Chapter 2: mines lauren

I woke up surprisingly in my bunk . Wasn't I just on the bathroom floor with .... Lauren . I turned my head to see Lauren sitting on the floor next to my bunk she was listening to music while reading a book . " I put you there " Lauren startled me. " huh?"

" I said I put you there " Lauren said once again . " you fell asleep on the bathroom floor" she chuckled . " so... I thought I'd be nice and carry you to your bed "

I could feel my cheeks heat up I'm pretty sure I was really red by now . " oh um thanks " I said softly . " aye it was no problem " she admitted before taking out her headphones and sitting next to me . " I wouldn't wanna just leave you there on the bathroom floor , I'd feel bad also, I didn't wanna sleep there either just to comfort you " she smiled . I chuckled at her words before planting a quick kiss on her cheek . Her emerald eyes widened and her cheeks turned bright red. I smiled at her reaction ..... She liked it .

" we better get going " Lauren said, grabbing her book. " big day today " she continued . " right" I smiled .

" finally " Dinah said as we got off the bus . " I thought you two would be in there all day " Dinah sighed .

" please , why would I stay on a boring bus when I can sing with my favorite girls " Lauren said swinging her arms over me and Dinah's shoulders . " indeed " Dinah smiled .

" there you guys are " normani said rolling her eyes . " about time you guys joined us " ally said after . We smiled before walking into the big building . The stage was huge and there were tons of seats so I was definitely expecting a huge crowd tonight .

" you guys should take this time to practice , I'll be over there if you need anything " our manger said before disappearing .

Tonight we were performing miss moving on , one of our hit songs . We went over the song until we got it completely perfect with no mistakes at all .  Whenever Lauren would sing I couldn't keep my eyes off of her . Well I couldn't anytime really , but especially when she would sing . I loved her raspy voice . And the way she sung her expression it looked like she was lost in her own little world whenever she would sing .

A few hours later it was time to perform . We were backstage getting ready when I heard a lot of cheering and people talking . I could feel my heart beating out of my chest and I felt butterflies . I always got a little nervous before performing . " relax " Lauren said putting her hand on my shoulder . " you'll do great , like always " she smiled at me through the mirror and I smiled back . " thanks " I said grinning ear to ear . With that she gave me one last smile and then walked off .

" girls it's time " our manager said . I took a deep breath before entering the stage .

I took a deep breath . Here goes nothing . As soon as I stepped on the stage the room was filled with screaming fans and people yelling our names . Finally the song started and we began to sing . I made sure I sang  each note perfectly , we were dancing around while singing as well . The crowd was roaring with excitement . Some were even singing along . I went over to Lauren and spun her around , and the crowd screamed even louder . I couldn't help but feel confused over their reaction over that little contact me and Lauren had . Me and Lauren then made silly faces at eachother  before she literally danced away .

Finally the song ended . Everyone cheered and clapping . We then exited the stage . I felt proud of myself for not messing up . I heard Lauren and normani laughing I couldn't help but to smile at Lauren's contagious laugh . I loved hearing her laugh . Especially if it's me making her

" guys you ready for the interview? I'll just be needing to ask you a few questions " Chelsea Briggs asked with a plastered smile .

The girls all nodded their heads and followed the well known interviewer to where they were going to answer the questions. Camila took a deep breath as Lauren stood next to her , the emerald eyed girl completely oblivious of how Camila was feeling .

The interviewer asked many questions , each of us answered them honestly , and happily . When finally she asked a partially question that made my heart speed up and my breath caught in my throat . " who's your celebrity crush ?" Chelsea asked reaching out her mic for us to answer the question .

Here was my chance . I could say who I have a crush on which is Lauren without anyone really thinking anything of it , I could make it out as a joke or just being sweet right ? I took a deep breath before doing so . " mines Lauren " the words tumbled off my tongue like I've been practicing the words a million times . My heart sped up as I hoped for the worst , but instead the girls all said awww while Lauren smiled this wonderful smile of hers before pulling me into a tight hug . Finally I could relax . They thought of it as just a sweet gesture nothing more and I was honestly thankful for that .

" well thanks for taking the time to answer my questions " Chelsea said with a grin . " fifth harmony everyone !" She said once more before saying her goodbyes and leaving .

A lot was going through my mind later that day while we were all settled in on the tour bus . What was Lauren thinking ? She hadn't talked to me since that interview and she seemed to be frustrated . I had to talk to her , I had to know what she was thinking . Hopefully , she wasn't thinking that I liked her . Hopefully she didn't know .

" Lauren ?" I said as if she wasn't there . " yea?" She said looking at the book she was reading , while sitting on her bed .

" I'm sorry , I can leave I didn't mean to bother you " I said worried that I was being a bother to the emerald eyed girl .

"No " she said putting her book down . " it's fine , I was done anyways " she continued patting the spot next to her for me to sit to her . I flopped down by her making sure I didn't sit too close . I was afraid if I did she'd be able to hear my heart beating rapidly .

" so what is it that you want ?" She asked with a small smile . Making my cheeks burn with happiness .

" oh , um .. I was just wondering if you were mad at me about the interview?" I took a deep breath . " I swear I was just messing around , I didn't mean it " I said trying to cover up my lie .

She laughed before speaking " camz I know you were playing , and it was sweet actually . If anything you're my celebrity crush as well " she said placing her hand on my shoulder , my skin burning from her touch.

I thought my cheeks were red then I'm pretty sure I looked like a tomato by now . " oh" I sighed . " that's flattering " I giggled .

Lauren connected her eyes with mine . I gave her a shy smile before looking at the ground . I didn't want my eyes giving away what I felt for her . " well , I guess I better be going " I said standing up and heading for the door . " it was a nice talk " I huffed at my stupidity . Nice talk ? God Camila get it together .

" I like you Camila " Lauren said stopping me in my tracks . " and I know you like me to , since the day we've met , I know you're scared to admit it I was to , but now I know If there's a chance we could be anything , id like to take it . Only if you are to . "

At that moment I felt like I was gong to drop dead right there at the scene . Lauren likes me ? And she's known I've liked her this whole time . I couldn't think of anything intelligent to say , so instead I opened the door looked back at her once more " yea , me to " I smiled

Then left the emerald eyed girl happier than ever .
