When I arrived to Normani's townhouse, I saw Lauren get out her car. She didn't even notice my vehicle.

She fixed her shirt and flipped her hair behind her shoulder. Normani opened the door before Lauren even reached it and ran into her arms.

I watched the two exchange words and kisses which turned into a mini makeout session. When Lauren's hands landed on Normani's butt, I looked away and grabbed my purse and took the keys out the engine. This is gonna be one hell of a evening.

The purpose of this dinner is to celebrate the end of Ariana's tour which Normani opened for her. Everyone is suppose to be here tonight.

Normani spotted me getting out the car and ran to hug me.

"Bestie!" She screamed. "Hi!"

"Hi love." I smiled as I hugged her back. I looked up at Lauren who was staring over at me. When Normani broke the hug, Lauren turned around and walked inside. I didn't know how to feel about that but I couldn't care less right now.

"I'm glad you came." She said with a smile. "And biiiiiitch."

"What?" I said in confusion.

"You look so good in this damn dress." She said as she turned on me in a circle. "That ass in sitting RIGHT."

I blushed. "Ugh, Mani stop it."

"I'm serious." She laughed. "You've been looking really good lately honestly. And you have gotten kinda thick too."

"Really?" I said in panic. I didn't know if she meant I looked fat or if I actually gained happy weight.

"Yes, that ass looks right!" She laughs before tapping my butt.

"Mani stop!" I giggled. "Can we go in now?"

"Oh!" She said with wide eyes. "Yeah. C'mon."

When we walked in and into the dining room, everyone was here.

Dinah. Khalid. Ariana. Kiana Lede. Chloe and Halle. Leighanne Pinnock. Bella Thorne. Tom Holland. Zendaya. Her manager and some of her team. I was familiar with most of them.

I exchanged my hellos and hugs with everybody as I made way to my seat that Dinah saved me in between her and Zendaya.

Lauren sat across and down one seat from me, sittting next to Normani. Chloe sat next to her. This isn't gonna end well and I can feel it. My stomach was in knots the moment I pulled into the parking space.

Conversations began. Me and Lauren had not said a word to each other since I sat down so just imagine how awkward it was between us. Dinah was all over me, constantly trying to keep a conversation between us and pretty much preventing me from even looking Lauren's way. She DEFINITELY knows.

At one moment, while in the middle of talking to Khalid, who was across and three seat down from, I noticed that Lauren and Normani were missing. I looked around without making it too obvious that I was looking for them and they were no where. I remember seeing Normani get up but I never saw Lauren get up.

There was only one place going through my mind that they could be and one thing that they could be doing. I didn't wanna believe it but I couldn't ignore my intuition.

When I realized they had made it back to the table, they didn't look too much different except Lauren's hair was now in a ponytail and Mani didn't have on lip gloss anymore. Lauren only puts her hair in a ponytail for a certain activity. I would know because it's always in a ponytail when she's doing it with me.

What I think happened definitely happened.

"Um excuse me?" Kiana hollered, she was talking to Normani. Then she pointed at Normani and Lauren and we all looked at them then at her. "Where y'all been at for 5 whole minutes?"
