Camren One Shots

Meeting The Parents

"Hey babe can we talk for a minute before you go?" Camila asked Lauren as she grabbed her keys.

"I'm running late babe can we talk later? Lauren said heading for the door. She opened it slightly before Camila spoke again.

"Not really, please" Camila asked pointing at the seat next to her. Lauren shut the door and sighed with worry. She sat down and held out her arm insinuating for Camila to continue with what she needed to say.

"Babe come on I'm late as it....." Lauren said but was cut off.

"My parents are coming for dinner tonight and they wanna meet you" Camila said.

"Are you kidding? You know they hate me" Lauren said.

"They dont hate you they've just never seen the side of you that I see" Camila said.

"They've only seen photos and they didn't like me, said I 'wore too much black'" Lauren said suing her hands as air quotes.

"They'll meet you and everything will be fine" Camila said holding Lauren's hand. They smiled before Lauren turned to look at the clock.

"Shit I have to go" she said running out of the door. Lauren spent her day in work while Camila cleaned the whole house trying to make it perfect for her parents. Her parents were the one to make everything perfect and if it wasn't they'd take it into their own hands to make it. Camila was worried about what was going to happen but she reassured herself that it'll be fine .

Time went on and Lauren made her way home tired. She opened the door and threw her bag on her floor. She worked as a mechanic so she was wearing black overalls that were tied at the waist with a dark grey t-shirt underneath.

"Stupid fucking pricks telling me how to do my job, babe seriously I was so close to fucking quitting" she yelled walking into the kitchen. She stared in awe as she noticed Camila's parents staring at her angrily. She stood there not knowing what to do as her mind screamed FUCK!

"Excuse me" she said as she walked out of the room and upstairs to change quickly. She was halfway out of her overalls before Camila came into the room shutting the door.

"What the hell was that?" She whisper yelled.

"I didn't know they'd be here yet" Lauren said. She was still changing as Camila just ranted to her. She tuned her out before she head a clicking and realised Camila was clicking her finger to snap her out of her thoughts.

"Hello?" Camila said starting to get annoyed.

"Let's just get this over with" Lauren said buttoning up her trousers. She heard Camila scoff begins her before she made it to the kitchen.

"I'm so sorry about that, it's just been a stressful day at work" Lauren said making herself a drink. Camila's parents stayed silence as she made it.

Time went on and food was finally ready.

"So Lauren how is your job? Earning enough to keep my daughter happy?" Camila's father said.

"Dad!!" Camila yelled.

"No babe it's fine, actually my job is very good pay and I'm positive that your daughter is happy with me and I vow to make our life as happy as I can" Lauren said holding Camila's hand. They both smiled at each other as Camila's parents scoffed a little.

"That's it. I've tried to be nice and supportive but why don't you like me?" Lauren said to Camila's parents finally snapping.

"In all honesty we don't think you're good enough for our daughter" Camila's father said. That hurt Lauren a lot. All her life she had never felt like she was good enough but with Camila she felt like she was the top of the world, hearing that crushed her. A tear fell from her eyes but she wiped it away quickly.

"I would like you too leave my house please" Lauren said.

"We're not going anywhere"both parents said.

"Thank you for coming it's been lovely" Lauren said. Camila could hear the hurt in her voice.

"I'd like you to leave too please" Camila finally said.

"Camila you cant seriously spend your life with this girl" Camila's dad said. Her mum kept quiet but nodded her head to what her husband was saying.

"I love her" Camila said.

"Love doesn't win over family" her dad snapped back.

"Lauren is my family" Camila said.

"Sir, if I may? I love your daughter and she loves me. We've been together for almost 2 years now and do I see a future with her? Of course I do. We live together. She focuses on her while I make money for us with a job that I love, yes sometimes it's stressful and sometimes I have bad days but I love what I do. I will always make her happy and I will never hurt her purposely, she is mine and I want to be hers forever" Lauren said.

"Come on hun we're leaving" Camila's father said leading his wife to the door.

"Sweetie, stop" Camila's mother finally said.
"Lauren's just proved to us what her intentions are, let's give her a chance, you only like this because you feel like you're losing your only child to someone but you're not she's still your baby girl aren't you hun?" She said looking at Camila. Camila's nodded to her father.

"She makes me happy" Camila's said linking arms with Lauren. Camila's father wakes over to Lauren before holding out his hand. Lauren shook it and smiled.

"You have one chance" he started.
"Welcome to the family" he finished.

"Thank you" Lauren said as she escorted them to the door before saying goodbye.

"Well that went well" Camila said. Lauren rolled her eyes as they both laughed.
