Request from @AFanOfManyThings on Wattpad: Camila is a barista and always screws up Lauren's name on purpose

----

Lauren was bored of Starbucks.

They were everywhere all the time.

Not to mention fucking expensive.

So she'd decided to try out some of the smaller chain coffee shops around Miami.

And to be honest? They were just as good, if not better. Lauren had said fuck it to Starbucks and was now trying to convince her friends to ditch them too.

Normani said fat chance... which was more PG than Ally's outcry.

Not to say she didn't try and tempt them with bribery.

It was almost working.

Anyway, Lauren had moved onto the sixth place in her neighbourhood. This one was cute, very vintage and hipster-ish. It almost looked like something off her Tumblr page. Everything just screamed aesthetic and calm.

She'd been waiting in line, scrolling her Instagram when she reached the front.

"I'll have a black coffee." Lauren said with a smile. The girl taking her order rang it up but kept glancing at her with a smirk. Normani didn't understand why she hated Starbucks if all she drank was black coffee.

Lauren gave her name, something Starbucks had forced into most coffee shops these days, and waited. The girl whispered something to her co-worker who glanced over at Lauren.

Lauren had never seen such warm, brown eyes before. She smiled reflexively and the girl ducked her head back down behind the coffee machines.

"Dinah, gimme some space here." The girl grumbled at the other girl, Dinah, as she moved back to the cash register.

"Just sayin'."

"Yeah I know what you're saying." The girl mumbled as she snapped a lid onto Lauren's coffee.

"Thanks." Lauren said quietly, taking the coffee with a smile.

"No problem... Lauser." The girl said with a bright smile. Lauren paused before she caught sight of the time and had to rush out.

"So that's what you're going with huh?" Dinah asked with a shake of her head.

"I don't know what you mean." Camila smiled innocently.

"Gonna keep fucking up her name until she says something?"

"Maybe."

Lauren found herself inexplicably drawn back to that coffee shop - Harmony's.

Everyday during her break she'd end up back there.

Their coffee was pretty damn good, and the vibe it had fit Lauren's so that was it.

And then there was Camila.

Lauren had noticed her name tag the second time she was there. Camila with her gorgeous eyes, stunning face, hair always pulled up into a messy ponytail. She was stunning and seeing her made Lauren's day just that much better.

Not that she'd ever, on pain of death, tell her that.

Hell no.

The girl always messed up her name.

It started off with names vaguely similar to hers; Laura, Lorna, Lana, Laurie.

These days it was whatever popped into her head first apparently.
