Not Weak, Just Stronger

Chapter 10: Old Habits (part 2)

Play Toxic by Kehlani later in the chapter.

The drive to the supermarket wasn't a long one but it sure did feel like it. Nate drove the van, Gigi sat up front. María, Madison, Ruby, and Simon sat on the first row, then Camila, Lauren, Dinah, and Kehlani sat in the back. The music was playing so loudly, Dinah swore the speakers in the car was about to blow out at one point. Everyone got too excited about tonight's dinner and yelled over each other about who's making what, what was or what wasn't allowed, and how bad of a cook someone was and shouldn't be trusted. Nate demanded that everybody make a list and write down the stuff they needed and passed a little notepad around for them to use. Simon was a little funny about food because being in Miami sort of triggered him and his struggles with anorexia in the past, but Lauren helped him ease out of it and focus on something else.

Camila stopped talking to María and sat back with a dramatic high pitched sigh, still in her cheer uniform, and started fanning herself. She squirmed in her seat then crossed her legs, pressing her thigh against Lauren's as she did. She pulled the neck of her crop top down to show more cleavage but make it look like she was just letting her skin breathe. Lauren's eyes automatically went down to her breasts only to end up focusing on her tanned legs and the way they squeezed together. Sitting next to her was becoming more torturous by the second.

"God, I'm so hot. Is anyone else as hot as I am?" Camila bounced her eyebrows suggestively at Lauren, wearing a smirk to taunt her. That question had a double meaning and was mostly aimed at the green eyed girl to answer.

'Absolutely not,' Lauren replied in her head.

"I'm hot too," Gigi sighed.

"Yeah, same," Simon raised a hand.

"It's almost as if I don't need any clothes on," Camila whispered in Lauren's ear then acted as if she never said anything.

Lauren took a deep breath and kept her hands to herself, folding tightly together on her lap. She kept her eyes trained ahead and did her best not to pay any mind to la Diabla next to her, tempting her into sinful ways.

"Lauren, can you scoot over? Our thighs are too big and it's making me feel cramped up, I can't even move," Dinah complained, trying to move but failing so she could prove her point.

"Dinah, I literally can't. There's no room and I'll squish Camila."

"So? A bitch needs to breathe. I don't care if that one doesn't," Dinah said loud enough for Camila to hear. The brunette narrowed her eyes and reached over to punch her leg.

"Don't be rude!"

Dinah punched her back. "Don't be annoying!"

"Oh hell—come here!" Camila reached over Lauren's legs to playfully fight Dinah just to end up sitting on her lap because she knew that was the easiest solution for both problems. Lauren's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

"Wait, Mila, stay there!" Dinah forced Lauren to scoot over so she could finally have more room. She closed her eyes and smiled, sighing in relief. "Ahh, feels so much better."

"Fuck me," Lauren cursed herself under her breath, stuck with Camila on her lap and the throbbing becoming increasingly annoying.

"That's very inappropriate, Lauren," Camila leaned back onto her shoulder, talking only to her so no one else could her. "We can't do that."

"Trust me, you've made it loud and clear," she rolled her eyes.

*two minutes later*

Lauren would much rather pass out from heat exhaustion than this; Camila was currently bent over the seat to take selfies with Madison and María, giving Lauren the perfect view of her well rounded ass her skirt gave a sneak peek of. Camila would sway side to side on purpose, provoking Lauren to slap or at least grab it. When she didn't, Camila huffed then dropped herself back down against Lauren's lap, causing the green eyed girl to twitch a little from the force. Everybody else was too preoccupied fighting over the aux cord and music taste to notice that Camila had started grinding down against Lauren, creating friction that felt better than anything Lauren has felt in months.
