She Loves Control

So Close

A/N: Sorry updates have been slow. My one shots have taken a back burner because I need some good prompts to spark my inspiration.

Updates will be slowing down a lot over the next few months cos I have exams coming up and if I want a future I gotta get my shit together.

My own health has been a bit off recently and a few mental roadblocks have made writing less important rn but I'm trying to get back into it.

So a bit of patience is appreciated but all I have left to say is... next chapter guys... watch out for it... it's gonna be good...

Things were finally back to normal.

Hayley had fucked off out of the State. Camila had noticed the sympathetic looks from her friends had stopped, making her feel belonging within their weird little group of friends.

She had also stopped herself from ignoring Lauren's looks. Looks that give away exactly what Lauren's feelings are for her. One's of lust sometimes (that was fun to tease and flirt with), mostly a look of fondness in her eyes (that makes Camila feel all fluttery) and sometimes a look of sadness (that... well Camila doesn't like that one).

What she'd never seen was Lauren uncomfortable. And after their night out, Camila decided she never wanted to see Lauren like that again.

----

You see, her and Lauren had decided to go out. Camila had finally conceded to going back to her local bar. She didn't really care about the people trying to win her over for another night or two.

But it was Lauren who had asked to go there.

"Wait for real? You're going back?" Dinah asked with a surprised expression. Camila shrugged.

"Lo wants to go." Camila replied. Dinah had just hummed knowingly at her with raised eyebrows.

Camila had pointedly ignored her.

Whatever. It didn't matter. She just wanted to show Lauren a good time.

Wait. No. Not like that.

Camila just wanted Lauren to be happy. And if that meant going to a slightly crappy bar filled with her exes then so be it.

"Camz would you hurry up!" Lauren yelled from the doorway. Camila rolled her eyes and messed with her hair once more before heading out of her bedroom.

"Jeez Lo, relax would you. Takes time to look this-" Camila sucked in a breath when she rounded the corner and saw Lauren leaning against the doorjamb.

"Camz?" Lauren asked after a second, her brow furrowing slightly.

"-perfect." Camila breathed out.

"Huh?" Lauren squeaked quietly, cheeks dusting a light pink.

"I meant, it takes time to look this perfect. As in me. Not you. Not that you don't look perfect- great I mean. You... you look great." Camila stammered, scratching the back of her neck as she rambled.

"So are you two going or just gonna stand around blushing and awkward like you haven't already seen each other naked?" Dinah drawled from the kitchen, munching on a donut as she wiggled her eyebrows at the pair.

"Shut up. Don't wait up D." Camila grumbled as she lightly shoved Lauren out the door and slamming it shut behind them.

The bar was as busy as it usually was. Which... honestly wasn't that busy at all. Not compared to some of the other clubs Camila had been to recently. It was a nice change in pace.
