Chapter 2

After few more more 'spelling games' Lauren set herself down onto her panting chest leaning up on her elbows as she smile back promisingly into Camila's direction, her sweating forehead a momento of their passionate intimacy, they always just stare at each other after, just appreciating each other's deep beauty sometimes even for hours until they fell asleep peacefully however tonight would be different, at around 7:30 the loud chime of the doorbell sound out into the house, Sam's bellowing voice calling out for Lauren's name with a tint of anxiety noticed by both girls as they shot from the bed both instantly grabbing for their panties and equally baggy shirts

They quickly stumble halfway down the stairs before Lauren's body paused dead holding tightly onto the white wooden frame lining the stair case, her mouth wide open and shocked as she stood staring down into the open doorway, Camila remain confused staying a few stairs up from the elder as she glance down at Sam hoping for some kind of clue as to who it was causing such a sudden spike in tension

"Wow.. Lauren... look at you all grown up?"

The man spoke out into the awkwardly silent hall as nobody not even Lauren issued a movement, the confused look on her face quickly turning cold as she fix her eyes over the tall body trying to process in her head that he was actually standing right in front of her, she began walking slowly down the stairs one foot at a time getting closer with every pace

"Chris? W-what are you doing here?"

She finally voiced as her feet reach the cold marble in front of the man, she kept an obvious distance as he cock his brow hoping for a different answer Camila however still had no idea what was going on as she constantly look down for Sam's gaze which unfortunately kept fixed to the pair in front

"What? I'm not aloud to come visit my big sister?"

Camila's mouth flew open as a silent gasp flew from her mouth, Lauren had never spoke much about her siblings but to see the man stood there in person felt all too real, he looked strikingly similar to the girl which only left her feeling more intrigued, Chris extend his arm out reaching for a hug to which Lauren quickly denied flinching her arms up towards her chest as she quickly pace backwards

"I didn't ask you to!"

She shot back strikingly sending a sharp pain into Camila's chest instantly realising whatever had happened it wasn't something that had ended on good terms, Lauren's face detailing an uncomfortable glare as Chris pull back his arms offendedly

"Well I was supposed to swing by your office earlier but I got caught up! I'd have thought you may have been a little happier to see me after all this time?"

Lauren realised quickly that her brother in front was seemingly her mysterious guest expected a few hours earlier, Sam also cocked his brow as his hand nervously shift to his mouth finally looking up at Camila shaking his head lightly indicating her not to move from her place, he knew the Jauregui family better than anyone and his quick judgment on Lauren's body language bought him to the realisation he'd rather play it safe

"Happy? You walk into my house uninvited after 6 years and you want me to be fucking happy? Are you serious right now?"

She shot pacing forwards slightly with a lifted index finger, the three surrounding the pair all clinging to the silence they held hoping somehow the tension floating around would some how disappear but it didn't, the new man not quite getting Lauren's point as he furrowed his brow playing dumb to the girls disgruntled tone

"Come on Lauren? The past is the past right? Don't play like this I literally came here to see you..."

He replied walking forwards reaching for her hand in which she quickly snap it back behind her back with a deathly glare that still emit a sense of hesitancy, it was becoming more and more obvious to Camila however that Lauren was seriously uncomfortable and although powerful in her words the sharp sudden reactions from her body lit up her need to get away intensely, the girl however slightly annoyed Sam hadn't picked up on the same gestures as he stood the closest to her body
