After All These Years

Tonight

Camila POV:

I drive home in the best mood. I start thinking about how I'm going to do my hair, what I'm going to wear and what makeup I'll put on. I pull up to my house and there's paparazzi everywhere. It's all because of that photo we took. I sigh and get out of my car. I put my hand over my face while they take photos and shout at me.

"Camila! Over here Camila!" "Why were you with Fifth Harmony today?" "Are you getting back together?" "Camila!"

I keep walking and I decide to go in the back door. I open the gate with my pin and shut out the paparazzi. I then walk round behind my house and head in the door. I could still hear the shouting. I hated it. I then remember why I came here; to get ready for Lauren and I's date. I go upstairs and start the shower. I then lay out all my make up and hair tools. I get in the shower and start singing. I can't describe how happy I am to be back friends with everyone and possibly back with Lauren, if I'm lucky. Once I've washed and conditioned my hair I get out and wrap myself in a towel. I dry my hair and straighten it. I go to my closet and can't choose what to wear. I want to look good but I don't want to go too over the top. I settle with a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a black crop top. I put on my high heeled boots and check the time. 6:35. I had plenty of time to do my make up. I went back into the bathroom and I have a text from Lauren.

'Hey pretty! Don't wear a dress😉'

I wonder what it means and I'm glad I didn't choose to wear a dress. I put makeup on and finish it off with my favourite lip gloss. I then hear a knock at my back door. I race downstairs, so excited to see her. I open the door and I stare at her. She looks gorgeous. She has black shorts on with a grey body suit and a denim jacket across her shoulders.

"Wow. You look stunning." I say and let her in.
"Right back at you." She comes in and I run upstairs and grab my phone.

"Camila! The paparazzi is crazy out there dude!"

I come back downstairs and still can't believe I'm with her.

"They kept shouting at me, they think I'm coming back into the band."

"Yeah, they were asking me that too. I ignored them of course."

We go to the door and I take Lauren's hand.
"Let's give them more to talk about." I wink at her and we walk back outside towards Lauren's car.

"Camila!" "Lauren!" "Are you guys dating?" "Is Fifth Harmony officially a five again?"

We get into the car and immediately start laughing. We've always hated the paparazzi.
"Why wasn't I aloud to wear a dress?" I ask Lauren.

"I thought we could go for dinner at Timer's," Timer's was me and Lauren's favourite place to eat. "Then go bowling."

"Bowling?" I ask excitedly. "I love bowling!"

"I know!" Lauren laughs.

"I'm gonna beat your ass Jauregui."

"We'll just see about that Cabello."

The drive to Timer's only took about five minutes. We settled at a table far away from the door, just in case word got out that we were here.

"Oh my gosh, I haven't been here in ages." I say.

"Tell me about it," Lauren exclaims. "Talk about major de ja vu."

We look at the menus but I already know what I'm having.

"Let me guess Mila," Lauren starts. "You're having the sweet potato taquitos?"

I laugh and nod. "How did you guess?"
