Better Together (Laurmani)( COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

Normani stirred in her sleep, she reached over to the other side of the bed only to be met with the cold sheets and a pillow. Normani lifted up her head from the pillow as she lazily opens her eyes to realize that Lauren's gone.

This was the fourth night in a row that she had stayed at Lauren's and it felt like the most normal thing in the world. She love spending her time with Lauren, there wasn't a moment she didn't have a smile on her face. Lauren was amazing, she was so sweet and caring to Normani and knew how to take care of her. Normani couldn't help but smile, she could actually get use to this.

She was about to go back to sleep when she saw that right next to Lauren's pillow was a note. She picked it up and read it:

Had to go to the company to interview for a job opening, Think you can meet me there before 11? A job thing came up.

XX Lauren

P.S Good morning Babe ;)

Normani smiled at the note, she looked at the alarm clock, it was 9 o'clock. She had slept more than she usually did, but with all the pregnant hormones she just wanted to sleep all day. Normani sighed and got out of bed to get ready for the day. She went over to her Lauren's closet, she had some clothes here in the apartment but she was pretty sure most of them were dirty. Normani scanned Lauren's closet, they did in fact have completely different styles. While Normani wore dresses and skirts like almost every day, Lauren had more of an urban style. Normani was amazed by all the Nike's and Adidas Lauren had in her closet.

Normani  scanned all the clothes once more before settling for the only casual dress Lauren had because she was pretty sure she could not rock the urban look. Once Normani showered and was about to put on the dress, she noticed the dress still had the tag and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was pretty sure Lauren had this dress for the longest time and hadn't even tried to wear it.

She was doing her hair and was about to get ready to go when she heard the front door. Normani looked back at the clock on the night stand, it was barely even 10, was Lauren back already? Normani frowned and made her way out of the bed room and was shock to see Ally making her way to Lauren's guest room carry a picture frame, she couldn't really see what the picture was though.

"What are you doing here?" Normani asked.

Ally jumped, "Oh my god! Mani you scared me!"

"Sorry," Normani mumbled.

"What are you doing here? Lauren said you'd be at the company by now." Ally said.

"What are you doing here?" Normani frowned.

"I uh eh…" Ally mumbled as she tried to hide the picture frame behind her back, "I came to uh drop something off."

"What?"

Ally sighed nervously, "I have to get going so I am going to leave it in the guest room and go."

"Allyson!"

Ally tried to smile as she quickly made her way into the guest room. Normani stood there a little confused on what was going on. She shook her head and decided to find out for herself. Normani too made her way to the guest room but came to an abrupt stop when Ally came out.

"What's going on?" Normani asked.

"Hey is that the dress I bought Lauren?" Ally cringed, "I knew she'd never wear it, I don't even know why I got it for her. It's been in her closet for months."

"Allyson!"

Ally locked the room with a key and placed it back in her pocket, "I told you I just came to drop something off for Lauren."
