stubborn love [c.l]

9.

Her father warned her that they were having guests for dinner, in a second she had seen fade all her projects.

Camila saw Mr.Ortega enter, she had begun to smile when she saw behind him his wonderful son. The Latina couldn't forget the dear Juan, he had attracted her that famous Sunday. But apparently the guy was pretty elusive, he was never able to speak more than a few minutes guarded by that hawk of his father.

She was not hearing a single word of what they were saying. She was too busy looking the deep blue eyes of Juan, unfortunately for her, she wasn't able to stop thinking about Lauren, black hair, strawberry lips, green eyes ....

"Why don't we let these guys know each other better?" Alejandro said. "Camila take the young Juan in the garden"

"Why not." Camila said with a smile.

"It's a pleasure." The boy stood up.

As they were heading for the back door, the Latina had to immediately expel the sharp image of a black haired girl from her mind.

Lauren sat on Alex's legs, with her chin resting on his shoulder and a really adorable sullen expression.

"I really thought she wanted to kiss me .." Lauren muttered discouraged "I desired that immensely."

Alex smiled and shook his head slightly "With Camila things are not always as they seem." He explained.

"She's bad." The green eyed continued.

"Many people say this." He laughed tenderly stroking her back.

"What must I do, Alex?" She asked hiding her face in his neck.

"I don't know, Lo." The boy said sincerely "What do you want?"

"I don't know ..." She muttered.

"You know you can be honest with me, don't be ashamed to tell me what you want."

Lauren stayed silent for a few minutes.

"I want to feel her lips again." She said with complete confidence.

"Well you have a point, Camila Capello may be a bitch, but she has some really fantastic lips."

"Yeah ..." muttered the girl gathering her thoughts "Actually, Alex." She began raising her head from her friend's shoulder to look at him "I want her."

Alex laughed finding absolutely lovely the simplicity with which she had told him that. Like it's a normal thing that a girl who's sitting on his legs, it's talking about how she craves to go to bed with the girl, who made life impossible for most of the teens of Miami High School.

"Then go get her Lau." He said simply.

"How?" Complained the girl. "She avoids me and when we remain alone she treats me this way so, so-" She couldn't even find the words.

"Show her what she's missing." He said with a smile "Tomorrow, when you go to practice for Cheerleading show her what she could have but that you are no longer willing to give her."

Lauren smiled, looking him straight in the eyes "Do you think that will work?"

"Why it shouldn't?" He asked rhetorically "Show her who you are."

She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his neck again, thankful to have found a real friend in so little time.
