Yes

"Lauren! Stop being a loser!" Dinah yelled from the kitchen, "Come help me."

Lauren rolled her eyes, sighing as she got up from the sofa, book still in hand, "Seriously, I only have like 20 pages left to read. You have the worst timing." She got up and wandered through to the kitchen, deciding to be nice and see what her friend needed help with.

As she strolled through the door, her eyes widened. It was chaos. Flour was coating practically every surface and ingredients were scattered haphazardly across the counter.

"So... I sort of messed up," Dinah said while giving her sweetest smile, hoping her housemate would see the funny side and help her out.

Lauren smirked, "You don't say."

"I just want to get this right... It's Mani's birthday and I can't let her down. This cake has to be perfect! I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm totally messing it all up," Dinah sighed, running a hand through her hair and, in the process, adding yet another streak of flour into it.

"Hey, stop stressing!" Lauren smiled warmly, putting an arm around her friend, "Look... Mani will love whatever hideous cake you create. Want to know why?"

Dinah nodded and gave a small smile.

"Because it's you. Dinah, that girl is so crazy about you. You could show up with the world's worst cake, burnt to hell and she would think it was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for her." Lauren playfully pushed her friend, "Now, get your act together."

"Okay, okay!" Dinah grinned, "Thanks for the ego boost."

"You don't normally need it... Need to take a selfie to make yourself feel better?" Lauren suggested, grabbing a handful of flour and smearing it on Dinah's face, "There. Now, you're looking perfect."

"Screw you, Jauregui." Dinah yelled, throwing a fistful of flour at Lauren, who attempted to dodge her way around the kitchen and out of Dinah's aim, "You know what? I am going to take a selfie! I still look hot." Dinah grabbed her phone and proceeded to take at least 10 selfies, "What are you reading anyway, nerd?"

Lauren laughed, "It's called 'Yes Man'. It's by Danny Wallace."

"That's a movie, right? With that person from New Girl?" Dinah said as she scrolled through her phone and looked at the cake recipe again.

Lauren nodded, "The book is way better though."

"Doesn't that guy decide he's going to say yes to everything? Like, no matter what?" Dinah asked, grabbing an egg and attempting to crack it with one hand. After about a quarter of the shell joined the rest of the cake ingredients, Dinah looked at Lauren for assistance, "Added crunch?"

"Move it, Hansen." Lauren said, fishing the pieces of shell out easily, "And yeah, that's basically what the book is about. He's gone through a break up and he's sort of stuck in a rut. Anyway, he decides he's going to start saying yes to everything. If he gets asked a question that needs a yes or no answer then he has to say yes. So, if someone invites him for a night out or a girl asks for his number, he has to agree. It's a real story too and he did it for a whole year."

"That's dumb," Dinah snorted, "Imagine how much of a pain in the ass that would be." She grabbed the spoon and began mixing the dubious looking mixture in the bowl. After stirring for a few seconds, she dropped the spoon dramatically, looking at Lauren with excitement.

"Oh god. I don't think this is going to be good," Lauren said with uncertainty, knowing all too well that the look currently occupying her friend's face was one that usually led to terrible ideas.

"You should do it!"

"Do it?" Lauren raised an eyebrow in confusion, smirking. "Dinah, if you mean sex, I hate to break it to you but I've already done it with Lucy, remember?" She laughed.
