Holdin On

Chapter Seventeen

Because y'all so dope 😝

"Ok, so what should I wear for tonight?" Lauren grinned,

"Nothing is good to me" Normani laughed a deep throaty laugh that made Lauren bit her lip and squirm a little. Damn that sounded sexy.

"Should've knew that was coming." Lauren shrugged her shoulders even though Normani couldn't see, "Anyways, how was the visit babe" Lauren smiled while laying back on her bed.

"It was okay. Nothing really impressive but I can honestly say that I don't want to go there anymore." Lauren said putting an arm behind her head,

"Really? Because of karrie" Lauren laughed knowing full well that Normani knew how to say her name.

"Aww is my baby jealous" She hears Normani snicker, "It's okay to say that you were missing me and worried about me".

"Whatever. It's you that was missing me" Lauren kept a smile on her face as she pulled the phone away and opened her pictures to look at the pic she got saved of Normani. True.

"I definitely was after you sent that pic to me. Mmmm what I would've done to you if I was there" Lauren could feel Normani smiling through the phone.

"Oh yea?" Lauren nodded, "We'll I wa- Zenny what you doin?" Lauren groaned as she hears the two talk a little, "Well that's pretty shitty." Lauren faintly heard Zendaya asking who she was talking to, "Laurens-"

"Ren! What's up?" Laurenlaughed, "What ManiBear? Ren is my bro, dawg, hoe and homie all wrapped into one." Lauren shook her head at Zendaya describing their friendship. Granted, they were good friends and were getting closer everyday. "She is. Hell, she could be my wingwoman but I can already get girls." Lauren hears "What girls since you can't get Dinah"from Normani and starts giggling, "hey! Girls, including her, dig this sexy tech geek especially since I'm good with my fingers and hands amongs other things." Lauren sits up and starts heading downstairs to get a water while listening to their conversation.

"Anyways Zen, how's everything going?" Laurenasks as she feels a beep in her ear indicating a text. She opens to see Ally saying that they were having a girls night. Not uh!

"I'm good. Hold on!' She hears shuffling and then a door slam close, "Ok, Yea Normani isn't too happy since I have her phone but it is what it is." Lauren laughed as she got a water out of the fridge,

"You're in so much trouble when she gets in" Lauren shakes her head while opening her bottle. She hears another text and sees that it's from Dinah saying no buts. Lauren rolls her eyes.

"Yea, we'll see but anyways what's up with you and my little sis." Lauren froze. Oh shit. Lauren tried to think quickly to come up with an idea to tell Zendaya but Zendaya beats her to it. "Don't try and act like there isn't something going on between you. I'm just as smart as Normani and I'm not oblivious to your attraction to each other." Lauren takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. Damn Normani is going to be mad at me. "You know I like you Ren but I'm going to need you to cut off all these girls you have and give Normani what she deserves." True.

"I know that Zen. Normani is amazing. I'm doing everything that I can to pick it up." Lauren says hearing her phone beep again and sees that it's Kehlani stating they'll have a sleepover tonight and then go to Keith's pool party tomorrow.

"Really?' Zendaya says, skeptical about Lauren, "I mean come on Ren. I know how you think. I think the same way at times. I just don't want you playing with ManiBear's head nor her heart ya feel me" Laurennods, "If you do, lets just say you won't be getting into college, or have a clean record or-"
