Chapter 32: A kiss for your troubles

"Camila?" Lauren put her hand on her shoulders and she groaned. "Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes" She hesitated, blushing "I'm fine now"

Looking around all three women on the table were looking at her with a mix of humor and worry... Camila had choked by herself but it wasn't her fault, it was Lauren with her licking of lips just like her fantasy the other night...

Okay, she needed to change her thoughts, she needed something gross.

Doctor Shawn, puke, worms...

"I can take you to the hospital if you'd want to" Lauren kept going "I still have some time before dropping off the girls... Maybe you should take the day off?"

"Oh, No! Lauren, that's not necessary" Camila broke the tension "It just went down the wrong pipe, it's okay"

"Are you sure?" Lauren insists "Because you've been a little... well, weird, the whole week"

Yes Lauren, maybe it's because she masturbated to the thought of you and now Camila can't look you in the eyes.

You know... Normal stuff, anyway, who's weird?

What if she's avoiding Lauren? It's not like they have to talk all day, it's good for her to keep a distance from her boss, and set some boundaries...

"Cami's just a little stup..." Everyone looked at Luna "Slow" She corrected herself

"Luna..."

"I didn't say it!" Luna exclaimed "I was trying to defend her"

"It's okay," she says before things escalate "Thank you, Lu, you're right, I'm just a little slow this week, I'm sorry if I'm lacking at something..."

Lauren frowns and opens her mouth to say something but the ringing phone in her hands keeps her from it. From her peripheral vision, she can see it's a private number and the raven sighs.

"Her again?" Camila asks without saying the name, Lucy had been calling nonstop this week, ever since TMZ wrote that article about them, even if they posted a note saying she was just the nanny and nothing was going on the woman had been angry. Lauren keeps blocking her but she finds new numbers and ways to contact.

"No..." Lauren frowns "It's nobody important"

"I'm sorry if that article is still causing you trouble"

"Don't be" She laughs "I don't care about what she thinks"

"Who's she?" Luna asked butting in and Camila wanted to know too, were they talking about Lucy or someone else? was this someone calling Lauren?

"No one you need to worry about" Camila hopes it's true "I've to go now, give mommy a kiss" Luna does and then Lauren turns to Camila.

"I'll see you later?"

"Always"

————————————————————-

Later was sooner than she thought.

She saw Lauren's frame sitting down in the living room, last time Lauren called in the afternoon was to tell her about the article and the pictures and now she'd come back home. Was this worse? What if they got more?

Wait, it's not possible to have more because they're not more! Get a grip!

"Lauren? Is everything okay?"

She'd just arrived from ballet with Liv and the sight made her pause.

"Oh, you're home already?" Lauren looked at the clock surprised, she'd probably lost track of time.
