The Substitute// Camren

Chapter 32

Lauren wrapped the towel around her recently washed hair and checked her phone, before quickly putting on the clothes she picked out. She chose to be casual, some light ripped jeans, white shirt, red flannel, and her white high-top converse. She untagled her hair before messing with it for a little bit, deciding the small waves was the best it was going to get. She made her way to her couch and picked the movies she was going to watch with Camila as Chris came into view. "Hey, what are you doing?" He asked. "Picking movies to watch with Camila." Lauren said not looking at him. "And you're going to watch chic flicks?" Chris said shaking his head as he inspected the small pile Lauren had next to her. "Camila likes them." Lauren said easily. "Hm..watch something scary, that'll get her on top of you real quick." Chris said with a smirk. "I don't need a movie to get her on top of me." Lauren said without thinking. Once she realized what she said she couldn't even bear to turn to look at Chris, already knowing the smirk that was destined to be on his face. "I di-didn't, i-it wasn't like that." Lauren tried to justify as she turned to look at him, and indeed saw the smirk she was expecting. Chris put his hands up with a laugh. "Don't hurt yourself Lauren. I don't blame you. With a girlfriend like that..." Chris trailed off with a smirk that was wiped clean as Lauren tossed a DVD case straight at his face. "Shut the hell up Chris." Lauren grumbled. "Geez. I'm only kidding. I'm going out anyways." Chris said rubbing the top of his head where it hit. Lauren smiled when her mom walked in.

"And just where do you think you're going young man?" Clara asked. "I'm hanging with the team." Chris said and Clara waved him off. "And what about you?" Clara asked Lauren. "Karla is coming over." Lauren said avoiding her mom's eyes. She just knows her mother has an 'I told you so' smirk. "So much for being so against meeting her." Clara said with a laugh. "I already told you mom, we were dating before you set us up." Lauren said with an eye roll. "Yeah yeah." Clara waved her off and was about to walk out of the room before being stopped by Lauren. "Mom, I need your help." Lauren said seriously. "With what mija." Clara asked. "How should I ask Camila to go to Prom with me?" Lauren asked and Clara smirked. "I'm taking her out tomorrow, and I want to do it then." Lauren said. "Well...how are you going to ask her?" Clara asked. "I don't know." Lauren sighed in frustration and Clara smiled sympathetically. "What does Camila like?" Clara asked. "Um..she likes me?" Lauren said and Clara smacked her upside the head. "Well of course she likes you, you big goof. What else?" Clara asked with a laugh. "She likes the really romantic things." Lauren said with an adoring smile as Clara's phone went off. "Okay sweetie i have to take this, but we'll talk about this later. Karla is coming over right now correct?" Clara asked and Lauren nodded. "Okay, the fridge is restocked so feel free to eat whatever you want. I have to go, tell her I said hello." Clara said making her way towards the door. Clara opened the door and came face to face with a nervous Camila. "Oh, Hi Karla!" Clara said with a wide smile and Camila returned it. "Hello Mrs.Jauregui, sorry if i startled you i was just about to knock." Camila explained and Clara cut her off. "What did I say about calling me Mrs.Jauregui Karla?" Clara said with a pointed look. "Right, sorry Clara." Camila said with a charming smile. "Good, Lauren's waiting for you in the movie room honey." Clara said pointing towards the living room. Camila smiled before walking into the house.

Lauren looked up and smiled widely when she noticed Camila. Lauren placed a light kiss on Camila's lips. Camila smiled widely in response. "I love you." Lauren whispered into Camila's ear. Camila smiled before whispering an 'i love you too'. "So what are we doing?" Camila asked when Lauren guided her to the couch. "You and I are gonna cuddle here, watch your favorite movies, and eat these." Lauren said gesturing to the table filled with all kinds of candies, banana's for Camila, and ice cream. "Babe, why did you do all of this?" Camila asked with a smile and Lauren just stared at her before smiling. "Because I love you." Was all she said. Camila wanted to die right then and there, Lauren was truly amazing. Camila made her way over to the table with excitement. "You do too many sweet things for me." Camila said while grabbing all the candy she could, literally, she had 3 bags of skittles and 2 of starbursts in one hand, 2 banana's and a popsicle on the other, and bag of sour patch kids hanging from her mouth. Lauren shook her head at the adorable, and struggling, Camila. "Need some help babe?" Lauren asked with a laugh and Camila playfully glared before nodding her head. Lauren dipped a little to take the bag of sour patch from Camila's mouth with her own, and smirked a little when Camila's eyebrow raised up. She set the bag down on the couch before patting the space next to her on the couch. Camila did as told and went to cuddle up to Lauren as she pressed play on the first movie.
