stubborn love [c.l]

15.

The place that Lauren had chosen was elegant and refined, for a moment Camila felt a little 'uncomfortable, she was not used to go to those restaurants, but after looking around for a moment, she found herself appreciating the romantic atmosphere. The lights were dimmed and a pretty centerpiece on each table was laid with a lighted candle.

Something very poetic, she had to admit.

"Our table is not ready yet." Lauren informed with a smile "Do you want a drink first?" She suggested pointing with one hand the little bar.

"Why not." Camila said "We still have to wait for Ariana and Allyson."

Camila pushed aside the stool to allow her to sit down. She saw the green eyed sitting beside her and call the waiter with one hand.

"Take whatever you want." Lauren assured her noticing the indecision "It's a family friend, she will bring us everything we want."

Camila was pleasantly surprised and decided to take advantage of that "A Martini then."

The waiter served them drinks, seasoning them with a charming smile and a compliment that made Lauren giggle when she realized that Camila had not appreciated that much.

"She's right though, you really are fabulous tonight" Lauren continued.

The Latina thanked the soft lights, because her cheeks caught fire instantly, forcing her to lower her eyes. She was Camila Cabello, she didn't blush at nothing and no one but a single word or gesture from the girl and she turned into a pile of mush.

"T-thank you." She said.

"Oh look." Lauren finally said "They're coming."

Camila turned to the entrance and noticed that Ariana and Ally were looking around, trying to find them.

"And our table is ready. Let's go."

The Latina nodded and got off the stool, accepting the hand that the green eyed was holding out.

Camila jumped by surprise when Lauren encircled her waist with one arm, leading her to the table that had been assigned to them. She was still a bit 'unprepared for those contacts, especially in front of other people, and Ariana and Ally were with them ... but the two did not seem to have noticed.

"Here's to you." The waitress said handing to each of them a menu, before smiling and leaving.

After a few minutes of silence, Ally leaned toward her friend "What have you decided to take?"

"I think I'll take the fish." Ariana finally said.

"You have chosen?" The short girl looked at the other two.

Lauren nodded with a smile and turned to stare at Camila who was still trying to read the list. The Latina was shocked by the cost of those meals.

"There is nothing that you like?"

"No, no ... I'm just quite indecisive." Reassured the Latina, which was quite true.

The waitress returned a few seconds later and took from her pocket the order pad.

"Are you ready to order or do you want me to come back in a few minutes?"

Three heads turned immediately toward Camila while she closed the menu with a smile, raising her face to the girl.

"We are ready." She announced.

The food arrived faster than they expected.

"This sauce is truly paradise." Allyson said. "You've got to taste it."
