Fifth Harmony vs The Holy Trinity (DC3)

Chapter 11

Dinah was in Normani and Lauren's hotel room looking at gossip websites with Normani. Lauren had her headphones on listening to music. Dinah picked up a pillow and threw it at Lauren making her take her headphones off to hear what was going on. "Look Lolo. TMZ says that the fallout between Camila and Taylor Swift is really because they were romantically involved."

"I can believe it," responded Lauren. She put her headphones back on and proceeded to listen to her music.

Normani and Dinah moved on to MediaTakeOut.com and were laughing at all of the ridiculous stories that were posted until they came to one titled "INSTAGRAM MODEL POSTS PICS OF LDN MEMBER'S BOYFRIEND SLEEPING IN HIS BOXERS AFTER A FREAK SESSION!!!. Normani quickly clicked on the link to reveal a picture of Masi sleeping in his boxers in his bed.

Dinah looked at Normani trying to come up with something to say. "Maybe it's a misunderstanding."

Normani raised her voice, "Why would this hoe have a picture of Masi in his boxers in his bedroom? That is his bedroom!"

Lauren took off her headphones, "What's going on?"

Normani was crying at this point and just pointed her laptop screen.

"Is that Masi?" Lauren asked shocked.

Dinah answered, "Yes, but we don't know what was going on."

"It looks pretty obvious to me," confessed Lauren.

"Lo, you're not helping," retorted Dinah.

Normani spoke up, "I'm calling Masi." She dialed Masi's number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hey, babe"

"Don't 'hey babe' me. Why does MTO have a picture of you in your underwear that was taken by a woman who is not me?" shouted Normani.

"Oh," said Masi.

"Yeah, oh. How do you explain this?"

"Uh," Masi hesitated.

"I'm waiting."

"Uh...yeah...uh. I messed up," Masi admitted.

Normani interrogated, "You messed up? That's all you have to say?

"I'm sorry, baby. I'll make it up to you."

"Don't worry about it. It's over."

Masi begged, "Please, just give me another chance." Normani ended the call without responding to him.

"What happened?" Dinah questioned.

"He admitted to cheating on meeeee." Normani broke down and started crying hard. Dinah and Lauren both wrapped their arms around her and held her for several minutes until she calmed down. Afterward, they all sat and watched television for a few hours not uttering a word until Dinah left to go to bed and told Lauren and Normani goodnight.

After Dinah closed their door, Lauren opened up her arms beckoning Normani to come to her. The slightly older woman put her head on the younger woman's chest and wrapped her arms around her waist. Lauren wrapped her arms around Normani's shoulders and leaned back so that both of them were lying on the bed.

"You'll find someone a lot better," Lauren assured and kissed Normani on the forehead.

Normani sniffled, "He's the second guy in a row to cheat on me. There must be something wrong with me."

"There is nothing wrong with you," said Lauren. "You're perfect. You're beautiful, multitalented, caring, and funny. Any real man would do anything to keep you."

"I hope so."

"You just need to make better choices in men. We both could learn how to make better choices," chuckled Lauren.

Normani lifted her head up and looked at Lauren with a faint smile on her face. "Yeah, you have dated some jerks."

Lauren smiled back. "We both have. Keaton was just a mini version of his arrogant brother, I believe Luis only asked me out because Fifth Harmony was becoming famous, and Brad was just a man-child. He didn't even stand up for me when his bandmates slut-shamed me. Arin was conceited and self-centered. Masi made those disgusting, racist tweets before you two started dating. We missed all of the warning signs."

"No lies there," whispered Normani.

"I have a question though," said Lauren. "You said you wanted a boyfriend who could teach you things, but what could Masi teach you? He's dumb as hell."

Normani laughed, "He wasn't book smart, but he knew some things."

"Like what?" Lauren inquired.

"I'm going to have to get back to you on that." Normani closed her eyes and fell asleep in Lauren's arms.
