Lauren Jauregui Imagines |ABANDONED|

Squishy Little Enemy II

After a while of Y/N and I talking and sharing random stories, she opened her mouth to say something, but was cut off by the door opening.

"Could you believe that ass? Taking my parking spot? Unbelievable." Dinah grumbles as she enters our apartment. "Yo, Laur. That smells bomb af. Whatever that is. You order Dominos?" She asks and I stay quiet as everyone walks into the living room to see Y/N and sigh as Dinah's stare hardens into a glare. "You need to leave, Y/L/N." She growls and looks at me. "Laur, get away from her."

"Dinah, we've been here alone for six hours. I'm still alive. If she wanted to hurt me, she would've. Relax."

"Yeah. And thanks for the compliments on my cooking. You can have some if you'd like." Y/N says and I watch as Camila comes out of the kitchen with a bowl full of the food.

"Oh. My. God." Camila says and Y/N chuckles before turning to me.

"Does she always react this strongly to food?" Y/N asks and I nod.

"Dinah, you've gotta try some." Camila says, walking over to Dinah with a forkful. Hesitantly, Dinah takes the food into her mouth and I smile as I watch my bandmate's eyes roll to the back of her head as she groans.

"Holy-no. You still need to leave." Dinah says and Y/N gets up and gathers her things before slipping past the girls and putting them in her bag.

"Thank you for tonight Lauren." Y/N calls out before the door opens and closes.

"Dinah. What was that?" Normani asks and Dinah huffs.

"I don't trust her." Dinah says and I sigh.

"Well, I'm falling for her, hard. So learn to trust her." I say as I gather mine and Y/N's bowls and grab my phone and earbuds and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Y/N was going to do them, until Dinah showed up. As I'm washing dishes and listening to The 1975's Somebody Else, I feel a tap on my shoulder and look over to see Ally. I dry my hands, pause my music, and turn to her as I take my earbuds out.

"What's up, Al?" I ask and she smiles a little.

"I came to say goodnight." She says and I smile before hugging her.

"Goodnight, Mama A." I say and she smiles.

"Do those dishes and get to bed. We have to be in the studio tomorrow morning." Ally says and I nod. When she's gone, I finish the dishes in silence and put everything up. As I'm drying the counter, I hear Dinah clear her throats from the kitchen doorway. I hesitate for a second, but look over at her.

"Look, Lo, I'm sorry...about earlier. I don't know what got into me and I shouldn't have been so harsh."

"But you were. All I was doing was teaching her Music Theory, and talking to her about if we like each other or not. Believe it or not, she's a really nice girl. I have a feeling that if you'd give her a chance you'd love her like you do all of us." I say and Dinah sighs. "Why won't you give her a chance?" I ask and Dinah stays quiet, after a few seconds, I huff and slip past Dinah and take the towel to the laundry room and toss it into the washer and go to my room.

A few months after the whole Dinah incident, I smiled as I saw Lauren jogging into the coffee shop we agreed to meet at. She walked in and looked around for a second before seeing me, smiling, she walked over and sat across from me.

"Hey." She says and I smile a little wider.

"Hey." I reply before getting up when my name is called. When I sit down, Lauren is gone and I see her ordering at the counter, so I take a sip of my coffee and read the text from Bea.
