Lauren's pov

I woke up with Camila cuddling me. Glancing at the clock, it was 8:00 AM. I almost shook her awake, but reconsidered, captivated by her sleeping face. I softly shifted her closer, then slipped out of bed. The bathroom was quick – shower, then jeans and a t-shirt with Vans. I brushed my hair, leaving it down, decided against makeup. Natural today.

"Lo…" Camila murmured, her voice still thick with sleep. I turned and smiled.

"Hey baby," I said. She wriggled closer, cuddling me tighter.

"Why are you up so early?" she asked, yawning. I kissed her softly on the temple.

"Meeting today," I said. She frowned, burrowing into my neck.

"What meeting?" she asked, her voice muffled. I brushed a strand of hair from her face.

"Band meeting," I said. She nodded, then snuggled back into my shoulder.

"When?" she asked, her voice still sleepy. I checked the time on my phone.

"Two hours," I said. She nodded, burying her head on my shoulder.

"Could you go get ready please?" I asked, hoping she wouldn’t drag it out. She looked at me with those big eyes.

"Food first?" she asked, a small smile playing on her lips. I chuckled and nodded.

"Come on," I said, heading downstairs. My mom was already up, and looked at us with a smile.

"My pop stars! Good morning! Are you hungry?" Mom asked, her eyes twinkling. I giggled, nodding.

"Yes," I said. She smiled.

"Okay! Let me make you both some pancakes," she said. Camila's face lit up.

"With bananas?" Camila asked. Mom laughed softly.

"Yes Camila, with bananas." Mom said, her smile warm. I sat down at the table as Mom started cooking.

"Anything planned for today you two?" She asked, glancing over her shoulder. Camila was already playing with my hands, her head resting on my shoulder.

"Yeah, we have a meeting in two hours," I said. Mom nodded, humming along.

"About what?" She glanced over her shoulder at us. Camila was playing with my hands.

"I'm guessing just going over the things of us becoming a band" I say, mom nods.

"You okay?" I whisper to camila, she nods looking at me.

"You big or little?" I ask quietly "Big" she whispered, I nod "Just clingy and needy?" I ask, she blushed "I'm sorry" she whispered, I wrap my arm around her pulling her closer, letting her carry on playing with my other hand. "I'm playing, you know I love it" I mumble kissing her head.

After a while of talking and cuddling with camila, mom sets down two plates of pancakes.

"Thank you" Camila and I thank my mom, she smiles nodding and goes into the room with the others.

Camila and I talked while eating, she was saying everything she wanted to do now that we were in a band. I love how excited and happy she is about this, I’m a little more nervous than anything, I’ve never seen myself being in a band or even being famous before, sure I’ve thought about it but I never thought it would happen and it wasn’t really a plan I had in mind.

When we were finished with our breakfast I clean the plates as camila Carried on talking, I was listening and joining in on the conversation but we were running a little low on time before we had to leave.

"Baby, can you go get ready please? We can carry on with this conversation later, I promise," I say. She frowned.

"But I want to tell you everything I want to do," she said. I shook my head, drying my hands.

"And I would love to hear them, but we need to leave soon babe," I say. She nodded softly.

"Fine," she mumbled and made her way upstairs. I do want to hear everything she wants to do, but it’s a lot and she really needs to get ready before we are late.

I made my way upstairs as well and hear the shower, I get everything I need and laid out an outfit for Camila. A skirt, a long sleeve t-shirt and some shoes. I also put everything she will need on the bed, I double check and nod grabbing my phone.

"Babe! You almost done?" I call.

"Yeh," she said. The shower turned off a few moments later. She came out in a towel, dried off, then dressed, did her hair and a little bit of make up. She grabbed a bag and placed the things I put on the bed into that bag, she grabs my hand and we make our way downstairs.

We said goodbye to everyone, the Uber I had ordered while camila was in the shower arrived moments later. As we were on our journey to the place the meeting is being held we talked, camila Carried on about the things she would like to do, I also said a few things I would like to do, just to pass the time as we were waiting to arrive.

When we arrived I took camilas hand into my own, we walked into the big office building and to a receptionist.

"Hello, how may I help you?" She asked with a kind smile.

"Uh hi…we are here to see Simon Cowell," I say. She nodded.

"Names?" She asked.

"Lauren Jauregui and Camila Cabello," I say. She nodded, typing it in on the computer on her desk. She did ask for spellings which made camila chuckle lighting into my shoulder.

"Okay, on the 5th floor and it’s the door has S.Cowell on it" she said. I smiled thanking her and went to an elevator.

We found his room and I knocked, waited for a 'come in' and then opened the door, holding it open for Camila to go in first and following behind her closing it again. The others were already here, camila ran over to them hugging them and I sat down, she went to sit on my lap but I shook my head, she pouted and sat on the chair next to me.

The meeting went on for an hour, just talking about the things that would happen, some rules and how things will work. We all said some ideas that Simon wrote down, he said there will be hired people for us like bodyguards, hairstylists, make up stylists, outfit stylists, all people like that.

When the meeting was done all 5 of us walked out and talked about how fun this could be, camila went on about everything she wanted to do as did the others.

We all agreed on going shopping. Dinah and Normani said they needed a whole wardrobe change, I just didn’t see how that was necessary.

We went shopping. I got a few things as did Camila and ally, Dinah and Normani really did do a whole wardrobe change.

We were now sat in a restaurant eating and talking, camila was cuddled into me as I had my arm around her.

"Oh my god! Lolo! Could we go to cuba?" Camila asked, her excitement bubbling over. I smiled.

"Sure," I said. She grinned.

"We could take a vacation there in a few years," I said. This made her frown.

"Maybe when we are like…20 or 30," I said, she just shrugged and ate getting out of the hold I had on her, I sighed and ate as well.

"I mean it sounds reasonable going around that age" ally said, the other agree trying to cheer Camila up.

"Yeh" is all that came out of her for the next few minutes. She soon cheered up clinging back onto me, laughing at dinahs dumb but funny jokes.

After a while we called a cab, stuffing out bags in the trunk and went home, dropping Dinah and Normani off first, then ally and then Camila and I.

We talked to my family about how the meeting went and a few other things, after around an hour of talking Camz and I made our way up to our room.

I put away our new clothes and shoes as she got ready for bed, whipping off her make up, washing her face, brushing her teeth and putting on joggers and a baggy t-shirt.

I then did the same putting on shorts and a vest, I then climbed into bed next to her kissing her cheek and wrapping my arms around her.

"I'm really excited for this whole band thing," she said. I smiled putting my head on her chest nodding.

"I know baby, me too," I said. She smiled and looked at my eyes.

"You have amazing eyes," she said. I giggled with a small blush.

"You tell me all the time," I said. She smiled nodding.

"I love your eyes," I say and lean up kissing her eye lids as she closed her eyes.

"I know, you tell me all the time," she whispered with a chuckle. I kissed her and she kissed me back.

"I love you," I whisper as we pulled back a little.

"I love you too," she said. I place my head back on her chest and she plays with my hair.

We talked for a while longer before falling asleep cuddled up.
