Roommates (Camren)

Chapter 9

For the girls of Fifth Harmony, the days were getting longer as the first leg of the recording process started to wrap up. They had less than a week until they were to move out of their LA apartments and hit the road again, so it was crunch time in the studio. More often than not they would be stuck in the studio until the early hours of the morning and all they wanted to do when they got home was crash. They were used to this hectic schedule because of their constant touring, but Lauren was worried that she wouldn't get a night off to spend with Camila before they had to leave.

"We could always sneak away on one of our off days," Camila suggested, licking the last bit of ice cream off her spoon and placing it in her now empty mug with a clink. She was lounging on the kitchen counter, enjoying some late night dessert with Lauren. "Being on tour isn't the end of the world."

Lauren sighed and walked over to the younger girl, situating herself between her legs that hung off of the counter. "I know, but we just have so much more privacy here."

"Yeah, I guess we can't really go back to crawling into each other's bunks now that Ally and Normani know about us," Camila said with a pout, wrapping her arms around Lauren's shoulders.

"We could always request to be hotel roommates," Lauren offered, tucking a lock of hair behind Camila's ear.

"That's not very inconspicuous is it?"

"Well we haven't been very inconspicuous lately. We're getting sloppy," Lauren said with a chuckle. "I think at this point our cover has been blown."

Camila quirked an eyebrow. She didn't expect Lauren to have such a nonchalant attitude towards people knowing about their relationship.

"Are you okay with that?" Camila asked warily. In all of their progressive conversations they'd been having lately, this was one topic she'd been hesitant to broach.

"Well I would rather they didn't find out in such awkward ways, but I'm fine with the girls knowing. I might need a little time before we start telling other people, but I definitely don't want to keep this a secret much longer," Lauren said thoughtfully, gazing into deep brown eyes.

Camila gave her a warm smile. She loved that Lauren was taking steps out of her comfort zone for the sake of their relationship.

"So does that mean you would be okay with me telling Dinah?"

"Yes, of course," Lauren replied, rubbing the tops of her thighs affectionately. Camila's smile grew and she gave Lauren a peck on the lips as a thank you.

"I've been wanting to tell her for a while now. She'll probably be pissed that she was the last to know honestly," said Camila. "And you know she's gonna want all the details."

"That's fine, but you better tell her how great I am in bed," Lauren joked, wrapping her arms around her waist and pressing herself further into the counter to bring them closer together.

"Or I could brag about how I can make you come in less than a minute."

Lauren scoffed in disbelief. "That was one time."

"It still happened," Camila teased, kissing Lauren's pouting lips. "And I'm still telling Dinah."

Lauren rolled her eyes and kissed back, taking her plump bottom lip between her own and trying to squeeze the part of her butt that wasn't pressed to the cool counter.

"Telling me what?" Dinah called, walking into the kitchen. Camila quickly pulled away from Lauren's mouth with a pop and met Dinah's gaze with wide eyes. Dinah was moisturizing her face, but she stopped mid rub when her eyes traveled from the pair's guilty faces to Lauren's hands on Camila's butt. But instead of being shocked liked Camila expected, she just started shaking her head.
