Risky Business

Chapter Three

It had been about three month since Chris and Camila moved in to the Jauregui house. In that amount of time, Camila and Lauren grew much closer. After that first trip to the beach, the two became inseparable. Neither had grown this comfortable with someone so fast before in their lives.

Lauren had just woken up when she walked downstairs and into the kitchen, swiping a piece of bacon off the plate on the table. She greeted her family as they sat around the table. "Where's Camz?" She asked.

"Sleeping still." Chris told her, putting on his work boots. In the past few months, he had gotten a job at a local landscaping company, Camila also found work at a small cafe. "I gotta go. Bye, guys." He grabbed his lunch and walked out the door, leaving the rest of the family.

Lauren sighed and sat down, looking at her parents and sister. Her mom was reading a book, her dad on his laptop, and Taylor on her phone. "I'm bored. I'm gonna wake Camila up." She announced and stood up, waiting for a response but received none.

She walked upstairs and to Chris and Camila's room. She opened the door and found Camila sprawled out on the bed. Lauren laughed, unsure how Chris even fit on the bed at night. She started with a slight jog before jumping onto the bed, careful of Camila's limbs. "Wake up!" She yelled. Camila jolted awake, looking around before seeing Lauren laying beside her. "Hi." She smiled.

"Morning." Camila rasped, rubbing her eyes as she stayed laying down.

Lauren let her adjust as she looked around the room. Once she looked back at Camila, she noticed she was seemingly...naked. The blanket covered her but her shoulders were obviously bare. "Are you naked?" She asked.

"Oh, uh," Camila looked down. "Yeah." She replied, unbothered.

"Oh, gross!" Lauren yelled jumping off the bed.

"Well, ouch." Camila said, feigning offense.

"No, not that. It's just that if your naked then that means...you and my brother...blech!" She shook her whole body as if to rid herself of something.

"Come on, it's not that big of a deal." Camila scoffed. "Can you grab me some clothes?" She asked. Lauren nodded, her face still scrunched in disgust. She walked over to the dresser, opening the top drawer. Half of the drawer obviously belonging to Chris and the other half Camila. She grabbed a pair of underwear off the top, it was black with lace around the hem. She swallowed and tossed it back to Camila. "Thanks. I don't need a bra." She told her, putting her underwear on under the covers. Lauren shivered slightly but continued grabbing her clothes. She retrieved a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

"Here you go." She threw them at Camila and the smaller woman pulled on the shorts under the covers before realizing she can't really put her shirt on under the covers as well. Realizing her and Lauren shared the same upper half, she sat up, allowing the blanket to fall from her torso. Lauren gasped slightly and looked away, causing Camila to fight the urge to smile.

"Alright." Camila got out of bed. "Breakfast time." She smiled.

The two were on Lauren's bed later that night, watching a movie when the taller woman groaned. "What is it?" Camila asked. She was laying beside her and looked up from where the TV was at the end of the bed.

"It sounds weird, but I can't get the thought of you and Chris out of my head." She admitted. "Like my best friend and my brother. It's weird."

"Well, we're in a relationship so it's not that weird." Camila pointed out. "Plus, I was dating him before we became best friends."

"Still. It's so...ugh." Lauren complained.

"If it makes you feel better, you're probably picturing much worse than what it is." Camila muttered.
