Did Arin get you something nice?” Lauren asked, remembering the heartfelt gifts Camila had given her and smiling.“Honestly,” Normani replied pushing herself onto the counter and sitting down, her legs dangling in the air gently. “He gave me a voucher.”“A voucher?” Lauren asked raising an eyebrow.“Yeah,” Normani confirmed. “Not even for a specific store, just like, a generic high street voucher.”“Wow,” Lauren said surprised.“Exactly,” Normani commented.“Is everything alright between the two of you?” Lauren asked concerned. “I mean, you’re alright aren’t you?”“We’ve been better,” Normani shared with her sadly. “For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t be too concerned with the fact that Camila is finding it difficult to keep her hands off you. It’s when the attention stops that you need to worry Lo.”Normani paused for a moment before continuing.“I mean, Camila and you don’t talk like you did before because she physically can’t at the moment, but, you’re still together, she’s still trying to show you how much you mean to her, to make you feel appreciated and wanted,” Normani said informatively. “Arin and I have barely spoken over the holidays and there is nothing wrong with either of us. He hasn’t even text me since I got back and I haven’t text him.” She finished.“Are you still together?” Lauren asked surprised by Normani’s confession.“For now,” Normani replied seriously. “To be honest Lo, I didn’t miss not talking to him. Not like you obviously miss talking to Camila. I don’t know, I think perhaps we might break up soon.”“I’m sorry Normani,” Lauren said sincerely, hopping off the kitchen counter and walking over to hug her friend compassionately.“It’s ok,” Normani told her honestly, hugging Lauren back.“Is there anything I can do?” Lauren asked genuinely.“Yeah,” Normani said, a smile creeping on to her lips. “You can make out with you damn girlfriend if that’s what she wants,” she told her jokingly, making Lauren laugh loudly in response.“Consider it done,” Lauren agreed. “Anything else? I could set you up with a really hot, amazing guy?” she offered.“You wouldn’t be able to spot one if your life depended on it Lo,” Normani laughed and Lauren smiled as she watched the amusement on her friends face. “You’re such a lesbian.”“I’m not that much of a lesbian,” Lauren complained hitting Normani playfully on the arm. “Remember that time I thought I was straight?” she asked. “I even dated a couple of guys…”“You may have been in denial for a little bit Lo, but, you’ve always been gay.” Normani laughed. “The never ending crushes you had on ever female Disney channel star whilst we were growing up was more than enough confirmation for me and Ally.”“I didn’t fancy all of them,” Lauren protested.“Lauren you even had a thing for Kim Possible and she was a cartoon character,” Normani chuckled.“She was a high school student and a crime fighter,” Lauren explained. “Plus she looked good in cargo pants and a mid-riff baring turtleneck. Who didn’t have a thing for her?”“Me.” Normani laughed but she smiled at her friend’s admission. “You know, I’ve missed this,” Normani commented seriously. “The two of us hanging out together, I mean.” She paused for an instant before continuing. “Sometimes I feel like a bit of an outsider because I don’t share home room with you guys. I feel like I miss out on things.”“I miss us hanging out as much too,” Lauren agreed. “I’m sorry if you feel like we exclude you.”“I don’t,” Normani reassured her. “I mean, I know you don’t do it on purpose. It’s not your fault,” Normani said. “It’s just difficult because you all have extra time together to hang out and you have conversations that I don’t get to be a part of.”“Do you think I’m one of those people who completely forget about their friends when I’m in a relationship?” Lauren asked her seriously.“No,” Normani told her truthfully. “You actually balance the two really well. I think it helps that Camila is our friend though. To be honest, I wouldn’t blame you for getting completely lost in your relationship with Camila, there’s so much going on that you both have to deal with.”Normani paused for a moment, a sudden realisation coming to her.“Speak of things you have to deal with,” Normani started just remembering something. “How did Camila’s deposition go yesterday?”“They had to postpone it,” Lauren informed her before taking another swig of her drink. “She can’t exactly answer questions or give evidence when she can’t speak so they’ve had to set another date for it in a couple of weeks’ time.” Lauren continued. “I mean, I guess it sucks for the driver because he’ll have to wait longer now for the trial but, it’s his fault that Camila is like this so I have a hard time feeling sorry for him.” She admitted.“Me too,” Normani agreed as the doorbell rang.Lauren and Normani shared a look before the latter hopped off the kitchen counter and followed the brunette to answer the door.
