Sins: Camren Fanfiction

Chapter Seven

The word kept playing in my head over and over again. Lauren Jauregui thinks I'm sexy? What the fuck is wrong with her? I'm the exact opposite of sexy. But that isn't the point. The point is that she called a girl sexy. Is she like, gay? Different questions kept appearing into my mind keeping me occupied and causing me not to reply to Lauren. After she said that to me I turned my head back to the hymnal and tried to listen to the older women sing. I glanced up and saw Lauren was still staring at me but with a smirk on her face. What possibly could be going on in her mind? Or do I even want to know?

I didn't say anything else to Lauren the rest of the song service for a couple reasons. One would be the fact that she just called me sexy and I just don't know how to respond to something like that because I'm awkward and can't take a compliment, ever. But the other reason is the fact were in church and I kind of can't respond to that. I'm a good Christian girl. I'm straight, I think, and I know God wouldn't approve of such thoughts or anything like that.

After the women were done singing the preacher went up and did his thing which seemed to drag on forever. The whole time I felt Lauren's eyes piercing into the side of my face. I didn't say anything though, didn't even look up at her. God wouldn't approve of it.

After the service I grabbed Sofi by the hand and dragged her towards my Mom and Dad.

"Can we leave Daddy?" I asked him. He always has a sweet spot when I call him Daddy. That's how I get what I want from him.

"Sweetheart I really wish we could but me and your mother need to stay after and talk to the elders about loaning us money." He replied.

My family has been really struggling these past couple months with paying the bills and having food on the table. We've been borrowing money from family and friends but my mother wants to ask the church for money instead. She believes that they will give us whatever we needed because they are her family in Christ. So I understand why we can't leave right at this moment.

"Ok Dad."

I left Sofi with my parent and walked outside and sat on the stairs in the front of the church.

"Mind if I join you?"

I glanced to the side and saw Lauren standing there. I'm still in shock with what she told me earlier that I didn't reply. I just kind of stared at her. Just like I did when she walked into church tonight.

"I'll take that as a yes." She said and walked to the stairs and placed herself right next to me.

We didn't say anything once she sat down. I stared at the cars driving down the road while she did God knows what. It was awkward and I'm pretty sure she realized that too. I have to say something. I cleared my throat:

"Great sermon tonight wasn't it?" I asked. How lame.

She chuckled. "I wouldn't know."

"What do you mean?"

She chuckled again but this time a bit louder. "What I mean is I couldn't take my eyes off of you but I'm pretty sure you noticed."

Was she hitting on me? Or do I even know what that means? I wish she would quit doing this to me.
