The art of being a beard (Camila/You)

Chapter 7

Narrator's POV

It was now later in the same week.

That date with Y/N was still fresh on Camila's mind and she found herself smiling a little at the memory. The novelist might be a bitch sometimes, but the way they can so easily make the other turn into a flustered hot mess was just...  Camila can't quite find the right word for it but just thinking about it now is already making her blood rush to her cheeks. 

"Hmm, thinking about your little girlfriend again now, aren't we?"

Normani's voice pulled the brunette back to reality and she found herself blushing even harder now. "Shut up. I'm not."

"Sureee," the dark-skinned girl dragged out, not believing it for a single bit.

The two best friends happened to be in the same city at the same time for once, so they were like 'hey, let's hang out'. Well, so far that they've been in this coffee shop, all Camila has done is stare down at her cup of tea and sigh out dreamily. It was practically written all over her face that she's in love. 

She suddenly remembered a tweet she's screenshotted this morning and showed it to the brunette, zooming on the part that's relevant. It was the selfie the fan took with them the other day. "I haven't seen you glow like that in any of your past relationships."

Camila took the phone from her hand and looked at the picture. She just realized that this was the first picture of them where both of them were smiling, and like genuinely smiling, not just for the paps or whatever. And that just made her heart do a happy dance, if that was a thing. 

Normani felt really left out so she waved her hand in front of her best friend's face to catch her attention again. "You're really falling for her, huh?" she said with a smirk. 

The brunette rolled her eyes and pretended to not care. "Wait, why do you have that pic on your phone?" she asked with raised eyebrows, very subtly changing the topic. 

"Well, our lovely fans decided to tag me in it." Normani shrugged. 

Camila realized that the picture was zoomed in on, so she zoomed out again to see the full pic. Of course, it'll be a part of a meme. There it was, her picture with Y/N placed above one of her with her fellow singer, used on the Drake Hotline Bling template. 

"The Normila shippers are in action again, huh?" the brunette said with a shake of her head. This had happened every time with her past relationships too, so she's not exactly surprised anymore. Each and every one of her relationships will just be compared to Normila, there was just no way to avoid that. 

"I mean, I can't blame them. We do make a pretty hot couple together," Normani said nonchalantly as she took a sip of her coffee. 

Camila looked at her best friend and just chuckled. "Well, if you wanna shoot your shot now, it's kinda too late," she joked.

Normani girl held up her finger and waved it in a 'no' motion. "If I remember correctly, you were the one who had a crush on me first. So it should be you that wants to shoot your shot, not me."

Camila just flipped her off with a smile before bringing her cup to her lips, trying to cover the fact that that just made her blush. 

That's the funny thing about their friendship, they met through some mutual musicians friends, the brunette immediately grew a major crush on her and... let's say Normani was the first person that made her question her sexuality for quite a bit. And lucky for her, the attraction got reciprocated because turns out the dark-skinned girl thought she was kinda cute too, and then her personality was able to charm the girl into actually crushing on her.
