The Secrets We Keep (CAMREN)

Chapter 17: A White Lie and Plan Chris

Camila's POV

As I walked out of my bathroom and made my way down stairs the smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon filled my nostrils. Did Lauren really beat my mom to the kitchen? That's crazy it's like 10 am mom is up by now. When I walked into the kitchen I saw that Lauren was singing and dancing while flipping some pancakes and a smile filled my face. Seriously why haven't I noticed how hot and sexy Lauren is? Oh yeah I know, because before I wasn't addicted to her lips and her hypnotizing eyes; but Lauren didn't need to know that yet.

I walked closer to her without making a noise and as I got right behind her I wrapped my arms around her waist and buried my face in her neck.

"How'd you beat my mom to the kitchen?" I asked as I placed a soft kiss to her neck

"Camila" she says in a warning tone and I know why she said it but I just couldn't help myself.

"Sorry" I say letting her go and then taking a seat on top of the kitchen counter that was behind me.

"Your parents went to your grandma's house with Sofi that's how I beat your mom" she answers and I freeze on the spot.

"Wait you saw my parents, what did they say?" I ask worried because they think Lauren and I fixed our friendship months ago.

"Whoa calm down they were happy to see me. Why are you so worried?" She asks and I hate that she can read me so well still even after so long.

"Um- well um why don't you finish the pancakes first" I say avoiding the subject

"The pancakes are done now tell me why are you so worried Camila" She says and crack what do I tell her? She's going to probably be pissed when she finds out what I did.

"I'm waiting Camila tell me" She encourages

"Um- well you see I might have told a little white lie a while back" I say looking down at my fingers

"What lie Camila?" she asks and I know she is looking at me I can feel her stare.

"Well- um" I say worried

"Camila look at me, what lie?" She asks again and uses her finger to lift my head up so I can look at her.

"I kind of told them that we fixed our friendship 6 months ago" I say looking at her and biting my lip

"You what? Why would you do that?!" She shouts and I know she doesn't like it.

"Um- well you remember the day you stopped being my friend?" I ask and she nods "Well they kind of heard the entire thing and when I walked back into the house they got mad at me for what I had done and they told me to fix it because what I did was wrong. And honestly they were right. After months of you completely shutting me out and them nagging about it I just told them I fixed it and they left me alone" I explain hoping she won't get even more pissed.

"So you bugged me those 5 months because you wanted your parents off your back?" she asks and I can tell she isn't happy

"No, not at all. I-I agh how can I explain this without you freaking out on me" I say getting a bit aggravated

Lauren's POV

I could tell that she wasn't doing too good with explaining this to me and I will admit it is kind of adorable how she fights with her own thoughts but still she had originally wanted to fix this for her parent's sake and that hurt.

"You know what I should go. Have your breakfast. See you around." I say starting to walk out of the kitchen

"No wait, Lauren" I hear her call after me and I stop without turning around
