Chapter 19

                                    

                                          
Lauren's pov.
                          
With Camila's hand still in mine we made it to the dance floor. It was packed tonight. All the sweaty bodies squeezed together moving to the music. We found a spot in the corner that wasn't too crowded, when Camila turned to me I instantly saw her moving her arms to wrap them around my neck. Mine immediately went to her petite waist and I pulled her in closer.
                          
With our foreheads almost touching, we started swinging our bodies to the music. "Close to me" by Ellie Goulding started playing and I couldn't help but smile to myself. I was still slightly taller then Camila even though she was wearing heels tonight, so I moved my head a little and rested my cheek against her head.
                          
"You know I can't dance Laur." Camila said close to my ear, sending shivers through my body. I pulled away slowly and smirked. 
                          
"Could've fooled me." I know she is a great dancer. I'm not gonna lie, I watched few videos on YouTube of her live performances, and let me tell you, innocent Camila is long time gone. She's so confident and sexy when she's on stage. That's why I can't believe that the girl in my arms is so shy all of a sudden. 
                          
In one swift move I grabbed her hand and turned her around so her back was pressed to my front now. I put my hands on her hips and started moving our bodies to the music, leading her. I could feel Camila's hands intertwining with mine and I gave her hips a small squezze. I let go of one of her hands and moved her hair to one side. I nuzzled my head against her neck and I could hear her taking a deep breath. I left a small kiss there and I saw her smiling from the corner of my eye. 
                          
After few more songs we went to get a drink at the bar and I couldn't help but feel that someone is staring at us. I looked around and saw a guy eyeing Camila up and down, his eyes stopped on her backside and he smirked taking a sip of his drink. He looked like he's in his late twenties with his dark hair covering his forehead. He was looking in our direction with smug grin on his face. I was ready for him to look up at me so I could send him a glare but I felt warm hand squeezing my forearm. 
                          
"Are you okay, Lo?" She said looking up to my eyes, her voice laced with worry. 
                          
"Yeah, everything is fine." I answered with small smile and put my arm around her shoulders, hoping that this guy behind us is still watching.
                          
After we ordered our drinks, we decided to go back to our table to sit down for a minute. When they noticed us, all of them grinned at us but kept the conversation going. I noticed that there's only one seat left at our table since I guess Vero brought some guy over. I sat down first and Camila looked around shyly. She probably didn't understand my intentions so I grabbed her waist and pulled her to sit on my lap. She sat down sideways and I immediately put my arm around her. 
                          
One drink later I wanted to go back on the dance floor but I had to use the bathroom before that. So I squeezed Camila's hips and I think she understood that I wanted to stand up. 
                          
"I have to use a bathroom, I'll be right back." I moved closer to her so she could hear me and kissed her forehead. She smiled softly and nodded her head. 
                          
After I came back I saw unfamiliar figure standing by our table. When I was close enough I noticed that it's the same guy from before. I could see that Camila is uncomfortable under his gaze and everyone at the table was quiet all of a sudden. 
                          
"Come on don't be like that, you won't regret it, baby girl." I heard him saying and I could feel my anger building up inside me. 
                          
I came over to him and tapped his shoulder. When he turned around I realized how drunk he is. Bearly standing on his legs he looked me up and down and smirked. 
                          
"Looking good babe, but I already have my eyes on someone." He said pointing at Camila and I tensed up. I was fuming by now but I didn't want to cause a scene in front of everyone. 
                          
"I don't think she's interested so I'm asking you nicely to leave." I said as calm as I could even though I was raging inside. 
                          
"And I think you should let her speak for herself." He slurred and moved closer to her, trying to touch her tight. Camila was squirming in her seat by now and I could tell that she's scared. That was enough for me. 
                          
"Don't fucking touch her!"
                          
I growled and grabbed his arm harshly. He stumbled back a bit and after few seconds got his balance back. He smirked and shoved my shoulder roughly. It wasn't enough to make me fall, after all the alcohol he consumed tonight, his moves were slower and less strong. Few seconds later I had him pinned against the wall with one of my hands on the collar of his shirt. I was ready to punch him in the face but I didn't want any problems, and more importantly I didn't want to scare Camila so I held him like that till the bouncers took him away. 
                          
I haven't gotten that angry in a while, just the thought of someone touching Camila without her permission makes my blood boil. With shaky hands I went over to her and saw her looking at me with wide and almost teary eyes. 
                          
"Are you okay?" I asked softly cupping her cheeks and instead of answering she hugged me so tight like her life depended on in. I was trying to calm her down whispering sweet nothings in her ear and after few minutes she calmed down and looked at me with trembling lips. 
                          
"Come on, let's go." I whispered kissing her cheek and she nodded. I quickly said goodbye to everyone and apologized for what just happened.
                          
That's definitely not how I planned the night to end.
