Only You

A dance and A girl pt. 2

"How about a dance instead?"

Lauren's smooth voice had said to me whilst directing her eyesight to Veronica.

I just stand turning my head back to look at her and see that damn smile on her, she knows I'll say yes.

I look back at Veronica, she sighs with an annoyed face and goes back to the group of girls waiting for her. Including that blonde that always gives me the stink eye.

I'm just glad this didn't end up in a fight and Veronica left without a word, she knows her boundaries at times and there's also the fact that Lauren is kind of possessive of me. Wait that's true she is possessive, but I think I like it?

Lauren takes me by the waist with one hand leading me right to the dance floor. We didn't say a word. We reached the girls and right when they spotted us they yelled out to us with "ayyy's" and "yassss's". We both smiled back widely and I giggled because Dinah was making suggestive moves with her eyebrows. There on the spot some throw back song comes on "Solo Por Un Beso" a salsa classic. I just put my hands around Lauren's neck and swayed to the beautiful song that brought back memories.

Flashback

2yrs ago

"This is our song baby" said my dad to my mom whilst hugging her from behind carefully giving her a kiss on her head. She was cooking dinner and she smiles so bright and hums to what he had said.

I look up from my coloring book to see the caring scene of my parents in front of me. Sofia right next to me trying to stay in the lines of her master piece that would soon be taped to the fridge door.

My parents were dancing around in the kitchen and my dad twirls mami and she giggles. At that moment I felt so grateful to be surrounded by love. I turn my head back to sofi and she was looking at our parents too by this point and then I see her grimace and say a loud "eeeeeww". They had kissed and laughed at Sofi's reaction. They hugged swinging back and forth. Sofi finished her drawing.

"Look mami I finished and It's for you and daddy" and I pouted from my seat at the table trying to make her feel bad for leaving me out "how about me sophi" I say with an even bigger pout on my face. "Awww kaki I didn't forget about you" she said which surprised me because I wasn't expecting anything. She went up to her room with her paddling feet hitting the hardwood stairs. She brought down one of her stuffed bears. He was the fluffiest of all and her favorite.

"This is so you don't forget about me ever or when you have a bad dream. Buddy helps me with my bad dreams".

"Sofi why don't you keep him?" I said with sad tone, with a small smile and looked at her doe eyes.

"I'm a big girl now, you need him more for when you get sad". Right when she had said that I had remembered she walked in on my crying in my room the week before because Austin had broken up with me for someone else.

"Thankss sofi, You know I love you".

"I love you more kaki."

She was just five years old.

End of flashback

Lauren then holds me a little closer to her and it wakes me from my memories of back then.

"You've been quite"  she says loud enough and as close to my ear as she can get because of the music.

"Why are you with her?" I blurt out.

Lauren gives a little laugh and sighs, "why are you with Veronica?"

"Touché".

"What do you think, Should I join the dance team ?" I say with a quirked eyebrow and a big smile. I bite my lower lip awaiting a response. She stops her movements and gives me a look of endearment.

"Yes do it, they would be missing out if you weren't in their team" she says while she grabs me once again and we keep swaying to the beat. "I'll have Normani keep an eye on you cause I know they be getting all types of jealous".

I just laugh it out and I'm pretty sure next time she sees me in the halls I'll be wearing that dance team bomber jacket.
....

After a couple of songs I retired to get a quick drink. The songs got more upbeat after that and the girls and I danced together and went all out. Lauren and I had a moment and I thought we were going to kiss but then I remembered and said I was going to get a drink.

"Hey, can I get a Shirley temple?" I asked one of the bartenders. It was obviously non alcoholic, this is a high school dance.

"Coming up for the pretty lady" says the guy attending me with a wink and I just smile to be polite.

I get my drink and I am replenished and ready for another round on the dance floor. When I get there I see Normani and make my way to her. She had spotted me too and started coming closer. She then grabbed my hands and pulled me more towards the dance floorI full out laughed because she was being funny as hell.

"Come on Mila, I know you can dance!! Let's see those moves girl!"

I turned around and moved slowly putting my hands though my hair and swaying to the beat of the music. I felt someone behind me and assumed it was Normani. So I pushed until my back is touching her front. We've become really close friends so it's not that serious. I then felt her hands snake on to my hips and guide me and I started grinding and having fun. I then heard a low moan that sounded like someone I know very well. Then to confirm it, she whispered in my ear "I can't wait to have you tonight".

I turned my head and see Lauren.

Where did Normani go? Did they have a silent agreement? What is going on? Where are the girls?

"They left" Lauren said next to my ear as if reading my mind, and she exhales into my neck and it makes me shiver. "Let's go home Camila".

I silently agreed. It was getting late and there were already a few people leaving as well. I noticed on her corner of my eye that Veronica was making out with some girl. The same girl with the blonde hair, Betty, that's her name. I'm glad she's having fun, I smiled to myself and continued my walk to Lauren's car.

"How about Lucy, how is she getting home?"

Lauren opened her car door and unlocked the passenger seat and then went in after I did.  "She has her friends, she'll find someone" she smiled to ease my worried expression. I know she's supposed to be 'competition' or something but I still worry for her well being. I'm very sympathetic maybe it's got to do with life experiences. The ride is a very quite one since we're so caught in our own thoughts.

Lauren's POV

When we arrive home I get a sense that Camila's really nervous and tense. I mean what I said while we were dancing maybe crossed a line. The thing is, the way she was dancing was just overwhelming. I get off the car and head towards the front door, right as I was about to turn the knob after unlocking it, Camila called my name.

"Lauren wait, what if things don't go well, what if-"

"What if it ends tragically?"

"Yes."

"Don't you think i haven't thought of the consequences, I just can't stay away from you anymore". I say without hesitation with a small frown. Camila walks up the steps and stands in front of me.

"Kiss me".

I appreciate the support! I'll just try not to drown is procrastination next time. Hope you enjoyed all 1300 words :)
