Blindsided

Chapter 4

Camila held little Brooklyn in her arms as they walked into the Cabello property. The size of her mansion could not be described, and the endless amount of people who showed up looked like they were the poster models for high-class elite companies like Vineyard Vines or even Louis Vuitton. Knowing the Cabello's, some guests were no doubt apart of the expensive industry.

Lauren had her hand on the small of Camila's back, gently guiding her as the stunned crowd almost raided them. Years felt like centuries for Camila's absence, and with the green eyed girl serving the country, many were glad she was alive and well.

The "couple" was pulled apart almost immediately when they stepped into the backyard. Kids occupied the large infinity pool while the adults all seemed to be making small talk with each other at the tables all around the grass area. A small band took the stage, playing typical jazz music as the elder crowd took up the dance floor.

A lot of talk eventually emerged thirty minutes into their arrival. Many people were stunned that they were there, but more stunned about the fact that they showed up together.

No one had a clue that they were a couple, let alone having a kid together. Camila heard some dumb remarks about how they were so young still, but brushed it off when she saw Lauren holding Brooklyn protectively as she talked to Zayn and some old friends.

"No way!" Sofi nearly screamed at the sight of her sister, "I heard people say you were here b-but I couldn't believe it until I saw you myself!" She squeezed the taller girl.

"Look at you Sof," Camila held her sisters cheeks. "You must be getting all them boys."

"HA," Sofi playfully rolled her eyes. "Dad never approved any boy I brought over. Ever since you left he refused to let me date anyone until I'm sixty."

"Still sounds like Alejandro," Camila scoffed out. "You look so grown up."

"Mija?" The sound of her two parents gasping sent chills through her spine.

"Mama? Papa?" Camila turned around at her aged parents, noticing the difference of what five years can do.

"Come here!" Alejandro held his arms wide as his daughter running towards them, resulting a group hug for the first reunion.

Alejandro and Sinu asked about how Camila spent the last several years and apologized for the way they treated her, never wanting her to leave again. In return, Camila played along letting all the lies spill out of her like it was nothing.

When Brooklyn ran up to her exclaiming "Mommy!" really loud, she had no choice but to introduce the little girl to her grandparents. Camila was surprised when they took her in so lovingly, showering the five year old with attention and last minute presents that they sent out the butler to get.

On the other hand, throughout the first two hours Lauren was completely exhausted from talking about serving in the Air Force.

When the green eyed girl spotted out her fake wife through the crowded party, she noticed Camila in a uncomfortable looking state as she talked to her old friends.

She excused herself from the older couple she was talking to before joining Camila's side, resting a soft hand on the small of her back.

"Hey Kendall, nice to see you again." Lauren smiled sweetly. "Gigi, Hailey." She nodded to the two girls behind Kendall. Just like back in high school, the trio were never seen without one another. Usually the Jenner would lead them around doing obnoxious things and it seemed like nothing has changed.

"I heard you two have a kid together," Kendall rolled her eyes. "Funny how we're twenty three years old and you guys have a family while we were just offered positions as Victoria Secret models. Crazy how different our lives are."
