POV Lauren Jauregui
Camila Cabello, that was the name of the girl that I almost "killed", I shook my head letting out a chuckle while opening the door of my apartment. She looked so sweet but also firm, she was elegant and her mesmerizing hair would be ones doom, I gave her my card, I decided to be firm by doing so and stating that she was going to show up at the club tonight, have you heard that story that if you throw positivity or certainty to the universe, he will conspire in your favor and make it happen? Well, maybe I wanted to see her again.
I had spent a lot of time with Britt today, she was a lovely brunette, she had beautiful breasts and the sex wasn't that bad, I was so exhausted from having to get rid of that assholes dead body, that after a night of sex with her I allowed myself to sleep in her apartment, but I left before she woke up, I was terrified of getting attached in relationships, since my mother died, I vowed to never create anymore connections and I wouldn't, Britt understood that but I couldn't risk it.
I undressed myself, put on a gray robe with black details, I turned on my bathtub and opened the cabinet that was on the spacious bathroom, I grabbed a mint bath bomb, I enjoyed using it and today was a special day, I needed to refresh myself, free myself from last night and its events, I waited a few minutes and turned it off. I took off my robe and got in, feeling in my body a nice burning, I was marked, scratched and bitten, Britt liked to be a little rough with me but I can't say that I don't like it. Since I'm always taking the reins of everything around me it was nice to be dominated from time to time.
I got out of the bath and I heard my phone ringing, it was her, Britt:
-Bonjour. - I said smiling.
-You bitch, I woke up alone.
-Dear Britt, you were suppose to sleep alone too. - I let out a malicious chuckle, I went to my nightstand and grabbed a cigarette lighting it up.
-I thought that could change, Laur... - she said with a sly voice from the other side.
-Oh! Don't be naive my love. - I swallowed the smoke letting it out in a hurry.
-Fine! I was really just calling to scold you.
-Was it not enough all the atrocities you did to me last night? - I asked chuckling.
-I'll make it worse next time. - I heard my phone beep, I looked at the screen and there was a call on hold, it was my father.
-Britt, I have to go, I'll see you later.
-Take care beautiful. - that was the last thing I heard her say, I ended the call and answered the man who claimed to be my father:
-Lauren, daughter...
-Excuse me?! You filthy pig, don't call me daughter. - I said pulling harder the smoke of the cigarette that was between my fingers into my mouth.
-Don't speak to me like that...
-I speak the way I want to, you are disgusting, just tell me what you want.
-When will you move on?
-Look at how ridiculous you are, I only keep in touch with you because of Taylor, if it wasn't for her I'd have probably killed you, one day I'll take her from you. - my words came out so firm and full of hate, ugh how I wanted to kill that rat.
-You left home very early, you have no rights over your sister.
-I'll ask one more time... WHAT DO YOU WANT?
-Your part that is by right yours here in the company, it's already in your account, I need you to come here to sign the receipts.
-I hope I don't see you. - it was all I said, hanging up and throwing the phone harshly on my bed.
I had so much disgust for that man, he had caused me so much pain when I was younger and as a consequence my mother went crazy and died in a sanatorium. He sent me several times to those places too but I ran away from all of them, I remember like it was today, how it all began.
I shook my head getting rid of these thoughts, I extended my arm and grabbed the remote on my nightstand and turned on the TV, they were talking about the crime that I had committed the previous night, look at that, they suspect it's a serial killer:
"This morning the body of Alfred, a 41 years old man was brutally murdered, his body was found in an alley near the police station, today it was revealed by the police that there's a possible suspicion that we have a serial killer in our hands, since the last murders, a total of 9, the bodies were found with a Polaroid picture of the victims eyes. The police didn't give us any information regarding the investigation, only that they are calling him the Maniac Polaroid..."
I turned off the TV laughing, that name is ridiculous, they called them victims, nothing hurts my ears more and how come they don't think a woman could've committed those crimes? That was pissing me off, I wonder how come they haven't connected the dots? They are so dumb. I looked at the watch and it was 09:15AM, I had a free day since I only work at night, so I decided to go sign the damn receipts.
I got up and put on black pants, combat boots and a loose shirt, my hair was wild like I just finished having sex, I love my hair like this, it gives me a sexy vibe. I put on my dark glasses, I went to the living room grabbing my car keys and I went to the garage, but before I go to the Jauregui's, I was going to leave something at the police station, I wanted to be recognize and I was going to help them.
POV Camila Cabello
-Miss Cabello?
-Yes? - I asked looking up to face Jacob that was leaning against the door.
-We just received this in the station's mailbox. - I motioned for him to come closer and then he handed me an envelope, I opened it and there was a note that was scribbled and drawn with a few words.
-What does this mean? - I asked noticing that in the note it was written the first verse of the national anthem. Who the hell sent this? I turned the note around and it was signed by the Maniac Polaroid.
-He's messing with us right? - Jacob asked letting out a chuckle.
-It just aired this morning the report that I authorized on the disclosure of his nickname.
-Yeah I know. - he said without interest.
-Can't you see it? He came here to the station to deliver this little note personally. It's an affront. - I said running a hand through the ponytail that I had done in my hair, releasing it.
-THE SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS! - Jacob said excitedly.
-YES! - I said excitedly, getting up and going in hurried steps towards the monitoring room, Jacob followed me.
I knocked twice on the door and no one answered it so I turned the knob and opened the door, Mr. Benjamin that was responsible for the station's security system was taking a nap. I cleared my throat and he didn't wake up, Jacob laughed, I cleared my throat again and nothing, Jacob laughed again getting on my nerves, I elbowed him in his stomach making him groan loudly and only like this did Mr. Benjamin wake up.
-Miss Cabello. - he said as he got up.
-Hello Benjamin, I need your help, I want to take look at the surveillance cameras that are looking over the station's entrance door.
-I'm sorry, ma'am, but that's impossible.
-What do you mean "that's impossible"?
-Mr. Prado cut the surveillance of this station. - he said making me burn with hatred.
-WHY THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?
-Spending cuts. - Jacob said making me look at him - He said he was going to cut expenses.
-Exactly, he said that a station that's full of cops doesn't need more security. - said Mr. Benjamin earning more laughs from Jacob, I snorted.
-I left the surveillance room in a hurry, I was mad, I was incredulous with such stupidity and the worse, I could not scold Mr. Prado like I wanted to because he was above me, but he's so dumb, a first class dumbass.
I grabbed the note that the killer left in the station and I spent a good time staring at it, just observing the details of his handwriting, how long did I stare at it? I don't know... Seconds, minutes and what woke me up from that trance was the noise of one of the police radios making me look away from the note.
-Vic. - I called her going to her desk.
-Yes, Miss Cabello?
-I want the special cases team in my office in 10 minutes.
It didn't take long and everyone was there.
-The killer can be white, black, tall, thin, short, Asian, hairy, bearded, strong or fragile, he can also be a she, the killer could be a woman and all we have are these Polaroid pictures sent by himself. - everyone was listening attentively - And now I have this note, I received it about 10 minutes ago, which one of you is at ease and is good at analyzing handwriting?
Everyone looked between each other until Allyson spoke.
-I'm very good at it, ma'am.
-Great, everybody out, I only want Miss Brooke in my office. Everyone nodded and left, Allyson was a bit scared, she was a rookie, she was only working with us for 3 months.
-When someone writes something and sends it anonymously that person tries to disguise it so it can't be recognized. - she said while I walked from one side of the office to the other.
-Go on.
-Which results in blurry and shaky letters, like he's not sure of what to write or how to write. - Allyson ran a hand in her forehead wiping a bit of sweat.
-Miss Brooke? Are you feeling alright? - I asked giving her a glass of water.
-Yes, it's just that I admire your work so much and I always dreamt about working with you, Miss Cabello. - the girl was so nice that she earned a smile from me that until now I hadn't shown.
-I'm pretty sure we will get along very well. - I said winking at her - Anything else?
-Yes! This handwriting is very firm and well drawn, I can say with certainty that this is the serial killer's handwriting, he probably thinks that we'll never find out who he is, so he doesn't care if he leaves clues, or, he wants to be found.
-A game?
-Maybe.
-Thank you, call Miss Hansen and Miss Iglesias, please. - Allyson nodded and left the room. Dinah, Veronica and Allyson entered my office and Allyson was about to leave when I called her.
-Miss Brooke? Wait a moment because I want to talk to you too. - the three turned and approached my desk sitting down on the three chairs that were in front of my desk while I got up and walked to a little table where my teas and coffee were.
-What's going on? - Veronica asked
-Nothing, I just wanted to make a request. - I walked back to my desk, sitting on my chair taking a sip of my chamomile tea - Do you want one? - Veronica chuckled while Dinah was looking at me with a "are you serious" face and Allyson had a smile on her face.
-No, thank you very much. - they answered in harmony, making me laugh while I took another sip of that amazing tea.
-I'm sorry ma'am but is that all? - Dinah asked a little impatient as usual.
-No. - I gave them a big smile letting my back rest against the chair letting my body relax - I wanted to invite you to go to a little club today after work, of course. - As soon as I said this Veronica's face lit up showing excitement just like Dinah's, they always liked to party. Allyson looked at me surprised.
-Does that include me, ma'am? - Allyson asked me making me laugh.
-Yes, agent Brooke. - Allyson gave me a beautiful shy smile - But if you don't want to, or have another thing to do, it's okay, we can reschedule.
-No, no, I'll go, even though I don't usually go out, but I accept.
-Great. - Veronica said and quickly got up - Let's party girls! - Dinah and I started laughing while Allyson looked at her scared.
-Later, Miss Iglesias. - Vero stopped and smiled at me - Now you can all go, I have to look at these cases of sexual abuse, every day the number of cases like these ones keeps getting bigger.
-Yes ma'am... We are giving our best to catch these monsters. - I only nodded - Well we are going now, anything you need call us on the radio, I am going on a round with Jacob. - Dinah finished before leaving along with Veronica and Allyson.
As soon as they left I heard my phone ringing, it was Rob.
-Hi baby. - he said excitedly.
-Hi. - I spoke without enthusiasm, these cases were killing me and I needed a distraction.
-Your voice sounds a little distant, are you okay?
-Just stressed. - I told him dryly and precise.
-You need a vacation, but you also need to eat, are we still up for lunch?
-Of course honey, we are, come pick me up at the usual time.
-Ok, see you later. - it was all I heard before ending the call, I looked at the serial killer's note again.
"Why do you want to play with me... Ugh, why me??!!" - I thought.
POV Lauren Jauregui
I stopped my car in front of the big building of Jauregui's law firm, our firm was formed with the best lawyers from different areas, including criminologists, ironic right? Well, our firm was hired by other companies or even in personal and special cases, my mother, besides being the boss, was also a great lawyer and was studying to become a judge, like I said, a lot of things happened on my dark past. My hand was sweating cold when I entered through the ridiculously large entrance door, my chest burned for the air that I didn't realize I was holding, I let it go feeling my tense body relax a little as I walked towards the central elevator, while I walked, everyone was looking at me with surprised looks which made me even more nervous, damn it looks like they saw a ghost, I shook my head and entered the elevator along with other people that kept the same look, the employee that was in charge bringing the elevator to the floors people wanted to go, kept staring at me forgetting his duty which made me explode.
-GODDAMMIT! DID YOU LOSE SOMETHING ON ME? - in that same instant the boy widened his eyes even more and quickly nodded no.
-I'm... I'm sorry, M... Miss Jauregui. - the boy stuttered like an idiot making me want to laugh, but then the thought of having to see the man that according to the laws of nature was my father, brought me to my previous state, I just huffed as I watched the people around me staring while the elevator kept going up. On each floor that that damned elevator stopped, my heartbeat went faster, I was sweating and my stomach was turning, I was about to throw up right there in that elevator when its doors opened and the boy from before looked at me cowardly, I just fixed my jacket and walked past him nodding my head, demonstrating the education that I learned by myself.
As soon as I stepped out of the elevator the secretary stared at me through her glasses, it wasn't the old lady that I knew since I was a little girl, the secretary got up giving me a big smile, she was blonde and I have to admit, she was really hot.
-Good Afternoon, you must be Lauren Jauregui am I right? -she was wearing a grey suit so tight that made her boobs almost jump out, for a brief moment I just wanted to grab her and throw her on top of that small table and fuck her until she explodes with a mind-blowing orgasm, one that no man has ever given her. "Jesus, Lauren, what a pervert, control yourself" I thought to myself.
I only smiled as a confirmation.
-Well, your father is waiting for you in his office.
"Your father" in that same instant I replaced the pleasure that I wanted to give her with one of hate that made me want to grab the pencil she had in her hair to hold it together and stab her, see her in pain, my hands were closed in fists and it got tighter when the damn door opened revealing the most disgusting man that I ever meet, sitting in his chair feeling big and powerful, without me even realizing it my breathing got heavier, I was practically breathless looking like I had just ran a marathon.
-Taylor, you can leave now. - the secretary only nodded and left closing the door, closing my only way out of that nightmare. Michael stood up and walked towards me in slow steps - You have grown up so much daught...
-Don't you dare come any closer. - I interrupted him taking two steps back - Let alone call me that. - I spit the words in his face with a look of disgust, Michael let out a heavy breath as he shook his head with a vague stare.
-Lauren when will you forget the past? Taylor misses you. - my blood boiled instantly, how dare he use Taylor as blackmail and excuse to get closer to me?
-SHUT UP! - I exploded taking three steps forward in his direction - SHUT THE FUCK UP! - my chest rose and fell rapidly, my hands were shaking and the will to break the big glass window surrounding his office and throw him off of the 20th floor was big. "Calm down Lauren" I spoke to myself, trying to control myself following the steps my shrink taught me, I closed my eyes and took a deep and slow breath, little by little controlling my breathing, I felt my body gradually stop shaking and my breathing return to normal, I opened my eyes slowly and looked at Michael that had a worried look on his face, no, more than that, he was scared, bingo, I was in control.
-I just came here to sign the damn receipts. - Michael kept staring at me for a few more seconds before turning around and approaching his desk, he grabbed two papers from inside a briefcase with completely shaky hands.
-Here. - he handed them to me, I sat on the chair that was close to his desk and started reading what was written, my mother like the great lawyer she was, taught me since I was little girl to always read everything before signing... How do I remember? I don't know, I just know that I saved a lot of memories of my mother that any child would forget. Finishing reading them, I grabbed a pen that I carried in the pocket of my jacket and signed both papers, everything was in order as usual, I only extended the papers towards his desk, he grabbed and analyzed them.
-Okay, my job here is done. - I stood up from the chair, turned around and walked towards the door as quickly as I could and opened it, before exiting I looked behind, Michael was watching me with the same look as usual, fear and sadness - I don't know how you are still alive. - I grumbled - I just want to let you know that from now on I'll be picking up my sister on my free time to spend time with her and if you complain... I will go to justice and take her custody from you and you know damn well that I have that power! - I bluffed.
Michael swallowed dryly. I didn't wait to hear what he had to say, I turned around and closed his door harshly, I walked with firm steps towards the elevator without even giving time for the hot secretary to stand up and accompany me, I called the elevator that luckily was already on the 18th floor, I didn't have to wait for long. I entered the elevator ignoring the same boy from before and closed myself in my thoughts all the way from the firm until my apartment. Today is the night of my live show and I don't know why but something tells me that something good will happen, and so I hope.
POV Camila Cabello
If there's something that messes a lot with my mind are sexual abuse cases, I know I'm a delegate and I'm used to these type of cases that I have to face every day, but I'm also human, I see these 13 year old girls and I think about my younger sister Sofi, just thinking about it makes my heart hurt, the cases are all different, from age to even gender, a lot of boys are abused too, I let out a tired sigh resting my back on the chair as I stared at all the cases on my desk, I looked away briefly to look at the clock, it was 10:00PM, maybe it's better to just go home and rest, and reschedule with the girls. I was finishing fixing my things, filing the last documents, I was determined to go home.
-CAMILAAAAAAAA! - Vero's loud voice filled the room making me jump with fright - Let's go bitch, drink a little and dance, get together with some babes. - she finished with a wink making me roll my eyes.
My relationship with Vero and Dinah during work hours is strictly professional, but outside work I give them certain freedoms, Dinah is my best friend and Vero and I have been a little distant since I got engaged with Rob, because going out with Vero is not something really appropriate for an engaged girl like myself, but I love her company.
-Vero I'm dead tired and ...
-Don't even think about it, Chancho, we are going to have fun, you are always working and when you're not, you are with that dude. - Dinah made a weird face that made me laugh with her dislike of my relationship with Rob, I don't know why but she always tells me that her saint does not match his, so when we go out together she sees it as an opportunity and always tries to find me someone without even thinking twice. I let out a tired sigh, I guess I'll have to go now.
-Okay, we are going, but where's Allyson?
-I'm here. - Allyson was right behind Dinah, that's why I couldn't see her, Dinah is very tall and Allyson is really small, which makes it really funny to see them together.
I heard two knocks on the door, we all turned around to see who it was. Rob.
-Babe, let's go? - he smiled at me - Hello girls, everything okay?
-I would be if I didn't have to look at your face.
-DINAH! - I yelled, shocked with her answer.
-Mila, I'll wait for you in my place, stop by, I'll be with the girls. - she said turning around and leaving the room and with her, Allyson and Veronica.
-She doesn't like me, does she? - Rob approached me hugging my waist.
-You have to forgive her, today was a hard day. - I said giving him my best smile - Rob, I would like to go out with the girls today.
-Hmmm, can I know where you are going? - he asked.
-We are going to a club downtown. - at lunch I didn't tell him about almost getting hit by a car nor that the same person invited me to a club, he wouldn't like it.
-And why can't I go? - he asked seriously , which made me freeze, because I had no idea what to tell him.
-Ahh you can't be... because... - I stuttered.
-I get it, it's a girls night, right? - he assumed smiling and sealed our lips, my eyes widened in surprise.
-You know what, I'm too old for this, this is not like a pajama party. - I was angry with the way he spoke "girls night" - I just want to go out with my friends without you around, I want to be able to talk to Dinah without you two exchanging insults, I want a quiet night. - I blurted out and I don't know why I was telling him all that.
-Calm down, Camila. - he said letting go of me, he seemed upset - It's okay, I see you are really stressed, go have fun with your friends.
-I'm sorry, I'm really stressed out. - I told him as I put some things in my bag, I was on my way out, I didn't want to take too long in the club too.
-Can I take you home? - he asked with a pleading face.
-No, go to your house, go drink with your friends, we need this.
-You know I'm not going anywhere without you.
-You don't know what you are missing. - I spoke dryly, I looked at the door and Mark stood there waiting for a chance to speak - What can I do for you Mark? - I asked and Rob was looking at him with an annoyed face, they didn't like each other.
-I was wondering if you could give me a ride? - he asked awkwardly and I saw Rob huff, Mark always flirts with me, he's not one to throw away, on the contrary, he is blonde, tall and athletic, any women would go out with him, but I, as you all know, I'm engaged.
-Unfortunately I can't, Mark. - I told him and heard Rob chuckle, which angered me, why are men like this? Everything seems to be a competition, to see who wins the prize and Rob should not behave like this, since the prize is his and no one else's - But Rob can take you home. - I added smirking.
-What?! - Rob almost yelled, which left me embarrassed, I gave him a look that could burn him alive - I mean, sure, let's go?
-Sure, there are no other options. - Mark said turning around and going towards the exit which made me laugh.
-Are you seeing this? He provokes me.
-Honey, stop being a baby, I'll see you tomorrow. - I said passing him, sealing our lips in a quick kiss and going towards the parking lot.
-----
It was past midnight already and we were on the line to enter the club, on the line, I can't believe that I, after a long day of work, had the strength to get all dolled up and come to a club, and be stuck on the line, damn, just thinking about it makes me want to turn around and leave, but the girls look excited and they look really beautiful, I was particularly feeling stunning since I was wearing a white tight dress with a frontal zipper that cuts through it, Rob loves seeing me in it, I smiled at the inappropriate thoughts that I was having, when I was interrupted.
-Mila? - I looked behind and I could not believe.
-MANI?! OMG! - I screamed going towards her and hugged her, the girls were looking at me without understanding anything - How are you? You look breathtaking.
-Awww shush, I'm great, but you are the one making everyone on this line go heart eyes emoji. - she said and I blushed.
-Are you here to have some fun? - I asked excited for having seen an old friend.
-No, unfortunately "fun" to me is every day. - she said smiling and I made a face without understanding - I work here, Mila, I'm a bartender.
-Oh, that's nice, I'm excited to meet this place. - I was really excited now - Let me introduce you to the girls, they work with me. - they all greeted each other and I noticed Vero and Normani exchanging glances, I found it interesting.
-I'm not leaving you guys on this line. - she said pulling me by the arm and the girls followed - You are going with me.
-We passed by the security guards and they didn't even charged our entrance, I insisted so Normani would let me pay but she refused. We entered the first room on the club, the first of many by the way, I looked around the room in the hopes of finding those green eyes again.
-Looking for someone, Camila? - I heard Vero speak close to my ear because of the loud music, making the whole area of my neck shiver, I blushed when I noticed that she saw my state.
-Ahhh... I... I... - I stuttered - I'm just observing the place. - I said following Dinah to the bar, where Normani would work. The brunette said goodbye briefly and went through a door that led to the kitchen or something.
Allyson looked uncomfortable so I took the liberty of ordering drinks for us.
-I... I don't drink, ma'am. - she said choking on her words when I gave her a red drink, I had no idea what it was, but it was delicious.
-Please, outside work I'm just Camila and you are just Ally, okay? - I said turning to the bar and giving Allyson's drink to Veronica before she ordered something. Normani was already behind the huge bar serving some people, there wasn't too much movement at the bar since this was not the only one inside this luxurious place. I was trying the best I could to not ask about the brunette with green eyes.
-Mila, this place is amazing, look at all the hot guys in here. - Dinah said and I rolled my eyes, I already knew she was going to try and find me someone tonight, which would be in vain.
-Let's go find a table and sit down. - I said and they all nodded, when I was turning around I felt someone touch my arm, I looked behind and it was Normani.
-I advise you to go to the place of the live shows, a friend of mine is going to sing today. - Normani said and I shuddered, it has to be her, but why the hell was I so nervous?
-Ughhh no, I don't want to watch a live show. - Dinah said and I rolled my eyes.
-I don't want either, Camila. Let's dance! - Vero said excitedly turning to Dinah, clapping her hands, me and Ally rolled our eyes.
-Thank you for your advice, Normani. - I smiled at her and she nodded and went back to work - Allyson, do you want to go with me to see the live show?
-I would love to. - the shorter girl answered and I held her hand, I looked at Dinah and Vero that automatically understood that I and Allyson wouldn't be staying with them.
I went to the place that appeared to be the one of the live shows, finally cutting off the noisy electronic sound, I was receiving stares and being hit on, if these guys knew what I carry underneath my dress, they wouldn't look at me like this, I smiled with this thought and Ally looked really scared with everything, she clearly never been to a club before, but looks so beautiful, she is dressed appropriately to the occasion, with a black tight dress, revealing her beautiful curves and black high heels too, simply gorgeous.
We descended a staircase that led to another area bellow from where we were, there were some scattered tables, beanbags and couches, all very cozy, that was for sure the most luxurious place that I have ever seen, impeccable décor in black and red, it showed off lust, the stage was medium and had a big chandelier above.
-We can stay here. - I suggested to Allyson and she just nodded. We sat in a corner couch, there was a table in front of us, in which we placed our drinks, Ally had ordered a juice and I was still drinking the red drink, I couldn't wait for the show to start.
POV Lauren Jauregui
-Hi sexy! - I said hugging Normani from behind.
-Dammit Lauren, you kill me with that husky voice.
-Only if it's of pleasure. - I said winking at her and she hit me on the shoulder.
-I already told you that this body, you will never have.
-Enough flirting, give me the strongest drink you have please.
-Are you ready to party today, Jauregui?
-I'm always ready to party. - I smirked. I grabbed the glass of Whiskey that Normani handed me, I drank it all, which caused me to make a funny face and made Normani laugh. I stared at her intently and gave her my glass again for her to fill, I raised it as a thank you and then I went to the back, where I would enter the stage.
It wasn't my turn to perform, I was always the main attraction, so there were always little shows before mine, which gives me enough time to get drunk, therefore I slayed, almost every time. I entered my dressing room and I didn't do much, I only reinforced the eyeliner, I didn't need to do much to have the men and women of this place wanting me.
I was going to look around, to see if I could find Britt, I was feeling on fire, or maybe it was the effect of the strong Whiskey that Normani made me. I left my dressing room and passed through some people I knew, when out of the corner of my eyes, I recognized her, it was her, or maybe not, she had her back towards me, going in the direction of the bar, she had beautiful curves, her hair completely flow, falling like a waterfall on her right shoulder, I approached her, asking God to be the brunette that I almost ran over, I said she was coming, I said.
-A drink would be great for a scare like that. - I said whispering in her ear, her body shuddered in a way that even not touching her I could feel the energy that it transmitted - I'm sorry for the scare, Miss Cabello.
-When will you stop scaring me? - she asked smiling and I swear that I felt my chest burning.
-I'm sorry.
-Have you noticed how many times you've said you were sorry today? - I smiled shyly at her observation, I entered the bar and grabbed two drinks and offered her one, she accepted it immediately.
-I hope you are having fun, Miss Cabello.
-Please, just call me Camila. - I nodded and walked away from her, heading towards a chair that was there, when I felt the presence of someone behind me which made me turn around.
-It's not time for your show yet, right? - I only nodded confirming it - Would you like to join us then?
-Us? - I asked confused.
-I'm here with a friend. - she said pointing to the table where she was sitting and then I saw a young woman sitting cross-legged watching everything with attentive eyes.
POV Camila Cabello
We were talking for some time now and Lauren was adorable, she and Ally seemed to be getting along really well, until she invited the bass player of her band to sit with us, from that moment on Ally ignored us and was entertained in a talk with Troy. He seemed like a really nice guy, just by the care that he had with her.
-Hey, it's our turn. - Lauren said getting up - Shall we go, Troy?
-We shall. - he said as he kissed Ally on the cheek.
-----
Lauren has been on stage for a few minutes now and she is simply incredible, Vero and Dinah were already with us and they were mesmerized just like I was, she is elegant and looks at everyone with superiority, that excites me, I had already drunk more than I had ever drank in all my life, but I couldn't care less, I was having fun. Vero is by my side and she looks even more sexy than usual, God, what's happening to me?
-She's amazing. - Vero said.
-She is, her voice is incredible.
-Ahh, of course, she's amazing at singing too. - Vero said smirking.
-VERO! - I scolded her as I laughed.
-She seems happy to see you. - Vero whispered in my ear and I shuddered, I should stop drinking.
-What are you talking about? - I asked and Vero pointed to the stage, I looked at Lauren and she was totally sexy, she moved slowly and was staring at me intently while she sang, I couldn't stop looking at her, she didn't break our gaze, we stayed like this for a long time until the lights went on on stage and Lauren smirked at me - I'm going to the bathroom.
I got up and went with hurried steps towards the narrow metal door where was written "Women" in matte black , I opened it seeking air that I desperately needed , I was feeling too light, I went in the direction of the sink and wet my hands a little bit and ran them on my neck, feeling more refreshed but not enough, the alcohol was having an effect on me and I was already cursing for drinking too much, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, once, twice, three times and I felt a hand wrap around my waist pulling me backwards, I widened my eyes and looked in the mirror, it was Lauren.
-What are you doing? - I asked completely immobile, her hands on my tummy making me shudder, I felt weak.
-I wanted to ask for your forgiveness again tonight. - she said with a smirk on her lips.
-For what?
-For this. - it was the last thing she spoke before turning me around and crashing our lips together, her breath was heavy, a mixture of mint and alcohol, which was making me even more drunk, I still had my eyes open, she was pressing harder on my lips and slowly started to ask passage with her tongue and I involuntary gave in, it was as if by instinct, when her soft tongue touched mine, I felt my body relax, like in an anesthesia, I closed my eyes, I led one of my hands to her hair and pulled on it lightly, which made her grab both my thighs and lift me up into the sink, we kissed with fervor, her right hand went into my hair and pulled on it causing me a pleasurable pain, with her left hand, she positioned it between my legs and tried to move it up until she felt something.
-What is this? - she separated our lips but remained close to me, she looked in my eyes and her emerald orbs were in a green moss tone.
-It's my gun. - I said feeling her breathless breath hitting my face.
-Why the hell do you have a gun? - she asked against my neck as she mistreated the place with kisses and bites, I was on fire, I felt my intimacy throbbing, it throbbed so much that it was hurting, with every hickey and with every bite I seemed to be burning.
-I... I... - I breathed - I'm a cop, deputy to be more precise. - hearing the word "deputy" Lauren immediately backed away from me to my surprise, I was breathless and I wanted more, the blood seemed to have vanished from her face.
-Deputy?
