchen, Dinah following behind. "So tell me what did you guys do when I was gone?" Dinah attempted again after being interrupted by Chris. "Nothing much." Camila answered trying to be casual. She was making herself toast. "There is more to it so spill." Dinah knew her best friend to well. "Really nothing. We just talked about her cat and she showed me pics and we laughed and then she left." Camila explained shortly. "That is cute!" Dinah squealed. Camila blushed. Dinah immediately noticed. "Mila? What's going on?" She asked trying to hold herself together. Blushing meant liking someone. Did Camila..? She had to hear it from her. "Dinah.." Camila said after a moment of complete silence. "Yeah?" She answered waiting. "I think I might like Lauren." She said softly. "That's amazing!" Dinah jumped excitedly. "No it's not. Why aren't you yelling at me? And why aren't you mad or telling me this so wrong?" Camila asked surprised. "Why would I?" Dinah said confused. "You're supposed too.." Camila tried. "Why? Do you want me to say all that? I don't think that. Look. You and Lauren don't have the same parents. So technically you're nothing from her. Yeah okay you grew up with her for 10 years and everyone is calling you guys sisters. But it's okay Mila. You can have feelings for her." Dinah said making sure Camila felt comfortable. "I don't like it but okay it's nothing big jus a little crush." She said convincingly. Dinah nodded. "Then there's no problem right?" She asked. "Right." Camila responded.

"Mommy!" Chris yelled excited while hugging his mom. Alejandro and Clara had just arrived home. Finally they let Clara go on the condition that she would take things slow and regularly take her medicin. They all hugged her and she sat down in the living room. Soon enough Lauren also came and prepared dinner because Clara was too weak to do it herself. Alejandro was working late again. He came home just in time for dinner. "I made spaghetti! Hope you all like it." Lauren said as she put down the bowl of spaghetti on the middle of the table. Everyone took some of it on their plate and started to eat. "Camz honey, can you give Chris too I forgot to cut it for him. Otherwise he's going to be very dirty." Clara asked Camila nicely and ofcourse she obeyed. Chris sat next to her as she feeded him and tried to eat herself. "Mmm food is good Lauren." Alejandro complimented her. "Yeah? Thank you. Do you all like it?" She asked as she looked at each one of them. They all nodded. "You too, Camz?" She asked as if only her opinion mattered. "Yeah it's great!" She nodded and Lauren felt content. "Are you enjoying it too little fella?" Clara asked Chris as he had his mouth full of spaghetti. He nodded furiously. "You're lucky with Camzi ha?" She asked and he nodded and smiled. Suddenly Lauren put her plate down. "I'm jealous." She stated causing everyone to look at her but she was only looking at Camila. "Camzi, do you want to feed me too?" She pouted adorable. Camila almost choked on her food and Dinah spit her drink out. Luckily no one noticed as they were all laughing at Lauren's joke. She knew Lauren was just joking but because she now liked Lauren it was even harder. The girl wouldn't stop doing things to make Camila like her even more. "I'm full. I'm going to play now." Chris said as he jumped away and ran to his room. The rest of them had also eaten. Camila was still hungry though. She had given almost everything to Chris. "You still want?" Lauren asked seeing the younger one still was hungry. "Yeah I do it's so good and I didn't really have the chance to eat properly." Without more Lauren stood up and got Camila's plate while she filled her plate. "Wow that's enough, Lauren I can't eat so much." She protested. Lauren didn't listen though she just smiled and put more on the plate. "You have to eat good! So you're gonna eat this I don't care what you say." She stated bossy and Camila liked that. So she smiled. She took the plate and sat down eating. After she was done she went into the kitchen to help Lauren doing the dishes. "I don't need help." Lauren said politely. "Oh no but you do. Come let me." Camila protested and grabbed a plate. "Camz really it's okay go play with Chris I can do this it's almost done so." She argued taking the plate out of Camila's hand. Camila just looked at her. Why was this woman so goddamn stubborn? She found it extremely attractive. The way she alway seemed to be perfect alone. She didn't need anyone and that infatuated Camila a lot. She walked back to the living room and Chris was now on the couch playing with his cars. Clara was sleeping on the other. Camila decided to sit next to the small boy and took one of the cars in her hand as she played with him. Lauren came back to the living room and watched tv. "No you're doing it wrong!" Chris said to Camila. "But he's picking you up." Camila started. "No no! This car had an accident so he can't drive anymore!" He said much louder this time. "Okay shh! Don't yell like that." Camila tried to calm him. "No! You can't be that car be this one!" He said completely ignoring what she had asked of him. "Chris!" Lauren scolded and he immediately listened. "Don't talk like that to Camila! She isn't your possession. She is not your wife or anything!" She said sounding very irritated. She didn't expect Lauren to have an outburst like that. For a moment it looked like Lauren was jealous Chris had Camila all too himself. Was that jealousy or was she just protecting Camila? But why? Camila was old enough to handle the little one on her own. She looked at Lauren who had her attention back to the tv again.
