Should've Been Us (Camren)

"Tonight was amazing, but I should probably be getting home so I can get some sleep before work." Lauren stood and walked to the bathroom. She looked in the mirror, rubbing the love bites left behind, and smirked. With haste, she put her clothes back on, and returned to the room to leave a sweet kiss on Normani's lips. "Call me." Lauren waved and left the hotel room. The drive home was made in pure silence. Lauren needed time to process what she had just done. Part of her felt like she should have heard Camila out. What if she had just made the wrong decision?

She arrived home at about midnight, when she got to her door, Camila was standing outside of it. "Where have you been Lauren? I've been sitting outside your door for hours." Lauren pushed past the woman to unlock her door. "I was with Mani." She answered shortly. "Did you sleep with her again?" Camila barely whispered. She didn't answer, she only slipped in her apartment, closing and locking the door. The brunette took Lauren's silence as a 'yes' and immediately broke into tears. Camila didn't know what else to do, so she called Dinah, hoping she'd be awake.

The call was answered after about five rings. Dinah's tired voice came through the receiver, and the brown eyed woman had a meltdown, telling her everything that had happened. Dinah told her friend not to worry about it, and that she'd talk to Lauren about it later on. Camila spent the night curled up in a ball crying. Lauren had cheated on her. And for what? The brunette genuinely didn't know what caused Lauren to do such a horrendous thing. Too tired to think about it any longer, she succumbed to sleep.

Several hours later, a thunderous banging could be heard throughout Lauren's apartment, pulling the green eyed woman from her dreams. She looked at the clock, wondering who the hell could be visiting her at such an early hour. Looking through the peephole she spied Dinah on the other side. Quickly unlocking the door, she greeted the Tongan. "Hey Dinah what are y-" Dinah's fist met with Lauren's mouth, blood trickling from the corner. "What the hell Di-" Dinah viciously shoved the smaller woman to the floor. The crazed Tongan picked Lauren up off the ground by her shirt and suspended her in the air. "You need to talk to Camila. You fucking hurt her and she didn't even do anything to you." Dinah said through a clenched jaw.

"Yeah but she..." Dinah's eyes bore through Lauren's eyes and straight into her soul, scaring Lauren tremendously. "Yeah, but nothing. You will talk to her, or I'ma have to come back and really fuck you up." Lauren gulped audibly and Dinah let go of her shirt, sending her crashing to the floor. The taller woman adjusted her shirt and made her exit. Lauren stayed on the floor, trying to make sense of everything that just took place. The blonde had said Camila did nothing? But Mani told Lauren that a kiss had happened. So what is the truth? The dark haired woman put on pants, as well as her shoes. There was only one thing she could do to solve this problem.

Finding herself in front of Camila's door, she took a deep breath. The two of them couldn't keep doing this. It seemed as though every other week there was a different problem. This time, Lauren needed to work things out for good. She pounded on the door, hoping the brunette was still home. Since she normally works early in the morning, she could be gone already. Lauren heard stomping and muffled profanities before she flung the door open angrily. When Camila saw Lauren standing there, her rage intensified. "What the fuck are you doing here at four thirty in the morning, waking me up?" Lauren stood there unable to speak. She had never seen Camila so angry before.

"Are you going to say something? Or are you going to stand there like a slab of meat?" Camila was about to slam the door in the older woman's face but Lauren held her arm out to stop it. "Wait. I came to apologize." Camila laughed at her response. "This couldn't have waited until a decent hour?" Lauren shrugged her shoulders. "Not exactly." The brunette squinted her eyes, inspecting Lauren's mouth from her spot behind the door. "What the hell happened to your face?" She really hoped Camila wouldn't notice. "Dinah. She uh... She kind of kicked my ass." Lauren answered sheepishly.
