Whatever It Takes (CamRen)

21 // I don't like you like that

Lauren has recovered after four days of Camila looking after her. The brown-eyed has returned the afternoon. According to Camila, it was the most peaceful days that she stayed with Lauren alone in her room just both of them together. Being all sweet and cuddly to each other. Also, reminiscing about their better days. She felt relaxed again having this situation done.

Camila's phone was ringing. She grabbed it from her desk and answered the call. It was Michael.

"Hey," the guy said.

"Hi," the brunette replied.

"Can I come over?" He asked.

"Um... Sure,"

"Okay, open the door," Michael chuckled over the line.

"What?"

"I'm outside your house,"

Camila got off her bed and looked out of the window. She saw Michael's car parked outside.

"Wow, didn't know you have speed super powers," the girl giggled. "I'm coming," she finished, hanging up the phone.

Camila left her room and quickly walked down the stairs and approached the main door. She swiftly opened the door revealing a dressed up guy.

"Good afternoon, Camila," Michael smiled.

"Hi Michael," Camila smiled. She stepped out of the way to let the guy in.

"Is Mrs Cabello home?" he asked, looking around.

"Nope," the brunette shook her head.

"I see that you're dressed," Michael grinned, gazing at Camila's outfit. Little did he know that Camila had just returned from Lauren's house, having no idea that she stayed there for days.

Camila wasn't planning to tell him though.

"Uh... I was gonna go out with Dinah but ended up that she can't," Camila lied, giving the guy an innocent smile.

"Okay, are you free? Like right now?"

"I guess so? Yeah, I think I am..."

"Shall we go?"

Camila instantly shook her head. "I, I mean, I need to tell you something first."

"What is it?" Michael asked, raising his brows.

Camila was planning to tell Michael that Lauren and her had already made up. She didn't wanna hurt anyone's feelings and she really loves Lauren so wouldn't keep it a secret to anyone that they're alright again.

"Well me and Lauren are doing fine now," the girl told him.

"Oh," the guy forced a smile. But deep inside, he was hurt. "Is that it?"

"Yeah..."

"Well uh," Michael took a deep breathe. "I'm happy for the both of you." he then averted his eyes to the ground, placing both his hands in his pocket.

Camila looked at the guy unsure. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, of course," he forced a chuckle. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Nothing, It's just- nevermind, let's go?"

"Let's go."

Michael and Camila left the house after the brunette locked it. They got in the guy's car and he started the engine and then left.

Camila has been staring at Michael concerned along their journey. The guy has been quiet and had a serious face. It worried the brunette so she had to ask him what's wrong.
