Irresistible

Chapter 26

Prue was laying in her room, her hand resting on the slight bump the baby had caused. Her mind was wandering and she didn't hear Camila walk in.

Camila sat down on the edge of the bed. "Hey, baby." She said softly, rubbing Prue's arm softly.

"Hi." Prue mumbled, she was distracted by her mind.

"What's up?" Camila asked softly.

Looking up, Prue frowns and drops her hands from her stomach. "Why did he do it?"

"Who do what?" Camila asked in confusion.

"That nurse, why did he hurt me?" She asked, sitting up and petting Blue as the dog bumps her hand.

Camila sighed. "I don't know, baby. Some people are just horrible." She said softly.

Sighing, the eight year old climbs off her bed. "I don't like school anymore."

Camila sighed. "We can pull you out and get a tutor, if you want." She said softly.

Prue shrugs and moves over to her desk, looking at her science homework.

"Do you need help with your homework?" Camila asked softly.

"That's okay, you probably want to sleep." Prue mumbled, looking at the paper.

Camila frowned. "I'll help you if you need help." She said.

Prue stays silent at she reads through the information about earth's core.

Camila sighed. She stood up and left the room, running her fingers through her hair.

Normani was in the process of making dinner, her thoughts running wild as she thought about things.

Lauren was helping her, chopping up vegetables and putting them into a bowl to make a salad.

Flinching in pain, Normani looks down and realizes she'd cut herself while chopping potatoes.

"Mani?" Lauren gasped, guiding Normani over to the sink and helping Normani clean the cut.

The older girl smiles softly. "I'm okay Laur, it's just a tiny cut." She said as she wraps it after cleaning it.

Camila walks into the room with a frown. "Is Prue mad at me?"

Normani and Lauren turned to look at Camila at the same time. "Why would she be mad at you?" Lauren asked with a confused frown on her face.

"She's being distant and seems upset with me." Camila said softly.

"You missed the appointment today, you never miss her appointments for the baby." Normani shrugged before moving back to cut the rest of the potatoes.

Running a hand through her hair, Camila sighs. "I didn't want to miss it."

"She just doesn't understand that your work is important." Normani responded.

Sighing, Camila walks over and wraps her arms around Normani's waist. "What's for dinner?"

"Potatoes, salad, and chicken." Normani responded, cutting a potato in half.

Kissing Normani's shoulder, Camila rubs her hips. "Want to share a room tonight?"

Normani shrugged. "Maybe." She said.

"Maybe?" Camila asked, stepping closer and beginning to kiss Normani's neck. "How about yes?" She said against her skin.

"Mila, can you stop, please, I don't want to cut myself." Normani said.

Frowning, Camila stepped back, rejection flashing in her eyes before she turns and walks off.
