SPY

Chapter 14

Camila's POV

"I can't believe you guys have to pretend you're sisters... you're literally fucking each other"

Zach laughed as we settle into bed after arriving at our hotel in Portugal, the dark quiet night all too calming almost a foreshadowing of what was later to come, if Lauren was involved it wouldn't be any less than gruesome

"Well I guess we look alike in a way... but yeah it's kind of weird.."

"Crazy though.. Ally never lets watch dogs in the field not even the experienced ones? She really likes you!"

Zach spoke honestly, I knew she did.. she was weirdly supportive of me and it almost scared me because I didn't know why, she had made a few comments here and there but they never made much sense when I thought about it?

"Yeah but that scares me.. I'm a nobody, she's trusting me but I don't think I should be trusted you know? I don't have any experience or training.. everything I've done has just been pure luck.."

"Hey don't put yourself down like that? You're talented Mila? She can see that and so can Sam and Lauren, you're more than ready for this!"

He spoke rolling over to face me leaning gently on his elbow followed by a gentle yawn that escape his mouth after speaking, his soft features always comforted me.. I'd never had a friend before, my mom never let me out of the house unless it was with her, she was super paranoid I guess but that's exactly why I had to escape in the first place

"Thanks.. that means a lot, I just don't wanna disappoint anyone?"

"And you won't mama! Besides if anything goes wrong Lauren will have your back, that's her job after all.. anyway get some sleep! It's a big day tomorrow!"

I roll over onto my side facing the edge of the bed just thinking about his last words, she would have my back! It seemed she always did, even when I hadn't realised, even when she didn't want to!

The man beside me fell asleep quickly, he always did.. but I never did, truth was I hated the dark, as far back as I could remember it always scared me, not knowing what was in front of me when I reach out my hand.. I guess it was childish but I couldn't help it.. even growing up I always made somebody sleep in the bed my bed with me..

Around an hour had passed and there I was still very much awake, the full glow of the half cracked door the only source of light which all of a sudden disappeared causing my head to gently lift from the pillow slightly fearful as a familiar body crept into the room walking over to lean down in front of my body

"Can I show you something?"

Lauren whispered softly sending a brief swarm of goosebumps flooding my body as I sat up to scratch at my eyes watching as hers followed my every movement

"Show me what?"

I reply as she stood to her feet pacing backwards slightly for me to follow, I untucked my body from within the warm covers stepping out onto the cold floor walking out like a sheep trailing behind her body

"Lauren wha-

"Just come on!"

She spoke quietly as she led me out onto the balcony just outside of her and Sam's room, I was confused to say the least but her body still quickly as her elbows lent against the cold metal that look out across the actually pretty beautiful serene night sky

I follow behind looking on at her relaxed body as I wrap my fingers around the metal bar in front, she let out a soft sigh before parting her lips to speak
