Lauren's P.O.V.

"A little more to the left." I tell her and I hear her groan. Since Mani fell asleep on me yesterday, we bargained a back rub for my trouble. Normally I'd just leave it alone but...I did bully a kid for her food.

"Don't push your luck." She says and I chuckle.

"Just saying. I could use a little more pressure. Put your back into it." I say and she puts more pressure.

"That's it." I say and even though I can't see her, I know she's rolling her eyes.

"You should be rubbing my damn back." She complains.

"Maybe next time don't go back on your word." Mani flicks my ear and I laugh.

"Okay fine. We can end it here." I say as I sit up. I turn towards her and pull my shirt down. "Thank you babe." I peck her lips and she rolls her eyes but returns it.

"Are you ready to go?" I ask her as I sit up from the bed. Mani stands up and walks towards the dresser.

"Yeah. When does the movie start again?" She asks.

Dinah came by to get the kids about 30 minutes ago. Mani decided she wanted to go to the movies and then bowling later if she's feeling up to it. Today Mani has been feeling a little sluggish so we'll see how the night goes.

"9. so we have a little time." I tell her.

"Let's go now. I'm in the mood to kick your ass in basketball." Mani says as she puts her lipstick on in the mirror.

"You? Beat me? You have to get these delusions under control baby." Mani puckers her lips then looks over to me.

"Do you like this color? It's new." The color is somewhere between peach and pink.

"It's nice. How do you think it would look on me?" I ask as I step towards her.

"Not sure. Why don't we find out?" Normani smirks and pulls me into a kiss. It starts off very gentle and soft...almost like she loves me or something. I wrap my hands around her waist and pull her against me. Mani's arms wrap around my shoulders and she nibbles at my bottom lip. My lips part and her tongue finds mine. I almost moan at the contact then explore her mouth in return. I feel Mani start to pull away and I reluctantly do the same. I look into those beautiful brown eyes and feel my knees turn to jelly...I really love this woman. Mani offers me a soft smile then pecks my lips again.

"I don't think it's the color for you but I love how you applied it." She smirks and I roll my eyes with a small smile pulling at my lips.

"You are such a tease."

"It's all about the teasing Lo." She says teasingly as she touches my forearm and walks past me.

"Let's go. Maybe if your good, we'll get to the pleasing later." Normani winks at me then leaves the room.

I drive to the theater and I let Normani win the few rounds of basketball we played before going to the concession stand to get her some popcorn. We go to our seats and Mani lays her head on my shoulder as the movie starts. After the movie, Normani still feeling pretty well so we go to the bowling alley. After we get our lane, and shoes we play pool and then go back to bowling. Before I know it, we've played two games, tied of course, and Mani is ready to go home.
