Merry Chrismas Long Time No See (2)
"Your fiancé?" I stutter, she smiles and nods. I stepped back getting a good look at the two. Putting a smile on my face I extended my arm. "Hi it's nice to meet you I'm Y/n" the brunette shakes my hand. "Nice to meet you too, I don't think I ever heard your name before." I glanced at Lauren who lets out a yawn.
"Oh well, I'm not really in everybody lives anymore so you won't hear much...but congrats you too" She let's go oh my hand. And walks in.
"Congratulations Lauren" she pulls me into a hug "I missed you y/n"
"I missed you too" we both pulled away. She places her hands on my shoulders. "Wow you look so beautiful" I chuckled "what? I don't even have any makeup on"
"You never needed makeup y/n" I blushed rolling my eyes. Turning around I saw the girls staring at us. "What?"
They all chuckled shaking their heads and continuing what they were doing.
I closed the door, "so when's the wedding?" I asked "in February" I nodded. "Aw, the month of love" I chuckled.
I looked down at her bags. "Oh god let me show you to your room" I grabbed her bags, "oh no I got it"
"Ok," she follows me the stairs. I walked down the hall and opened the door to her room. She hums "nice...your place is big, who do you live with?"
"No one"
"Really? I couldn't live here by myself" I shrugged my shoulders "Eh, it's quiet and peaceful I like it that way"
"Are you in a relationship right now?" I looked at her as she put her bags next to the bed. "No I'm not actually" she looks up at me "why?" She chuckles. "Still looking...you know me, very picky" she nods. "Oh yeah. Well I know you'll find someone soon that's right for you....it might take years but always be patient"
I looked down at my feet and cleared my throat. "I'll be downstairs" I turned around and jogged downstairs. I walked into the kitchen. "Mhmm Yams my favorite"
Ally shoves me "don't go near it, it needs to be perfect move!"
I raised my hands in defense backing away. "Sorry" walking out I noticed that I really didn't have much to do so I just sat down on the couch and got on my phone.
"You and Lauren were friends in highs school right?" Camila asked me. I wasn't going to tell her we dated, it was in the past. I don't want to make anything awkward. "Yeah...best friends actually"
"Then What happened?"
"what do you mean?"
"She never talks about you. And you never came and visit" I nod "oh um,-"
"Y/n never answers her PHONE!" Dinah yells. I rolled my eyes, "I am busy"
"Yeah, she's been busy for 10 years...I believe she didn't want to hang with us" Normani speaks. I let out a chuckled. "My feelings for all you guys haven't changed, I just been very busy with school, and you know my career"
"Sure"
My phone buzzes in my hand.
Ariana: He's back again, I'm Scared.
You: who?
You: Micheal?
Ariana: yes I know I said I'll only text you about business but this is getting out of hand. He's threatening me and I don't feel safe here
You: do you want me to come pick you up?
Ariana: if it's not a bother
You: of course not. You're staying over for dinner I'll be over in 10.
"Who's Ariana?" I jumped up placing my hand on my chest "god you scared me" I chuckled, as Dinah raised her eyebrows. "She's one of my friends and I'm her lawyer...I Uh have to pick her up"
"Let me go with you I want to meet her"
"Dinah no...we have to talk business. And it's private" she sighs and pouts. "She's coming over right?"
"Yeah, she is-"
"Then its a date"
"Wait What?" She chuckles. "I know you told everyone that you're not dating but I believe that this would be a perfect opportunity for you" I shook my head. "I'm not going to date one of my clients just so I can fit in with everyone. The last thing on my mind-"
"Is Lauren" she smirks I roll my eyes "is dating someone" she sighs "fine if you say so"
I grabbed my keys off the table. "I'll be back, don't break anything"
"Whatever" I walked out the house and into my car. Once I got to Ariana place, I honked the horn. She runs out with a duffel bag. "Thank you so much y/n you don't know how much this means to me" I chuckled "it's no problem I'm always here for my clients. Don't worry"
She buckled her seat belt. "I-I think I want a restraining order on Michael" I glanced at her "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure...I can't live like this y/n...I want a divorce, I want a restraining order and I want to feel safe. I found out that I was pregnant last night and getting an abortion is against my beliefs. I can't have my child living this lifestyle" I nod "ok, I swear after this weekend we'll get right into business" she smiles at me.
I stopped at a store to pick up some paper plates and plastic forks spoons, and knives. I know after dinner we aren't going to want to wash dishes.
Once we pulled up in front of my place. I let out a sigh, grabbing her arm, "Hey um I have my friends over for the week, and they all brought their husbands and fiancés and I was wondering if-"
"I could be your date?" She chuckles "sure I don't mind" I smiled "Uh great...follow me" we got out of the car, I grabbed her bag. We walked into the house.
"Did you get the cups and plates?" Normani asked. I handed her the bags "yes"
I looked over at Ariana. "Guys this Ariana she's-"
"YOUR DATE!" Dinah shouts "I was going to say she's staying over but yeah she is"
"Oh really? It's nice to meet you" Lauren says walking over and shaking her hand. "I'm Lauren"
"Nice to meet you Lauren I'm Ariana" they both smiled at each other. The girls all introduced themselves to her I grabbed her bag and ran upstairs putting her bag in my closet.
"How long have you guys known each other?" I looked back to see Lauren. "Oh I just became her lawyer not so long ago..and we instantly You know just became friends" she chuckled. "Well..." she trails off "she's cute" I nod "I'm not really attracted to her like that we're just friends" she raises her eyebrows and nodding. "I was going to say that you guys would look cute together but I could tell that she wasn't your type" she walks up to me placing her hand on my shoulder.
"Um," she gives me a smile. I bite my lip. "I was wondering if you can become my one of my bridesmaids for our wedding"
I stared at her for a couple of seconds trying to process this. Is she being serious right now?
"Um I don't know"
"Oh y/n come on my wedding wouldn't be the same without you" she places a hand on my cheek. "Please?"
"This is very last minute you're getting married in two months" I grabbed her hand removing it from my face. "Yeah...but I think it would be the perfect opportunity to rekindle our friendship yeah?"
"Rekindle our friendship?" She nods "Lauren I can probably just be a guest, but I have work...and I can't promise you that I'll be there" she sighs. "Ok um fine...Ally said hey ready all the food is done and we're about to go out" I nod my head.
"Ok"........
