Holdin On

Chapter Five

A/N: Lauren's thoughts will now be Italicized.

Lauren had on her red and black warm up suit ready to lead her team on the court after the boy varsity game ends, and Normani still wasn't there. She was disappointed because she thought for sure Normani said she was coming and then she could ask her out afterwards. So much for that idea. She was actually thinking of taking Karrueche's offer about a good time for tonight. Lauren smiled a little when she saw Justine come in and wave her over.

"We'll aren't you a little late, huh Justine" Lauren teased her as Justine nodded.

"I know." Justine said as she looked her up and down. "You look good" Lauren narrowed her eyes while nodding her head, "Are you going to the party tonight?" Lauren looked away for a second trying to think if she actually wanted to go now while running a hand through her hair.

"Umm I'm a little undecided right now." Lauren shrugged her shoulders. "Are you?" Justine nodded her head. Lauren raised her eyebrows like she was interested, "Well in that case, I may have to make an appearance." Justine looked away before coming close to Lauren and whispered in her ear,

"And then maybe I can make it up to you for being late" She kisses the area right under her ear before pulling back and biting her lip. Lauren licked her lips. "Well if you insist. " She looked at Justine with a smile on her face while back up and shrugging her shoulders as Justine grinned at her before taking off her jacket and warm up pants and heads to her nike duffle bag , then she begins her stretches. She slyly glances at the stands to see if Normani was here one last time but didn't find her. There's other girls, Lo. No biggie. Her eyes connected with Selena noticing her coming over with a teasing smile on her face. What is she up to?

"Hey Lo" Lauren smiled at her while squinting her eyes at her trying to figure out what she was up to. "So I was thinking..."  "about?''  "that since you're the best at what you do..." Selena looked her up and down, "That maybe you could give me some private one on one time" Why did she have to be on the team? Lauren would never mess around with a teammate again after the drama that happened with Becky. "You know help me out a bit" Nope not again.

"I don't know about that, Sel." Lauren smiled at her running a hand through her hair. "I don't think you would be able to handle it." But Nothing wrong with flirting.

"I would too." Selena trailed her eyes down and then back up, "Come on, Lo. You're the best and I wanna know what the best feels like" Selena said coming closer to Lauren and putting a hand on her arm. Becky sees the interaction between the two and then walks over to the two.

"Best at what?" Becky interrupts the two. Selena looks over at Becky shrugging her shoulders,

"Best on the court. Is that ok with you Becky?" Selena narrows her eyes at Becky, hating the fact that she interrupted their private conversation. Lauren looked between the two with a smile on her face shaking her head. See, drama.

"Sure" Becky said shrugging her shoulders and folding her arms over her chest. "I know first hand that Lauren is good" with a smirk getting Selena to glare at her. Oh Lord! Lauren put her head down and her pinched the bridge of her nose to keep from laughing out loud. Never again!

"But that was in the past. I'm sure she's better now, right Lo" Selena said with a smile getting Becky to glare back at her before they both looked at her. She looked at them bringing her hand down to her mouth to bite on her knuckle trying to hide the smile. She nodded and then makes her way to her lane with the two of them trailing her. "See, I wanna know what the best feels like".

"With your stamina, you couldn't keep up with Lauren" Becky responded pulling Lauren back in the conversation. I need to get out of this conversation. She looked at Becky who stepped a little closer to Selena .
