Camila had stayed with her hoped to be boss for around 30 minutes before feeling the overwhelming sense of unwelcomeness riding throughout the quiet room, the bold woman staying as far across the bed from her as possible while smirking into her phone texting some unknown being.. she got up and awkwardly shimmied away with no reaction from the Raven only making herself comfy..
The next day was one she'd feared due to the now embarrassing feeling evening.. she felt stupid and pointless having let down the most powerful woman in the industry.. she had turned up for one thing and one thing only.. she couldn't even do that! Instead they watched some dumb show that neither was really interested in before both separated to sleep uncomfortably until the bellowing pound of the 5:30 am alarm..
"Look who it is! The reject representative!"
"Fuck off Sapphire! It's 6am! Haven't you got some bitching to do?"
Sapphire rolled her tired eyes with a happy smirk loving how easy it was to meddle with the new girl now shaken in her ego after her failed evening of 'company'.. she stepped forwards with a red berry drink in one hand while the other grabbed for the ends of her long hip length locks
"You can tell the time! Cleaver baby! So what is it today? Fake it till you make it?"
"Back off! Seriously! I'm not in the mood for your bullshit!"
Camila growled trying to step aside to pass the girl who only side stepped back in front of her tired body, the rage settling in as she lifted her tan arms to fold lazily in front of her low humming chest, the want for her to move soon to be a rather pressing issue
"I don't back off! I stay and stand my ground.. a shame you can't do the same?"
"What is your problem huh? With me! Because it seems like you're just fucking jealous! Miss J danced with me at the showcase! Sided with me when you couldn't do the simple thing and lift me in class? You're jealous *laughs* cute!"
Sapphire quickly grew angered at the girls spit back now confident and precise like a bullet through a target, she paced further forwards furrowing her brow with a towering gaze that struck down on the girl with the intent to claw back
"Why would I be jealous of a cheating, bulldozing scumbag like you! You couldn't qualify like a normal dancer so you have to beg.. it's embarrassing!"
"No, see the only embarrassing thing here is you! Walking around like you're the favourite when we both know daddy got you this scholarship! You can't dance for shit.. and your attitude? Childish! Get the fuck out of my way!"
Camila spat with a smirk before sapphire swallowed her rage to quickly throw her bright red drink over the girls crystal white shirt.. her arms flailing to pause mid stride now completely drenched in the liquid sticky and staining.. she rolled her eyes up slowly laying down on the blue before lunging forwards to slam the girl back into the wall, the brief altercation caught instantly by a firm yell echoing down the hall..
"GIRLS!"
Lauren yelled pacing furiously towards the pair now parting like the Dead Sea.. her tall black dressed body mesmerising to say the least.. her angered features however not so much! Camila swallowed harshly bringing her hands back to her thighs while the woman only came closer examining the situation with a firm eye before grabbing the Youngers chin with a single manicured digit
"What happened!"
"She threw her drink over me because she's a jealous little bitch!"
"You're such an asshole-
"QUIET SAPPHIRE! I didn't fucking ask you! Clean this shit up and go back to your room! When you've calmed that temper down maybe then you can walk my halls! Camila my office! Now!"
The woman spat with a vacant anger that only seemed directed at the tall blonde.. the younger followed anxiously holding her arms out as if not wanting to touch the sticky substance plastered all over her torso and hair.. she was furious! But also pained that even now the girl basically lived to mess with her calm..
Camila's POV
I entered in behind Miss J confused as to why she wanted me in her office while in such a mess.. she paced behind her desk grabbing what looked like a key before clicking her Ivory fingertips issuing me a request to follow.. I did.. right towards the back of the large room a tall door now being opened to reveal what was an equally sized bathroom.. fully fitted and ready to go..
"You have a shower in your office?"
"Don't look so surprised, normally I'm not covered in berries but.. this is a dance academy after all! Go, get cleaned up! I have visitors and I don't need them looking at a girl drenched in her own argumentative reward!"
I couldn't help but scoff slightly at her wording, again! This was a strange example of her attempts at kindness.. she could have easily sent me home or to the common showers but instead she was letting me use hers.. I kind of figured she made a lot of shit up.. visitors.. I wasn't so sure she even had any! But still! I made ways into the room glancing around as she followed briefly to show me how the stupidly complex shower worked..
"When you're done there's shorts and shirts in the closet right over there! You have practice soon so hurry it up!"
She snapped bluntly turning quickly back to leave the room.. I kind of didn't want her to go? Especially after last night I felt like I wanted something to happen.. even if it was angst filled yelling? Just something..
"You know I can make it up to you.. last night? Like a do over?"
She stopped in her place while my heart began to pound.. I didn't quite know how she'd respond but the fact she'd even turned around was enough.. I wanted to be with her intimately.. for real! Not just in the studio on some dumb whim.. I wanted whatever she wanted from me last night? Sensual magical touching? A promised experience..
"I'm a big girl! I don't need any kind of do over.. hurry up!"
She scowled walking again from the room but this time I didn't stop her.. I let her leave closing the door behind her as I rolled my eyes to begin undressing my body.. I kind of figured she'd say no.. she didn't seem the kind to say yes to anything unless it was proven to be her idea.. her.. idea?
I stepped into the shower brushing my fingertips over my hair rinsing through the shampoo trying to think how best to get her to want me again.. or at least admit it? She was stubborn and strong willed.. she needed it served to her on a platter with a starving stomach.. after last night? She must have been hungry..
It only took around 10 minutes to rinse the sticky liquid from my body, the sweet smelling lotion a key element in my confidence as I stepped out to look in the mirror.. my body dripping and hot.. the room filled with steam while my hands couldn't bare to look for any constricting items of clothing.. I just stared.. psyching myself up to try and serve the woman I was now craving a blatant request for her company..
"MISS J.."
I called out in an ask.. my lower lip falling between my teeth nervously as I held the towel now tightly around my chest making sure to cover everything as I heard the loud clapping heels pace towards the door, soon after her face peering behind with a cocked brow as of demanding a quick answer for my distraction
"I need some help.."
I murmered deeply letting go of my lower lip as I point down at my now dirty clothes.. she paced inside finally closing the door behind to open up a small cupboard with a laundry basket neatly tucked beneath.. I smiled reaching down for the garments throwing them inside before internally gulping to bare myself for the next trick.. I grabbed the hem of my towel dragging it from my body to place also inside of the basket.. I heard her gasp.. I saw her cheeks redden.. her eyes dart..
"You can look.. I won't bite! I mean.. unless you want me too?"
"I have work to do! You have rehearsals! J-Just get dressed!"
It was working! Her stutter filling the room as she paced back to try and turn away.. I lunged forwards grabbing her wrist forcing her to peer back with parted lips and an awkward trembling throat.. I used my grip to keep her near me before grabbing her other palm to lay over my naked still damp hip bone.. our bodies now overwhelmingly close separated only by the thick steam flourishing between us.. I glanced up waiting for her eyes to meet my own before finally the emerald green locked into my smirking gaze
"We have time Miss J..."
I hummed seductively.. she inhaled deeply in response.. gripping against my hip with a passion I could tell to be holding back..
"You can't just try and seduce me Camila! We're not seeing each other!"
"You said you like sex.. I don't really have much experience but I like it too.. last night was just a blip! I want you Miss J.. to make me feel good and to make me.. cum.. you don't want that too?"
I rasped tilting my head with a slow step forward that forced my damp body into her own expensively dressed stature.. black silk that felt amazing against my skin.. her warm hand over my hip confusing my senses as she glanced down now shamelessly at my bra free chest..
"It can be our little secret? Nobody has to know.. you don't wanna taste me Miss J?"
I continued, I could tell my provoking was working.. her grip grew tighter over my body while her chest began to heave.. deep breathing now shared between us as the steam began to clear.. only now did I realise just how naked I was.. how exposed I was.. I almost backed away for some clothes but when her hand lift to now graze my rib cage the shiver elicited couldn't be ignored..
"I don't want to taste you.. I don't want to fuck you either.. I want.. *deep breath* I want to own you.. have you whenever I want! Wherever.. I want.. I'm selfish like that, I don't think you'd be capable of adhering to my wishes.."
Something about the way she hummed that drawn out raspy sentence had me shivering.. trembling like a nervous school girl.. it sounded incredible.. euphoric? She was bold of course and I more than wasn't expecting it but.. I wasn't entirely angry at it either.. I knew however that I couldn't simply give her what she wanted.. I wanted something too..
"I'm capable Miss J.. but my respect for you won't last forever.. you can have me.. whenever and wherever you want! However.. how long you want! But .. you either give me your first name and number or my place at this academy.. if I'm here you have me whenever.. otherwise we're gonna have to make it a little more.. personal.."
She gulped.. I knew I'd got her! If I didn't have a place I'd be sleeping at home.. she'd have to call me or at least approach me for something in return.. if I was already here.. all she'd have to do is knock.. her grip on my ribs grew harsh, her pacing feet now walking me back into the counter that felt abruptly cold against my skin however with both of her palms now sinking to sit over my upper thighs all I could do was pause..
"Bribery? Sex for a place? You think that's how this works?"
"It's how we want it to work.. I can tell.. we both win in multiple ways so.. stay stubborn and loose it or.. take it.. all of it!"
I snapped back watching the green in her eyes darken as she bent her knees slightly to lift me up sitting against the counter.. my heart skipping a beat as she replaced her hands now into my inner thighs spreading them wide in front of her stomach forcing me to gulp as my hands lent back into the cold marble below.. hunger written over her face while she obviously thought about what it was she was going to say next.. my entire body grew hot.. scolding and burning with desire.. her tongue now escaping her mouth to wet her lips more teasing than ever as she bent forwards to test my flexibility.. pressing my thighs down into the counter with a tilted look down between my legs..
"The place is yours.. if you stop fighting with my girls.. but this is more than an exchange for sex.. you have to prove yourself! Step up and grow up too!"
I couldn't even respond.. the place.. it was- mine.. she really said that.. going back a few weeks she told me this wasn't the way to do things.. but now I guess we'd wanted each other so much it worked? In our own way we'd given into our stubbornness to reap the rewards.. Before I could even speak back however I felt her hands now drifting further into the centre of my body.. gripping palms spreading me further while her head began to dip.. her lips flowing closer into my core before hovering the space with her hot tempting breath.. I swallowed harshly.. felt the heat growing towards a sensation I'd never before felt.. I'd never had anyone's mouth.. there.. now hers.. teasing..
"Miss J-
"Shh!"
She quickly snapped back forcing another hot breath over my exposed clit only forcing my head back into the mirror with a frustrated grunt.. my palms pressing into the counter while hers pinned my thighs open.. she was doing it on purpose.. forcing me to watch her distance.. she let her tongue fall over her lower lip wetting it once again.. somehow I craved the sensation.. her tongue making me feel good.. I'd never experienced it before but it didn't feel like the first time..
"You have such a pretty pussy Camila! So wet and sweet.."
"Fuck.."
I mumbled to myself unable to wait any longer as I tried to buck up my hips not realising how strong her grip had been not even allowing me to move a single inch.. she laughed.. tilted her head rolling her eyes up to meet my own not breaking the contact as she smiled with an extended tongue dipping forwards to finally make smirking contact with my clit.. I squirmed immediately letting out a hearty whimper that echoed around the room as she pressed harder into my body still staring at my face with the want to see my reaction
"Mmm.. you do taste good.. so fucking good.."
She groaned now disconnecting our eyes to sink back against my core.. it felt.. incredible.. like bolts of electricity shooting up and down my body as her hot muscle circled and swiped at my clit.. the sounds of wetness combined with her light moans so intense I felt my body began to heat once again
"H-Holy shit.. fuck!"
I cried throwing my head back with heavy pants as she continued her seemingly magical tongue around my centre, her hot hands gripping with passion reacting to every moan I had given her.. she didn't slow the pace once.. only kept it going as my body jerked pinned under her touch.. how I'd never experienced this was baffling.. a hot wet sensation so strong my body cried in awe.. this was the first.. hopefully not the last
"Fuck! Miss J.. I love t-that.. ugh keep going.."
She did.. she swirled harder.. pressed deeper.. my entire body freezing in awe as she sucked back on my bundle of nerves as if living without food.. every swipe and pressure she elicited bringing me closer to the bounding high.. that was until I felt her pull away.. stand up with swollen plump lips smirking at me while I trembled to call her back..
"W-What are you-
"When you cum you relax.. you mellow out and you have a full day of rehearsals.. I can't have laziness Camila! When your day is over I will let you cum! If you behave that is! Now get dressed!"
She hissed pacing backwards with a strong strut that left her leaving the room.. leaving me.. alone.. stumbling over my thoughts pulled agonisingly from my high that I now had to wait for.. hours.. and hours..
_______
The day was long.. drawn out and tortured like a caged animal, for some reason every move of my body pained and with the promise of pleasure later I could only look at the clock begging for time to speed.. it didn't! Eventually the darkness crawled and the final yell from Emma sprung.. finished!
I grabbed for my bag brushing my palm over my stomach to leave shocked as a hot hand grasped hold of my shoulder pulling me backwards to see Sam standing with a single flailing arm
"Where have you been? I've been texting you?"
"I turned my phone off, didn't really feel like socialising.."
I tried to walk away with a dipped shallow head but predictably my wrist was caught, his slightly taller stronger body blocking me as the balls emptied
"Camila come on.. you can't hold this against me forever? We're best friends! Just talk to me I don't know? Come over to my room or something? We can watch movies like old times.."
"I don't want to ok!"
I snapped slightly louder than I had hoped.. I was mad of course but as I glanced around at the nosing faces I only sucked in a deep breath lifting a single digit to awkwardly scratch just below my nose, Sam dipped his gaze, rubbing his palms against his thighs with a defeated gaze I almost felt guilty for inflicting..
"Sam I- I'm not over it ok? Maybe I should be but I'm not.. I'm trying but I'm still angry.. I can't just ignore how I feel.."
"I know.. again I'm sorry but.. but I miss you Mila? You're like a sister to me and I hate not hanging out.. we're in the same building for fuck sake.. just give me a chance?"
"No.. not right now.. I'm sorry but you have to respect that.."
I trailed off heading towards Miss J's office feeling more than hurt by my own hesitation to forgive.. I often held myself back when I was in pain.. I had a tendency to be rather.. aggressive.. probably noted already but an example would be sapphire! I don't just argue I snap.. raise my fists and black out into a fit of rage I can't control, I never wanted to hurt Sam, even if I was mad.. so I was simply keeping my distance.. it's what I had to do..
I continued to walk lifting my hand to knock over the woman's door pausing with a short decision to simply enter.. I felt we were there.. like I didn't have to ask anymore? The second I entered her eyes lifted, the look received however slightly unexpected, she cocked a brow and placed down her pen folding over her arms with a shirt exhale out
"What's wrong?"
"W- nothing? I just finished rehe-
"Did you argue with sapphire again? Samuel?"
She was intelligent I knew that, but to read me with only a seconds glance felt strange, like I was predictable.. I gulped gently gripping hard against my thigh as I paced further into the room, her emerald eyes not once leaving my face..
"No.."
"Don't lie to me! We're you fighting again?"
I felt my blood tremble at her firm tone, she was authoritative and blatant.. could read people like books and honestly it terrified me.. I only dipped my head letting out a puff of air
"Sam wanted to talk after class and I shut him down.. h-he wanted me to hang out with him.. ma'am.."
It was almost as if our little moment in the bathroom earlier had never even happened, my eyes now fearing her response as she huffed loudly with a strict lean back into her chair, she stared still.. examined my posture before looking over at the wall
"Come here"
She asked, I paced forwards around to her side of the desk folding my arms behind my back waiting for the only just given place to be revoked, yet somehow when I looked up those bright flashing green eyes only seemed soft and gentle? Not piercing or threatening as they always were.. she unfolded her arms but crossed her thigh.. ran her fingertips through her hair allowing it to tumble over her shoulder in a way I couldn't ignore
"Your friend is talented. He learns quickly and has a great face! He fits.. now.. *sigh* I know it's hard when someone you love and trust comes in and takes something from you but.. that's life.. holding grudges and being aggressive won't fix or change that.."
"I'm not aggressive-
"You have had sapphire by the throat many times Camila! She's bitchy and entitled but you are quick to pounce.. why.."
I didn't know how to answer her question because honestly I had no idea.. I'd always been that way.. struggled with my temper even in the smallest of situations.. my life hadn't been easy of course but I couldn't remember a time I'd handled conflict any other way.. the only thing stopping me from clawing back now the soft tone Miss J had adopted.. it was tender and quiet.. deep and calm?
"I don't understand your question ma'am.."
"Why do you jump to fight is what I'm asking.. instead of walking away or just.. bitching back?"
She was genuinely intrigued it seemed.. not asking to scold but to enquire.. I'd never thought about it in all honesty.. not like this anyway.. I hated talking personal and deep.. it wasn't my thing and it seemed it wasn't hers either..
"I don't know."
"You don't know.."
"No!"
I snapped back quickly lifting my palm over my lips with rolling eyes knowing the snark had left my mouth before my brain could tell it not to.. she lent forward lifting her brows with a shock in her tone I knew I'd soon regret.. yet again.. she surprised me? Her grin softened with a deep breath as she drummed her fingertips across the arm of the chair
"What are you so afraid of Camila?"
"What is that supposed to mean.. I'm not afraid-
"You're afraid of something! Someone.. yourself maybe? You're defending something! In there *points at the girls head* inside!"
I shivered at her examination, it felt as if she was tearing me apart.. picking at my life as if under a magnifying glass I only wanted to burn me.. I didn't like thinking nor talking about my very evident flaw.. mainly because I didn't entirely understand it.. I stayed silent for a moment and she didn't feel needed to fill the gap.. not for a while anyway as she pondered gently over my now uncomfortable stature..
"Camila I need you to understand that this place.. the one I offered you earlier today? It's only going to work if you cool down? I can't assign you a job for some huge company to have you fighting with your team? Someone looks at you the wrong way and you snap.. this.. you.. it's my reputation!"
She pleaded.. only now did I feel bad.. knowing of why she was interrogating me..
"I won't do that.. I can keep it together I swear?"
"You haven't shown me that yet! Every opportunity of conflict you've become aggressive and yes I know these bitches are testing.. but you have to hold it together! For your sake too!"
I'd never heard her so honest and raw.. it felt like a dream having her talk to me as if a therapist.. although I didn't want one.. I hated the idea actually! But I smiled back with a nod instead, funnily enough my blood began to boil for no reason.. she was being kind but it was making me angry!
"How can I prove it to you then.. you said I had the place you can't take it back? You said it-
"I'm not taking it away.. I'm telling you! Cut the bullshit! Practice what you preach and show me! You have rehearsals tomorrow with sapphire too.. prove that you can ignore her! Shut her out!"
It's funny I begged in my mind for her to respect me.. but now she was.. I didn't like it? I wanted her kindness but now I didn't.. I wanted her soft tone but now it burnt.. I didn't know why..
"I've been proving shit my entire life! Tomorrow won't be so difficult! Now stop being fake nice to me.. I get it!"
"Woah wow stop.. fake nice?"
She questioned lifting her brow.. again it was a comment that just happened.. slipped from my tongue without realisation.. she seemed confused..
"Yeah.. you don't care about me or my place? Just being honest.. I'd rather you be honest too! I don't need your fake kindness! Just tell me how it is I'm a big girl!"
She stoped.. went to respond but paused herself.. I felt dirty after my last statement.. like I knew I'd stepped out of line being ungrateful but my body didn't stop me from saying it.. I was expecting a bitch back but still.. she was faking..
"Ok I'm not responding to that! Let's rewind, you have a place if you can keep your shit tame! I will prep a room for you to move into tomorrow night but until then you need to go home and relax.. your energy is draining me right now!"
She ignored it.. didn't even try to defend herself which must of meant it to be true.. she was being fake! I wasn't dumb I could see it.. the way she had been with me in the past it was obvious! This was all to transfer me inside.. an act..
No One's POV
Camila had left with a sharp huff leaving Lauren to turn in her chair before her best friend Fallon entered in with a calm late night beam.. the still full bottle of liquor on the desk a shock as normally by now it would be near half empty..
"Good day I'm guessing?"
Lauren sighed with a small but awkward laugh lifting her tired head to greet the tall woman also finished with her tedious day
"I gave Camila the place.. you can say I told you so now.."
Fallon cocked a brow stepping forwards with a smile to lean down into the desk with a frowning grin of success..
"I won't crush your ego with that one you're good girl.. but.. why? Why the change of heart?"
"Because she's a good dancer.. money making face and.. she has more balls than most in this place.. she's good Fallon.."
"Wow well.. I'm shocked but.. relieved.. she's pretty cool! As much as I hated her before.. she's growing on me!"
Fallon smiled gently accepting the woman's for once relaxed tone.. she examined her strong features for a moment however noticing something off in the way she held her low chin.. she was deep in thought.. pondering something she only grew intrigued at..
"You seem distracted.."
"She's damaged.."
Fallon paused with a stutter now gently sitting as she watched the woman articulate her thoughts..
"Damaged?"
"People don't jump to fight like she does.. Sapphire can be the worlds biggest bitch I know but.. even in here? She couldn't deal with the fact I was being nice to her?"
She explained.. her eyes trained to the desk as if hurt by her own realisation.. Lauren didn't react to much but she cared for her girls.. Camila was one of them now.. in fact the woman had grown soft for her way before her face showed.. Something about her struck her.. she just didn't see it until now..
"She's just a little snappy LJ.. it's good old spirit as your mom used to say.."
"No!.. it's not that! I don't know.. I just saw something.."
"Well.. maybe you should drink more mama.. she's fine!"
Fallon laughed before pulling her keys with a smirk
"I'm going home.. you should too Lo.. rest that heavy head of yours!"
Lauren only smiled back leaning in her chair accepting the fact she was simply tired.. she decided not to read too much into it.. decided that maybe the girl really was just a little mouthy..
Tomorrow would tell all..
