Wake up! Wake up!
An alligator alarm clock starts to make noise as the clock hits 7 am. A girl groaned from under her covers.
"Shut up.."
Wake up! Wake up!
The clock began to get louder and louder.
"Aargh!" the girl shouted in frustration.
Wake up you lazy bum!
"That's it!"
Zooey kicked the alligator down with her feet causing the poor clock to shatters into pieces. It's her third clock that month.
"Better." Zooey mumbled as she resumes her sleep. Just as she began her journey into slumber land, her phone rang.
Annoyed, Zooey picks up the phone.
"Who is this?! Dare you mess with me while I'm sleeping!"
"Yah, wake up Zooey!" the voice shouted.
Zooey was startled and quickly sit straight up on her bed.
"Marley.."
"You don't forget about our meeting at the library, right?"
Meeting? Library?
"Of course..hahahaha.."
"It's at 8 am."
"I'm already on my way there as we speak, Mar!"
"Oh really?"
"I'll be there soon!"
"You better be."
"Love you."
Marley already hangs up the phone. Zooey sighed and looked at the dead alligator on the floor. Surprisingly, the clock is still working.
Zooey eyes went wide as she looked at the clock.
It's already 7:30 am.
She quickly took her towel and rushed towards the bathroom.
Zooey is in a great rush, she didn't even bother knocking the bathroom door. The door was unlocked so she immediately assumes that it's empty.
How wrong she was.
How she wished she did knock.
"Ahhhh..Lolo.."
Zooey was so shocked, her mind wasn't able to function well. After a few seconds watching, she finally screamed.
"NOT AGAIN!!!!" she ran away as fast as she could.
Lauren stopped 'whatever she was doing' causing Camila to whine for more.
"I thought I heard someone.."
"Screw that..honey, don't stop.."
They finished their 'business' before continuing for another round in the bedroom.
It's just another day.
**
Marley is walking back and forth in front of the library. She glanced at her watch, it's almost 8 and Zooey still hasn't arrived.
"Am I late?" Marley was a bit startled by the sudden appearance from behind. She turned around to find her girlfriend/best friend panting.
"No, you're not." Marley said, quickly held her girlfriend's hands. She leaned forward for a quick morning kiss but Zooey suddenly put a hand on her mouth.
Marley raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong? No one's here."
"I didn't brush my teeth yet.."
Marley stared at Zooey. "Let me guess, they were doing it in bathroom again."
Zooey sighed and nodded.
"You saw?"
"Much more detailed this time.."
Marley gasped.
"Please talk about something else..I want to forget what I saw.."
"Poor thing." Marley slowly patted Zooey's head.
"Maybe you should move out from there."
Zooey nodded.
"Yeah, maybe I should."
**
Lauren and Vanessa are having lunch in their company's cafeteria. Lauren is zoning out almost the whole time and Vanessa finally realized that she's been talking to herself.
Vanessa sighed loudly.
Lauren stared at her friend, surprised.
"Why are you sighing?"
"You. Anything bothering you, Lauren?"
A few seconds passes.
"No."
Vanessa chuckled.
"Ah..then you must be horny for Mila right now."
"Wh..what are you talking about?!" Lauren shouted, her face red.
Vanessa laughed. "It must be true."
"Well..partly." Lauren smiled.
Vanessa rolled her eyes.
"But the thing is.." she said, serious.
Vanessa stared at her, curious.
"She still hasn't given me an answer."
"Answer? Oh, about moving in together?"
Lauren nodded, she looks worried.
"Relax, there's nothing you should be worry about. One thing you should know about Camila, she has a little problem with commitment."
"It's not like I'm asking her to marry me." Lauren said.
"Moving in together is a huge step in a relationship; give her some time to think."
Lauren sighed.
"I feel sorry for Zooey , having to walk into us.."
Vanessa laughed. "Poor kid."
Silence fell between them.
"I know!" Vanessa suddenly shouted.
"What?"
"Pink house!"
Lauren stared at Camila, confused.
"She can never resist a pink house!"
**
"Welcome!"
"Normani!" Camila hugged her little friend tightly.
Camila looked around the new cafe she entered.
"This place is awesome!" she said.
"Thanks!" Normani replied.
"I'm glad you finally reached your dream of owning your own cafe." Camila said as she held Normani's hand.
"I can't believe it either."
They walked towards the counter, still holding hands.
"What are you doing now?" Normani asked.
Camila sighed. "Nothing. I'm jobless."
They both laughed.
"Lauren didn't let me work. She's spoiling me too much." Camila said.
"How lucky." Normani nudged her friend.
Camila shrugged.
"Mila, can you come to my house tonight? Bring Lauren with you."
Camila looked at her friend, curious.
"Anything special?"
Normani grinned. "Just come to this address."
She handed Camila a piece of paper with an address on it.
"You moved? I didn't know!"
Normani chuckled.
"Can you invite Zooey and Marley as well? Also Vanessa and Ally."
"Something is fishy here.."
Normani laughed.
"Come tonight to find out."
**
"Lolo, we're late!" Camila said as she's trying to push Lauren away from her face.
"Awww..just one kiss."
"One simple kiss leads to one hour with you on the bed, so no." Camila said firmly.
Lauren pouted.
"I said no! Normani is waiting for us now." Camila said as she walked to grab her purse on the bed.
"I don't want to be late every time.." Camila paused as a hand suddenly slid on her waist and another on her thigh.
Lauren's hand traveled around, touching her girlfriend's sensitive places causing Camila to let out a soft moan.
Damn it.
We're going to be late again.
**
"You're late!"
"We're really sorry, Mani!" Camila bowed, dragging Lauren along with her.
"Get used to it, Mani." Zooey said, bitter. She and Marley already arrived an hour ago.
Vanessa is stuffing herself with food without knowing what the occasion for.
Troy shook his head. "Are you always this hungry?"
Vanessa glared at him, causing him to take a step backward.
"Do you want me to pour this juice on your perfect hair?"
Troy gulped and ran to Ally on the couch.
"What kind of guy is that? He's just like a girl, and that would make Ally a lesbian too."
"Everyone is gay except me." Vanessa mumbled to herself.
"Has everyone arrived?" Normani asked as she looked around the living room.
Normani walked to the center of the room.
"Okay then."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Do you have something to tell us?" ask Camila, curious.
Normani smiled.
"Everyone, I..
Everyone waits patiently for her to continue.
..I'm married."
There were various reactions from the guests.
Zooey and Marley gasped. Camila had her jaw hanging out of shock. Lauren finally woke up from her little nap. And Vanessa still munching her food.
"Congratulations!" Ally was the first to hug Normani. Then the others came to hug her too.
"When? With whom?" Camila asked her questions in a breath.
"One question at a time, Cammy." Zooey said.
Normani smiled even wider.
"Last week."
"With?" Ask Vanessa, her mouth full.
"Me." a voice came from upstairs.
Dinah Jane smiled as she walked down the stairs straight towards Normani.
"Cheechee!" Camila was excited.
Dinah reached her wife and kissed her lips lightly.
"Wow, you two are very serious!" Vanessa shouted.
They stared at her.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing..congrats."
"I thought Lauren and Camila will get married first, after all the obstacles." Troy suddenly said.
Everyone stared at Lauren and Camila who seems very uncomfortable.
Tension fills the air.
"We're..still too young for that.." Camila said, awkward.
Lauren quickly held her hand.
"But we're moving in together." she said.
Camila stared at her girlfriend, shocked.
When did I ever agree to that?!
"Really?!" asked Zooey, she seems VERY happy.
"Congratulations!" Marley hugged Camila.
"Finally Z is free." she said.
Camila smile slowly fades.
She never agrees to this. Lauren is making her own decision. Camila slowly pulled her hand away from her girlfriend and walked to the door. Lauren turned around as she realized that the warmth on her palms is no longer there.
She saw Camila exited through the door.
She sighed.
This is not going to be easy.
