Crazy In Love (Camren)

Chapter 8

"Laur!" Lauren heard someone called her name. Lauren turned around and saw Dinah with a plate of chicken in her hand. It was another barbeque party at Cabello residence, but this time, they invited all their workers and relatives.

"Let's eat!" Dinah said, nodding towards a table with a certain dark-skinned beauty who was already glaring at her. It was Camila's personal assistant and best friend, Normani. There's no way Lauren could sit with her, remembering their last encounter before. That girl probably hates her.

"Later." Lauren mouthed instead of shouting like Dinah.

Dinah shrugged it off and made her way to Normani as Lauren went to the table full of food. Her eyes wandered around looking for a certain brunette, 'Where is she?' Lauren thought as she took the polyester cup and started to fill water in it.

She thought about what happen a week ago, where she had slapped Camila right in the face. The guilt feeling started to eat her alive and she knows that she has to apologize to that girl.

"Your cup is full." Lauren jumped slightly when someone tapped on her shoulder.

"Oh shit!" Lauren pulled her cup quickly. Her hand was wet because the water spilled a little bit on her hand while she pulled the cup.

"Tissue?" The guy who tapped her earlier handed her a box tissue and Lauren quickly grabbed it and wipe her sticky hand.

"Thanks." Lauren said, thanking him while still wiping her hand.

"You're welcome.. umm, have we met before?" The guy asked and their eyes met. Lauren frowned studying his face before slowly shook her head.

"No. I don't think so." She said and went back inspecting her hand.

"Sorry...maybe it's just me...I mean, your scar reminds me of someone." The guy said, truthfully.

"Oh...Maybe there is a lucky girl with a scar on her face out there like me." Lauren scoffed.

"Well, no offense. Really."

Lauren just nodded her head at that. She didn't know the guy and this is their first time speaking.

"By the way my name is Austin. Austin Mahone." He said, extending his hand, which Lauren quickly shook firmly.

"And your name is?" He asked, since he didn't get her name.

"Lauren. Lauren Jauregui." Lauren nodded.

Austin face went into a thinking face before lit up, "So you're the famous Lauren Jauregui! The one who Demi and Camila always bring up when we're talking!"

Lauren smiles slightly. Camila talks about her. "There's nothing interesting about me to talk about."

"Don't worry, it's all good. They're just talking about the nice things you've done." Austin chuckled.

"Everybody had done a nice thing."

"Nope, not everybody is nice." Austin objected.

"Yeah. But I said, everybody had done nice things in their life. Even the bad people...who knows." Lauren replied.

"Actually, I've never seen you before." Lauren stated.

"I just got transferred here from New York." Austin said.

"And you are a?"

"I'm a chief Inspector."

Lauren froze. Her green eyes met with the Hazel one. She kept the smile on her face, but god knows how fast heartbeat right now. 'Have we met before?' The question echoed in her mind. Maybe they have, but she can't remember.
