Chapter 2: It Started With Friendship

It's been two days since they went to Harry's welcome party. Niall called them up asking them if they would like to tag along for a friendly game of golf later that afternoon. Now, Lauren was jogging down the stairs and into the living room where she saw a smiling Dinah. She plopped down the couch but the girl didn't tear her eyes off her phone. Lauren cleared her throat loudly, hoping it would catch her attention. But nothing. She raised her brows and cleared her throat one last time, still nothing. Dinah's smile widened and she cover her mouth with her free hand. Now Lauren was really curious. She smirked as an idea popped into her head. She snatched the phone free from Dinah's hands, making the girl freeze and then look over to Lauren who was spinning the phone around her hand.

"Hmm what could be in this phone that made a certain someone so smiley all of a sudden..?" Lauren indirectly teased Dinah who's eyes widened in realization. She pounced on Lauren and attempted to get her phone back but the green eyed girl extended it out of the girl's reach. Dinah didn't give up and kept on reaching for her phone held up in the air. She grew frustrated and flustered.

"Lauren, give it the fuck back!" she hissed. Lauren kinked her brows at the girl who's cheeks were growing red. Dinah met Lauren's questioning stare and the girl just grew more flustered. Dinah struggled more to reach her phone. She groaned, "Lauren, just give me it!"

Dinah stood up and she almost reached it but Lauren was quick to dash off upstairs. She turned to the master's bedroom where she found Camila pulling up her jeans. The smaller girl tilted her head towards the door when she heard it slam shut. She found a terrified Lauren grasping for air. "Uhh Lo, what are you-"

"Babe, find me a place to hide!" she huffed. "Now!" Lauren said with urgency which just made Camila laugh because she was red as a tomato. "Okay calm down, Lo."

"Calm down?! How am I gonna calm down if there's a beast on the lose?!" Lauren said exaggeratedly. Camila tilted her head to the side in confusion but soon realized what was happening. "Lo, what'd you do?" she asked her girlfriend, who was now holding her at arms length. "I'll tell you everything later. I need to hide."

Camila giggled. "Okay okay." she looked around their room and her eyes landed on the walk-in closet. She pointed towards it, Lauren followed her finger and smiled gratefully when the spot was passable. She looked at her girlfriend and pecked her lips. "Thanks babe." Lauren hastily made her way into the closet, closing it shut just in time as Dinah bursted through the door which made her jump and clutch her chest. Dinah covered her eyes with her hand. "Eww Walz. You know jeans have zippers right and you need to zip them up?" She asked as if Camila didn't know. "I cannot just unsee that.." The smaller girl zipped up her pants and then crossed her arms on her chest and huffed. "It's not my fault you barged in here in the middle of me getting dressed." she rebutted. Dinah lowered her hand from her face and crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, it isn't my fault your girlfriend stole my freaking phone!" Camila tilted her head to the side in confusion. "Where is she!" Dinah asked more to herself because judging from Camila's expression, she seems clueless. After looking around the room, she frustratingly hung her hands on both sides. "Have you seen her?" she asked the smaller girl who was now on the bed burrying her nose in a book. She looked up and shook her head. Dinah trudged out of the room.

Seconds later, Lauren peeked out of the closet door to make sure Dinah was already out. She fully stepped out and locked the door. She joined her girlfriend on the bed who was giving her a questioning stare. "Camz," she asked with urgency. Camila didn't look up from her book but replied. "Yes?"

"Have you noticed that Dinah has been acting pretty weird lately." Lauren voiced her observation for the past two days. Camila looked at her. "Lo, she's always been weird." Lauren shook her head. "No like a different weird. Like..happy weird." she pointed out. This caught Camila's attention and nodded. "Yeah. Since the party." Lauren nodded and smiled. "Exactly." She held up Dinah's phone in front of them.

"She was smiling so much when she was on the phone a few minutes ago. I think she was texting someone." Lauren swiped the phone and was met by a numpad. "Of course it's password protected." Lauren groaned. Camila took the phone from her grip and entered a series of numbers at the speed of light. Camila handed her the phone back in record time, her own eyes wide open. "How?" Camila smiled and went back to her book. "I have my ways."

Lauren saw a text notification pop up from the phone.

[Harry - 9:12am] : You still there?

She clicked on it and it opened up iMessage. She looked over the messages carefully. Her eyes widened and she tries to catch Camila's attention. "What?"

"Look." Lauren situated the phone between them so both of them could see the screen. They gasped every now and then, not wanting to somehow attract Dinah. Soon after, she closes the app and locks the phone.

"Oh my god.." Camila said. Lauren was about to say something but she was interrupted when they heard a loud knock on the door.

"Mila open up!" Dinah's voice echoed from behind the wall. Both girls looked at each other with wide eyes and began to panic. Their attention was drawn back to the door.

"Mila!" another round of booming voices. The terrified girls hurried over their hiding options and stopped when they noticed the other side of the door grow quiet. They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. But it was cut short when they heard the lock click and the knob turn. It happened so fast that both of them just stood there with wide eyes.

"Lauren.." Dinah growled.

"Uhh.."

"Like this?"

The girls and guys were on a golf field. They were supposed to have a friendly game of golf but none of the girls and most of the guys don't know how to play. Louis was helping Harry with his stance. Dinah was with them, watching Harry most of the time. The Polynesian girl tried her best to engage him in a conversation but he was too focused on the task at hand. The rest of the group were a few meters away from them, up on a hill, engaged in a smooth conversation. Camila was in between Lauren's legs, her torso leaning back to the older girl's. Normani was distracting herself with three golf balls, juggling them effortlessly. Ally and Zayn were beside the couple. Ally looked over to the trios direction at the distance and turned back to Zayn to ask a question.

"Have Louis and Harry always been that close?" Zayn looked at her, and shifted his attention to the people in question. He studied them for a second and nodded. "Yeah. They've always been so close. Some even mistake them for a couple.." he deadpanned. Ally laughed and looked at Harry who did a perfect swing and hit the small ball, sending it flying to the air at a great distance. Harry lets out a victory shout and jumped around like a little kid who got his first present. Harry's voice was so loud that it could be heard all the way from where the rest of the group sat.

"Did you see that?!" He exclaimed and turned to Louis who was clapping his hands. "Amazing." The other guy commented. Harry leaped up to him and hung on, much like a koala hug. Harry kept screaming 'I fucking did it'.

Ally was laughing at the guys' goofiness, Zayn tagging along too. His expression turned from playful to serious. He turned to look at Ally.

"What if they have something between them?" he asked out of nowhere. It didn't shock Ally though.

"They could. I mean look at them," Ally pointed to Lauren and Camila who were lying on the grass, Lauren slumped over a tree, Camila resting her upper body on Lauren's. Their hands were intertwined. "It all started from being friends, and then it went on from there."

"They're cute." Zayn commented, a soft smile on his lips. Ally agreed. "But it wasn't always easy, you know? There were battles they didn't conquer. There were wars they didn't win. But you know what made them return to each other in the end?"

"What?"

"Trust and true love."

Zayn looked over at his buddies who are now teaching Dinah the proper stance. His expression turned soft. He looked over at the couple beside him and noticed how Camila shifted her body and positioned herself to nuzzle her face on Lauren's neck.

"They sure are strong if they've pulled through a lot of stuff." Zayn said, locking his fingers together above his lap. 

"They always kind of remind me of magnets. They always somewhat find themselves back together. It's like they're the magnets, fate is the science behind it. I hope I could explain more to you but I've only seen so much.."

Zayn looked over at Ally with a soft smile. "No worries. I get what you're trying to say."

Ally returned the smile. "Good. You'll see it for yourself."
