The RoomMate (Camren)

Chapter Sixteen

"Let's get to work then, shall we?"

For the first time in a few months, Lauren was looking forward to starting a project, mainly because she knew that she would get to do it with the brown eyed girl by her side.

"I'll just have another quick nap, first," Lauren smiled, flopping down onto the sofa face down and closing her eyes.

"Nuh uh, no, get up," Camila said, slapping the older girls bottom.

"Owww!" Lauren whined, turning back over and pouting at the younger girl who stood there with a smirk on her face.

"Get up then," The brown eyed girl, demanded, turning around and clearing the coffee table. "Get your stuff," Camila said, quickly disappearing into the kitchen then returning empty armed.

"Fine," Lauren huffed, standing up and walking into her room, collecting her laptop, notepad and colouring supplies.

"Good girl, maybe I'll kiss you later," Camila smirked, sitting down on the floor and running a hand through her hair.

"Why not now?" Lauren pouted, setting her stuff down.

"Because I said so," Camila firmly said, "Now start, what should I do?" The brown eyed girl asked, grabbing the notepad and flipping it open randomly.

Lauren began explaining the process that she normally went through when creating something for a company.

"Jott down some words that can usually associate with music and also some images. Sketch them or just write them. Think of colour coordinations that might work and match with each other. What else?"

After hearing the on going list of what she had to work on, Camila realised that Lauren hadn't planned on doing any work herself.

"And what are you going to do?" Camila asked, cutting Lauren off as she was about to go into detail about catchy jingles.

"I planned on sleeping," Lauren smiled, laying back down.

"Laaaurreennnn!" Camila complained, moving so that she was right next to Lauren's ear, startling her.

"But I'm tired," Lauren yawned, facing Camila and staring into the deep brown eyes.

"Oh well," The younger girl chirped, bumping noses with the older girl and dragging her off the sofa so that she landed on the floor with a thump. Instead of complaining, Lauren just laid on the floor, staring up at the ceiling and pouting.

"You can't just lay there," Camila said, poking Lauren's side who still remained lifeless.

"Yes I can," The green eyed girl retaliated.

"But you have work to do," The younger girl said, pausing from poking Lauren momentarily.

"I don't want toooo!" The older girl whined.

"Well you asked for it," Camila said.

"Asked for wh...?" Lauren was cut off as Camila suddenly jumped on top of her and began digging her fingers into Lauren's sides, tickling her viciously as the older girl was squirming underneath her, trying, but to no avail, to push the younger girl off her.

"Please... stop..." Lauren gasped, in a vain attempt to keep Camila's hands still.

"I will if you promise me that you'll start working," The brown eyed girl said, pausing for a moment then continuing tickling Lauren.

"Okay... fine!" Lauren huffed.

"You didn't promise!" Camila shouted.

"I... promise!" Lauren shouted back, taking in a deep breath once Camila had finally stood up. "Okay, you do the jingle, I'll draw," The older girl said, sitting up straight and smoothing out her hair. After about twenty minutes of Lauren trying different images for the mascot, Camila still had a blank page in front of her.
