Fatal Attraction

Chapter 27

Once Camila left Normani and Dinah alone to have a moment to themselves, she entered her room and found Lauren waiting patiently to hop into the shower.

Lauren sighed. "Just wondering, is there ever a time that you're unattractive?"

Camila rolled her eyes. "Hush it, Jauregui. Maybe next time, you should look in the mirror.

"I'm being completely serious, though. I mean, you're drunk off your ass, still hot. You wake up late and throw on random clothing to go to class, still hot. And now you're fresh out of the shower.. Still hot. How did I get so lucky?"

Camila grabbed her and kissed her softly, giggling simultaneously. She found that her and Lauren always seem to be smiling while they kiss, and it's one of her favorite things in the world.

Once they pulled away, Camila pulled out her phone.

"Hey, do you like MoMA by any chance?"

Lauren nodded energetically. "Are you kidding me? That's by far my favorite museum. Too bad it's a lung and a half to actually get in. Why?"

Camila smiled. "Well, since it's Friday, it's free admission for all. Would you want to go tonight with the three of us?"

Lauren's jaw dropped. "Are you serious? Holy shit Camz, that's awesome! Besides, I actually have a paper due based on an experience at a museum, so that's perfect!"

Camila kissed her temple, ruffling her hair. "Perfect. Now go shower, babe. I'll tell them to start getting ready, as well."

Lauren kissed her back, nuzzling into her side. "See you in a bit."

After about forty five minutes (Dinah takes forever to get ready,) the girls started heading uptown to the museum. Since they don't usually go to these types of things, they were all a little bit overdressed, but they couldn't have cared less.

Once they received their tickets, they went up the stairs to the first contemporary exhibit. They split up into couples, of course, and went their separate ways.

Only to find that since the museum was free that day, it was exceptionally chaotic.

"You know," Dinah said, laughing, "in my management class last year, we talked about how nice it is that these museums have free nights.. But there was always this one pretentious asshole going on and on about how that was bad, and blah blah blah.. Now I want to shake his hand and thank him for giving me a heads up. I've never seen so many kids in my life!"

And she wasn't exaggerating. Not just kids, but families, too. All different sizes of families, tons of different languages spoken, and lots of different types of body odor. It was easy for someone to get overwhelmed.

Normani and Dinah, although used to spending time together one on one, both felt that tonight was a little.. Different.

"So.. You're pretty quiet tonight." Dinah asked the dark skinned girl, nudging into her gently.

Normani shrugged. "I'm always quiet, DJ."

Dinah rolled her eyes, then pulled her over to the side.. Which turned out to not be the best idea, considering a bunch of teenagers decided to post up against the wall in the hallway. She found the nearest staircase, and brought her there, assuming she was overwhelmed by the crowds that might.

"Really, now. What's up?"

Normani sighed. "Being with Lauren and Camila.. I don't know. I just feel like I should be more affectionate.. But I'm just not ready for that yet."
