I'm Not Your Toy

She's Not Wife Material

"Woah! Where are you going all dressed up like that?" Lauren says as she watches Camila come out of her bedroom. "I'm meeting up with somebody for the night. It was kind of a last second decision, are you okay hanging out with Sofi tonight?" She sits on a chair at the table and puts on her white heels."Of course I can hang with mini Cabello. What are you guys doing tonight that requires such fancy attire?" The ding of Camila's phone let both girls know that this conversation was going to be cut short. "She told me to dress very nice and that she'd plan the whole night."

The doorbell rings and Camila races to answer it. On the other side is a beautiful brunette girl with her hair pulled into a high ponytail. Her dress attire is very similar to Camila's, which relieved Camila because she was afraid she was overdressed. They exchange a hug and the visitor notices the third girl in the room.

"Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm Camila's temporary roommate." She jokes as she gets off of the couch to shake her hand. "I'm Ariana, I'll be stealing your temporary roommate for a date night." She laughs, revisiting the roommate situation that Camila has already informed her about.

The two girls have only been talking for a month now, but it seems like their interest in each other has blown up in the past two weeks. It started slow, but then they started to really get to know each other, and that led to Ariana asking Camila out on this date. 

Lauren excuses herself after a few minutes of small talk to resume reading her book and Ariana goes back to the car as Camila grabs a few things she almost forgot. The door to Camila's bedroom flies open as the girl races towards the front door. "You look good, Camz. Have fun tonight." The brunette smiles and walks to her date's car.

"Oooohhhhh" Sophie comes out of nowhere and speaks as if she has uncovered a secret. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Lauren laughs at the noise the little Cabello sister just made. "You still like Kaki." She states matter-of-factly. Lauren's eyebrows furrow as if to ask what the girl meant. "You. Still. Like. Camila. Don't deny it, I heard all that awkward shit you said." She laughs while the older girl continues to look confused. "And what makes you assume that? I just had to break off my engagement, I'm not interested in anybody at the moment"

Sofia sits on the stool at the table and crosses her legs. "You definitely have feelings for her. You may be in denial right now, but I'm calling it right now." Lauren sighs and goes back to her book. She genuinely doesn't have feelings for anybody right now. She doesn't even know if she can find somebody, ever. Every person she has been with broke her heart and messed her up for time after it was over. She has begun to accept the fact that she may be alone forever.

"I'm going to get you guys back together. I don't care about Ariana, I can only really see her as being Kaki's friend, she's not wife material." Lauren laughs and continues to ignore the girl's crazy talk.

Hours go by and it's well past midnight. Sofi left to meet up with her boyfriend a few hours ago and Lauren has been bored since then. She finished her book, made dinner, and tried to watch some Netflix, but she can't get Camila out of her mind. She hasn't been in contact all night and she is wondering if they are okay. It's normal for people to be out late, Camila is always out late when she hangs out with the girls and it never concerns Lauren, so why is she so concerned tonight? 

Maybe she is staying the night with Ariana. She cringes at the thought, perhaps because she doesn't know the girl? Who knows. Maybe just a quick text to settle her brain would help.

Lauren

Hey, I'm about to go to bed. do you want me to lock up the house, or are you coming home soon?

Camila

That's okay, I think I'll just crash at Ari's place tonight. We got caught up talking for a bit.

Camila

I'll see you in the morning.

That's when Lauren's stomach drops. She had no clue what she was feeling as she read the response. Was it her accepting the fact that this was going to be the first time she'd be sleeping in the apartment alone? No, she has lived alone before. Upset because her ex has finally moved on? No, Lauren couldn't possibly hold that against Camila when she was the one to ice the girl out this time around. Disgust? Her stomach drops even more when she realizes what she was feeling. 

Camila will be sleeping at this new girl's house tonight. This girl that took her out on their first date to do something fancy. This girl that could possibly be touching Lauren's ex in ways she didn't want to imagine right now. Perhaps it was just Sofia getting into her head, but maybe Lauren wasn't as over her ex as she had thought. Maybe... Just maybe, she wants to get Camila back. But how can she possibly do that when the girl that held on to a shred of hope for 6 years just finally moved on. 

I haven't read this over for mistakes yet, but I had about half of it written out a few months ago and couldn't stand not posting for so long. I may fix this up at a later time, but here you go loves, enjoy.

Also- is Tyren officially broken up (or the PR stunt over)? I'm so fucking confused. Poor Gracie (RIP little baby), now there's Cleo, but I've only seen him around Ty and his new girl?? I think I heard Lauren say they had 2 dogs a while ago but I've lost track of everything lately. Was it PR? Dinah is being weird, Lauren is being weird, and I'm assuming that Ty is just being Ty.

And what's going on with the WFH thing? 4/5 of them were dancing and singing it, INCLUDING Camila. I lost touch with everything and need to be caught up again...
