Chapter 13

Lauren's POV

After landing, we went straight to the hotel. Everyone was pretty tired from the plane ride even though it was 9 pm our time, but it was even earlier in LA as it was 6 pm. We checked into the hotel and went to our rooms. The girls were all in one room, the dancers in another, and the moms were in the another. Five girls in a room? This meant chaos. There were only two queen beds, fitting two people in each so one of us had to sleep on the pull out bed from the couch. We played nose goes and Ally of course lost. So, we were planning on Normani and I in a bed and Dinah and Camila in the other until Dinah wanted to switch and be with Normani.

    I blushed at the fact that Camila and I were going to be sleeping in the same bed together. We've done it before but in middle school which was years ago. Now, we're grown and me having a condition, have grown down there. I was kind of nervous about poking her or something. I was nervous with any of my friends even sometimes Keana but Camila was a little different. I know morning wood and even nighttime erections was natural and of course they've seen it before, but just being next to Camila in bed with it sort of freaked me out. I knew it was silly because it wasn't like I was going to impregnate her or whatever but it was weird. And I didn't know why it was just her specifically. Maybe because my feelings toward her haven't gone away completely or I don't know, but it was different. Perhaps I should have slept on the pull out bed? But the thought of sleeping with Camila also excited me. The feelings were still there and maybe it wouldn't be so bad sleeping next to her. I would just keep my distance and not cuddle up to her.

    I still had a crush on Camila. I still had feelings for her even though she didn't have feelings for me back. They were deep down too and obviously not as strong as my feelings for Keana, but they were there. And they came out a little bit when we were talking on the plane. After she told me that I was her inspiration and how much she admired me, I was speechless. I was overcome with emotions I haven't had in a while. I didn't know how she got that out of me but she did. And I'm glad I proposed the idea of wanting to hang out with her just her and I again. I missed her so much. I would try to keep my feelings pretty hidden but I couldn't help but sometimes look at her with admiration as well. She was so beautiful, smart, and sweet. She could make my whole day and today she did just how she talked about me with such passion and kindness. I wasn't in love with her, hell, I wasn't in love with my own girlfriend, but Camila was really something. We have something together that I don't have with anybody else. I wasn't quite sure what is was yet but it was definitely special.

'    After we unpacked and got settled, we went out to eat for a late dinner and walked around LA, stopping by Universal Studios and City Walk. It was nice as I'd never been there before. I could get used to living here if we got signed. Tomorrow we planned to go see some more of the city but were pretty tired and wanted to sleep. And we did just that once we got back to the hotel.

    When I woke up, it was about 9 am and all the other girls were still asleep. Thank God because I did in fact wake up hard, not very but still hard. But even better that I wasn't cuddled up to Camila who was right there next to me. We kept a good distance through the night. I was brought out of thoughts once I felt Camila stir awake.

    "Good morning, Laur," she greeted in her morning voice which was so sexy. Oh God, stop thinking about that, Lauren. Remember Little Lauren is awake too.

    "Good morning, Camz," I smiled while blushing.

    "Ready for today?" she asked with a shy grin.

    "Definitely. You?"

    "Oh yeah," she giggled.

    We got up when the rest of the girls started to wake up and get ready. We put on comfortable clothes before we actually had to change into our dresses which wasn't for another four hours. The hotel served us complimentary breakfast and so we all dug into waffles, pancakes, eggs, omelets, and of course bacon. The girls and I hung around in the hotel room until around 1 pm and we started packing up to go to the Warner Bros. Studios.
