Beautiful When You Don't Try

Chapter 76

           

Lauren tucked her head down in her shoulders as Camila and Kevin caught sight of each other and ran to embrace while squealing loudly in their excitement, causing half the passing travelers to stare. Even the typical New Yorkers were caught off guard by the strange noises they were emitting.

"And you're marrying her." Alejandro teases as he hugged Lauren, leaving the other two to themselves.

"And you already married him."

He shrugged. "The things we do for love."

"We are such suckers." She teased back and hugged the man before moving over to Kevin who threw his long arms around her and lifted her in the air in his excitement.

"I can't believe it's almost here!"

"I know but it's still taking too damn long!" She stated, mocking his excitement.

"Lauren is having issues waiting and even threatened to force me into eloping." Kevin gasped as he set the brunette down.

"You did not." His face was of pure shock and terror.

"No. I didn't. She's being dramatic as always. All I said was that I wish I could throw her in the car, drive to Connecticut, and go to the courthouse to sign the certificate and then have the wedding. I never tried to do it nor threatened her with it." Kevin's facial expression didn't change.

"It's the same thing to their ears." Alejandro responded as they headed to pick up the men's luggage. "So, what is on the agenda for today?" He asked as he released his daughter so she could sign a few autographs from some fans who had run up to them. Lauren had become so accustom to them that she hardly even noticed anymore, unless of course, there were a dozen or more like right now. They were almost always polite and cheerful, and very respectful. However, there had been a few instances where she had to play body guard when they grew loud or big, guiding the tiny woman away.

"It's just going to be a relaxing day." Lauren explained while smiling at the quick glances she was receiving from the fans who snapped pictures randomly, never letting on that she was watching for Camila's safety in the large group. "Mom is coming over for lunch. Meg and Kim are dropping off a few things to try and keep us occupied the day when we are all split up."

"A few things?" Kevin asked with an arched eyebrow.

"I have no idea, but I'd say they're probably alcohol based with my best guest."

"Lauren Jauregui, you will not be drunk the day before our wedding." Camila stated with authority, gaining a few snickers from her fans.

"I never said I was. But you have to look at who's going to be there with me. That's one hell of a combination. Ally, Harry, Normani, Meg and my mother. Alcohol is going to be a necessity."

"There will be no sex in that house either."

Lauren shook and cringed. "No. There won't be. I'll keep Mom on the lookout for that."

"Just make sure you tell her it isn't limited to gender."

The brunette rolled her eyes as she took the diva's hand while Camila waved goodbye to the group. "I'm sure she's use to that fact by now. Scarily enough, she's even developed a bit of a gaydar from what she says. She said it's easy to tell anymore from being around all of us. She just gets a certain 'vibe' and knows."

"God I love that woman."

Alejandro cleared his throat. "Speaking of mothers... when is Sinu getting in?"

"Day after tomorrow." Lauren answered with reservation in her voice. "She has accepted the undeniable fact that Alex and Harry are going to meet, so she would prefer it not be the day of the wedding. She's going to bring her over to the apartment to meet him. It's still up in the air if she will be stopping by the hotel."
