Normani

You know this competition is hard and because four of us are still minors we have our parents with us. Right now we are with our vocal coach. The song we are doing first is one that Lauren picked. She was looking at me and said I want to sing "Anything Can happen" because nothing is written in stone.

"Alright since Lauren chose the song she gets to sing second after Ally" our vocal coach expressed. I shrugged because I didn't care who sung first as long as we went out there and slayed. I didn't know what was going to happen then they had us rehearse for hours. "Take five ladies" our vocal coach said. I walked over to the table with refreshments and made me some tea. I look over and saw Lauren talking with her mom.

My mom was excited and so proud of me and couldn't wait to see what we did at the live shows. "Hey baby are you okay" My mom asked. I nodded because I didn't know if my voice would show the confidence my face and body showed. I made a second cup of tea and my Mom looked at me.

"It's for L-Lauren" I stammered. She smiled and turned me and pushed me towards the raven haired green eyed beauty. "U-uhh h-hey I thought you might like some tea to soothe your throat" she took the cup and smiled. "Thanks Mani" her eyes shamelessly racked over my body and I became nervous.

Lauren
Normani was looking beautiful as always. We're the same age she just a month older. After practicing with our vocal coach we went back to the hotel. My mom was on the phone with my dad. There was a light knock on the door. I got up and stood on my tip toes to see who it was. There in pajama shorts and tank top was Normani hair in a ponytail. I opened the door. "Yes, M-Mani can I help you?" She gave me a small smile. "Umm the girls and I are having a mini sleepover in Ally's room, and we wanted to know if you wanted to join us?" She asked looking into my eyes with her beautiful brown ones. "Uh, let me ask my mom really quick" I left the door opened. "Mami is it ok if I sleep over in Ally's room with the rest of the girls?" I asked she gave me a thumps up and smiled.

I returned and grabbed my favorite pillow and left with Mani. "Are you nervous about the live shows?" Mani spoke up as we walked down the hall. I shrugged and smiled. "I am but I'm not if that makes sense" I replied. "It totally does cause I feel the same way and the song you picked is going to be amazing" she smiled

The next morning we did another run through for the show. As we was prepping for the evening event I saw all the girls in a circle. "Lauren come we are saying a small prayer before we go perform" Ally waved me over. I squeezed between Dinah and Normani and held their hands.

We got in our starting positions and I felt like I was going to be sick. I looked around the table and made eye contact with Mani. "We got this" she mouthed with a wink and smile. I felt my nerves calm down. The lights flashed on and the music started we harmonized the intro and Ally began her verse. The song went by in a blur but from the applause we were getting I frigates we did an amazing job.

Normani
After that performance I was pumped and I just wanted to hang out with the girls. I looked at Lauren and she was just smiling as she talked to Camila. I walked over and joined the conversation but was lost because they were speaking in Spanish. "Sorry Mani we just trying to express how pumped we are after that performance" Lauren said to me. She held my hand and swung it back and forth for a second till my mom called me to help get in comfortable clothing.

-----------------

The evening went by pretty slow and I couldn't sleep and it was already 11:30pm. I picked up my phone and started texting Lauren.

To Lauren💚👀: Hey Lauren are you woke?
From Lauren💚👀: Yes, just laying down in bed looking out the window
To Lauren💚👀: I can't sleep so I figured I would text you
From Lauren💚👀: Are you saying I'm boring Mani 😐🤔😢
To Lauren💚👀: no no never far from boring you are the most intelligent and beautiful person I have ever met

Before I could think about what I typed I had already hit send. I froze and my eyes were big and I gulped when I seen that my notifications showed a text from Lauren. Ugh fml and my fast typing fingers.

From Lauren💚👀: Aww thanks Mani your Beautiful as well more ways than one and that smile and that body girl you will give any model a run for their money
To Lauren💚👀:  um... thank you LoLo I really need cuddles and I have no teddies to cuddle with
From Lauren💚👀: Well, I could...um nvm it's stupid idea
To Lauren💚👀: no! Tell me what's the idea?
From Lauren💚👀: I was just going to say I could come and be superhuman and give you LoLo cuddles ☺️
To Lauren💚👀: I would love that please and thank you my superLauren 😘☺️

After a few minutes small knocks were heard at the door. I opened the door and there stood Lauren in her Pajamas. "Lauren to the rescue" she said with a shy smile. Once we came back inside we got comfortable in my bed as my mom slept peacefully in hers. "You smell heavenly" she mumbled with sleep evident in her voice. I blushed and snuggled deeper into her arms.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️   
Hello my babies I know the top talked about Mani's Birthday and I'm posting wayy after but Yesterday was Lauren's bday. She is such a beautiful soul and so many people talk bad about her character. But I have never seen a woman so invested in the lives that others deem unworthy. Some fans talk about her voice deteriorating but I feel her voice has Matured and grown. I loved Lauren first and always will from her eyes that speaks so much truth to her smile that shows she never always serious. I love Normani as well but if I could I would always choose them both❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍😍
