A/N This is going to be a long chapter, because when I split them, it doesn't sync. Comment if I should make more like this.

Lauren is trying to wake up Vanessa.

"Baby. Wake up." Lauren says, shaking her slightly. "C'mon kid. Wake up."

"Laurennn." She groans.

"I know, I know. I don't want to be up now either. But please, get up." Lauren sighs.

"Fine." Vanessa says, getting up to take a shower after she fully wakes up. There's a knock on the bathroom door a while later. "Yes.?"

"Can I come in.? It's Dinah."

"Yeah, but one question." Vanessa asks.

"What.?" Dinah asks, standing in front of the curtain after getting what she came in there for.

"Why in the hell is everything in my bathroom." Vanessa says.

"I didn't see your name on that lease though, babe." Dinah says.

"Yeah, but I live here." Vanessa says, playing along with the joke.

"Oh, you live here.?" Dinah chuckles. "Since when, exactly.?" Vanessa turns off the water, and tries to get the towel off the shower railing, but Dinah takes it.

"Dinah, give me the towel." Vanessa chuckles.

"Tell me when you started living here, Vanessa." Dinah smirks.

"Dinah."

"Vanessa."

"Dinah."

"Vanessa."

"Dinah."

"Babe."

"Dinahhh."

"Babeee."

"Dinah.!" Vanessa pokes her in the upper chest, on the left.

"Hoi.! Take it.!" Dinah chuckles, backing up and leaving. Vanessa gets out of the shower, finally, and decides to tweet.
@VanessaNicolexx: It's 7:15 am, and you starting already.

There's a knock on her bedroom door.

"It's Mani. Can I come in?" Normani asks.

"Yeah, hold on." Vanessa says. Apparently, Normani didn't hear the part of "hold on," because she opens the door, making Vanessa run around the corner.

"You aren't dressed?"

"No dipshit!"

"Sorry!" Normani giggles, closing the door.

Vanessa finds a sports bra and briefs that totally cover her. "Okay, you can come in."

"You sure? If you aren't, you know what could happen." Normani smirks.

"Whatever, come in." Vanessa chuckles

"Hey princess." Normani laughs, after coming in.

"Hey Mani." Vanessa says hugging her briefly.

"What's that.?" Normani asks.

"What's what.?" Vanessa asks.

Normani pulls her in by her waist, sniffing the crook of her neck, "Your shower gel."

"What about it.?" Vanessa asks.

"What is it.?"

"It came from Bath and Body Works." Normani looks up to meet her eyes.
