The Perks of Being a Lesbian (Camren)

Chapter 6

Things had eased up a bit since Lauren told Camila her story. After being informed by Natasha that her mother wouldn't be returning until late at night, Lauren had somehow been able to convince Camila to stay for dinner.

The two talked about anything and everything under the sun long after they'd finished their meals. Natasha had declined their offer to join, using the excuse that she had more work to be done. But Lauren knew that her crafty maid was only saying that so she could be alone with Camila. The smirk and mischievous look in Natasha's eye said it all. However, Lauren let it go, actually glad that she'd had more time to spend with Camila now.

She wanted to learn so much more about the girl. After telling Camila everything that happened with Austin, Lauren felt that things were a bit imbalanced with Camila knowing so much about her while she barely knew a thing about the younger girl. So she made it her mission to get to know as much about her as she could before the end of their time together. And boy did she learn a lot.

If there was one thing that Lauren had learned from this night, it was that Camila was one hell of a talker. She was quiet and reserved sometimes and really good at listening, but she also had a lot to say. It wasn't a problem though since Lauren loved hearing her talk.

One of the worst things about her pariah status at McKinley besides the bullying was not being able to talk and interact with people. Listening to what others had to say about certain things had been one of Lauren's favorite hobbies before being an outcast. She was always fascinated by what people had to say and the stories they had to tell. So it was no surprise to her that she was so interested in all of the information that Camila was willing to share about herself and her life. In fact, she was left wanting to hear even more, but as the conversation finally died down and the buzz that came with it faded, Lauren was left wondering how to continue their night, not ready to let Camila go just yet.

Thankfully, Natasha came through for her. The young maid had simply come in to clear away their plates, but Lauren could tell that she had something to say.

"You know, it's rush hour right now. You should probably wait a while before going home, Camila. I'm sure your mother would hate to have to go through traffic on her way to get you," the maid warned casually.

Camila smiled politely at the woman, enjoying how relaxed Natasha seemed to be whenever she was around them. Her own maid, which her family apparently needed now since her parents were busier with work, had previously worked at a very formal household, making interactions with her and the rest of the Cabellos very awkward.

She liked Elise, but the woman was always so uptight and calling her "Miss Cabello" rather than by her first name. Camila recalled the first time her mother told Elise to just call her Sinu. The tiny maid looked like her eyes were going to fall out of her head she was so shocked.

It was definitely going to take some getting used to for both the Cabellos and Elise, but with Natasha, interactions were much more easygoing. She seemed to have no problem calling Camila by her first name or speaking up despite not being called to speak. Camila wondered what the proper etiquette for maids was considering the difference between hers and Lauren's.

She was brought out of her thoughts by Lauren asking if she wanted to pass some time by watching a movie. The two gladly made their way to the home theater to pick one out.

They spent the rest of their time watching Tangled upon Camila's request since she wasn't really a fan of horror movies, which the Jaureguis seemed to have an abundance of. So the two of them sat together on one of the large chairs provided, there being plenty of room for the both of them to sit there, watching Rapunzel's story play out on the large screen in front of them. Lauren couldn't help drawing comparisons between Rapunzel and Camila. They were so alike once she really thought about it. It was no wonder why Camila liked the movie so much.
