Halfway Gone (Camren)

Chapter 5: A Storm Won't Stop Me

Word for this Chapter:

Gut Feeling:

The feeling, which some call "a deep knowing," is characterised by understanding something with little to no explanation.

Lauren's POV

"Can we get her moved up to first class with me please?"

The flight attendant immediately obeyed Camila's words, obviously starstruck that she was talking to Camila Cabello the world-known pop star.

I hug her from behind, "Thankyou for that" and she touches my arms in response. We stay like this until the flight attendant came again to tell us it was all good to head to first class.

This is unlike anything I'd ever seen. "Oh my gosh, they actually have beds in first class?" I say as I also admire the slight golden finishes in the edge of the seats, caressing them with my finger.

Camila chuckled, "wait until you see what else they have." She grabbed my arm and led me toward the biggest capsule in first class. My mouth dropped.

There was 2 bottles of wine resting on the side tables, along with a couple platters with fruit and the other with desserts. The napkins were folded in the shape of origami...THATS how extra everything was. I was so utterly surprised by the level of wealth around us. There was a man, in a suit that looked so expensive that one of the buttons would be the price of one week's shopping. Then to the other side there was a couple that had all their suitcases Luis Vuitton prototypes, with golden jewellery on each of their hands.

"Camila, I don't think I look right in here" I look down to see my ripped jeans, my The 1975 top and my partially ripped cardigan I threw over. That's when I felt embarrassed.

She grasped my hand and squeezed it. "Don't you dare think like that, you're beautiful." She dropped her eyes to my lips, then back up to my eyes. Ugh, she makes me feel some type of way when she gives me that look.

I bite my lip thinking about her, her and only her.

She feels the lust radiating from my body, leans in and whispers, "not now, later okay?"

Me, clearly not aware of my surroundings, look up to see some people starting to look our way. I nod to her and walk into our capsule, and close the door after plopping our bags in the corner cabinet.

We sit down, and breathe a sigh of relief. All the hassle from the past few days has now vanished. That's when I look at Camila and ask, "hey camz?"

Looking kind of surprised, she quickly shot back, "no-one has ever called me that before... I love it"

I grin, "Good, that's your name from now on"

She smiled and rested her hand on top of mine, I chuckle and start playing with her fingers, looking down as I did so.

She spoke, "Sorry, were you going to ask me something?"

I nod, and start speaking, "Yeah actually, um..."

She sensed my uneasiness, and intertwined our fingers together causing my heart to jump a bit. "What exactly happened, when you saw my brother get into the crash?"

She was silent for a second, thinking about what she was going to say. "Well, I was actually on my way to Roger's after my concert, as I usually grab a drink after each concert I do. My driver took me down the highway, and for some reason there was traffic so he re-routed another way. When we were driving, I started hearing screams and then the smell came in."
