Beautiful When You Don't Try

Chapter 79

           

"Do it." Harry urged.

Ally looked down and pursed her lips.

"I can't believe it. Ally Hernandez backing down."

"I am not!"

"Then do it already."

"I am too frickin old for this shit."

"Hey! No cussing in front of the kid!" He yelled back with a dropped brow.

Alex looked up at him with the same dropped brow. "It's not anything I haven't already heard. I do watch cable television you know."

"Little rock star right there." He chimed with a smile, delivering a fist bump to his daughter. Ally looked at Lauren's mini me and shook her head. No way would she ever let Harry procreate again. He was bad enough by himself, but now she knew about this little hell raiser. Not a chance. "So, are you going to do it or not?"

The Latina hesitated.

"Like I said. Ally Hernandez is backing down. She's lost her cool and has finally accepted that she's not the shit anymore."

"No. I just need another drink."

The man grinned and handed her another shot off of the small table.

"Can I have one?" Alex asked curiously.

Harry looked at her for a second as if he was actually considering it and Ally slapped him. "In about eleven years kiddo. Now do it."

The Latina bit her bottom lip and closed her eyes. "I can't."

"I knew it!"

"Oh, shut up!"

"It's not like Camila's here to see it. I could understand not wanting to do it then."

"God, fine! Okay?"

Harry clapped his hands together and rubbed them back and forth in victory before he handed the Latina a cup. "On three. One. Two. Three!"

"Do you know where Lauren is?" Clara asked as she walked into the couple's kitchen where Normani was sitting on the counter talking with Sinu, telling her about her latest dream that left the brunette ready to have a drink herself. It didn't matter that it was only three in the afternoon.

"She's outside getting yelled at." The brunette answered with a beaming smile.

Both of the older women furrowed their brows. "Why?"

"She's letting a man move in and Meg isn't happy about it. Maybe she thinks Lauren is going straight."

Sinu's brow remained down while Clara relax the tension in her face. "No. Lauren's dad may be moving to New York, not in here."

"In where?"

"Here. This apartment."

"What about it?"

"What about what?"

"You said the apartment."

"Right. He's not moving in the apartment."

"Is he moving in with Meg then?"

Clara stopped and stared at Normani who was completely serious. "No."

"Then who is he moving in with?

"No one."

"Then why is Meg mad at Lauren?" Normani asked getting a little upset and confused.
