"Here alone?" Camila heard next to her as she looked at the man to the right of her holding two glasses of whiskey giving her a smug look. Camila could only chuckle as she takes another sip of her drink, not caring of the man giving her the look of desire. She never liked that look it almost looks desperate. "Hey-"
"It means leave her alone," a voice from her left calls and she can't help but feel shivers go down her spine. "Go on Austin, I can't have the cops raiding my place again because you can't take no for an answer," the woman continued and Camila can't help but chuckle as she pushes the man towards a security guard while the man protests. "I do apologize but I can't have you ruining business now. Nor a beautiful woman's night."
Camila looks up at the woman as she turns around with a smile on her face, "I do apologize for that imbecile, never learns really," she says as Camila just waves it off as if it hasn't happened before to her. But she can't help but think that this Austin has done this before, the desperateness reeked from him. "I don't think I have seen you here before, may I have your name darling?" She asks and Camila can't help but feel a connection with her.
Was it the alcohol? She shakes her head at that thought because she just had one drink. Was it her eyes? And Camila can't help but stare into them more intently, they are bright. Brighter than the room but she can't help but think that maybe Dinah was right. Maybe she has a thing for bright eyes.
"Camila," she says as puts her hand out for the woman to shake but she is taken back in surprise as the woman gives her a light kiss on her hand. Her cheeks turn a light pink and the woman smiles at her. She can't help but think that maybe these bright eyes won't end in such a sad ending. She's always been a sucker for love at first sight.
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl," the woman says as she waves at the bartender to give her the usual. "The name is Lauren, I run the place," Lauren says as Camila gives her a surprised look as if she hadn't even heard of the owner of the nightclub. "First time I am assuming," she continues and Camila could only nod with a small smile.
"My friend, she wanted me to go out for a bit of fun," Camila says as if Lauren had even asked her why she was here. "She just doesn't know that I actually am not having fun," and as she turns to Lauren she sees a look she can't decipher. "She's-" Camila draws out as she tries to find Dinah. Once she notices the woman in the crowd she can't help but chuckle that she was there already dancing with someone she doesn't know, "Over there."
Lauren's eyes follow where Camila is pointing at. She chuckles loudly and looks back at Camila who is giving her a confused look, "Your friend is dancing with Normani, that sly devil. She's not harmful," Lauren adds quickly as if Camila was wondering if Normani was a criminal. Camila can't help but notice the dark drink Lauren is having and on cue Lauren hands the drink to her, "You'll be surprised, Camila. I promise you it won't kill you."
Camila grabs the drink hesitantly but once Lauren gives her the look of 'go on, it'll be fine' and takes a sip almost waiting to start dying right then and there. Camila can't help but think maybe she actually wanted the drink to kill her but she just pushes it aside as crazy talk. But when the taste hits her she can't help but laugh at what Lauren's usual actually was, "Coke? Really?"
"What? I'm not a drinker," Lauren scoffs at her as Camila laughs loudly at her drink choice. "Stop being so judgmental," Lauren continues and Camila quickly apologizes and looks at her with a soft smile. "Do I know you from somewhere Camila?" Lauren questions as Camila just shrugs her shoulders. "I swear I have seen you somewhere," Lauren puts a finger on her chin almost in complete thought.
"Um, maybe by my music?" Camila kind of questions and Lauren just shakes her head as she mutters that she's into classical. Camila almost wants to be offended but she's kind of glad that she is not a fan, lately she hasn't been a fan of her own. Camila clears her throat as she looks down at her drink in disappointment. "Maybe, um, well, my sex tape," she says quietly but Lauren hears her and when Lauren's eyes light up even brighter than before she knows she has her answer.
