I'm Not Your Toy

The Loving Part 2

"Welcome, welcome, you are the second to last person here, and you're late, but welcome to our humble abode." Dinah answers the door, greeting Camila into her house.

The girl walks in with a face full of awe. It had only been 5 years since she has last really known the girls, but how does one get enough money to purchase a giant house so quickly after college?

"I'm guessing you didn't expect our house to look like this?" All she could do was shake her head and continue to walk through the big foyer. "How?" This house is borderline mansion status. They have a long driveway past a gate, the whole shebang.

"What can I say? We both have great jobs. I'm taking over the company and Normani is working with celebrities." She says with a laugh. "Honestly, we didn't plan for things to turn out so well. We could barely afford rent and food for two years and then our careers kind of blew up fast. The first thing I did was get my family a house so it's not so crazy anymore for them."

Camila isn't really listening to what her old friend was saying because there is a dog jumping all around them. "Raider, down." Dinah commands with a stern voice and the dog complies.

"Shake." She holds out her hand and the dog throws his paw into it. "Speak." He lets out a single bark. She steps back a few paces and looks him dead in the eye as she holds up her hand with her fingers in the shape of a gun. "Bang!" She exclaims and he begins to flail around and make noises before silently laying down on his back. She motions to Camila to follow her around to the backyard before yelling "Live!" and the dog is almost instantly by their side again.

"That was fucking amazing!" Camila exclaims before realizing that she was surrounded by the other two girls that she hasn't properly talked to in years. Once she notices them staring, Dinah notices how the girl appears to shrink in her appearance. She gives her girlfriend a scolding look, as if to tell her to be nice and talk to the girl to make her feel comfortable.

After a few minutes of awkward reintroduction and even more congratulating them on their engagement and Ally's marriage and baby. Ally lived up to her promise and is scrolling through several hundred pictures of her son and husband.

Camila is so into the pictures that she fails to notice the knock on the door and Dinah yelling that she would get it. Moments later, she returns with Lauren, who is holding a little white dog.

"AAAAAAHHHH YOU BROUGHT HER?!?!" Normani screams at a high pitch. "Holy shit, GRACIE, I'm your auntie." She pauses to look at Lauren "I'm already in love with her".

Camila watches the four girls obsessing over the toy frenchie Lauren and Lucy just adopted, whose name is apparently Gracie. Feeling awkward, she decides to start texting her sister, not going unnoticed by Dinah.

"Okay! So how has everybody been? Everybody has to fill you in, but I think you need to be the one that starts, Mila."

Camila's POV

Oh great, no pressure at all. I have no clue what I should or shouldn't even share with them at this point. I tried talking to Sophie earlier about what was going on and she reminded me that we still need to be careful.

"Uhh. What do you want to hear? I'm almost a completely open book." Dinah grabs Normani to sit down in her lap so they are both engaged my story time.

"Umm everything. If it's too long- give us the spark-notes, but the juicer, the better." Dinah replies, earning a giggle from Normani and Ally.
