The RoomMate (Camren)

Chapter 2

"Hi, I'm Camila,"

Lauren look at the girls outstretched hand. "Oh right," The green eyed girl nervously giggled. What had gotten into her?! "I'm Lauren," She internally cursed herself for acting so... childish. "Why are my hands getting clammy?" Lauren thought, rubbing them on the side of her black jeans.

"Well, come in, come in," Camila ushered Lauren inside, holding the door open maybe to sneak a look at the mysterious girls bum, maybe not.
As Lauren turned around to face Camila, she saw the girls head quickly snap up and her cheeks redden. The dark haired girl considered bringing it up but just smirked as she followed Camila into the apartment.

The walls were painted white with various paintings and quotes hung around, either in frames or stuck up by tape. The living room had a beige/cream coloured sofa in the middle of the room and a matching arm chair to the left of it. A glass coffee table with a notebook and pen place upon it was inbetween the sofa and large television. To the corner of the room there was a large glass window with a beautiful view of New York which Lauren instantly fell in love with. Then she noticed the pine guitar propped up against the glass.

"You play?" The porcelain skinned girl asked, brooding interest.

"Hmm?" Camila questioned, she was obviously focusing on something else.

"The guitar, do you play it?" Lauren asked, repeating her question.

"Oh, sometimes but I'm not very good at it," She spoke, playing with her fingers. "Do you?" Camila inquired. Lauren furrowed her eye brows.

"Play guitar," She finished

"Yeah, a bit," Lauren replied. She scolded herself internally again for acting like a love sick teenager. For goodness sake she'd just gotten out of a two year relationship with someone, she should be locked up in her room blasting music through her headphones. That was when she realised that her room was with Dinah and that option was now gone.

"Hey, are you alright?" Camila asked, snapping Lauren out of her thoughts, "You kind of zoned out for a bit," The green eyed girl just gently nodded, putting on a small fake smile.

Camila carried on the tour of the apartment and Lauren was impressed. The kitchen was connected to the living room with white tiling and granite work places, and if she were to take the offer, her room was divine as well. Everything was already furnished, bed, wardrobe, cupboard, small cabinet and a desk. The small window, along with the one in the living room, also had a spectacular view.

After the tour, the two girls sat down and began to discuss the plans. Camila sat cross legged on the sofa while Lauren took a seat on the arm chair, quietly sipping the coffee that Camila had made for her.

"So do you like it?" The brown eyed girl asked, looking up from her hot chocolate she had been focusing on intently.

"Pardon?" The dark haired girl asked, putting her coffee down and running a hand through her hair, obviously distracted again by her situation with Dinah.

Camila looked at her with soft eyes. "Listen, I know it's not really my problem but you just seem kind of upset or distracted about it... I mean if you were to move in I guess..."

The green eyed girl looked at the delicate brown eyes and felt a wave of sadness rush over her, she felt the tears brimming again but didn't try to hide it. Lauren felt safe where she was in that moment. She brung her legs up to her chest and started bawling her eyes.

"She... she cheated on me," The green eyed girl managed to choke out. Camila couldn't believe what she had just heard "she,". A slight smile crept up onto the corners of her mouth but realised the situation so moved over to the sobbing girl and held her in her arms, gently stroking her silky hair. "Damn her hair is soft," Camila thought, "It will be okay," She gently spoke, holding the shaking girl in her arms.

"It will be okay," Camila whispered again, in a hushed tone.
