"You asked for me?" Lauren dumbly asked sensing the tension in the air the moment she set foot in Camila's office.

"Uhm, yes. Please have a seat."

As Lauren took a seat, Camila stood up from hers and went to lean on her desk in front of Lauren.

"I'm sorry about the thing you saw Lauren, it was unprofessional and-"

"No no, don't be sorry, I mean it was my fault honestly I should have knocked. I mean it's entirely up to you when it comes to the certain activities you have in your office, I mean it's your office, you can do anything or anyone here- uh I mean yeah."

Lauren mentally gave herself a smack to the forehead after the stupid word vomit.

Camila laughed way too loud that Lauren just put her face in her hands visibly giggling at the scene too.

"Oh my lord haha Lauren word vomit much?"

Now it was Lauren's turn to throw her head back and laugh like no one was watching.


"I'm so sorry Camz but seriously it doesn't matter, I forgot about the scene the moment I left your office, it's all good."

"Thanks Lo, you can get back to work now."

"By the way, she was very beautiful Camz."

-

The workday turned uneventful after that. Lauren made her way to fix her things and then start heading home. As she was fixing her stuff, Camila made her way out of her office with her stuff in tow.

"Call me surprised Camila, heading home early?" Lauren was very astonished with the fact that Camila might leave early. The younger girl always worked over time and sometimes Lauren can't help but wonder if the younger Latina ever got tired.

"I didn't have much left to do anyway so I decided to call it a day. I see you're heading out too, would you like me to take you home?"

"No it's fine. I'm gonna be able to catch the bus around the corner anyway. I don't want to be too much of a hassle to you."

"I insist Lauren. Maybe we should go out to dinner too? Catch up? We've been postponing that catching up we promised each other we'd do."

Lauren smiled brightly at the younger Latina. She was very appreciative of the fact that Camila was at least initiating something to rekindle their friendship regardless of the fact that she was now working for the brown-eyed girl.

"Okay sure. Lead the way Camz."

-

As it turns out Camila hasn't changed one bit. She was still one to choose a regular diner over a fancy ass Italian restaurant even if she was swimming in cash.

"I hope you don't mind eating here. I just haven't been here for awhile and trust me their burgers are to die for."

"I'm good with wherever Camz. I'm just happy to be able to hang out with you outside of work."

"Me too Lo."

A young girl around 17 approached their table and asked for their orders. Her nametag said 'Wendy' and she was way too cheerful at that time of the day.

"Hi I'm Wendy and I'll be your server for today, would you like to order?"

"Are you decided on what you want Lo?"

"I'll have whatever you're having."

"Okay uhm, 2 BLTs with extra cheese sauce and 2 milkshakes one vanilla and one chocolate, make it heavy on the ice cream."
