Beautiful When You Don't Try (Camren)

Chapter 75

A/N: Lauren's night. And I know a lot of you are wondering how this is going to top Camila's night, so I thought I'd be upfront with you. It won't. Not in the funny, drunken stumbling kind of way at least. But it will top it in another Camren goodness at the end since the party kept them apart for most of the chapter. Though I don't know how you all are going to get through that day when they are truly separated if you struggle with half a chapter of them apart. It's only realistic. But I know how you feel. Whenever I read a fic I want to skim through most of it and get to when they are together. I mean, that's why we read Camren fics. It's for the Camren. But this story has developed into a whole lot more.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. There may be a shift in my update times again. Nothing permanent, but it's just a heads up for those who are waiting for updates.) Thank you for reading and all the likes. Hope you enjoy.

And a question for you all. Camila Jauregui or Camila Cabello-Jauregui? Let me know what you think.

"Will you two hurry it up." Normani cried in disgust as she stood with Zayn by the elevator and Lauren said her goodbyes to Camila. The brunette was taking this much better than either of them thought she would.

"So you're not worried about me having a naked woman rubbing all over me?" Lauren asked with her arms loosely wrapped around the shorter woman's waist while Camila rested her palms on Lauren's collarbone and shook her head.

"Let them. Because that's all they get to do. I know you're mine and won't take one off into a back room and make your harlot score eighteen."

Lauren smiled and leaned down into another kiss. "No, I won't."

"Exactly. So until you get home, I'm just not going to think about the details."

"I'll keep her busy anyway," Zayn remarked with a devilish grin as he held a brown paper bag in his arm that clanked as he bounced it lightly.

Lauren narrowed her eyes at him. "If you get her drunk, don't even think about touching her. I will cut it off if I found out you so much as tried."

"Babe, please." The man feigned innocents. "Nothing's going to happen unless she comes on to me and then that is your problem, not what I do about it."

The raven-haired opened her mouth to correct him but Normani covered it and pulled her away from Camila and into the elevator. "Okay. You two have a nice night. I'll try not to bring her home too drunk but maybe she can hold her alcohol a little bit better than you. Also, Zayn... don't do anything stupid please."

"I won't. Damn woman. Go enjoy the club. And get a lap dance for me!" He shouted as the door closed. After a few seconds of staring at it, pouting that he once again wasn't allowed to go, he turned to Camila. "So how serious is she about cutting it off, because you grew up to be a frickin hottie and I remember how you kiss..."

"Surprisingly, I've gotten used to your comments and am not in the least bit offended or worried by that."

He beamed with a smile. "See, I always knew you were cooler than you looked in high school."

This time she did roll her eyes and retreated to the kitchen, Zayn following closely behind.

"Please tell me this isn't the same limo as last time," Lauren commented as she slid in and looked around.

"No. Thank God." Adrianne remarked, pouring Lauren her drink. "Chug it and give it back."

Lauren did as she was told and Normani watched in shock as she barely winced at the burning. "So... someone learned to take a drink over the years."
