Camila's POV
Here we go. I walk out of the terminal and see nothing but crowds of people. How am I supposed to find her!? I look around for a few minutes until I feel a tap on my shoulder.
"Surprise", I hear as soon as I turn around.
"Lauren", I say while smiling like a little kid. "That's me. You look beautiful", she comments. I just laugh because I know I look like shit from having a long flight. But she? She looks like a goddess, but I'll keep that to myself for now.
"Thank you, let's get out of here?" I ask her shyly. She looks around a couple times, probably trying to figure out a good way to get out and avoid the most people.
"Come on", she whispers and grabs my hand to pull me along.
Oh god, she's holding my hand. I'm not going to be able to handle it if she tries to talk to me.
I follow her and she maneuvers around people like she's done this before. Once we get outside the paps and fans swarm around us.
"Do you want to take pictures with fans? Or do you just want to leave?" I hear her yell over all the noise. "I'll take a few pictures so I don't get a bunch of hate, is that okay?" She just nods.
I let go of her hand and take selfie after selfie with fans. After I take pictures with almost everyone there, I walk back to her and tell her I'm ready. She grabs my hand again and starts walking to the car.
"Camila is this your girlfriend?"
"Has she been on tour with you?"
"What's your name girl?"
Lauren just looks at me and laughs because they called her 'girl'. I smile back because I know how obnoxious the paps can get. We finally get to her car. She opens the door for me and waits for me to get in before closing it.
Wow what a sweet thing to do for me. No one ever does things like this for me.
She runs around and hops in before starting it. "Where to?" She asks me. I just shrug, "I dont know wherever you want to go". "Want to grab some dinner at a cafe?" I nod so she backs out and were on our way.
"I'm sorry about all the paps, i dont know how they find out when I'm coming in." I say quietly feeling sort of bad. "It's fine, they make me laugh. As long as they don't touch me or you, I have no problem with them." She says.
"One of them hit me with their camera in LA and big rob, who is my body guard, pushed him over." I say in between my laughing fit. "I would do the same", I hear her say.
"I can't believe we are here together right now. It's crazy because usually I don't really hang out with friends that much. I am always will Dinah because she's on tour with me, and sometimes Mia, but other than that I don't really just hang." I say thinking to myself more than to her.
"Well we can hang whenever you can fit me into that busy schedule", she winks at me, "so who's Mia? I haven't heard about her yet. Dinah was really sweet, but she's kind of scary. She told me to treat you right or I'll get a poky beat down.. What even is that?" She questions while chuckling quietly to herself.
"Dinah is Dinah, don't even worry about it. This is probably weird because I'm still pretty young, and extremely immature, but she's my daughter. I keep her out of the media for the most part, and when I get asked questions I just avoid them. I want her to grow as normal as possible until she understands what's happening, you know?"
"I bet your a great mom honestly, and she's lucky to have you. Does she ever go on tour with you?" She looks over at me and smiles before turning her attention back to the road.
"Yeah she does but only when I stay in the US. She usually stays on the bus with a manager or sometimes when I'm extra busy I get my friend Dinah to hang with her. I try to do as much as I can, but when I have show after show, and a bunch of interviews I can't be there as much as I want." I say while looking out the window.
"I bet it's really hard, but I also bet she has a lot of fun hanging on the bus and being able to be with you when you have off time."
"Yeah. I'm actually getting her tonight from my ex and I can't wait. I haven't seen her in a month." I jump up and down in the seat.
"Do you want me to drive you there?" She asks nervously, "I mean since we're already together."
"If you have time I'd really like that", I smile at her. "Yeah of course I have time, I don't really have a life. Just college, work and sleep." She laughs.
"I bet that's fun, maybe one day I'll get to do that too", I think out loud.
"One day." She whispers. The rest of the car ride is silent, but it's comfortable. When we get to the little cafe, I almost fall out of her Jeep because I forgot it was high off the ground.
"Careful there, do you need help?" She asks trying to keep a straight face. "Ha ha ha, no I don't", I stick my tongue out at her and hop out the car.
"After you", she motions to the door of the cafe.
Maybe I'll keep it together after all, I think to myself and smile.
