Camila's POV

I walk out of the club as I run my hands through my hair. I broke my own fucking rule, I fucking broke it. Don't get close. I walk over to my car and enter it.

At my house, I rub my towel on my hair as I pick up my jeans. A paper falls out of one of the pockets and I kneel, picking it up. I slowly unfold it and I sit down on the bed as my eyes linger on the phone number.

"You can't live your entire life keeping to yourself. It will kill you inside."

Maybe Lauren is right. I've kept to myself so long that throughout my life I've done things that I'm not very proud of. The emotions built up and the decision I made to release it was the worst thing I have ever decided to do. My eyes move from the phone number written on the paper to the scar on my wrist. I let out a sigh and grab my phone as I type in the phone number. I press the call button and bring the phone up to my ear as it rings. I stand up and start to pace around as I wait for the green-eyed girl to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Lauren..." I speak softly.

"Camila. Hi!"

"Did I wake you?" I ask.

"Yeah but it's not a problem. Why did you call?"

"I was giving some thought to what you told me. Can I take you out tomorrow?" I ask hopefully.

"I need to check my agenda for tomorrow but I'll call you if I'm free."

"Okay, goodnight Lauren..." I said.

"Goodnight Camila."

I hang up the phone and I put it to charge. I lift the duvet and I slide under it. I turn off the bedside lamp and I roll over to my side, my eyes closing slowly.

Lauren's POV

In the morning, I'm checking my agenda to see what I have to do today. I smile to myself when I see that I am free during lunchtime. I grab my phone and press on Camila's contact. I bring the phone up to my ear as I excitedly wait for her to answer.

"Lauren, hi!"

"Camila, I was checking my agenda and I am free during lunchtime," I inform.

"Perfect, do you want me to pick you up?"

"I knew you liked that kiss and now you want to know where I live," I laugh.

"Just want to be nice."

"Okay, I'll send you my address," I said.

"Perfect, I'll see you soon."

"Bye, Camila!" I smiled.

"Bye."

I put my phone in my pocket after I sent Camila my address and I stand up as I walk into the living room to see Zayn Jr. watching TV. "Hey, baby! What are you watching?" I sit down next to him.

"Tom and Jerry," He answers.

"Well, it's park time," I grab the remote and turn off the TV.

"Yay!" Zayn Jr. jumps off the couch.

At the park, I chase Zayn Jr. around the playground. Once I finally catch him, I swing him over my shoulder as he laughs uncontrollably.

"Mami put me down!" Zayn Jr. lightly hits my back.

I walk over to the girls to see them sipping their slushies while talking about last night. "What are you all talking about?" I set Zayn Jr. down and he runs over to the spring rider.

"About how Ally got that cute bartender's number last night," Dinah sings.

"And Lauren kissed Camila last night," Normani says.

"Uh... Yeah, that happened," I sit down next to Ally.

"What's up, Lauren?" Normani asks.

"Camila... Asked to take me out today," I smiled.

"Oh my God, a date?" The girls lean closer to me.

"Is it one?" I ask.

"Of course it fucking is, dumbass," Dinah says.

I laugh softly and shake my head, "Okay then."

"Do you need someone to watch juñior?" Ally asks.

"Yes, can you three take Zayn Jr. out for lunch?" I ask.

"Of course, do you have a list of what he eats?" Normani asks.

"Just take him wherever," Lauren waves it off.

"Cool, I have some new recipes I want to show off," Ally says.

Normani and Dinah roll their eyes as they shake their heads.

My phone dings and I look down to see that I got a text from Camila. "Oh shit, I should go back home," I said.

"Why?" The girls ask at the same time, making them laugh right afterward.

"Camila said she's almost there to pick me up," I stand up. I walk over to Zayn Jr. before the girls can tease me. "Hey, baby! Your aunties are taking you out for lunch today," I said.

"Ooh! Is Auntie Ally going to cook?" Zayn Jr. asks, his eyes lighting up.

"Yes, she is, go over to them," I said.

"Where are you going mami?" Zayn Jr. asks curiously.

"I have some things to do, I'll see you later, I love you," I kiss his forehead.

"I love you too, mami!"

"Have fun but not too much fun!" The girls yell over to me.
