Secrets (A Camren Fanfic)

Chapter 16 (Norminah)

Normani POV

Dinah and I have not said one word to each other since last night. Our concert is in two hours. This is supposed to be an incredible night for me but I won't be able to focus on Beyonce with Dinah right beside me.

"Mani?" I hear a small voice call out and I turn to see Mila.

"Hey Mila what's up?" I ask.

"Sorry to just pop by your house. Your mom let me in." she steps into my room.

"Don't worry we're friends. You're welcome to come here whenever you want to." I smile and go to give the younger girl a hug.

She hugs back and then sits on the bed.

"I just wanted to let you know Dinah feels really terrible about last night. She really does care about you Mani." Mila looks at me with a sad smile.

"I care about her too. She's an amazing girl and I'm glad she didn't kiss me. I think that would've made our friendship really awkward." I lie.

"Then why did you get upset yesterday?" she asks.

"My ego was a bit bruised that's all." I look down.

"Normani are we friends?" Camila asks.

"Of course we are Camila! There's no question about it." I sit next to the girl who turns to face me.

"Then why won't you be honest with me?" she looks at me and I sigh.

"I'm sorry. I just don't want Dinah knowing okay? She's the best thing to happen to me besides you and Lauren. I don't want to lose that." the thought of losing Dinah hurts a lot more than the idea or never being with her.

"You'd never lose her but I swear I won't tell her. I have to go meet Lauren but I hope you and Dinah have a good concert. I'm honestly here if you ever need to talk." Camila stands up and I follow her.

"Thanks Mila. Honestly it means the world to me. I love you." I say and she stops and looks at me.

"Mila are you okay?" I ask and I see a tear fall down her face.

"What's wrong? Did I say the wrong thing?" I ask and hug the girl who just limply leans into me.

"That's the first time anyone has told me that they love me besides Dinah in over five years.." she whispers and my heart breaks.

I keep forgetting how hard of a life she lives and I hug her even tighter.

It amazes me how the small things we take for granted like hearing an I love you can mean so much to someone else.

"I hope you know it's true Mila. I do love you and so many people love you. You're amazing." I say and Camila smiles and wipes her eyes.

"I love you too Mani. Thank you for saying that. I'm really glad you came into my life." she hugs me once more before walking out.

After speaking to Mila I finished getting ready for the concert. I threw on some Beyonce merch and got into my car to pick up Dinah.

The whole ride I prayed that this would not be awkward at all. So what we had an awkward moment last night but we can still be friends right?

I pull up to the house and beep my horn. I look at my phone and sent Dinah a quick text.

Me- Hey I'm outside.

I look up from my phone and Dinah is coming out the door. My mouth drops open when I see her. She is wearing tight pants and a crop top. The outfit perfectly shows off her toned muscles and her ass.
