Ineffable (Camren)

Tenerife Sea

Lauren was scrolling through photos of their red carpet outfits from the Teen Choice Awards. Her eyes couldn't help but automatically fall to Camila, who wore a tight black, off the shoulder dress that complimented her figure perfectly.

Her hair was a little wild but Lauren liked it that way. Just as she was about to zoom into the photo, the escalade stopped and Lauren immediately locked her phone. Camila had been avoiding her since her little confession.

Lauren tried to interact with her but Camila just didn't react. In fact she hadn't spoken to Lauren all day. Even during their Takeover episode they kept their distance and Lauren was aware it was because of Camila's admission earlier in Lauren's trailer.

Their flashmob had gone really well. They had a thousand screaming fans show up and dance to Bo$$ with them, which made the day even more surreal.

Lauren sighed and leaned back in her chair. Her energy was wearing off now that she was sitting down comfortably. The last thing she wanted was to fall asleep, especially because she needed to make sure her and Camila were okay. She didn't want something from their past to influence their future, especially considering how far they'd come with their friendship.

They had a lot of fun over the past month in interviews and radio shows together. Neither of them ever brought up what happened in High School until Lauren asked Camila today about whether she masturbated over her all that time ago. Lauren didn't regret it. She was glad to have an official answer from the source even though she always knew her suspicions were correct.

Her eyes began to flutter shut when she felt a soft hand run across the top of her head. She opened her eyes and saw Camila staring at her. She had turned slightly in her seat and her chin was resting on her arm which stretch across the back of it.

Lauren returned a lazy smile. She knew Camila wouldn't be able to avoid her forever. Particularly since in about twenty minutes they'd be having another closet session. The feeling of Camila's fingers gently caressing her head brought back memories from five months ago, when Camila had touched her the same way.

"Hey guys it's Candice, we are here in the studio with an RDMA Q&A with Fifth Harmony —"

"Hello!" Lauren said in a robotic voice. Dinah hooted while the other girls clapped. Camila massaged the tops of each of the girls heads, stretching out her arm in order to reach Lauren. All of them stared at her strangely for a moment before smiling back at the host. They'd gotten used to Camila's odd behaviour.

"— I'm gonna give you guys some RDMA questions but the only trick is you guys have five seconds to answer each."

"Oh god," Lauren replied. Normani and Dinah made faces towards the camera to convey their nervousness, while Ally turned to the host confused.

"Wait. So one second each?" She asked.

"Super quick," Candice replied.

To Lauren's satisfaction the questions were heavily focused on the RDMA's and music in general. They answered who they'd like to thank, all agreeing on friends, family and God.

"Artists you'd like to see perform at the RDMA's..."

"Ariana would be cool to watch," Camila answered after a moment of thought.

"Beyonce!" Normani added.

"Justin Timberlake!" Ally shouted as well.

"2 Chainz," Dinah added quietly and Lauren was the first to react.
