Y/N POV 

       When we get downstairs and we see the girls sitting on the couch and Ashley in the kitchen eating ice cream. The first person to place their eyes on us was Dinah. She looks at me with hope and I just nod my head and she smiles. I knew what she wanted to ask which was if everything was alright. Dinah walks over to me and hugs me. "Everything between you guys good?" She whispers in my ear. "Yeah he left?" She nods her head and pulls away. "Mami ice cream." Come on let's go get some ice cream." Dinah takes Chey from my arms and walks into the kitchen. 
       I stare at her while she walks away. The way her hips move when she walks. Left, right, left, right. "Ow!" I say as I rub the back of my head. "Stop staring at her butt." My mother says. "How you gonna tell me to stop looking at my girlfriend? She's my girlfriend. Anyways, mom this is Ally, Camila, Lauren, and that is my girlfriend Dinah Jane. Guys this my mom Barbara Y/LN. And the little girl in there is my sister Ashley and you know Ayana. The one that tried to kill us on our way here." "I didn't try to kill you guys! You just can't drive!" Ayana yells from her room. "Says the one that ran three stop signs on her way here. I passed my test with a 100." I yell back. "She what!?" Aunt Drea yells. "Oops." I shrug my shoulders and sit next to Lauren.
"Hi best friend." She laughs and waves at me. "Wanna go smoke? I got some shit I picked up from Chris when we were in Atlanta." I whisper in her ear. "Yeah I need and I need to talk to you. Mani has been something else." I nod my head and we get up. "Where are you two going?" Normani asks us. "To do what we do. Don't ask questions." "Babe? What are you going to do?" Dinah comes out the kitchen with Ashley and Chey in her arms. "To..um.. ya know... just to." "Real smooth Y/LN." Lauren says. "Then you tell Mani what we are about to do." I say as I kiss my teeth. "Well you see Mani... we're um.. we're going to um..." "Real smooth Jauregui." I say sarcastically.
"Well we are going to the store. And my hotel to pick up me and Chey's bags. Anybody want anything?" "Mama candy." Chey says. I shake my head. "You had candy on the plane and it's your nap time. Babe can you please?" Dinah nods her head. "Can you buy me some mangos?" I nod my head and turn toward the girls. "Lauren can you get me some wings?" "Mani I cooked there's some in the kitchen." Mani rushes up off the couch and into the kitchen.
"Come on Lauren." I say as I walk out the house.

"While we were on the plane I asked Mani if she wanted to tell her parents and she said not yet. I understand that she's scared but I mean it's been almost a year since we've been dating. I even asked mama Drea if she would care if Mani was gay and she said no as long as she was happy then she's okay with it. My parents know we're together. Shit all the girls family knows but hers." Lauren says as she passes the blunt.
"Lauren all I can say really is wait. I'll talk to Mani about talking to my Aunt and uncle. The other question is how long can you wait?" I look at her as I take another pull. She looks down and shakes her head. "I don't know honestly."
      Honestly I feel bad for Lauren. I don't know how she feels but I can get a sense of it. I know that if I wasn't able to show love to Dinah in front of her family to prove that I'm good for her, I'd feel like shit. And I bet that's how Lauren feels. The thing is I talked to Mani before. She said that she's scared of what everyone else would think. Mani isn't the one to worry about others opinions but this her family and I understand where she's coming from. Her concern isn't with her mom it's her dad. But I know my uncle and I know he would love her regardless of who she chooses to love. 
"Sometimes I feel like giving up. Like I don't deserve her. I'd rather her be with Chris than with me. And sometimes I feel like she'd like that too. She's always texting and flirting back with him. They're meant to be." She says as she takes the blunt from me. I light up the next one because we need to get rid of the weed before we leave here. "Lauren, Normani doesn't flirt with him. I don't know what your talking about. Chris does it because he likes fucking with you and me. He does it to Dinah all the time. Yeah I get mad sometimes but he knows his limits. And when they text it's always about music or he asks her for advice. I know because he tells me." I take a pull from the blunt then ashing it.
"He's my bro I know he wouldn't take it that far. Anybody can see how happy you make Mani. Mani talks about you all the time when she's over my house or on my bus. She looks at you the same way I look at Dinah." "And how is that?" "Like she's the only girl in the world. Whether or not we'd like to admit it there's many people that want Normani but the best thing about it is that she only wants you. Plus I trust you being with Mani than Chris." I say shrugging my shoulders after.
"Alright. I'll think about it." Lauren says as she puts the blunt out. "Come on let's go to the store and change our clothes so we don't go smelling like weed. My aunt would be on my ass."
     We get up from the park bench and head to the rental. Dinah, my mom, and my aunt would beat my ass if I came back smelling like weed. I drive to the hotel and hop out leaving Lauren in the car so I can run in get the bags and check out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Y/NN we should get a bunch of junk and order pizza. I'm so hungry right now." Lauren says while laughing. Me and Lauren are both high as shit. After we got the bags we decided to smoke the rest of the blunt. See when I'm high I'm mellow and think about life, while Lauren is the type to ask dumb questions and laugh a lot. "We can't I think my mom and aunt cooked so there's no need."
     Right now we are in Walmart and I'm in the produce section picking out mangos for Dinah. I pick up three of the already cut up mangos and put them in the cart. I pick up bananas because I have a feeling Camila ate the rest that was at the house. Then me and Lauren go to the candy and snack aisle and we just start throwing things in the cart. From snickers to Funyuns. We go to the drink aisle and pick up drinks. There was an old lady in the aisle and she started looking at us weird. "It's my daughters birthday and we're throwing a party." "Her birthday was last week. We went to Chuckie Cheese." I look at Lauren like she was stupid. The old lady shakes her head and walks away.
      We make our way to the register and see that there are only three registers open and long lines. I don't understand how there are twelve registers but there are only three open. And it's the middle of the day. Me and Lauren find the shortest line and wait. "Hey your Y/N Y/LN and Lauren Jauregui from Fifth Harmony right?" I turn to see a beautiful female standing next to me. "Yeah. We are." "Come on I'll ring you up." I just realized that she's wearing a Walmart jacket vest. "Come on Laur." I move the cart to the register that she walked to and me and Lauren put the things on the belt. Once everything is on the belt Lauren takes the cart and puts the bags in cart.
"So what are you guys doing out here when one resides in Miami and your reside in LA?" She asks as she continues to scan our stuff. "We have a concert tonight and then we are on break and we are staying out here to meet my family and stuff." I say while I take out my wallet. "That's cool. I wish I could go. My little sister has been dying to go to one of you concerts even though she's necessarily too young to be listening to your music. Your very explicit." I chuckle. "Well I don't think it would fit my look if I didn't." She looks me up and down as she types in something. "Definitely wouldn't. Your top sexy not to be. Dinah is lucky to have someone as fine as you." She says as she bit her lip.
      If I wasn't with Dinah, I might and I really mean might have found that sexy but I didn't. Honestly it took me down from my high a little. I mean of course I get snaps and dms from my fans flirting with me and I do look at them being the nice person I am, but that is different than someone flirting with me in my face. Ever since I've been with Dinah it's always been about Dinah. I never let anybody come between us and I won't let it happen either. "Yeah I'm lucky to have her too.  And I don't think she would like if you was flirting with me." I slide my black card through the machine following the direction afterwards. "She doesn't have to know about it." She says as she twirls her hair. I look at her name tag 'Felicia'. "Well me being the good girlfriend that I am, I'm going to tell her." I say as I take my receipt from her and walk away from her with Lauren pushing the cart.
"Oh and from the words from Dinah 'BAH FELICIA!'" I through up a peace sign walking out the doors with a laughing Lauren.
