Writing On The Wall - Text Fic (Camren)

August 13

Dinah: Did you talk to Camila?

Lauren: I overreacted 

Dinah: Overreacted how?

Lauren: Those weren't her anti-depressants in the garbage.. They were the sleeping pills she hasn't taken since coming home from the hospital

Dinah: Why didn't she just flush them?

Lauren: She didn't want them to end up in the ocean and put all the fish to sleep because she was afraid that if the fish fell asleep the sharks would eat them.. 

Dinah: ........

Lauren: She's so adorable

Dinah: ........

Lauren: She's still taking her meds, Dinah.. I just overreacted the second I saw pills being thrown out.. Camz is okay

Dinah: But you said her sleeping was all messed up

Lauren: A combination of her stressing herself out about her first year of University and the multiple bags of sour patch kids candy she's been eating before bed..

Dinah: Hahaha, oh my God

Lauren: I need to not worry so much

Dinah: No, no.. It's good that you worry, it means you care and that you're looking out for her.. Anyone in your position would have reacted the same way.. I know I would have

Lauren: Thanks, you're the best

Dinah: Obviously

Lauren: Grocery shopping in an hour?

Dinah: Yup! That gives me just enough time to wait for Mani to get out of the shower and to give her the promise ring I bought her

Lauren: YOU'RE GIVING IT TO HER TODAY!?

Dinah: I am, I am!

Lauren: Aww, good luck!!!

Dinah: Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes

Lauren: Muah muah muah

Dinah: Kiss kiss kiss

"Hey Babe," Normani greeted, walking back into hers and Dinah's bedroom, a fluffy pink towel wrapped around her body. "Who ya textin'?"

Dinah placed her phone on the bedside table and looked up at Normani with a smile. "Just Lauren, we're gonna go grocery shopping in a little while," Dinah said as she pushed herself off the bed. "Hey Mani, come here for a second," watching Normani cross the bedroom, Dinah reached for her hand as soon as she was closest enough to do so. 

"You're kind of acting weird," Normani laughed out, eyebrows raised just slightly and a small smile on her face. "You okay?"

Dinah's hands were sweaty and she knew she looked nervous, she could see herself in the reflection of the mirror that Normani had hung on the back of their bedroom door. Taking a deep breath, Dinah dropped Normani's hand and took a step back, her left hand fumbling in the pocket of her sweater. "I, okay, so, well," Dinah started. "So there's this thing I wanted, well okay, so I-"

"DJ, honey," Normani gently coaxed. "It's just me, why are you so nervous?"

Dinah let out a small laugh and looked at Normani with a happy sigh, "I'm being ridiculous."
