If I Stay (Lauren/Camila/You)

Chapter 37

As you and the girls continued to render throughout the lengthy mall, Camila continued to rest her hand against your chest comfortably. It wasn't annoying as it use to be, she'd let you go insisting you to go wander certain stores you found interesting or go talk to Shay and the rest of the girls. But you'd always find a way back to the same position you were before the release, it was comforting to have joyful and blooming spirit around you. Shay also didn't seem to notice which was relieving, shes probably assuming its just friendly gestures which it was.. right?

"Um Y/n?" Camila piped noticing how quiet you were for a period of time. You looked down at her and quirked a brow up. "I never got to thank you for buying me that book.." She trailed off pushing strands of her hair away from her face and tucking them behind her ear. The aroma of coconut mango shampoo sifting under your nose hair, causing you to shut your eyes as you took in the contagious smell.

"So thank you." A blush conquered her cheeks when she looked up with her big chocolate orbs admiring you contently. You shrugged and gave her a purposeful smile. "No need. I wanted too.''

Her smile only grew wider at your words, you could see the bottom and top row of her white glistening teeth reflecting upon you. "It was sweet." she said quietly, tugging at the waistline of her skirt to pull it up more. "You're sweet." Her face flickered back to yours as her bottom lip tucked under her upper lip. Before she had a chance to respond you heard the familiar rasped voice call out for you.

"Hey Chimp?" You turned towards the green eyed girl and furrowed your eyebrows questionably. When Lauren realized she caught your attention and interrupted the moment you were having with the other Latina a tiny smirks plays on her lips. Camila stood behind you with her head hanging low.

"Can you help me pick out some things in Victoria Secret?" She batted her eyelashes at you innocently and used her pointer finger to point to the store behind her. Camila's eyes quickly dart towards you with worry stringing in her veins. You rub the back of your neck awkwardly and look around for the other girls.

"Can't you ask Dinah or Normani? Their more of an expertise in this category." Lauren doesn't seem very satisfied with your answer. She stares at you momentarily and then wraps her attention to the brunette hiding behind you. When the brunette realizes Lauren was eyeing her inquiringly, Camila's stomach ties tightly together and she steps away from you a little. You furrow your eyebrows at the distance brown eyed girl who was rubbing her arm uncomfortably. Before you had a chance to approach her Lauren spoke up again.

"I want you to help me." Her voice emphasized the word 'you'. You glance over to the green beauty standing over on the staircases and give her an unsure look. "Besides the girls are already inside. If you help me find them you can come back out here." You nod slowly, "Okay hold on one minute."

Lauren's face lights up with pride and a smirk daring onto her lips. You walk over to the other brunette whom was standing there awkwardly, before you had a chance to ask her she interrupted. "I'm okay." She quipped shaking her head. You nod slowly and kick the dust under your shoes.

"You want to come in there with me?" You offered hoping her answer would be a yes but she immediately shakes her head 'no'. "I think I'll just wait out here." You frown at her answer and stand there momentarily. "Okay ill be back in a little." She nods her head once. You lean in and leave a lingering kiss on her forehead before walking towards Lauren.

When you reach Lauren she raises a brow at you before rolling her eyes and walking into the store. You follow her lead behind her as she walks into the bra and underwear section. She stops at a row of hung up bras and eyes them questionably. You advert your eyes away from all the scenery around you and rock your feet up and down.
