Devonne's POV
"Hey Ricky." I cheered, plopping down on the couch next to him.
"Hi." He mumbled.
"Oh, come on!! Lighten up butter cup!" I pinched his cheeks, and her swatted my hand away.
"Stop, Dev.. I'm not in the mood." He grumbled, focusing back on the TV.
"Ricky."
"Don't Devonne, I don't want to talk about it." He snapped, turning to glare at me. "I just want to be left alone."
"Fine.." I huffed, getting up from the couch. "But, if you get too lonely, you know where to find me." I kissed his cheek, and went for the kitchen.
"Hey, Mija."
"Nana, whatch'ya doin'?"
"Thinking about want to make for dinner." She replied, looking into the fridge. " ¿Qué te gustaría comer?" I quickly understood what she said. She was the only on that spoke to me in Spanish, other than that it was always English. I always loved that she spoke it to me only, because I understood it better than Ricky did. Of course both my Mom's understood it, but they never really spoke much of it, unless it was suppose to be kept between them only.
"¿Podemos tener arroz, frijoles y carne de cerdo?"I asked, batting my eyelashes.
"Anything for you, Mija." She kissed my forehead.
"Thanks, Nana." I blew her a kiss and walked up to my room. My phone rang and I knew it was Lauren, coming off stage calling.
"Hey, babe." She panted, wiping some sweat from her forehead.
"Hi." I blushed, smiling at her. "How was the show?" I asked, watching her through the camera screen.
"The usual loud screaming girls... Same old same old." She giggled, taking a glance up and smiling at someone.
"Great show!" A male voice spoke, as Lauren nodded.
"Thanks, good luck!" She called looking over her shoulder at the boy. "I miss you." She stated, pouting into the camera.
"I miss you too." I sighed, laying down on my stomach. "How's Camila doing?" I asked, frowning at Lauren.
"She could be better, she mopes around a lot...." The camera shook a little, as she walked into their dressing room. "What about Ricky?"
"He's the same way. I think he doesn't understand that girls take a very long process to understand relationships properly." I shrugged, as Lauren placed her phone against the little table. She started pulling off her shirt, and pants standing in her underwear and bra.
"I wish I could help Camila, but she doesn't talk to me." Lauren pulled on a pair of sweats.
"Is that my hoodie?" I raised an eyebrow, watching her cheeks turn pink.
"I might have stole it from your closet." She shrugged. She swung her bag around her shoulder, and picked up some other things before walking back out the door. "I'm gonna pause you real quick.. I suggest you mute me unless you want your ears to bleed from the screaming." She blew a quick kiss, and paused me. I did as told and waited, until she popped back up with her thumb up. "Miss me?"
"Very much." I chuckled. "Where are you, on the tour bus?" I asked, and she nodded.
"Yea, the rest of the girls are on their way, I just needed to get out. It's too goddamn hot in there." She made a funny face, causing me to giggle.
"So what kind of trouble have you been up to?" I asked, getting more comfortable on my bed.
"Uh, well let's see..." She tapped her chin, making a thinking face. "Um, Dinah played a prank on Normani, which I didn't take part in."
"What did she do?"
"She put a tampon covered in jelly in Normani's bunk. She hung it right over her face." Lauren shook her head, giggling a little. "I don't know, I haven't caused any trouble yet..." I heard faint screams in the background, and a door close followed by grunts and sighs.
"It's hell out there!" Camila remarked.
"She's telling me." Lauren said to me shaking her head again. One of the girls sat beside Lauren.
"Dev!!" Dinah yelled, smiling brightly. "I miss you so much... I need my prank buddy!" She pouted.
"I know, I know.... I wish I was there."
"Hey, Dev!" I heard Ally yell in the background.
"Hey, munchkin!!" I teased.
"Oh so Dev can make fun of your height, but we can't?" Normani argued. "Hiiiiii, Dev!!" She waved at the camera and I waved back smiling.
Lauren's POV
"Lauren really misses you!!" Dinah sang, and I nudged her with my elbow. "Ow!"
"It's fine I miss her more!" My cheeks felt hot, and I knew I was blushing once Dinah and Normani said something.
"Lauren's blushing!!"
"Awwwe, look how cute!!" Dinah pinched my cheeks, and I swatted her hand away.
"Guys, stooop!!" I whine, getting up.
"Aaw, look she's blushing even harder!!" Ally cooed, jumping into the conversation. I could hear Dev giggling uncontrollably.
"Okay, time to go!" I rush to my bunk, quickly closing the curtain.
"Your so cute." Dev smiles.
"Yea, yea, yea. Don't think that just because your in Miami, and I'm in Texas doesn't mean I won't find a way to kick your ass." I playfully scold.
"Lauren we have an interview!" Camila calls.
"I'm sorry, I have to go."
"It's fine, I'll talk to you later. Have fun!" I wave goodbye, and hang up.
~~~~~~
The interview was going great, just simple questions about our album. Some about the tour we're on now, and some new projects we're doing.
"So, Lauren.... There are a few rumors going around about you and Demi Lovato's daughter." The interviewer raises Ber eyebrows, and some "Ooohs" and screams that erupted. "But what we want to know, is if it's true?"
"I mean things happen." I shrug, and we move on to the next questions.
Ricky's POV
"Hey." She smiled. "How are you?"
"Could be better." I grumbled.
"Ricky-."
"Don't Camila, please. Your making it harder than what it already is." I sigh into the phone.
"Ricky, I still want to be friends... It's just being away on tour who knows what the hell will happen between us...." She sighed. "I really want us to work.... But being your friend was so much easier, it's just- there wasn't as much..."
"Pressure." I continued for her. "I understand, I'd rather have you as a friend than as nothing at all.." I ran a hand through my hair. "Hows the tour going?" I asked desperately trying to change the subject.
"Great! Austin is pretty cool, and the girls are starting to like him too." I could picture the smile on her face, as she spoke about the tour. "Even though we're almost finished, I don't want it to end." She cheered.
"Sounds amazing.... Are you guys coming back to do a show in Florida?" I asked, getting up from my bed to go downstairs.
"Um, I think we are but I'm not sure.... I can find out."
"Great, I'd love to see you guys preform again." I smiled, and got a juice from the fridge.
"I'll talk to you soon, Ricky."
"Bye." I hung up and sat on the stool at the island. "Just friends." I sighed.
Okay, so I'm starting to get back into this writing. I haven't really been myself with writing, or anything for that matter. But I'm better now, and I'm going to try to update more. Again I'm sorry if I don't, I might not be able to do it tonight.
