CAMILA CABELLO POV

Two days later...
As I walked down Downtown Miami, the song All I Want by Kodaline ran through my head.
I hummed the tune of the song, walking into the liquor store at 3pm. Tonight was the night that I would meet Zayn and have dinner with the girls at Laurens and Allys apartment.

I went down the rows of liquor when I finally found what I was looking for, heading up to the counter and placing the liquids onto it. The guy who worked there looked to be in his early 20s, and was eying me the entire time he was checking my items out. "Do you wanna ask me something, or are you just gonna stare?" I asked with an eyebrow up.

"Where's your boyfriend? or do you not have one?" He says confidently.

"I don't have one."

"You could have one." He says as he opens the cash register, "My name's Luke."

"Look not that you aren't good looking or anything, but I'm kinda in the middle of something."

"But you said you didn't have a boyfriend?"

"It's complicated"

"Ah, Boy troubles"

"No, not that either"

"then what? If I may ask"

"I'm kinda starting something with someone."

"He's a lucky guy, you're very pretty and I hope he tells you that everyday." I smile and nod, thinking it would be better if I didn't mention anything about how the boy, isn't a boy at all. I grabbed my things and left.

I went back to my apartment not too long after, and immediately hopped into the shower. Something about showers make me feel.. at home. It's comforting and soothing and something I do everyday to cool down. As I washed myself off, my mind drifted to Lauren. I liked her, I liked her a lot. That's obvious, but I want her, I want to be hers, I want to fall asleep in her arms at night, I want to watch movie marathons with her, I want to go on adventures with her, I want love.

Call me crazy, but something about her makes me feel like I'm safe. Like I could survive anything as long as she was there.

I was thinking for a little too long, because when I came out of the shower and checked the time I saw that I was late as hell, I had to be there in 10 minutes and I wasn't even half ready. I put some light makeup on, and slipped on casual blue skinny jeans with a white blouse and some converse. As I was drying my hair I picked up my phone and texted Dinah that I was gonna be a little late, getting a reply, "Better hurry yo ass up, lauren's getting a tad tipsy." laughing and putting my phone down, I finished drying my hair and not too soon after, I left.

I showed up half an hour late, which to be perfectly honest was Laurens fault, because she wouldn't get out of my head. But we aren't gonna tell her that. I knocked on the door three times before Ally finally opened it and said,"Oh my god hi!"

"Hey! Nice to see you!" I say as I hug her and walk in. I immediately notice Normani and Dinah making out in the corner of the room, making me smile. I spot Lauren and Zayn in a conversation with another guy whom I didn't recognize. "Who's that?" I ask to Ally.

"That is Chris. Laurens brother." She said. I looked back over to him for a second, before Lauren notices my presence and walks over. "You look beautiful" she says.

"Thanks, I mean I wasn't really trying. But thanks." She chuckles a little and nods.

"I didn't know Chris was gonna be here." I said, trying to make acconversation.
