Café Del Sol

Chapter 5

Camila's POV

I grab the first aid kit as Lauren sat on my chair here on my little office. She's not that beaten up like Austin but still, she have some bruises. I glance at her smiling slightly as she smile back at me.

I don't know why she did that, I don't know why did she protected me after a week of not meeting each other again. But I still admit it's nice to have her when Austin almost kidnapped me. It's nice that she protected me without any hesitation written on her face.

It was like she's determine to leave that Austin knocked out. Which is she just did earlier. I don't even know she can fight until now. because she's a CEO right? and they always have bodyguards protecting them, Or so I thought.

But still the way she fight for me is something I can't forget neither the line she said earlier;

"And then what? You'll kidnapped her? Tsk, I'm not that stupid Mahone, Your not going any closer from her"

It's giving me some weird feelings on my stomach, It felt like my intestines we're dancing- okay thats a horrible imagination.- I mean it was like a full blown million butterflies erupt on my stomach at the same time.

It feels nice to see Lauren protecting me like I'm so precious to her, but then I know that I'm not. I'm just Camila Cabello, the owner of Cafe Del Sol and she's the amazing Lauren Jauregui, the CEO of Morgado Estates.

She's too high to reach, she can get everything in a blink of eye, she can even crush anyone if she wants. And it's not something I matched with. Lauren is not my match and never will.

I sigh placing the first aid kit on my desk.

"You okay? You seem upset?" She ask eyeing me curiously. I just smile shaking my head. "You sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure, now give me your hands, I know Austin's face was hard as a bulletproof metal." I said causing her to chuckle while placing her hand on my desk.

"Yeah it is, I really think earlier that I'm fighting with Ironman" she smiles shaking her head in amusement.

"He's not Ironman! Tss. He's more like the Hulk or something like Thanos" I mumble arguing with her playfully. She laughs staring at me intently.

The way she looks at me, it was like she want something but she can't. I don't know but her green eyes were flickering with pride and adore while staring at my brown one's. Her smile were soft and gentle like how the moon softly lit us up at night.

This isn't right.

I cleared my throat gaining her attention, she sit up straight mumbling a small 'sorry'.

I sat across from her, grabbing some cotton balls, band aid and betadine. I place some betadine on the cotton balls then gently dabbing it on Lauren's knuckles causing her to hiss.

"It hurts?" I ask unconsciously while still cleaning her bruised hands.

"Y-Yeah it is, but it's worth it though." I snap my head to meet her gaze, blushing slightly. The slight pain written on her face.

"W-What?"

"I said" she lean closer causing my face to flustered profusely. "Fighting for you was worth it and it always will Camila" she sat back again smirking at me.

Damn it! Heart, stop pounding!

I turn away letting her chuckle at my red face. I cleared my throat fixing my glance on her hands again, I gently dab the cotton ball earning a hiss from her. I finish up her both hands then take a deep breath.
