Love&Basketball (Camren)

Chapter 48

lauren mentally groaned. she knew lucy well enough to know that once she decided on something it was pretty hard to talk her out of it. Suddenly though lauren had a devilish thought enter her head. she knew how to end this conversation really quick.

"We can share the bed if it's that serious. It is pretty big." lauren stated in the calmest voice she could muster. Of course she would be beyond embarrassed to actually share a bed with lucy, but she knew she would as well. Hell she would probably freak out call her a pervert and make her sleep on the couch after this suggestion. Well that was what lauren hoped.

The brief silence that followed lauren's comment brought a smile to lauren's face. she had won this battle. she was mentally holding up a victory sign in her head as she watched a blush come to lucy face. The girl also was avoiding her eyes now. That told her all she needed to know, there was no way she would continue this debate, lucy was far to sh-

"Ok."

lauren's thoughts came to a screeching halt. she couldn't have heard her right. "Excuse me?" lauren questioned finding extremely hard to keep her voice steady.

"I don't mind..." lucy's voice was quiet and lauren almost couldn't hear it, but without a doubt lucy was actually agreeing to her crazy idea.

lauren was almost positive that she was losing her mind. There was no way lucy was agreeing to sleep in the same bed as her. That was impossible.

"We're just sleeping alright! Don't get any crazy ideas!" lucy almost shouted. lauren's lack of a response was just making the situation even more embarrassing for her. Deep down she knew lauren wasn't suggesting anything inappropriate, but for some reason she still felt the need to say it just to cure her own uneasiness about the situation.

A deep blush came to lauren's face as she looked at lucy. "O-o-obviously!" lauren managed to sputter out still finding it hard to formulate a proper sentence.

lauren didn't even know why she was still going along with this. she should just tell lucy, she was kidding, but now it almost felt like she had no choice in the matter. If she told lucy she was just playing there was no doubt in her mind she would look like an asshole especially when it looked like lucy was so embarrassed, but still was saying yes because she didn't want to be a hindrance to her.

This was going to be an interesting night.

With camila

"What do you mean a back up plan?"camila  questioned. She couldn't help, but feel a bit relieved that simon wasn't going to just give up on her.

simon uncrossed his hands and for the first time since camila had entered the room stood up. "You don't become as successful as me without planning for contingencies. While I am disappointed that you don't wish to go with option A, option B still holds some promise."

A trace of a smile could be seen on camila's face. simon wasn't nearly as horrible as she had heard. There were rumors about how ruthless he was as a business man, but then again camila could only assume he didn't show that side to her because he wanted to work with her.

"Option B doesn't involve lauren right?" camila asked praying that it didn't. She really didn't want to do this piggybacking off of her relationship..or lack of one with lauren.

simon signed. He really did hate teenagers. "In a way it does, but it doesn't rely on her as much as option A did. With option B you will still be writing a song about the girl, but instead of throwing her under the bus you are just going to write what your heart feels.

"What my heart feels?" 

simon looked at the girl for a few moments before clicking a tiny red button on his desk.
