Think Again (Camren)

Bedroom Date

Lauren's PoV

"Camila, come in!" Aunt Greta greeted Camila at the door. "The weather is awful out there, I told Austin to cancel your date."

"Oh it's okay," I watched Camila peek her head through the door towards the dining room. I smiled as she winked subtly. "Austin did call but we're staying in tonight."

"Great!" My Aunt shrieked and ran to the kitchen to set up an extra plate.

I made my way towards the brunette and my eyes grew wide as she took off her coat. A low cut sweater hung sexily off her body, filling all the right curves that mattered. "Wow." I breathed and she blushed. "You look beautiful."

Camila ducked her head shyly. "Thanks," she bit her lip and hung up her coat. Her jeans were tight. The ones she wore that day the teacher was checking her out.

"Mila!" Austin came running in and immediately put her arm around her waist, giving me a glare. "So glad you could make it." He said, kissing her cheek.

"Well, a date is a date, right?" Camila eyed me as they turned to go into the living room. I sighed heavily and made my way to the kitchen, where my Uncle was whipping up some dessert. Aunt Greta clanged the pots and pans around, starting dinner.

"So when will you be bringing a lovely young lady home, Lauren?" Uncle Vic smiled up at me. "We'd sure love to see you and Austin go out on a double date and keep each other out of trouble," he walked over and nudged me, "if you know what I mean."

"Victor!" Aunt Greta gasped and swatted him across the head, making me laugh. "Don't put nonsense into the child's head!"

I raised my eyebrow. "I'm not a child," I said defensively. "Besides," I picked up the pepper shaker and looked at it, "there's only one girl out there for me."

Out there as in the living room with your son.

"Aww sweetie," Aunt Greta patted my head, "left her behind in B.C.?"

I smirked but never corrected her. If I'd say she was from here, they'd hound me then and they'd hound me at dinner and Austin would get into one of his moods so things would get intense. I sighed.

"Mrs. Mahone?" Camila came bounding in the kitchen, a smile a mile wide. She looked at me briefly before approaching the older woman. "My parents were wondering if it was alright if I stayed the night? It's a blizzard out there and they really don't want me driving. But they'd pick me up if they needed too..."

Camila spending the night.

A had to soak this information in.

"Oh honey," my Aunt chuckled and pulled her into a hug, "you don't need to ask!"

"Thanks." Camila blushed and sat down at the table next to me.

"Just so you know, you won't be spending the night in Austin's room." Aunt Greta scolded lightly. I sighed with relief and smirked at Camila. She shook her head and giggled.

"Aww why not mom?" Austin came in the room and placed his hands on Camila's shoulders. "You were just saying you wouldn't mind us getting married!"

I cringed.

Camila gagged. "I told you I didn't want to get married!" She hissed.

Aunt Greta and Uncle Vic shared a look with each other. "Well," the older man sighed, "you're still under our roof and I'm not allowing that in my house."

"I'll just take the couch." Camila smiled lightly and clasped her hands together.

"Nonsense Dear!" Aunt Greta scoffed and stood beside me, placing her hand on my shoulder. "You can share Lauren's bed."

Austin's face went white.

Camila's face lit up briefly.

I was fucking jumping inside.

"What? Wait!" Austin jumped back and scratched his neck, "Camila can sleep with Lauren but she can't sleep with me?"

"What's wrong Aus?" I looked up at him with a devious smirk. "Afraid I'll put the moves on your girl?"

He clenched his jaw and sneered. "Mom, please? Just tonight? We can leave the door wide open the whole night."

Camila bit her bottom lip and avoided eye contacted with Austin's parents.

Aunt Greta looked like she was about to reconsider when Uncle Vic smacked his hand down on the counter. "I will not have that in my house," he spoke firmly to my cousin. "Camila will be spending the night in Lauren's room and that's final."

There goes that happy dance inside me again. Can't help it. Alone time with my girlfriend.

Again, I'll repeat, eat your heart out Mahone.

"Whatever, Camila let's go watch a movie." Austin marched away like a broken five year old that didn't get his way.

Camila gave me a quirky look and waved her finger at me. She leaned forward while getting up and whispered "be nice."

I shrugged and sat back. She shocked me when she whispered in my other ear. "I believe we have a bedroom date." And she was out of the kitchen.

Bedroom date.

I loved the sound of that.

I smirked and put the pepper shaker down. "Well," I stood up and sighed, "as much fun as it would be to talk about the weather or whatever, unlike Aus and Camila, I don't have a date therefore I'm just going to do some homework." I kissed Aunt Greta on the cheek, shocked the hell out of her too, and then did the same to Uncle Vic.

They didn't even know it but they just made my night.
