Chapter 32 - Talking commitments

Lauren walked through the door and immediately heard a happy squeal.

"Mommy!" Lori yelped, dropping the toy in her hand and running full speed into Lauren's waiting arms.

"Hello, beautiful," Lauren answered, as she stood and held Lori in a tight hug, "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too," Lori said, squeezing her neck.

Lauren pulled back and smiled widely at Lori, "Did you have a good time with everyone?"

"We had so much fun!" Lori said loudly, making everyone giggle.

"Do you need help getting anything from the car?" Ruby asked politely.

"Yeah, come on," Camila answered, giving her and Dinah a wave.

They walked outside and gathered Lauren's suitcase and shopping bags and brought them all inside to Lauren's bedroom.

Lauren, Normani and Lori were settled on the couch. Lori was snuggled happily into Lauren's lap.

"So how was it?" Normani asked.

"Incredible," Camila sighed out, "The resort was beautiful, you guys saw the pictures I sent with the view from our room."

"We were very jealous," Dinah said, grinning.

"We had a wonderful time," Lauren said, smiling widely.

"Can I come next time?" Lori asked, sounding a little sad.

"I don't know if that place would be very fun for you," Lauren said, "But I think we could plan a trip together."

Lori looked thoughtful for a moment then looked at her mom.

"With Camila too?" Lori asked, sounding unsure.

"If you want to go somewhere with just your mom that's okay," Camila answered quickly, looking at the small child softly, "But maybe one day we could all go together."

"I think you could come," Lori answered quietly then she looked around at the others getting more excited and louder, "And Aunt Mani and Ruby and Dinah too!"

"Oh, my goodness," Lauren answered, giggling, "We are going to need a very big place for that."

"I'm in," Ruby said, smiling.

They talked about the weekend a little bit more then Camila and Dinah stood to head home. They all exchanged goodbyes and Camila and Dinah made their way to Camila's car. They drove back to the apartment with the music on and the windows down, enjoying the short ride on a beautiful day. When they arrived, they ordered pizza then both flopped down on the couch.

"So...," Dinah said, questioningly, "How was it?"

"DJ, it was perfect," Camila sighed out, "I'm not kidding. It was absolutely perfect. Everything with Lauren– hanging out, talking, eating, and the sex...DJ, I can't even explain how good the sex is!"

Dinah chuckled and shook her head.

"Yeah, Lauren sent Normani a screen of fireworks," Dinah said, grinning, "So we figured that part was going well."

"Okay, so don't freak out," Camila said, shifting so she was facing Dinah entirely, "But I told her that I love her and I love Lori and that I'm ready to commit to them on whatever timetable Lauren thinks is best."

"Commit to them?" Dinah asked, sounding a little unsure, "What does that mean exactly, Mila?"

"It means exactly what it means, DJ," Camila said, "If Lauren said she'd go to the courthouse tomorrow, I'd marry her."
