Give Me Love. Sequel to Nobody Compares

17. Fine. I'll Go

    When Camila and I arrived at the beach we met up with Brett and Dave at the skate shop where they were patiently awaiting. "Hey, I was starting to think you wouldn't show." Brett went in for a hug that I happily returned. "I wouldn't do that. I'm actually interested in hanging out with you." I admitted. Brett had a small smirk on his face. "Well don't I feel honored."

    Camila and Dave were leading the way up the boardwalk and Brett and I were trailing behind sharing a soft pretzel from a stand. The sun was starting to go down leaving this beautiul golden tint as it subsided. "So, how weird was it dating a famous person?" Brett suddenly asked ripping a piece from the pretzel I was holding and popping it into his mouth. "It wasn't weird personally, it's definetely something to get used to, like the lifestyle that comes with it and the distance.." I sighed.

"Man, I'd kill to date to be famous by association." Brett smirked.

"I'm not "famous"" I noted.

"But your ex boyfriend is and you went to events with him and stuff, therefore you're famous by association." I looked over at Brett and then I realized he was only hanging out with me because he thought I was "famous"

    I looked at my phone and cleared my throat. "Uh it's getting late and I should probably start heading back."

Brett pointed to my phone.

"You got any numbers in there?" I looked down at my phone and then back to him. "Yeah; I've got plenty of contacts in here?"

"I mean like.. famous people. I'm just curious." I raised an eyebrow at this obsessive interest he decided to suddenly display. "Yeah, um but like I said it's getting pretty late I should probably get going.."

"What? So soon? I was having fun with you." I laughed a little. It was fun until you started showing the real motive for wanting to hang out with me I thought. "Yeah. I have to be up early." I lied. Brett frowned but nodded.

    "Hey Dave!" he called him over. Dave who was laughing about something with Camila turned around. "Here, get a picture of me and this beauty." Brett tossed his phone to Dave and went on to wrap his arm around my shoulder. I gave a closed smile as the flash went off. Dave handed him his phone back. "We should do this again sometime. Brett suggested. I gave him a fake smile in response and grabbed Camila by the arm as she waved goodbye to the boys.

    "Never again." I said. Camila was confused.

"What? You guys seemed to be hitting it off. I know Dave and I did, he's a cool dude." she said.

"Well I'm glad you had fun. I mean Brett seemed cool to begin with but he just wanted to hang out with me because I'm "famous by association"" I did bunny ears with my fingers. Camila's mouth fell open. "You're kidding me. He said that to you?"

"He didn't say it but there were plenty of implications. He's probably going to post that picture of us somewhere for attention. From now on smack me if I want to hang out with a guy I met the day before who found me through mentions on twitter." Camila laughed and saluted me.

"I'd be honored." she said.

     We were in the McDonalds parking lot stuffing our faces with processed food that was completely unhealthy when Camila's phone started ringing. She shoved a handful of fries into her mouth and reached around on the floor where her phone had dropped early on during the ride back. Her eyes widened and she muffled something that I couldn't make out. "Huh?" I questioned. She showed me her phone and it was Harry. She slid to answer and placed it on speaker. "Hewwo?" she said trying her fastest to chew and swallow the fries. "Camila. Great news. I asked Liam and Niall if they are on board with spending the days off in Miami and they happily obliged."

"Really? That's great! What about the other two?"

"They're out right now and I wanted to ask in person, so I'll just wait until they get in." he said.

"Fair enough."

"Yeah, I'm excited. I've always fancied Miami. Lauren still there?" he asked.

"Hey Harry," I greeted, taking a sip of my coke.

"What are you ladies up to?"

"We just got back from the beach. We're eating unhealthy food in a parking lot right now."

"Nice. Are you with the others?"

"No. We met up with these two guys and just walked the boardwalk." Camila informed him.

"You're hanging out with other guys? Maybe I shouldn't come to Miami.." Harry teased.

"No! He didn't have my attention like you."

    Harry and Camila were too cute, but they never pursued anything because he's scared he'd hurt her and she's too nice of a person to have to deal with heartbreak. We all see how it went down when Harry was black out drunk and pictures surfaced of him and the blonde making out.

     "Fine, fine. I'll still come but I better get your attention not that random lad."

"You will. Well I have to go Lauren and I are about to hit the road again."

"Alright ladies be safe, see you soon."

ZAYN:

   I walked into the house and Louis was tipsy so when I opened up the door he stumbled past me using the walls as his balance support. I placed my keys on the key hook and followed the sound of the boys calling Louis a drunken bafoon.

 

   They were sat in the living area with their mouths closed in thin lines as if they had something to say but couldn't get it out. "How was that socialites party?" Harry asked. I shrugged taking a seat. "It was okay. Louis had quite a few drinks." I looked at Louis who had a stupid smile on his face as he nodded his head like a chicken.

   "HARRY CHATTED WITH LAUREN EARLIER!" Niall suddenly blurted out and threw his hands over his mouth. "We were easing into that you arse!" Liam shouted and jumped on Niall smushing a pillow to his face. I shot a look to Harry who was innocently smirking. "You... you talked to Lauren?" I hesitantly asked. Harry nodded and threw his hands up. "It wasn't in the way it might seem though. I got a prank call and I answered and it turns out it was Camila and Lauren."

"They were hanging with guys." Niall said once he broke free.

"Niall what the hell?!" Liam shouted again, shoving the pillow over his face once more. I nodded. "She was with a guy?" I questioned.

"Well, that's what Camila mentioned they walked the boardwalk together." Harry informed me and he was hesitant as he spoke not knowing how I'd react. I shifted in my seat but nodded. "That's good for her. I'm glad.."

    "Can we just not talk about her and get to the question." Liam suggested, the pillow still over Niall's mouth. "What question?" Louis asked finally speaking up for the both of us. "I informed Camila how we were going to be in New York City and then have two days off before our show and she made the great suggestion of us spending those days in Miami and I thought it was a swell idea so I asked Liam and blabber mouth Niall over there, and they agreed. So now I want to know if you and Lou are in?"

"I am so in! I love Miami, this cuban restaurant oh lord." Louis slurred.

    I wasn't sure what to answer. If I said yes I'd obviously run into Lauren and it'd be awkward, especially if she was with this new guy. But, then there was possibility that even if I said yes she'd avoid me at all costs. She hates me. Then of course if I said no I'd miss my oppurtunity to even see her at all, even if it's a quick before she avoids me. I tugged on the hair at the nape of my neck. "Oh come on." Liam said.

"Fine. I'll go."
