Our Mistake (Laurmani)(COMPLETED)

I'm Sorry

Normani's P.O.V

Dinner with Lauren went better than I expected. Just being with her without Maya was nice. I hadn't noticed how much I missed being with her, just us two. It's just a feeling I cant explain. To just be with someone who just...gets you. It's comforting.

Lauren went to pick up Maya from her dance class. Dinah and I are in my dinning room. She told me she had something important to tell me.

" Calvin and I are getting a divorce." She says and my eyes widen.

" What? I thought you were trying to have a baby?" I ask and she sighs.

" We've been having problems for a while. I thought a baby would fix things but it seems like nothing can. It's over." Wow, I didn't expect that. They were really good for each other.

" You're sure that's what you want?" I ask and she nods.

" We've talked about it and decided it's for the best. We will end as friends and co parent the twins." I sigh.

"Are you okay?" I ask.

" Yeah, I've seen this coming for a while. It will be a hard adjustment once he moves out but I've had time to cope with my marriage ending."

" So are you ready to date?" She shakes her head.

" I'm not sure. I don't see it happening soon." I nod.

" So how was your date?" She says with a grin.

" It wasn't a date." I deadpan.

" Okay Mani, I'm tired of this game." What?

"What game?"

" This game where you pretend you don't want Lauren back." Ugh not this again!

" Dinah Jane-"

" We both know you want her back. Take that leap." She says cutting me off.

" I can't damn it!" I sigh heavily " I just can't."

" Why not?" She asks and as I go to answer her I hear laughing outside my door and then knocking. I get up and let Lauren and Maya in.

" Hey." Lauren says and I smile at her.

"Hi mom." Maya says and hugs me. I ruffle her hair and hug her.

" Hey Minnie, how was class?"

"Good. I'm better than them. I was the only to get all the moves right on the first try." She says proudly.

"Well that's good. Dj is in the dinning room. Go say hi." I say and she nods and leaves. Lauren closes the door and hugs me.

" What's Hansen doing here?"

" Just talking." I say and shrug.

" Big surprise. When is she not talking?"

" Don't be rude." I say and lightly smack her shoulder

" Hey Lauren." I hear from behind me and I turn to see Dinah.

" Tree top." Dinah rolls her eyes and comes to hug me.

" I'll talk to you later." She says and I nod.

" later Lauren." she says and opens the door. Lauren nods at her and she walks out. I shake my head and go into the living room with Lauren
following me. I sit on the couch and she sits next to me.

" Why do you act like that towards her?" I ask.

" Like what?"

" Like we're still in high school."
