She Loves Control

Hopes vs. Reality

A/N: I may also change the chapter names eventually. Just not tonight :P

The sun was bright on Lauren's face, she groaned and flipped onto her front. The bed beside her cold. Lauren sighed. It was worth a shot. She should've know she wouldn't be the tamer of that particular hurricane. She never was.

"Wake up sleepy head." Normani said as she yanked back Lauren's curtains and moved to stand at the foot of the bed. Lauren groaned and pulled the sheets higher.

"Don't do your usual routine of waking me up." Lauren whined. Normani laughed.

"Why not Laur?"

"You'll see more of me than you want." Lauren said with a sleepy smirk, face still pressed into her pillow.

"Ooo. Lauren got laaiiiddd." Normani yelled, running out of Lauren's room. Lauren sat up, sheets still wrapped around her and yawned.

Not a single shred of evidence left that Camila had been there. Nothing. Not even a note. Hell Lauren had been hoping there'd still be a person in her bed. Guess she had been hoping for too much.

Lauren sighed. She pressed her hand to the mattress, she was hooked. But it was too late. She'd been warned and now she was hurt; it was her own desire that screwed her over here and Lauren knew it. Lauren stood up and threw on a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants to head into the kitchen.

"I hear someone had a good night." Ally said, sipping on her tea slowly. Lauren rolled her eyes.

"Yeah." She muttered, reaching for the coffee cup on the counter.

"You okay Ralph?"

Lauren nodded once to Dinah.

"You're friend's a real charmer." Lauren mumbled, sitting down next to Dinah, shoulders slumping.

"Mila?" Dinah said confusedly. Lauren nodded, leaning her head on the table.

"Oh honey." Normani said, running her hand across Lauren's shoulders soothingly.

"She was just so good." Lauren whined, her voice muffled since she was hiding her face with the table.

"That's what they all say." Ally said quietly around her mug. Three heads turned to look at her. Ally shrugged. "Dua said the same."

There was a thud as Lauren's head hit the table again.

Camila was on top of the world. Floating through the day easily.

It was like a caffeine shot to the muscles. Sure they were a tad sore from last night but god damn was it worth it.

Lauren was incredible. Top three if not number one. Camila stretched out on her sofa, feet hanging over the armrest; Brooklyn 99 playing on the TV, scrolling through Tumblr and just relaxing.

Camila didn't even flinch when she heard her door unlock.

"Hey China." She murmured.

"Karla Camila Cabello." Dinah said. Camila frowned, she was almost full named by Dinah... that never ends well.

Camila sat up and looked over to see a scowling Dinah.

"You slept with my girlfriend's friend." Dinah snapped.

"I know. Thanks for that by the way." Camila said with a cheeky smile, turning her attention back to her phone.

Dinah stomped over to her and snatched her phone.
