The Soulmates Series Camren

Lauren wrapped her arm around Camila's waist as they ascended the steps of the on campus sorority house, pulling the younger girl as close to her body as possible.

"Thank you for agreeing to come with me Camz," Lauren grinned, her fingertips drawing simple patterns on Camila's hips.

"Just... Please don't leave me," Camila whispered as they broke through into the bustling room, there were hundreds of bodies inside of the house and music bounced off of every wall, so loud that the vibrations could even be felt beneath their feet.

Lauren traced the shape of the small of the younger girl's back, grabbing her hand to lead her through the crowds of people at the party. All eyes were on the pair as they navigated through the crowds of intoxicated, desperate college kids.

"Everyone is staring at us," Camila said, her lips close to Lauren's ear in order to be heard over the music.

"I don't usually make public appearances with beautiful women," Lauren teased, pulling Camila out through the back door of the sorority house to where she knew her friends would be, passing a joint around the bonfire in the back yard. The green eyed girl broke into an infectious smile, to say Camila was nervous was an understatement, what if Lauren's friends hated her? What if she hated them? But standing next to Lauren in that tight black dress made her feel a little more at ease. Camila herself was dressed in a short black skirt, a tight white crop top and Lauren's flannel shirt that she had kept from the night after they first kissed.

"LAUREN!" Vero squealed, jumping onto the green eyed girl, she wrapped her long legs around Lauren's waist and her arms around her neck, pressing a long kiss right on her lips. Camila could feel the unfamilar feeling of raw jealousy blazing in her veins, she was not a jealous person, she wasn't the sort of person who held any sort of negative emotion at all, at least not often, but right now the jealousy was so real to her. "Is this Camila?! She's such a lil cutie," Vero cooed, turning her face to Camila. Her dilated pupils explained her irratic behaviour, she was quite obviously high. Vero detached herself from Lauren with some difficulty, landing on the ground with a muted thud. Lauren laughed, the husky sound immediately washing away all of the negative feelings Camila had been feeling less than a moment ago, and helped Vero to her feet. Camila clung to Lauren immediately, her arm draped around her waist as they approached the rest of her friends.

"Someone give Queen Jauregui a drink," Tristan smirked, breaking the cap off a beer bottle with his teeth. Normani threw a clear, unlabelled bottle, which Lauren caught effortlessly in one hand, unscrewing the cap with the other before taking a long drink. Camila shuffled awkwardly from one foot to the other, unsure of exactly what she was supposed to do. She thought maybe she should have stayed at home, this was Lauren's night. Not hers. But her girlfriend wanted her there, and she thought maybe that made it all okay.

"Fuck off Tris," Lauren laughed, taking another long swig from the plastic bottle, she tightened her grip on Camila, her hips twisting feverishly to the beat of the music. "Do you want a drink?" Lauren whispered in Camila's ear, causing goosebumps to erupt accross the younger girl's skin.

"Uh... Sure..." Camila decided after some thought, taking the bottle from Lauren. The substance began to burn the second it met her lips but it did not deter the brown eyed beauty from draining a substantial amount of the liquid, she screwed up her face, sticking out her tongue as she returned the bottle to Lauren.

"Jesus, I think she's a better first time drinker than you were Jauregui," Xavier smirked, taking a draw from the joint that hung from his fingers.

"She's a better anytime drinker than Lex, that's for sure," Lauren laughed, pressing a soft kiss to Camila's cheek. "Okay, okay, guys! Introduce yourselves..." Lauren called out, throwing one arm in the air above Camila theatrically. "To this little beauty," She smiled, taking another long drink from the bottle.
