More Than I Expected.

Chapter 12

NOT PROOFREAD

It's been a few weeks since the trip to the Hamptons. That weekend went smoothly that I think my best friends and lovers actually might've hit it off really well. I found Dinah and Camila both laughing to tears as they sat around Dinah's bed room as they shared some old school day memories. Dinah completely throwing me under the bus by telling Camila how in middle school I thought I could be cooler by riding a skateboard, but ended up falling so fast that I hit my butt hard. Too hard. I cried for ten minutes as Dinah tried to drag me back home to make me sit on a bucket of ice. She'd told the petite Latina she'd show her the picture she took whenever she'd visit the apartment.

I felt my face flush as Camila's jaw dropped before she turned to me, quickly asking if she could come to our apartment. I just stumbled on my words while Dinah waved me off saying Camila was more than welcome. Along with Lauren too of course. They knew our land line number, so they could call to make sure we were home.

Camila seemed over the moon about the invitation before sharing one of her embarrassing stories about how her and Lauren were vacationing in in North California, they'd gone cliff diving at some beach, but Camila may have positioned herself wrong and the impact left her sobbing about her butt too. Dinah laughed more about it than me as I sat by her and told her I'm thankful her ass ended up being okay. With a playful shove from Camila and a gag from Dinah I was kicked out of their conversation to make my way back to the living room to see Normani, Lauren, and Ally in a deep conversation about the state of R&B music. Sitting down next to Lauren I just watched and admired her adorable giggles as she seemed very happy to be speaking about anything other than her work with people her age.

Close to her age?

Fuck. I should've asked Ally what year she graduated college. That could've helped.

The whole time too I didn't feel weird about how comfortable we all were with us being affectionate with each other. Lauren and Camila held on to me without a care in the world for who was looking. I was surprised Ally, Dinah, and Normani were so cool with it too. My friends teased me about it a little about how Camila and I tease each other while Lauren leaves me a blubbering mess, but in a way that told me they were glad to see me happy with them. Ally may have let it slip after one too many glasses of wines how curious she was about our bed room dynamics. Dinah and Normani choked on their food while I almost shot up from my seat in the middle of the married couple. Lauren blushed saying maybe the dinner table wasn't the best place while Camila happily said everyone gets taken care of in the bedroom. Leaving Lauren and I stunted looking over the adorable woman smiling innocently after what she said.

What we were felt almost...normal that weekend.

Now once again I luckily had a weekend off, so I was lounging around in the apartment playing the old Dreamcast hooked up to the bulky TV in the living room. It was barely ten in the morning as Dinah left three hours ago saying herself and another girl at the shop got booked to prep a whole gag of women for some fancy wedding. I'd asked her if she needed help carrying her stuff around, but she quickly shot me down saying they had everything they needed in some go bags. Normani was off doing some shoot in Paris after getting booked for some fancy designer line. That was almost three days ago, Dinah and I hyped her up excitedly as we helped her pack for her trip. Saying how she's on her way to walking the catwalk for up coming fashion weeks. Normani was very humble and said she was just lucky, but Dinah and I quickly shot that down saying she was obviously the hottest one to pick from.

While I was lied out on my couch with a huge bottle of soda on the coffee table playing fucking Sonic.

I should be writing.
