The Secrets We Keep (CAMREN)

Chapter 22: Irritated

Camila's POV

I was completely nervous about this weekend. Not only was it a weekend at the beach with my family, Lauren was coming too. Don't get me wrong I'm happy she is coming because that means I get my Lauren time, but I'm also nervous because knowing my parents, they will put Lauren and I in a room together and by the way her and I were handling things well something was bound to happen.

I was also happy that I'd be getting away from Chris, who was becoming an annoying tick. I was glad when my dad said that he didn't want Chris to tag along but that he'd be happy if Lauren came so I was grateful for that. I just hope that Sofi wants to tag along every second so I'm not left alone with Lauren for too long. I was packing the last few things I needed when I get a text and I already know who it is.

Chris: Are you sure you can't ask your parents if you could stay behind?

Me: Yes Chris I'm sure. And my parents have been planning this trip for weeks.

I text back even though that last part was a lie

Chris: I'm sad I can't go with you. We would have had so much fun.

Me: Yeah too bad but um I got to keep packing bye Chris

Chris: I'll call you later. I love you and I'm going to miss you.

As I read his text I roll my eyes. Sure, he loves me enough to sleep with another girl, and get so drunk to almost rape me. God I hope Lauren gets here soon.

I decide to not text Chris back because I can't say I love him too, when I don't. So I continue to pack the last items I'm taking with me. Not even 10 minutes later and my phone starts to ring making me groan as I answer.

"What is it Chris? I'm packing" I answer annoyed already

"Whoa princess is the annoying brat being intolerable already?" I hear Lauren respond

"Sorry Lo and yeah he's getting annoying again" I answer passing my hand through my hair.

"You know all you have to do is break up with him" she says and I know she's smirking.

"You already know why I can't do that right now" I tell her and I know she isn't smiling anymore.

"Whatever, I'm almost at your house" she says and I know it's her irritated tone.

"Lauren please don't be like this" I say pleading

"I'm almost at your house. I'll see you in a little bit" she says and hangs up

Crap she's hurt. Now what do I do. I hate having to deal with this and it's always because of Chris. This weekend is already starting off bad and we haven't even left yet.

I was brought out of my thoughts when the door bell rang, so I went down stairs and opened the door knowing it was Lauren.

Lauren's POV

I know I shouldn't be forcing Camila to break up with Chris because so far she has no reason to, but I really can't stand him bugging her every second of the day. I got to her house a bit calmer than I was on the phone, and when she opened the house door I knew I messed up.

"Hey" I say to her with a small smile

"Hey um where did you park?" she asks and I nod my head to the right meaning on the other block. It has become a new thing when I came here that I'd park my car away from the house for if Chris decided to show up out of the blue.

I walked inside when she moved to the side and dropped my bag next to Sofi's, then closed the door behind me. I followed Camila up to her room and I could tell she wasn't too happy right now, so when we got to her room I closed her door then turned around to grab her hand and make her look at me.

"I'm sorry" I say to her as I caress the back of her hand. "I know that you're waiting to have a proper reason to break up with him, and that you want that reason to be him admitting that he cheated. It's just that I can't stand the fact that he is bugging you so much and that I can't do anything about it because I promised to not get involved" I say to her while looking in her eyes

"I hate that he's annoying the shit out of me too but I can't just break up with him for that alone, and I'm happy you're keeping that promise but sometimes I do wish you would get involved so that he doesn't always make us get annoyed with each other or make me want to kill him myself" she says and I let out a laugh

"I'm serious Lauren, you're not the only one who wants to kill him. My dad is about to cancel my phone because Chris calls me at midnight almost every night" she says and I laugh again

"Yeah I can imagine Papa C wanting to kill him. Especially since your ring tone is annoying as fuck" I say smiling

"Ok, ok I get it my ring tone makes you want to chop your ears off, but are we ok or" she starts but I stop her by giving her a kiss then pulling away

"We're good baby. Plus I'm not ruining this perfect weekend" I say winking at her then going to her bed and laying down with a smile

"Good now I need help with what bathing suits to take" She says walking to her drawer and I smile wider as I sit up

"When do your parents get home?" I ask with a smirk

"In an hour and half why?" she asks turning to look at me

"You can try on each bikini you own and I can tell you which ones look amazing on you and which ones not to take" I respond biting my bottom lip

"Uh- no I'm good I think I can choose them without trying them on" She says turning back to look into her drawer and I know she's nervous about something

"Camz what's wrong? You never use to have a problem with me seeing you in a bikini" I say getting up from her bed.

"I just" she starts but I walk over to her and hug her from behind

"Camz your perfect. I know that in this head of yours, you think you won't look amazing in a bikini but trust me you're hotter than me. Now will you please show me the ones you are thinking of taking so I can think of ways to keep guys away from you this weekend" I say kissing her neck and making her giggle

"Mhm. fine you win but you have to keep your hands to yourself. I know you, miss I'm in LOVE with Camila Cabello" she says mocking me because always does that when I end up getting my way.

"Yes I'm in love with you and you have no problem with it so stop complaining" I say giving her kisses on her cheek and neck, but as I'm about to kiss her lips her phone goes off and I groan but she laughs as she answers.

"Hello" she says putting it on speaker

"Baby I'm at your door can you open up I want to see you before you leave" I hear Chris' voice say and Camz just looks at me.

Great here I go again hiding in her room and clenching my fist so I don't kill my little brother.
