Remember High School (Sequel)

Chapter 9: promises

NOBODY'S POV:

Camila whipped of her hands on her clean rag and looked up feeling a presence. "Can we talk?" Lauren asked giving camila a guilty look.

"I'm working" camila sighed looking like she was busy.

"There is no one here" lauren said looking down the bar to see one person at the other end asking for a drink.

Camila sighed looking at dinah who gave her a look. "Fine. Talk" camila stopped and crossed her arms.

Lauren sighed knowing she wouldn't get farther if she tried to ask her to talk privately. "I'm sorry for what I did. Honestly we had no idea we were even coming up here until this morning. I really wasn't planing on coming but they wanted to see the city. By the time we got here it flew over my head about telling you I was around. I was having to much fun with my parents, it's the first time I've seen them face to face since...I left for college" lauren looked down guilty.

Looking to her left she found dinah and normani watching them from the other side of the bar. Probably thinking what they were talking about. With a sigh camila shook her head "no I'm sorry, I've been weird the last couple of days since I found out you deleted all of our old pictures-" Camila's eyes widen at what she had just said.

Lauren's head snapped up "what?" Shs questioned the older girl.

"Nothing, it's nothing. I was really hoping you would at least texted me you were coming up to LA when you first found out this morning. I could have stayed out of your way and let you have your time with your parents" camila said trying to change the subject.

Laurem only looked at camila with a small frown "I never actually deleted the pictures, camz" lauren said calmly.

Camila's heart skipped a beat hearing a very old nickname. Probably her favorite of all, since it was only used by lauren herself. "Yes I deleted them from my Instagram, and maybe a couple other photos too but... it's still all on my phone. And in a photo book" lauren said pointing at her phone that layed face down on the bar.

"Oh" camila muttered out now feeling guilty what she was sorta bothered by lauren deleting the pictures.

"All of them are on my phone. Since the first date at the taco truck." Lauren let a small smile form seeing camila bit her lip amd fiddle with her fingers. It was a good sign.

"Even the one-"

Lauren cut her short "even that one." Lauren nodded knowing what photo camila was talking about. A photo a giggly normani, ally and dinah decided to take when lauren had accidentally tripped pushing Camila up to a wall. They had stood in that position long enough from the girls to snatch a picture of the two. You could see how happy they were. Camila's hand on Lauren's cheek and lauren smiling like a little kid finding her lost candy.

"And my favorite too" lauren gave camila a warm smile. Camila broke and smile too, knowing what picture she was talking about. Another secretive photo taken but the elderly people at the taco truck. Camila and lauren were dancing, and lauren dipped Camila at the perfect moment durning the song. Both to stunned by each others eyes and smiles at that moment that it lasted a while. The elderly people decided to snatch a couple photos with Lauren's phone, maybe only one turned out good and the rest were shaky but it was a night Lauren could never forget.

Camila held the bridge of her nose "I'm so sorry, for everything lauren. I don't know why I did it and I don't know how I had the balls to do what I did earlier... I was-" she cut herself short.

Laurem chuckled shaking her head "camila. We are okay. We are going to be okay. And honestly I had no idea you had the balls to do what you did earlier either but it made me realize that I missed it" lauren licked her lips to continue "I miss all the looks you give me, I miss all the ways the other girls would make fun of us and make fun of me. I miss you and dinah and of course ally, that we never got to see when she visited" Lauren gave camila a 'seriously' look only to make the older cuban give her a shy smile. Camila had forgotten about inviting the others. Truly, ally only visited four days before leaving again.
