Our Mistake (Laurmani)(COMPLETED)

Dating

Lauren's P.O.V

I've been very conflicted this last week. After what happened with Mani, I just haven't known what to do with myself. I think Normani loves me but she just needs time. She just needs to decide if she wants to be with me. I'm conflicted on what to do. Do I date? If I do date will she take that as me not wanting her anymore? I don't see any reason to date because I want her but what if she doesn't want me? What if she just says she can't? Am I supposed to be alone forever? This is so fucking confusing.

Luckily I get to let my mind drift from that, at least for a little while. Maya and I are supposed to be seeing a movie with Kehlani. She got all emotional on me a couple days ago, saying she must not really be my best friend since she hasn't met Maya so to shut up her bitching I invited her to come with us. First I have to pick up Maya though. I get out my car and knock on the door.

"Hey." Normani says when she answers. She's in a robe but her hair and make up are done.

"Where are you going?" I ask as I come in. She closes the door and says.

"Out." Then walks to her bedroom with me following.

"Out? Out with who? Out where? How long are you going to be out? Where the fuck is out." I say as she looks around her dresser for something.

"Lauren, I am a grown woman. I owe you no explanation and I don't have to answer your questions." She says without looking at me and walks to her closet.

"You do need to answer my fucking questions. Don't you think I should know where the hell you are and who the hell you're with in case something happens to Maya or you?!" I say frustrated. I mean why the fuck wouldn't she tell me she was going out? I think that's some fucking important information to be shared!

" You seriously need to calm down okay? This isn't a big deal. At all. I'm just going out with a friend."

"Well who the fuck is this friend and where are you going?" I say with my hands on my hips.

"Lauren, you have one more time to curse at me before I kick you out. You don't know him and we're just going to dinner." She says turning from her closet with two dresses and lying them on the bed.

"So it's a date? You're going on a date?"

"I'm going out to dinner." Ugh. I roll my eyes and sigh.

"What's his name and how long have you known him? Where'd you meet him?"

"Lauren, I honestly don't have time for this. Maya is in her room. Go talk to her."

"Answer my questions Mani." I say and she sighs.

"Ugh! Fine! His name is Ty and we started talking about a week ago. Now don't ask me another question." I sigh and walk out.

it's been a fucking week and she's already got a date. It's official. I'm fucked. I try to forget about it as I walk up the stairs to Maya's room. I knock on the door before going in. I walk in and she's in her closet, looking on the floor for something.

"What are you in here doing?" I say and she looks up.

"No! Why are you here?!" She says.

"Well I'm glad to see you too."

"No, I can't find my shoes. Ugh!" She says frustrated and I can't help but laugh. I walk over to her and says.

"Relax nugget. I'll help you look." I ask her what shoe it is and then start to look around the room.

"We have time before the movie starts." I say as she frantically searches her closet. I find the shoe right behind her door and pick it up but I don't say anything.
