Fool Me Once (Camren)

Chapter 3

I got up and left the hospital room , quickly kissing my mom goodbye. My apartment wasn't too far so I decided to walk. I kept telling myself what I was doing was for my mam and was the right thing to do. I just couldn't make myself believe it. Camila seemed like a nice person from what I saw , she was sweet , kind and to make things worse she was extremely attractive.

It was about a 20 minute walk but I finally made it back to my apartment. I through my keys in the bowl sitting on top of the table as I walked in. I took off my jacket throwing it over the the top of the kitchen chair. I headed into my room and fell onto my stomach onto my bed.

I shut my eyes to try take a quick nap. I groaned as my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took it out , unlocking it to a new message.

A: Come down to the studio now.

L: Why? I was about to take a nap.

A: I don't care , you can nap later. Be here in 20 I'll talk to you then.

L: Fine.

I got up from my bed and headed out of my apartment grabbing my keys and jacket as I left. I went down to my car , bending down a little as not to hit my head. I pulled out of the parking lot. As I was driving my phone buzzed on the passenger seat. I quickly glanced at it noticing I had a message from an unknown number. I stopped at the red light , picking up my phone to check the message.

C: Hey it's Camila . Turns out Normani stayed last night I got your number off her as you rushed out I didn't get the chance to ask you for it. I hope that's not creepy. Anyway I had a lot of fun last night , maybe we could grab a coffee sometime or something?

I smiled at the message before I reality hit me. I gulped heavily , guilt starting to kick in. I decided not to reply till I was at the studio. About 5 minutes later I arrived. I got out of my car and jogged up the glass doors. I walked through the studio , greeting a few people as I walked by. I pulled out my phone and went into my messages. Quickly typing and sending the message.

L: I'm here meet me in the recording booth.

I made my way to recording booth and sat down in the chair in the front of the small room. I sat on the edge of the couch , putting my face in my hands. Thoughts racing through my head.

"Hey there Jauregui." I heard someone cherp from the door. I looked up to see Ariana leaning against the door frame. I gave her a stern look and she chuckled a little , walking into the room closing the door behind her.

"Hi" I took my hands away from my face and looked at the girl now in front of me. "What did you ask me come here for?" I said a bit harsher than I thought. I hated what she was making me do but she was helping my mom.

"I just wanted to make sure you know exactly what you have to do" She said giving me an innocent smile.

"Yes I do" I breathed out. I looked up and I knew she was waiting for me to repeat what my job was. "I have to make Camila fall for me and when she does I have to leave her , because you want her to be heart broken just like you were when she cheated on you."

"Exactly , so has anything happened since you know you..." She asked hoping I'd catch on. I let out a sigh and looked at the floor.

"Since I slept with her?" I asked and looked up at her and nodded. "We kissed this morning but I had to rush out because the hospital rang but she texted me" I took out my phone giving it to her showing her the message. She read it and quickly typed a message handing it back to Lauren .

"Looks like you have a date tonight" She smiled at me. I felt the guilt building up like crazy. I really didn't wanna hurt Camila. I just kept thinking back to a couple months ago when I accepted Ariana's offer and got myself into this mess.
