Mistress (Camren)

Chapter 29

Lauren's POV

I was in deep shit. And it was getting worse everyday now but it wasn't even my fault. It was Camila's and every good thing about her that drove me wild.

It wasn't really surprising that I was catching feelings after we made up but this hit me harder than expected. Camila was messing with my head and I couldn't take it anymore. The more time I spent time with her, I wouldn't be able to think about anything else. Just her and only her.

"You look really nice," I shyly smiled as I stood outside her house, gazing at her in her beautiful white dress with red roses on it. Something she almost always wore but still took everyone's breaths away when she did.

"You like it? It's one of a kind," she twirled around, showing it off which made my breath really hitch.

"It's stunning, Camz," I opened the door of my Lambo for her.

"Thank you," she smirked and got in with an adorable little giggle.

I was taking her to see Ally perform in Hamilton tonight, making it totally look like we were going on a date since it was just her and I. But what was the harm of wanting to spend time together alone? We could do this platonically.

While driving her all the way to Hollywood, we sang along to our favorite songs, bringing back nostalgia of when we used to do this all the time. It felt nice doing it again though. Super nice. She looked and sounded amazing which I was clearly all for.

And when we got there and took our seats, I didn't want to stop looking at her. Since I'd seen the musical a few times before, I stole glances, laughing and smiling at her reactions to the important stuff. I even laughed when she was crying during one of the songs that wasn't even that sad, of course earning a light punch in the shoulder.

"What'd you think, cry baby?" I teased on our way back to the car.

"Hey, that's not fair. I bet you cried the first time you seen it," she pressed.

"Maybe once or twice but you were straight up bawling," I chuckled.

Sighing, "Well, sorry if I related to Aaron Burr so much. Everyone that he cared for in his life died and so did everyone in mine."

"..Except for me," I whispered, completely unintentionally. Oh no.

Her eyes locked with mine as my heart stopped beating for a few moments. "Well... yeah," she let out a soft chuckle. "You, my children, and our Sofi."

I didn't do anything but nod, putting the car in drive and taking off. Fuck. Why was I always messing up and implying that we were something more than... friends? Were we friends? We were parents to the same child for sure so it was a definitely a different kind of relationship than just buddies. I wasn't sure what I wanted Camila and I to become. If anything more than platonic. After all, I was still with Demi and she was still with Don.

"Thank you for inviting me, Lauren. It was a lot of fun and I for sure needed the night off," she said when I was back in front of her home.

"Me too, Camz," I smiled. "I really enjoyed hanging out with you like I always do."

"So did I," she thankfully giggled after I internally scolded myself again. "I'll text or call you tomorrow."

"Sounds good," I replied, surprised that she brought me in for a warm hug as I rubbed her back. A heated blush flooded my cheeks when we pulled back and she flashed her gorgeous smile.

"Goodnight," I smirked softly

The night ended with me watching her walk back into her house and being a confused mess. I'd be lying if I said that Camila didn't have a place in my heart to some degree. I wasn't so sure what it was exactly but she was there and always will be. And that got me fucked up.
