Think Again (Camren)

Musically Challenged

"Me too." Austin butted in and kissed Camila on the cheek before lacing his fingers with hers. "So what's the project?"

"We were given partners in class and have to stick to a budget and each day, we're given tasks to do or something could happen and we'd work through it like a married couple." Kyla nodded, smiling.

"So..." Austin looked between Camila and I.

Camila chuckled and grabbed my hand with her free one and pulled me close. "Yes, I'm married to Lauren, who woulda thunk it?" She shook her head, still chuckling. I chuckled with her.

"I'm beginning to think you'd rather marry the wrong cousin." Austin raised an eyebrow. Of course it was just teasing, but that one comment made the air in the room awkward, to say the least.

"Okay, we should get going before we keep Sofi and Sammy waiting." Camila distanced herself between Austin and I and grabbed Kyla's hand instead, heading downstairs.

I followed close behind and Austin was on my tail. "Stop checking her out." He whispered in my ear as we made our way downstairs.

I whipped around and frowned at him. "Would you stop that? I wasn't checking her out." You know, I really wasn't that time. Weird, eh? I was thinking about what our late night project as 'husband and wife' would turn out to be like.

I've barely kissed Camila in the past week. I was aching for her and I wanted her. Just to feel her beneath me while we kissed and kissed and kissed...

You get the point.

Upon arriving at the diner, Sofi was already there in a booth. "Jesus Christ on crutches, took you long enough? What happened, did Kyla drown in the shower again after practice?" She quirked a grin as Kyla swatted her.

"Lauren was! She took forever to get ready." Kyla slid in the booth next to Sofi as I slid in next to Camila, leaving her between me and Austin.

"Oh whatever!" I gasped. "I was ready before prissy boy here." I pointed to my cousin.

"I needed to look good for the ladies," Austin winked.

Gross.

Arrogant.

Ass.

Prick.

Shall I continue?

"How'd guitar lessons go?" Camila asked her sister. Sofi was 'teaching' Sammy how to play guitar.

Sofi blushed slightly. "Uh, good."

Supposedly.

Sammy, who was the quietest person I've ever met, blushed as well. She was always getting asked out, from what I heard. Beautiful girl, she was. I quirked an eyebrow at the younger Cabello, who looked away quickly. Huh. Practice? Riiight.

"You're not buying that, are you?" I whispered in Camila's ear.

She smirked and shook her head but remained silent.

"Oh hey, Laur!" Austin slapped the table and grinned at me. All of us girls looked at him, slightly shocked by his sudden outburst. "I was going to talk to you about something."

I peered over at him and raised an eyebrow. Camila mimicked me.

"Well there's this chick on the hockey team at school," he began and I breathed in deeply, getting prepared for what he was about to say next, "she's cute, funny, cute, and gay. She's also single and we were talking, I mentioned you. She wants to get to know you more, so I figured we could all go on a date?"

I swallowed thickly.

Camila shook her head with an eye roll.

And my lovely Sofi spit the coke out of her mouth before covering it with a fit of giggles, wiping it. Yes, only she knew that Camila and I were a couple. And only she found the situation remotely funny.
