INTERLINKED

"Hey, Cam, you ready?" Kat asked as she peeked her head through Camilas door.

"Mhm, just give me a sec!" Camila said.

Her door shut as Kat entered the room. "Aw, you look so pretty."

"Thanks, Kat. You do too." Camila smiled, watching the smile bloom on Kats face before she left the room and sat on her bed.

Camila had put on a pair of baggy black pants that she'd picked up while shopping that hung loosely around her hips. Then, she had on a strapless white top which displayed her torso perfectly.

She had curled her hair with the curler she'd also bought. You can't blame her, if she was going to be stuck here she may as well buy everything she wanted.

"Okay, I'm ready." Camila said, standing up from her the stool in front of the bathroom mirror and went to meet Kat, who was standing and already by the door.

"I'm so excited. You can talk about anything with Sam there, he doesn't share our gossip. Sometimes even joins in." Kat said. "He acts like he hates it but he loves it."

Kat opened the door as Camila chuckled slightly, and then followed her out the door and down the stairs.

"Camila?" Colby called from the kitchen and the two girls made their way in.

"Hm?"

"Card." Colby said, handing her his card. "No accidental shopping sprees."

He looked at Kat as he said that, and all she did was smile embarrassed. "No promises."

"Dont worry, they won't." Sam said, now standing behind Kat and Camila.

"Wheres the girls?" Camila asked, playing with the card.

"Waiting by the door. I was asked to come and get you. Cmon." Sam said, rushing them out the kitchen. "See you later."

"Have fun, Samantha." Colby said, and all he got in return was Sam's middle finger.

Sam drove them all to a fancy sort of diner in a secluded area of LA, it was quiet and there weren't many people around besides from people dressed in fancy clothing. Was this their secret mafia fucking food spot or what?

"What are you gonna get, Cam?" Tara asked, coming to stand beside her as they looked at all the deserts.

"I might just get a sandwich and an ice cream, I could really go with some ice cream right now."

"Oo, honestly same. What flavour you getting?"

"Maybe vanilla, but I feel like that's a bit boring. Oo, raspberry!" Camila quickly got distracted by the vanilla ice cream that had been mixed with red, raspberry ice cream. "I'm gonna get that one."

"I think I'll get chocolate." Tara mumbled, then decided on getting pasta aswell.

They all sat at a very large table outside. Camila didn't know how much time they had spent deciding what to get but when they got back outside, she noticed that a lot more people were surrounding the diner and exploring the small stores on the opposite side.

"Whats over there?" She asked, pointing to one of the fancy looking stores where a lot of people were coming and going.

"Oh, that's the Vault. A super expensive jewellery shop. Real diamonds and everything." Devyn said. "Sam gets them for Kat all the time."

"Sure does." Kat said, a goofy smile on her face as she leaned into his side.

"Thats sweet." Camila said, smiling at their interaction.

Their drinks eventually came, and they all sipped and talked.

"You know whats really is starting to piss me off." Tara started. "That we can't actually leave on our own. I'm sorry, Sam. But it's not like we can go get our nails done or go to a spa or do literally anything with you."

"Maybe one day, Tara." Sam laughed.

"No, actually, I agree! There's five girls now and we are fully capable of defending ourselves..." Kat continued ranting but like at shopping, Camila got distracted.

Coming out of the Vault all alone was the same woman from the decor store the other day. The extremely beautiful woman that was beside Hal, being kissed and loved on in the middle of the store.

Camila glanced down to her hand, or more specifically her ring finger and got a look of the biggest, shimmering diamond on her wedding finger. Was Hal married? Hm, he wasnt handsome enough for this woman.

"Hey-..." Camila said, taking her gaze off of the woman and turning to the group. "Whos that woman?"

They all go where Camila was looking, all of them turned back around quickly and rolled their eyes.

"That's Lisa Warren. Benjamin Warrens wife." Sam muttered. "Shes horrible."

Camila paused.

"Whos, um, Benjamin Warren?"

"Important guy. Little bit lower than us status wise but nevertheless, scary guy." Sam said. "Hey, Hal Harpers one of his guys."

Hal placed a kiss on her cheek, then her lips, then her forehead. Then, Camila watched as he looked around, luckily missing Camilas eyes and instead laying on Sam's figure, but Sam hadn't noticed him.

Hal seemed to get the woman's attention by grabbing her wrist, whispered something in her ear and Camila watched as her eyes changed from happy to nervous. Then she watched as the two left their cart and left the store in a hurry, their heads down.

Camila didnt say a thing. She didnt want to mention something and get herself caught up in whatever this was more than she already had been. She was scared that if she mentioned anything, it would come crashing down on her as karma.

"Cam, you good? Look a bit out of it." Kat said, waving her hand in front of Camilla's face.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine. I'm just hungry-." Luckily, Camila was cut off by two waitresses bringing out their lunch. Saved by the bell.

"So, how do you think the party's gonna go on Sunday?" Kat asked Sam.

"Good, as long as none of you get too drunk." Sam laughed. "Talking to you, Tara."

"Hey!" Tara squealed. "I can handle my drink! You should be talking to Stas."

"No, I think he should be talking to you, Tara." Stas laughed.

"This is bullying." Tara stated, angrily eating her pasta.

Camila snorted, which drew the attention to her. "You nervous for the party, Cam?" Sam asked.

"Kind of, I guess." She replied. "I mean, I guess I've just got to get used to this now, huh?"

Sam gave her a sad smile, as Kat turned to her. "Trust me, it gets better...I was super nervous when I went to one of these parties for the first time."

"You were?"

"Oh, trust me she was. I almost put a muzzle on her so she could stop chewing her nails." Sam said, placing his hand on her thigh.

"Okay, I wasn't that bad." Kat said, rolling her eyes.

"Yes you were." Devyn laughed.

Kat argued with them for ten minutes as they debated whether she was that bad or not, and Camila just watched with a smile on her face.

Maybe this wasn't that bad.
