My Pillow Princess [Laurinah]

Part 5: Bother

Lauren pov.

It's Saturday. Fuck yeah.

Like every other teenager, the first thing I do after waking up is reach for my phone. I'm spinning around on my bed, arms spreading out and moving up and down to find my phone, just to realizes 5 minutes later that I have no phone.

Great.

Mani and I have plan to go to the mall today but I don't even know what time it is. Who still has clock on their bedroom wall? Not me.

"MOM!?" I shouted.

"MOM, I NEED HELP!" I heard a sound of someone running upstairs.

"Lauren are you alright? I'm coming in" The door bust open right after she said that.

"Honey, what happened?" My mother look at me with confused expression. Maybe it's something gotta do with me yelling for her help.

"What time is it?" I asked in a baby voice.

"Are you serious? I almost trip myself running up the stairs just for this?" Putting both of her hands on her hip, she glared at me.

"yes" I answer with an even smaller voice.

"It's almost 11.30 in the morning and you are lucky I love you." Sighing as she move her right hand from her hip to run it through her hair.

"WHAT! I gotta run. Can you please drop me off at the mall? Please please." I jumped of the bed and go straight to my bathroom. Brush my teeth and wash my face then walk out. Grabbing whichever piece of clothes I get my hands on, put them on and run down stairs.

"Come on mom, let's go! Or Mani is going to kill me!!" I shouted from the front door.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Oh my gosh this child." Mom whispering to herself at that last part.

"I can hear youuu!"

-- Clara dropped Lauren off at the mall --

I run to Starbuck because I am now 30 minutes late and an angry Normani is something that you do not ever ever want to mess with.

Pushing open the coffee shop's door I stop dead right on my track. Normani is sitting on a comfortable chair, sipping her cup of hot coffee. But Normani is not alone. She's having a what seem to be like a good conversation with someone.

That someone is Lucy.

What the actual fuck.

As shocked as I was, I slowly walking towards them and take my seat next to Mani. She looked at me with surprised and apologized written on her face.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. I overslept and I don't have a phone for you to texts-spam me." I ignore every feelings that building up inside, and Lucy, and said my apology to Mani.

"Oh um, it's ok. Did you order anything yet? I wanna order another cup, come with me?" Mani asked me with begging eyes as she standing up and sticking out her hand for me to take. I did.

"Ok what the fuck is going on? Why the fuck is Lucy here? Why the fuck are you with her? What the fuck Mani" I said immediately once we were in front of the ordering counter.

"Calm the fuck down Lo. I was just chilling here waiting for your ass to show up, which by the way, you were late! And Lucy just walked in here and noticed me so she came up to me and we were just talking." There is nothing but truth in her voice as she explained.

"I would text you to let you know that she's here but damn you and your phoneless ass."

"You better not be lying to me Mani." Saying as I sigh. This is just great.
