More Than Your Manager (Fifth Harmony)

Chapter 11

My eye's blink open slowly. Looking around I could see four sleeping bodies wrapped in a cacoon of various blankets and pillows. Dinah had somehow made her way into Normani's bed, snuggling into the girl's side and snoring softly. Ally was curled up into a tiny ball. She was almost invisible given her small size. Camila however was layed starfish; taking up the whole bed. Shaking my head I noticed Lauren was nowhere to be seen. She wasn't a morning person and was usually one of the hardest to get up out of the five girls. I grabbed my phone and checked the time. It read 6.30 am. I quickly checked Instagram and was blown away by how many notifications I had. I soon saw why as Normani had posted a photo of our slumber party and tagged me in it.

"Slumber party with my mains" it read. The photo itself was definitely a keeper with Normani holding the phone and the rest of us posing. Ally had poked her tongue out, Camila was kissing Dinah's cheek while she blew a kiss to the screen, I was smiling with my arms cuddled around Dinah's side and Lauren was smiling wildly whilst looking at me. Many comments were regarding to the way the green-eyed member was looking at me or wondering who I was. I hadn't really thought about what the fans would think about me up until now.

I decided to ease their worries that I was some kind of intruder by posting a picture of my own. I chose a picture the group and I had taken the night before we came to Australia at a meeting with a piece of pizza each in our hands.

I put a filter on it and captioned it "so proud to be the manager of these beautiful girls." As soon as I posted comment after comment popped up. I guess I'll have to get used to this I thought.

Just as I put my phone down I heard the door open quietly. Lauren appeared holding six cups of coffee and a paper bag. "Morning Bela," She smiled briefly putting down the cups on the small hotel room table before taking out a muffin from the paper bag. "I remembered there was a 24 hour cafe down the road. Thought we might need a caffeine fix," grabbing a hot steamy cup and passing it to me she added "I remembered you like hot tea with no milk so I hope you don't mind I got you that. And a blueberry muffin."

I nodded. "You remembered correctly. That's very thoughtful of you Lauren. Thank you."

Lauren brushed it off with a shrug. "Wanna go sit on the balcony? The view is breathtaking."

"Sure. I'll just wake up these four and tell them you bought breakfast." I stand up and stretch my stiff limbs.

After waking up Camila, Ally, Normani and Dinah, I joined Lauren outside on the small balcony. She was right; it was extremely beautiful and I couldn't help but feel grateful to be seeing the view for myself.

"So how come you woke up so early?" I ask Lauren.

"I couldn't sleep. I came out here and watched the traffic until the sun came up. I may not be a morning person but I definitely recommend it." I nod, deciding to follow her advice and made a decision to wake up early enough to see the sunset tommorow.

"Tell me more about yourself." Lauren suddenly looked at me with curious eye's.

"There's nothing to tell." I shrugged. I always get so emotional and insecure telling people about my life.

"I don't want you to tell me anything too personal Bela," Lauren laughs; trying to ease the tension. "We'll start off easy. What's your favourote colour?"

"Teal or indigo." I answer quickly.

"Celebrity crush?"

"I have so many. But I really love Ruby Rose."

"Ruby is really down to earth. Easy to love. And she gets my jokes too." She agrees.

"Wait. You've met her?" I stare intently at Lauren as she takes a sip from her cup; trying to delay her answer.
