Wrong Love ➸ Norminah {Book 2}

3

"I'm just lookin' for real friends..." I heard in the room acrossed from me. I wonder why Camila is upset again. I got off my bed and walked out of my room and knocked on her door. "C-come in..." I walked in and saw her in tears.

"Chancho what's wrong?" I pulled her into a hug and she cried on my shoulder. "L-lauren and I are fighting again..." I sighed and kissed the side of her head. "What is it about this time?" I asked and she sniffled, "I only really have you and Lauren in my life... and she thinks i'm talking to other girls and I would never do that. I love her too much." She said and I shook my head. "She needs to get her head out of her ass. Even I know you wouldn't do that." I said and rubbed her shoulder.

"Cheechee don't hurt her. Please. I love her." I sighed and nodded my head. "I'm gonna talk to her. I'll bring you a coffee. I love you."

I grabbed my things and drove over to Lauren's house.

I knocked on the door, "Lauren I need to talk to you." She came to the door and sighed. "I feel like shit, DJ." She let me in and we went to her room. She flopped down on her bed and started crying. "I know she wouldn't do that to me. I've been angry because of school and I've been so stressed." I hugged her and we discussed coming back to my house.

We walked out of her house and went to my car, driving back to my apartment I share with Camila.

Camila was sitting at her window and looked down at us, her face dropping when she saw Lauren. I heard Lauren sigh and we went up to my apartment.

"Camila let us in." She opened the door and Lauren walked in first. "Babe I'm sorry I keep blowing up on you. I love you, I really do. I'm so stressed with school." She got closer to Camila.

Camila engulfed her in a hug and kissed her. "It's okay. I love you." They were the cutest thing, I thought. I smiled and they smiled back. "I've been working on a song and I want you guys to hear it." Camila said. I frowned, thinking it was the one she had sang before. But she shook her head and I was relieved.

"It's called Never Be the Same." She said and Lauren smiled. "My favorite lyric is 'It's you babe, and I'm a sucker for the way that you move babe." Lauren smiled bigger, knowing the lyric was about her.

Incoming call from blocked number.

I was confused, I don't have anyone blocked but...

Normani.

I was scared to pick it up. "Camila... Can you pick that up for me?" She nodded and spoke. "Hello?"

"Who is this?"

... "Normani"

"Oh... I haven't seen or heard from you in a while."

... "Is this Dinah?"

"No, this is Camila."

... "Why did you answer?"

"Because she's not in her room right now."

... "Can I talk to her?"

"Um..."

..."Please"

Camila handed the phone to me.

"This is Dinah Jane."

... "How are you Dinah?"

"I'm fine."

"I know this was unexpected but, it's just been a while. I felt like we needed to talk."

"You broke my heart Normani."

"I'm sorry..."

"No, I'm tired of you popping into my life right as i'm okay. Fuck you."

"You were the wrong lover at the time... It wasn't my fault!"

"I really couldn't give two shits, Mani. Goodbye."

I hung up the phone, almost in tears. They both hugged me and we sat in silence. "I really just don't know what to do anymore. I don't love her."

"Get yourself out there, Dinah. Meet someone new. You can't sit here moping forever."

"Yes I can." I pouted.

"No. We're gonna set you up and you're gonna be fine with it."

"Great." I said.
