The next day after that, Lauren just sigh. It's weird to feel all of these. The Latina felt lonely once again after Camila left. It's not so new but she felt even lonelier. The feeling's familiar but not, at the same time. It scared Lauren. Earlier, before Camila and Sofia left, they insisted to give her her clothes since she told them that it's already dry but Lauren didn't let them because she can't tell them that she's lying and she hasn't washed their clothes yet. So the two left wearing Lauren's clothes. She can't help but to shook her head at her own self. She woke up way too early but didn't even bother to wash those dirty clothes. However, it still made her smile because she will have a chance to see them again. The Latina can feel both of them got closer since yesterday, she just doesn't know what Camila feels. Does she think of me as a friend as well?- asked Lauren inside her mind ignoring the other voice that said no

After doing the laundry, Lauren doesn't have anything to do once again. It's Saturday and she's usually doing everything she need and want to do, then she will rest at Sundays. But things' changed. It's Saturday in L.A. and her weekend habits are not about hanging out with her family or friends anymore. It's either rest or work. She doesn't feel any work though, she enjoys writing songs and painting, but the work is when you'll sell them, because she can't help but to think if people will even like them and if it's worth the price

Yawning in boredom, Lauren doesn't feel to occupy herself by drawing or writing because she's lonely. And she needs someone to hangout with, not something to do judt to forget that she's alone

Sighing once again, she reached out her hand to grab the card that is laying on her bedside table for weeks now, tracing the number written on it while the other one's handing her phone

It rang 2 times before she answered it

"Hello?" It asked. Her voice is really feminine and vibrant. It is indeed her. Lauren's eyes widen. Not expecting her to answer quickly and so she answered in an indecisive way

"Oh he- hi, I was looking for... Normani?"

"Speaking"

"I'm Lauren" She said and the girl on the other line squealed making Lauren pull the phone away from her ears for a second before putting it back

"I was waiting for you to call. Where's your address?" Normani said excitedly

"Wait- um... my house?" She asked and the other said yes so Lauren have nothing to do but to give her address and rush to ready herself. She took a warm and quick shower then wore her sweats, she partnered it with a comfortable white shirt. All simple but at least it's comfortable

Just as she was done combing her hair, her doorbell rang and she jumped in surprise clutching her chest as she went downstairs to lead Normani to her room. She gave her a little tour to her little apartment and they sat on her bed. They were eating a slice of pizza Normani had bought on her way to Lauren's place

"Your room's so cool" Normani said, eyes still looking around

"You think?" The black nodded

"It's unorganized but cool. What do you like more? Arts or Music?" Asked Normani referring to the things she has as she turned her look on Lauren who's eating as well

"Arts" she replied, ignoring the previous comment she said

"I see... you're so talented to it" she said while looking at her CDs on the shelves

"But you also love music that much huh?" She seconded, eyes travelling from her CDs and album of any singers to her mini studio which is her study table

"Yeah, I love making songs. Not confident with my voice though" Lauren said the last part almost inaudible but Normani looked at her in disbelief when she heard it
