Lagoon (camren)

Chapter - 41

Lauren PoV
I woke up and walked downstairs, running my hand through my hair. I adjusted my short shorts and baggy sweatshirt and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed the orange juice cartoon and drank right out of it.
"Hello?" A male's voice called out. I turned to our kitchen table and saw a familiar boy with blonde hair.
"Uh" I stuttered and wiped my upper lip that had orange juice on it.
"Honey, how many times have i told you not to drink out of the cartoon?" My mom was also sitting at the kitchen table.
What was my ex-boyfriend, Asher, doing here?
"It's ok, i'm used to her manly ways" Asher suggested, smirking.
"Honey, Asher's parents are going out of town for a while and he needed a place to stay" She started her sentence. She always loved him and his parents, no wonder she said he could stay here.
"We aren't a damn halfway house! or a hotel!" I said angrily.
"You seemed happy when Camila had to stay here" She responded.
"That's different" I huffed.
"Show Asher to the guest room, ok? I'm heading out to get groceries and make him one of my favorite recipes" She smiled and clapped slightly.
"I missed your cooking" He smiled and stood up, picking up his luggage, his arm muscle flexing.
"We missed you more" My mom winked and left the room. She was so embarrassing.
"Ok, follow me even though you know every room in my house and where they are located" I grabbed his arm and pulled us towards the stairs.
"Pulling me up the stairs, deja vu" He grinned and i rolled my eyes.
"Can't believe you are here" I said, opening the door to the guest room, we both walked inside.
"What? Why? You didn't miss me and my charming smile, and soft hair" He ran his hand through his short blonde locks.
"No, i didn't" I said.
"I missed you" He stated.
"Well you should of thought of that before you cheated on me" I spit out.
"Let's not bring that up"
"Whatever, i'll see you around unfortunately" I started walking out of the room.
"You aren't going to hang with me? I'm upset Lauren".
"You'll get over it" I blew him a sarcastic kiss and closed the door behind me, walking back into my room.
My mom was crazy, how could she let him come back here? He cheated on me, and we had a terrible break up. My mom always thought he was the perfect kid, even though he is a senior and older than me.
I walked into my room and grabbed my phone, texting Camila to come over.
Camila PoV
I sat on Lauren's bed as she walked downstairs to get food, it was around lunch time and we were hungry.
I heard Lauren's bathroom door in her room open, and out walked a boy with a nice physique rapped from the waist below in a towel. His wet hair was sloppily pushed out of his face, his abs glistening with drops of water.
"Hello" He said, standing in the doorway of the bathroom.
"Hi" I said. "Who are you?" I blurted out.
"The name is Asher. Asher Crawford" He stuck out his hand, and i shook it. "I'm Lauren"s boyfriend".
I felt my fist clench and i had a pit in my stomach. "Oh". I said, standing up and getting ready to leave.
"Nah, i'm just playing. I'm her ex" He said, chuckling. "You looked so worried".
"Obviously" I said, hadn't he seen us around in school? Oh yeah, he is a senior, he must have never witnessed our PDA.
"Are you the best friend who is going to chop my balls off if i hurt her? I know people like you" He smiled.
Lauren walked back into the room and looked back and forth between us.
"I see you have met the asshole who will be staying in my house for awhile" She rolled her eyes and set down the snacks and food on her bed.
"This is Asher" She said, i nodded. "Asher this is my....friend, Camila" She said.
"We have already met, i am a gentlemen and shook her hand" He smiled at her and started walking out of the room.
I smiled slightly but felt hurt. Why did she introduce me as a friend?
"Wait, i'll be taking this" He grabbed the cheese spray off of her bed and opened it.
"You can"t just take my food" Lauren went up and tried to grab it back but he held it above her head. He sprayed some in his mouth, and laughed walking out of the room.
She slammed the door behind her. "That kid is honestly so annoying".
"Yeah"
"I can't believe my mom brought him here. On the other hand, i brought you food, be happy!" She opened chips and started to eat them.
"I actually should get going" I stood up and walked towards the door and grabbed my arm.
"Babe" She said, smiling.
"Don't touch me" I ripped my arm away. Did she not understand that introducing me as a friend was not ok?
"Camz, what's wrong? Did i not bring the right food? I can get pizza" She raised her eyebrow.
"You don't get it, do you?" I walked out of her room and started walking down the stairs.
"Camila! Wait!" She caught up to me and stopped me before i descended down the steps. "Tell me what I did".
"You introduced me as a friend, in front of your ex boyfriend! Do you want him to not know we are dating so you can fool around with him?" I questioned.
"No, i just knew he would make fun of me if i told him. Ya know, make lesbian jokes and shit"
"I don't know, Lauren. First he was half naked in your room, then you introduced me as a friend. Don't play me" I walked down the steps and she followed, i opened the door.
"I love you" She spun me around and pressed her lips to mine. I pushed her back. "Camila, come on. I don't like him anymore!" She leaned in for another kiss.
:"Kisses don't always fix everything!" I stammered. "Leave me alone". I left her house and started to walk home.
If she could only introduce me as a friend, then maybe we should only be what she claims we are.
