Baby Come Back

Chapter 20

He's carrying her books. He pulled out her seat for her in class. He opened every door she's walked through since this morning. He called her Laur. He's too close to her. He's laughing at her jokes. Hes doing everything i should be and I'm going to explode.
Lunch comes around at a ridiculously slow pace after classes filled with silently watching Ben and Lauren flirt. I've snapped 3 of my pencils and broke the zip to my bag when I was a little too worked up about it, but I couldn't help it.
I walk out the front doors of the school to find Lauren leaned up against my car, cigarette dangling from her mouth and her headphones in, playing on her phone. I quickly walk over to her and without even a hello I quickly take the cancer stick out of her mouth and push my lips onto hers. She's stunned for a minute before I feel her lips relax against mine. I roughly move my hands up and squeeze her boobs through her shirt, causing her to open her mouth in surprise and in response I push my tongue into her mouth. I push myself futher into her so my whole bodies flush against hers and I tangle one of my hands in her hair while the other kneads her left boob. The kiss was defiantly faster than our normal intimate pace but I couldn't help it.
She pulled away , her lips were swollen and her face was full with shock.
"Camila, what the fuck?" I says as she wipes the side of her mouth with the back of her hand.
"Hi princess" I say and plaster a face smile on my face. I hook my fingers in her belt loops and pull her closer and kiss her neck. I feel her hands on my shoulders and she softly pushes me back.
"Camila, were going to drive to Claire's diner and you're going to tell me why you tried to dry hump me in the middle of the school parking lot, okay?" She said looking into my eyes and I know I've been caught out. I nod sheepishly and open her door for her, before climbing into the drivers seat and driving us to the diner.
We meet Claire at the till and she leads us over to our little booth at the back of the room. I slide into the seats as my tummy does summersaults. I can't tell her I'm jealous, it's probably hard enough for her to be around Jake all the time, and Ben could help us by putting jakes mind at ease about Laurens dating life. But that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with it. If I had this my way I'd have already have made sure that black haired bimbo knows who Lauren comes home to every night.
I heard her sigh and I look up to see Lauren with a smirk similar to the one she had on her face the day we met.
"What?" I snap, but of course her smirk doesn't fall from her face.
"Nothing.." She says trying to hide her face behind the menu.
"Lauren Michelle stop smirking right now or I'm leaving." I protest and I hear a snort of laughter obviously trying to be suppressed from behind the menu.
"Fine, I'm not going to sit here and be laughed at" I say as I start to get up.
"No! Don't go I'm sorry baby..please" she says as she drops the menu and looks at me with sad eyes.
"What's wrong?" She asks as she takes my hand over the table.
"Nothing" I mutter but I knew she was reading me like a book. She knows me so well she probably knew I was jealous the second I saw her this morning.
"Is it Ben?" She asks as she lifts my chin up so I look her in the eyes. She throws me a huge smile that I can't help but return and hers grows.
"There's that pretty smile." She says as she plays with my fingers and her eyes crinkle at the sides since she's smiling so big.
"You know there was this girl back in Texas. She went to the same church as me and when I say she was gorgeous I mean she was gorgeous. Her name was Selena and she was the most popular girl in town. She asked me out 17 times in the first six months of me being there. And every time I flat out said no. I think she got the message that I wasn't going to go on a date with her, so she changed her tactics and asked me to hang out with her and her friends. I said yes and I turned up to her house, and of course all of her friends 'couldn't make it' so it was just her and me.
I spent four hours talking non stop about my beautiful girlfriend who was waiting for me when I was going to travel back home. I told her about everything we've done and what we plan to do, and lets just say Selena didn't try anything with me ever again." She finished with a smirk and I look at her blankly.
"What does that have to do with the ogre who's been drooling over you all day" I mumble and she smiles.
"It shows I am not interested in anyone but the girl sitting in front of me. All my lovin's been taking by my boo" she says the last bit in a thick jersey accent and I can't hold in the snort that spills out of me.
"He's got absolutely nothing on you. I mean you looked so hot in Spanish I wanted to rip your clothes off right there in front of everyone" she whispered over the table while keeping eye contact with me.
"Lauren.." I warn and she smirks.
"You know that I'm in love with you Camila. Every inch of you, I'm sorry I haven't shown you lately and we've got to go through this but I am yours forever, I promise" she says and I melt. She's got me wound around her pinky finger and I wouldn't want it any other way.
"Go through what exactly?" I ask slowly and her face goes blank.
"Well em..Ben asked me out today, just before I left.." She trails off and I see red.
"And what did you say?!" I fired back.
"I eh-I said yes" she mummers quietly and I can't deny unbearably jealous and most of all, hurt. My chest ached and I felt like sobbing right here in the middle of this run down diner.
"Okay" I said while I looked down. I took my hand back from Laurens and I was quiet for the rest of our lunch.
The car ride back to school was horrible and cold, but school wasn't any better either. While I was out with Lauren someone painted "DYKE" in huge letters all over my locker. I turn around with tears forming in my eyes to see Jake, Ben and a a few other kids laughing and staring; including Lauren. I've never been so disappointed in her in my life.
