2 weeks later ...

"What do you mean you got a job?"

"2 actually. A construction site and an mechanic."

"What kind of... Normani why would get a job let alone 2? A construction worker did work from home inspire you that much you had to actually make it a reality? A mechanic? You don't have a fucking clue about cars why would you become a mechanic?"

"Ok a construction worker does sound cliche but whatever. A mechanic while I was away I learned some things I kinda helped with the anger management class. Plus my dad let me help fix cars all the time. Now that I look at it maybe he thought I was a boy for the first 10 years of my life huh. Anyway I need these jobs."

"For fucking what?"

"For us. We looked at some houses and they looked good I should be able to buy them off cash in the next 3 months or so maybe sooner."

"Normani I told you already we don't need jobs we are financially stable for the next few years or so and enough to raise a child."

"Camila I'm only gonna say this once. I want these jobs I will do these jobs and you can not and will not stop me. I can do this babe at least for 2 months they're paying good money. I'm not passing this up. I know we don't need money but I want to have emergency money. Don't stress out. Do you understand me?"

"Normani I just..."

"That's not what I asked you Camila. I said do you understand me?"

"Normani..."

Normani got up in Camila's face towering over.

"Camila one last time do you understand me?"

"Y...yes I understand you."

"Who do you understand?"

"I understand you daddy."

"Good girl. Now gimmie kiss I gotta go pick up my uniforms."

Camila was baffled as to how Normani went from stern ass daddy mode to lovey dovey mode.  Nonetheless she leaned up and pecked Normani on the lips.

"I love you babe. I'll be back in a hour or earlier."

"I love you too. Dinner will be ready when you get back."

"It better be. Cause I got dessert handled."

"What's for dessert?"

Normani wrapped an arm around Camila's waist and whispered in her. "You." She smacked Camila on the butt and walked out the door like nothing happened.

Camila had to pinch herself a few times to see if just now really happened.
"Wow. Ok well I guess I'll start dinner let me call Lauren to keep me some company."

(Phone call with Lauren)

Camila:Hey Lolo
Lauren:what's Camz?
Camila:You wanna come over and help me cook dinner?
Lauren:Are you sure that's a good idea?
Camila:yeah why wouldn't it be?
Lauren:I know we're good but I still testified against Normani and I don't know how she's gonna react. Does she even know that we speak?
Camila:I forgave you and so will Normani. She's been taking anger management. Plus she's not home right now.
Lauren: ok if she sees me and kills me I'm coming back to haunt you.
Camila: that's fine just bring your pale ass over.

It took Lauren 15 minutes to get to Camila and Normani's apartment.
She helped Camila make enchiladas and beans. With her mothers special Cuban recipe.

"Thank you for coming over Lauren you know how to make the perfect enchiladas Normani should love them."

"No problem you no I'm here to help."
