Sing To Me

Chapter 32

Lauren POV

I walk off the plane with tears still coming out of my eyes. I don't think I have stopped crying for the past six hours. I hate myself for being like this and right now I hate Camila for making me feel like this.

I pull my hood up and put sunglasses on. I know it's late at night and I'm in a building, but I don't want people looking at me. I slowly make my way to baggage claim. As I approach where the bags come, I see Normani. She walks up to me and throws her arms around me.

I collapse in her arms and the tears come out heavier. "Let it out." Normani says rubbing my back.

I cry in her arm for about five minutes before pulling away. "I'm sorry for making you come here."

"Hey no don't say that." Normani says. "I'm here for you Lauren, besides I was going to pick you up tomorrow anyways."

Right, I wasn't supposed to back here until tomorrow. My bag finally drops out and I grab it. I wheel it out to the airport bus that takes us to Normani's car. We stay silent until we get in her car and on the road.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

I take a deep breath.

***TEN HOURS EARLIER***

I woke up by someone kissing my cheek repeatedly. I finally open my eyes and Camila stops. "Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning."

"I thought we could go get breakfast before I have to leave to do my interview and rehearsal." Camila says sweetly.

I sit up and stretch my arms. "Okay sounds good." We both get out of bed and change.

We leave our hotel room and go down to the breakfast area. I scan everything they had. I decided on cereal and an apple. Camila went with cereal as well but she went with a banana.

"Did you sleep well last night?" I strike up a conversation while we eat.

"How could I not?" Camila smirks at me. "I was being held by the most amazing person in the world."

Cheesy Camila, I still like her the same. "So what you said last night... were you being serious?"

"About how that song turned me on?"

I almost choked on my cereal. "No not that. I think last night proved it did."

She sticks her tongue out me. "Guilty. Are you talking about me saying in the interview that we are dating?"

I nod. "Yeah that."

"Yes I'm being serious. There is nothing that is going to keep me from saying it." She says a matter of fact. I try not to smile, but it's hard not to. "It's okay to smile and be happy."

It's not that I want a spotlight on our relationship because I know when the media knows it will be harder, but I think it will help our relationship. Camila has been great with me, but sometimes I feel like she holds back because she can't be completely honest about us.

We finish up eating and go back to the room. "So my interview is across the street at the radio station. I probably won't be back before rehearsals. Will you be okay?"

"Yeah I will be okay."

Camila gives me a long kiss. "I will see you in a bit babe. We can go out in public and not have to hide anymore." She winks and walks out of the room.

Camila POV

I make my way across the street. The radio station was bigger than I expect. I was told how to get in the room I was supposed to go. I was about to get in there when I was being pulled in to a room.
