If This All Works Out (Norminah)

See Me Stuntin'

"Día wake up." Lauren shook her depressed best friend. "No." Dinah muttered. "Get up." Lauren asserted. "I said I don't want to." Dinah grunted. "Dinah it's been two weeks and you need some sun, trust me your room won't miss you while your gone." Lauren parented. "I know it's been two weeks. It's kind of hard to forget how many weeks it's been because I keep counting how many days it's been since I've heard from- forget it!" Dinah growled. "Dinah you're not the only one suffering here!" Lauren burst. Dinah sulked. "Okay I get it, we're both in pain." "No matter what I always have you and you always have me but it feels the total opposite when we stay in our corners and say absolutely nothing to each other." Lauren pleaded. "I hate to say it but you're right, I don't know what tomorrow means but today we can do something." Dinah finally agreed. "Ahhhh that's my Día!!!" Lauren cheered. Dinah smiled faintly and got up to take her shower.

Dinah's POV
When I turned on the shower I sat for a while and watched my bathroom turn into a sauna. I got in it eventually, I hadn't felt heat in a while, even this wouldn't suffice. I wanted to wash my hair but I figured I shouldn't because I wasn't going to dry it afterwards and I wasn't going to wait for it to do that on its own. To my surprise I'd been in there for almost 2 hours, Lauren banged on the door and screamed this to me.

Dinah and Lauren went out the door and got in the Benz. Lauren let Dinah drive which she hadn't done in months.

"Have we landed?" Lauren teased once Dinah reached a parking spot. "Ha ha so funny." Dinah hissed. "You drive way to fast, it's a Benz not a Nissan sis." Lauren boasted. "Mercedes makes race cars." Dinah replied sassily. Dinah chirped the car and Lauren reached for her hand. The two walked hand-in-hand into the mall. 

"Where does my Día want to go?" Lauren asked. "Hmm....Vicky's" Dinah announced. "PINK it is." Lauren said cheerfully. When the two marched into the store Dinah flew to the sweatshirts and Lauren found the bras. "Uh uh Lauren you know you buy all those bras  and don't wear them." Dinah confronted her jokingly. "Not true, absolutely not true. Every girl needs a surplus." Lauren defended herself. "Whatever you gotta tell yourself to make the purchase Lo." Dinah laughed to herself. "Just try your shirts on we're not in a rush." Lauren changed the subject....successfully. Laurem sat outside the dressing room and Dinah modeled the clothes she picked each time she exited. It's safe to say that Dinah knew her own styles because each piece fit perfectly. She paid for she and Lauren's things.

"Jeans Ally, we're only getting jeans in here." Normani claimed. "Speak for yourself." Ally defended, she ran into Forever 21 and Normani followed her. The two of them started with the dark jeans and ended up somewhere. Normani grabbed shirt dresses and found a black denim jacket with flowers stitched on it. Ally bought chokers and skirts. "I need lipstick." Ally said anxiously. "Listen I hate buying makeup with you I'll be in the food court." Normani declared. "Fine." Ally huffed. The two paid for their items and Ally got lost. Normani made her way to the food court.

Dinah and Lauren journeyed for a while until Lauren broke off into the Rolex store and Dinah found Sunglasses Hut which was right across from the food court.

I'm the hut Dinah pretended she was Marilyn, Beyoncé, and JLo. Lauren called her. "This is Bey, make it quick." Dinah impersonated. "Okay well 'Bey' what Rolex do you want? There's a rose gold with diamonds or a gold one with an iced face. What's your flavor?" Lauren awaited the answer to her questions. "Which ever looks boujie-er duh." Dinah sassed. "Uh I should've known, get me some shades too....burgundy or black or tortoise...you know what? Just get me whatever looks badass." Lauren clicked. Dinah spun around in her Gucci's and did the cutest thing ever. She noticed these tortoise Chanel shades, oversized and a light emerald. They reminded her so much of Lauren, "big, beautiful, and green." just as her eyes were. She bought them on the spot before even purchasing her own, she did though. As Dinah left she wore her new glasses and flaunted out the door.

A normal Normani sat a little less than patiently for Ally to return from her spree. She looked and looked until her eyes locked with the eyes behind a black lense. "Could it be her?" she thought, "Of course it is, nobody else around even remotely resembles her."

Dinah froze, still in time she stood facing the brown girl that sat farther from than close to her. She thought of the way she cut things with her, so suddenly, so coldly. She thought of how much she cried and sobbed, doubting and blaming herself. Her tears began to form, before they fell Lauren brushed past her and grabbed her under her arm. "Ooooh Día you look gorgeous." Lauren flashed her charming smile. Just in time.

The two girls made their way to a table and Lauren asked Dinah what she wanted. "Stromboli from Sbarro" she answered. Lauren walked around the court in pursuit of it.

Even though Dinah and Lauren had unintentionally gotten lost, Normani found them or at least Dinah. She studied her. Dinah played with her hair, patiently waiting for Lauren. Normani felt conflicted; she wanted to talk to the beauty but she figured that she hated her, in addition there was no telling what she'd do if Lauren even approached her.

Lauren returned with Dinah's food and her own. Dinah happily motioned for her to sit beside her and she did.

"I have a surprise for you." Lauren spoke anxiously. "Really?" Dinah asked just as anxious. Lauren have slid a green box over to her, Dinah opened the box hesitantly and peeked as she did so. "Lo you didn't!!" Dinah gasped in awe. "Of course I did." Lauren cheesed adorably. Dinah quickly removed the watch from the box and held it in a good light. Lauren pulled her arm and put the piece on her. "It's so pretty omg." Dinah's eyes streamed tears of joy, she kissed Lauren's cheeks repeatedly, the way Cubans do. "I almost forgot, I got you something too." she remembered. "Really?" was the only word Lauren used when she asked. "Yes, I can't beat your gift though I'll be honest." Dinah reached into the bag she was carrying and pulled out a green box. Lauren held her heart, gushing at the box. Dinah opened it, made Lauren close her eyes, pulled the glasses out and put them on her face. "Díaaaaaaa." Lauren blushed, "I wanna see them but I don't wanna take them off." Lauren whined. Dinah whipped her phone out and quickly turned the camera on, she snapped photos of Lauren while she wasn't ready and they still came out gorgeous. "Woaaaah these are fucking beautiful. They look so me!" Lauren screamed excitedly. "You got that right." Dinah flirted playfully as she hugged her.

Normani watched the whole thing play out. She was livid, the thought finally crossed her mind.

Normani's POV
So that's why, this entire time she just wanted Dinah to herself. What the fuck was her purpose of getting with Ally then? Was Dinah in on this?...I really don't want to believe that but I don't have much of a choice. I can't believe this is really how it is, the fact they both would hurt people like this, fuck them both.
