Camila's P.O.V.
"Y/N, where are you!" I called out as I left the bathroom. I took advantage of her rainfall shower head for about a half hour. When I got out I checked my phone and found some messages in the old Fifth Harmony group chat that we still use from time to time. I heard a faint reply and followed the sound to find her in the studio. "Hey, so the girls want to throw a girl's night since we're all in LA. Do you mind if I go?"
"So let me get this straight," Y/N started, resting her arms on the guitar that was in her lap. "First, you use up all my hot water, and now you want to leave me here all alone?" She asked, fighting off a smile as she gave me her best puppy dog eyes.
"Yes?" I answered cautiously. "I don't have to go though." I told her, worried that she may actually want me to stay.
"I'm kidding." She laughed. "Go have fun. I'll be here writing songs." She winked at me.
"Ohh, whatcha writing?" I asked, plopping down on the loveseat that sat against the wall. Y/N pretended to zip her lips and lock them. "Fine, at least give me the name?" I asked.
Y/N sighed before giving in and looking down at her notebook. "Black And White." She answered after a few moments. "I didn't have a title before but, that works I guess." She grabbed her pen, jotting down the new title.
"See, I'm helping." I told her with a smile. "I'll be back tomorrow. Don't write too many songs for me." I winked, kissing her lips before I left the room.

"It's so nice to all be together again." Ally smiled, looking at the five of us finally together.
"For real. I missed this." Normani jutted our her bottom lip. "Wait, before I forget, Camila," Normani pointed at me. "Y/N, is this actually a thing or..." She asked.
Of course no one was supposed to know about PR relationships besides immediate family, our teams, and the people involved. But, since the girls knew about Lauren and I, they knew the other relationships were cover ups. Thus, explaining Normani's question. "Well...it started with a contract, yes. But now...who knows." I shrugged, looking down at the table. I received a chorus of 'Ooos' from around the room, from everyone except Lauren. "Guys stop..." I told them.
"Okay, subject change." Dinah spoke up, relieving me from being the center of attention. "I met this guy at a club a few nights ago. We hooked up and I cannot express just how good he was. I mean, seriously. I can't get it out of my head." She gushed.
"Ugh, lucky. I haven't had sex in way too long. I mean it's been months." Normani complained. "What about you three?" Normani asked me, Lauren, and Ally. Ally said it had been a few months as well, as Lauren and I looked at each other before answering the same.
"Two months." I said, taking the shot that Dinah poured.
"Two months and seven days." Lauren replied, looking down at her ring that she was spinning around her finger.
"Wait..." Ally looked between us skeptically. "Are you two..."
"No! No, uhm, it was like a last time thing. We're not together. Anymore." I answered, too quickly. Lauren just stayed quiet.
"You and Y/N haven't had sex yet?" Normani asked exasperated, I shook my head. "Seriously? Aren't you guys basically living together?"
"Yeah, but...I don't know. I mean we've had some heated make out sessions but one of us stops." I answered. "Or a third party interrupts." I eyed Dinah.
"Hey, don't be mad at me! You guys were the ones who stumbled in like a couple of horny teenagers." Dinah raised her hands up. I saw Lauren throw back her shot before downing Normani's as well.
"I'm gonna go get some wine." She announced before standing up and walking into the kitchen. Normani went to follow her but I beat her to it.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked, leaning on the kitchen island as Lauren was resting her elbows on the counter, her head in her hands.
"Yeah," She stood up, forcing a small smile. "I'm good." I gave her a look that made her sigh before opening up. "It's hard. To hear about you and Y/N. I don't know how to act around you now. I can't participate in conversations about the two of you without feeling weird. I don't know."
"Laur," I walked over to her, resting my hand on hers. "You'll always be my best friend. You know me on a level no one could understand. I'll always have love for you and I don't want you to be uncomfortable around me." I told her sincerely. Squeezing her hand, I walked over to the wine rack, grabbing a nice rosé. I spun around, jumping at Lauren who was now standing right behind me. "Jesus, Laur, you scared me—" Lauren leaned in, kissing me. I pushed her away as soon as I realized her lips were on mine. "What the fuck, Lauren!"
"I'm sorry, I just felt like...I don't know, it just felt right." She told me, backing away.
I slammed the bottle down. "It felt right? Lauren, you can't kiss me anymore. We're over! I thought you were mature enough to accept that and to respect what I have with Y/N, but apparently I was wrong." Dinah walked in as I finished, asking what had happened. "Ask Lauren." I stormed out of the kitchen and over to the front door where I put my shoes on and walked out.
"What happened in there?" Dinah asked as she followed me out.
"She kissed me, Dinah! She had the audacity to kiss me after everything that's happened! I told her we can be friends. I told her she'll always mean something to me but we were just friends! What about that screams 'come kiss me'?" I took a deep breath, clenching my fists at my sides. "Now I have to go home and tell Y/N that the person I said not to worry about kissed me. She's been so fucking understanding. I mean, shit, she let me come here to spend the night!"
"Hey, hey," Dinah, held my face, calming me down. "Breathe, Mila. It's gonna be okay. Y/N's gonna understand."
"How much more can she 'understand' before it's too much." I cried.
"Well, you're planning on going home and telling her right away. Instead of waiting till you're forced to tell her. That means something." I sniffled, processing what Dinah was telling me. "Did you kiss her back?" She asked.
"No, I pushed her away as soon as I could." I answered. "It just felt so wrong to be kissing her."
"Camila, you do realize that two months ago you succumbed to her within seconds, right?" I nodded, realizing that she was indeed right. "You don't know how much that will mean to her, babe. You pushed away Lauren of all people."
"You're right." I gave her a watery smile. "I'm over her. I'm over Lauren."
"You're over Lauren." She repeated, smiling at me. "You did it." She pressed her forehead to mine. "Let's get you home."
