Let's Capture It

"What do you expect me to say to you now Lauren?" Camila asks, crossing her arms.

Lauren had her hands in her pockets now, looking around. "I don't expect you to forgive me right away but-"

Lauren, what if I can't forgive you?" she says. "You.. broke my trust. I opened up to you... about Austin... about a lot. It hurts even more than what he did to me."

Lauren opened her mouth to say something but she couldn't. How could she? She was so upset with herself for hurting Camila. What can she even say? "And I will do whatever it takes to gain your trust back. Even if it's for the rest of my life. All I ask... is that you stay... please Camz."

Camila was considering it. It wasn't that she thinks Lauren's a horrible person. Honestly, her heart was overwhelmed. It just hurt too much to be around her right now. "Lo.." she whispered.

"Camz, I don't want to lose you. I know I fucked up big time. Just... please don't walk away." She begged.

Camila looked in her eyes. Lauren wasn't malicious. She knows she cares about her. There was just one more problem. "What about Lucy?"

"What about her?" Lauren asks.

"Lauren I like you a lot. I admitted that the other night. I... I can't keep being around you if Lucy is around-"

"Consider her out." She tells her. Lauren was serious. She really wanted to work things out with Camila and if that meant throwing Lucy out of the picture, then so be it.

Just as Camila was about to respond, Dinah comes out on the walkway. "Hey Chancho I'm all set--oh whoops." she steps back when she notices someone unfamiliar. "Who is this?" she asks Camila.

Camila was nervous to actually introduce Lauren to her. After yesterday's conversation with her and Normani, Dinah made it pretty clear she didn't like Lauren. She couldn't exactly lie to her. And she couldn't tell Lauren she had told her best friend everything already. "Dinah this is Lauren. Lauren, this is Dinah, my best friend."

Dinah wraps her arm around Camila right away. She could feel Dinah's anger radiating off her. "Dinah please be nice right now." Camila whispers softly.

Dinah understood. She didn't want her to make a scene outside of her house right now and it was understandable. "Nice to meet you." she stuck her hand out for Lauren to shake.

With a firm grip, they shook hands. Lauren smiled softly as her hand was being silently crushed. Dinah lets go finally and reminds Camila that they need to get going before they miss checking in. "Yeah just give me a few more minutes with Lauren. Just wait in the car."

They wait until Dinah shuts the car door to finish their conversation. "She doesn't like me that much already huh?" Lauren asks looking down at her feet.

Camila lifts her chin up so she's looking in those gorgeous eyes again. She's just being overprotective of me. I told her everything... you can't blame her."

Lauren nods and sighs. "I don't blame her... but I mean it Camz. I don't wanna lose you."

Camila takes the initiative this time to wrap her arms around Lauren's neck. Lauren grabs ahold of her waist. "You're lucky I really like you Lo.."

"You're right Camz. I am the lucky one."

Camila bites her bottom lip as Lauren is smiling down at her. "I wish we could talk more but I have a flight to catch."

"That's okay. I'll be right here waiting for you to come back. Like I said... good luck on your trip." Lauren chuckles.

"Thank you Lo." Camila lets go and starts running to the car. Until Lauren pulls her back in and takes her lips on her own.
