It was the weekend a day after Lauren's birthday. They left home for two nights camping. Camila still brought the tent that she borrowed from Doctor Gosling with her. She did not want to share a tent with Lauren. Lauren was in the driver's seat. She loved to be the driver when they went out together since she was the coolest one when came to driving. It was not that she could speed, but she was relaxed and good at it, unlike Normani, who was tense whenever she drove. Normani was too serious when driving. Dinah would have too many distractions, and she could talk too much which would not be good for their safety while Camila preferred to sit and sleep or read a book for a long drive.

Camila took the passenger seat since Dinah, who usually took it, wanted to sit behind today. She sat in between Normani and Kehlani. She somehow and somewhat did not like seeing Normani and Kehlani lost in their conversation. During the car ride, Lauren enjoyed her long drive. Camila was listening to the music and enjoying the summer view. In the back seat, Dinah was busy distracting Normani and Kehlani.

"Lauser, can we stop at the next gas station? I need to pee." Dinah said.

"Yes, mee, too!" Kehlani said the same.

"Me, too!" Normani smiled.

"Sure!" Lauren said.

They stopped at the gas station, and three of them rushed out of the car to go to the toilet.

"Camz... Don't you want to go?" Lauren asked.

"No, I'm good. You can go." Camila told Lauren.

"No, I'm good, too. Do you want to get some snacks?" Lauren asked.

"We have many already." They had stopped at the store nearby the house.

"I will and get some more. I need my snacks." Lauren said, and she left the car.

"Okay." Camila stayed in the car.

Lauren returned before them, "I got you a chocolate." She gave it to Camila.

"Thank you!" Camila took it. It was the chocolate she loved. Lauren knew her favorite. "You got so many things."

"Yeah, I feel like eating more," Lauren said. "They are in the store, probably getting more food."

"Oh..." Camila ate the chocolate Lauren gave her.

"Here, some water." Lauren gave Camila a bottle of water.

"Thanks!" Camila smiled subtly. She was thinking about how to feel not feel what she felt when Lauren was being so sweet to her like this, all the time, whenever they were together, or even more when they were alone.

.

They arrived at the camping ground. Dinah was setting their tent with Danielle, her casual date. Normani was setting her with Kehlani on the other side. Meanwhile, Camila was busy setting her tent. Lauren walked to Camila.

"I will help you," Lauren told Camila.

Camila looked at Lauren, "No, I'm good. You should set yours." Camila looked around and she did not see any tent left. "Lauren?"

"I..." Lauren smiled sheepishly, "I forgot to ask Mama Yo."

"Lauren!" Camila sighed. "You don't have to help me."
