Tuesday Dinah's POV

I wake up first surprisingly because out of the both of us I'm the sleeper in this relationship. It must have been the alcohol Manz had last night knocking her out. I head over to the bathroom to shower really quickly because I want to be done before Hurricane Mani takes over the room. Just as I get out the shower I see my phone light up on the nightstand. I quickly put on the hotel's complimentary robe before answering it.

Assistant cousin: Jilly and I got breakfast you 2 have an hour before we come up

BossLady: you're lucky I'm up already but cool hope you got something good

Assistant cousin: hope you like room service then

BossLady: as long as there are waffles or french toast I don't care

Assistant cousin: you got it boss

Looking over at the bed I know I'm gonna have to wake up Normani all by myself and that is not an easy task. And fans think I'm the heavy sleeper between the both of us. I put some underwear on before I do this because her eyes will go straight to my chest when she wakes up. I bring myself eye level with her and start shaking her to try to wake her.

"Baby."

"Hnnmhhmm."

"Baby you have wake up."

"Mmmmm why?"

"Because Jilly and Masi are coming here with food so you need to at least be awake."

"Food?"

"Yes food, waffles even. Come on at least go brush your teeth."

"But this bed so comfortable."

"I know I almost didn't want to get up either."

"Please tell me that when I open my eyes you are dripping wet and naked because you just got out the shower."

"Why don't you open your eyes and find out?"

"Ugh that means no but fine. I better get a kiss tho."

She opens her eyes and I smile so that's the first thing she sees. She looks down and sees I'm partially dressed and pouts.

"Are you really that disappointed that I'm not naked right now?"

"I mean a little bit, yeah."

"Come here you big baby."

I lean down and meet her halfway giving her the kiss she wanted. When I pull back she's smiling back at me before she pouts again.

"You really couldn't wake me up naked?"

"Sorry if we had the time I would have but at least you got to see some sexy underwear before I got dressed."

"I don't like you very much right now."

"You will later tho, now come on go brush your teeth while I get dressed."

"Okay fine at least least stay like that until I come back."

"You mean undressed?"

"Yes I do."

I laugh before she walks out of the room. I put the robe back on just in case we get a visitor and start finding something to wear. I settle on a simple outfit because as far as I know I'm not doing much today besides a few interviews and possibly going to the label to talk about my next album. Masi has my full schedule and we're going to be discussing it over breakfast. I rummage through my bag for the exact outfit I have in mind for today and when I find it I lay it on the bed before I grab the hotel ironing board and iron. Mani comes out of the bathroom in a towel and walks over to her bag to finds clothes. I realize that when she went into the bathroom she didn't touch her stuff so she didn't have her body wash or anything like that. Which means she used my body wash......again.

"You know you should really ask when you use other people's things."

"Revenge for not waking up to you topless."

"I am topless."

"Bra-less. You know what I mean you goof."

I stick my tongue out before I finish ironing. I start to put it away but stop because Mani might need to use the ironing board after me.

"Have you done your hair yet babe?"

"No could you grab in the curler it's in your bag. "Do you need to iron anything before I unplug this?"

"I'll let you know when I find something to wear. And here."

I take the curler and plug it in. While waiting for it to heat up I get dressed in a simple black top and high-waisted jeans. Putting the rest of my things away I grab my speaker and turn it on so we can listen to music.

"Want me to do your make up?"

I look over and see she has finally found something to wear and is at the ironing board.

"No I'll ask Jilly to do it. Can you do my hair tho?"

"Sure. Just the back or all of it?"

"I'll start it you can just finish it. That way you have time to get dressed."

She goes back to her clothes while I start on the Lion's Mane. The fans have nicknamed me Mufasa because of my love for the Lion King, and my bed head the Lion's Mane because of how wild it is. We continue what we're doing until there's a knock on the door. Figuring that it's either room service or Masi and Jilly I get up to answer the door. I see Masi on the other side with Jilly behind him so I don't even speak to him as they walks in the room.

"Wow we don't even get a good morning?"

"Good morning Jilly."

"Good morning Dinah."

"Wow real mature cuz."

"I'm cranky. I haven't had any food to eat yet."

"Food is on the way so calm down. For now do you two need help with anything?"

"Yes Jilly can you do my make up for me?"

"Sure Dinah."

In the twenty minutes it takes her to do my makeup there's a knock at the door. Masi let's the room service person in and gives him a tip before leaving the table.

"Okay we got waffles for Normani, pancakes for Jilly, french toast for Dinah, and an omelet for myself."

After we eat we get into our schedules for the day. It's always easier for me pay attention after I've eaten something.

"Okay Dinah you have a meeting with the label and a shoot for seventeen magazine today."

"Straight from here to the label?"

"That's right. Oh and we both got emails from the breakfast club for a joint interview sometime this week."

"When did you get those emails because they email a week in advance."

"Your managers already confirmed the interview. The one sent this week is just for the time and smaller details."

"Okay."

"Normani you have an interview at Bway radio then you have a few shoots yourself."

"What am I doing first?"

"Radio then the shoots."

"Will I have time to shop? I need an outfit for LSB."

"Not much but you will have time tomorrow to really shop."

"Don't worry babe I'll try to find you something."

"You better but knowing you it would be something skin tight and see-through."

"You like skin tight and see-through clothes!"

"Not for TV appearances. I have to compete with Chrissy I have to look good "

"Why do you have to compete with Chrissy?"

"Because we were talking on twitter and I made a comment that I was gonna dress better than her and she took my joke and ran with it."

"Well do what she can't do right now. Have your stomach out."

"You just want to see my abs."

"Not like I have to try that hard. You're literally always wearing crop tops or no shirt at all."

"Keep talking and you'll never see my abs again."

Jilly and Masi laugh at how quickly I shut up and once Jilly is done with both Mani's and my makeup they both leave to get ready themselves. I'm standing in front of the mirror trying to decide on what jacket I should wear.

"Babe help me."

"Let me see?"

I turn to her showing the two leather jackets in my hands. She looks at both of them closely before she says anything leaving me stressed during the silence.

"Go with the burgundy one. You're already wearing black, the pop of color will make the outfit better. Are you wearing a hat too?"

"Yeah the black leather one on the dresser."

She goes to grab the hat for me while I fix the jacket. I take the hat from her when she comes back and put it on to see how the whole outfit looks together.

"Perfect. I just need my boots and I'll be good to go!"

"Great now move so I can use the mirror."

I move and sit back on the bed and watch her put the final touches on her outfit. Unlike myself she doesn't need any help with her look at all. So I sit quietly as she looks over herself in the mirror.

"Are you just gonna stare at my ass or are you going to compliment my outfit?"

"You didn't compliment my outfit and I'm not staring at your ass. It just happens to be right in front of my face."

"DJ."

"Fine I was staring at your ass. But you already know that so why am I even talking about this with you?"

"You want to get slapped don't you?"

"No but you are turning into your mother more and more each day. I swore she said that to you last time we visited her."

"Dinah Jane I swear to god don't make me hurt you."

I laugh loudly before grabbing her hand and trying to pull her towards my spot on the bed.

"Come here!"

She gives in to my pulling and lands on my lap. I wrap my arms around her quickly so she can't get away before I speak.

"Look in the mirror. Tell me what you see."

"Myself being held by force on your lap. What is the point of this?"

"Do you want to know what I see in the mirror?"

She rolls her eyes before playing along with me and answering me.

"What do you see in the mirror Dinah?"

"I see a beautiful woman wearing an incredible dress. You look beautiful. You always do. I don't have to look at you to know that. Okay?"

"Why did I fall for a songwriter? You talk your way out of everything! I can never stay mad at you."

"Now you really know how Chrissy Teigen feels every day."

"Are you trying to say that you're John Legend?"

"Well I do have a Grammy for songwriting."

"I was nominated for one too! I'm not just pretty face and personality!"

"Yeah but at least Chrissy can cook. What are you even bringing to the table here?"

"Okay you know what that's it!"

She pushes me down on the bed and tickles me. We roll around for a bit before there's a knock on the door.

"You have to get off of me now so we can go to work."

"Why can't we work from home today?"

"Because photo shoots work best in studios, unless you're Beyoncé."

"We just got reunited and we can't even enjoy it."

"How about this after this we go somewhere secluded and just be alone. Like that rich people island Robin Leach owns?"

"Somewhere with shitty phone reception so no one can call or reach us? I love that idea."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"We have to get up eventually we have stuff to do."

"But you're so comfortable to lay on."

"You still need to put on shoes babe."

"Ugh fine voice of reason let's get ready to go."

She gets up, helping me up too, before she finishes getting ready. I fix my hair and clothes a bit before finally opening the door for our assistants.

"Do I want to know why it took you fifteen minutes to answer the door?"

"You know Masi I'm feeling a lot of judgment coming from your general direction. You need to fix that before we leave. You can come in tho Jilly."

Jilly pushes past Masi and walks in the room leaving him in the hall for a moment before coming in too. Normani is putting the finishing touches of her outfit together on the other side of the room and I'm packing up my stuff getting ready to leave. Jilly packs Mani's bag for her and Masi is on his phone, hopefully checking on our cars. Normani is finally done getting dressed and is looking in the mirror at herself.

I told her earlier that she looks beautiful but now I feel the need to say it again.

"You look incredible babe."

"Thank you. Ready to head down?"

"Yup let's go."

We head out together all the way to the lobby where I see a few paps and some of our fans. Past them are our separate cars on the other side of the street. I slow down my walk to a stop stopping everyone else too.

"You two can go ahead. I need to say a proper goodbye."

"Oh come on seriously?"

"Thomas don't make me use your government name again. I said wait by the door for me."

"Ugh why do I need this job so badly? I'm sure someone anyone else is hiring right now."

Masi walks away mumbling to himself about searching for a new job. Jilly, who is already on the other side of the lobby waiting for Normani, is laughing at Masi from where she is standing. I turn back to Normani to see her shaking her head at me with a smile on her face.

"What?"

"You know you owe him a raise right?"

"Yeah but if he keeps complaining he won't get it until Christmas."

"Just go easy on him today, okay?"

"No promises. Can I have a hug before I go?"

"Come here you big baby."

I open my arms and we hug, she even kisses me before pulling back.

"Be good today."

"You too. I want to see all the outfits from each shoot too!"

"We better go the swarm is getting bigger."

"They saw us kissing that's quality content right there!"

"Come on dork."

We walk out the hotel, waving to the fans that are camped out there, and make our way to the cars. Masi makes sure Mani is in her car then gets in ours. She drives off first then our driver follows until we're going in our own direction. After we get to the label we talk about details for my new album. I let my lawyer and management team handle most of the talking only speaking when I need to during the meeting and we're out the door before I know it. While we're on the way to my photo shoot I turn to the radio station that Normani is gonna be on so I can listen to her interview on the way to the studio. We get to the studio just as her interview ends which is great timing I think and head inside. While I'm getting ready Masi runs off to find the snacks because he can't really do much else for me when I have photo shoots besides get me things. I hand him my phone and he instantly understands to open my snapchat and basically get behind the scenes footage throughout the day. My shoot goes smoothly and we leave really quickly. Not feeling like going back to the hotel I decide to head over to Lauren and Ally's for a bit before I go shopping in the city. They both should be home around this time maybe I can even get some free food. I get to their place quickly and of course Lauren is there and she let me in. We have lunch during which I get a text from Jilly

Jillssistant: attached image

Jillssistant: from the first shoot

BossLady's Bae: keep em coming

Jillssistant : on the way to the next shoot now will check in later

"You okay D?"

"Yeah Jilly just sent me a picture of Mani from her shoot and it shook me for a moment. That's all."

"That good?"

"See for yourself Lauren. What is your professional opinion?"

I hand my phone to her so she can see the picture I just saw. She is just stares at my phone when she gets it. There is an entire minute of silence before she speaks again.

"You were right to be shook she looks good I wonder what the second shoot is gonna be?"

"I don't know anything about either one of them I'm just now getting sneak peeks from Jilly."

"Tragic."

"I know. Hey you mind if I hang here for a bit? I don't feel like going back to an empty hotel room."

"Of course I was just about to ask if you could help me with a song idea I had."

"To the piano then!"

Normani's POV

"And that is a wrap on Normani ladies and gentlemen!"

Light applause starts and I smile before walking towards my dressing room to get changed. Jilly falls into step with me without a word handing me a bottle of water as we walk.

"I talked to the editor and asked him send the proofs and outtakes to you because we need to update your instagram and website with them."

"Okay good did you ask the editor of the last shoot as well?"

"Yes I did."

"Good. Do you think I should do something with my hair or leave it like this?"

"I say leave it. It probably won't deflate until a few hours anyway."

"You're probably right let me get dressed and we'll go."

Getting dressed I look in the mirror and Jilly is right my hair is not gonna deflate anytime soon. At least it looks good and not messy. Stepping out the bathroom I grab my phone off the counter and open snapchat to take a picture of my hair.

"Ready Jilly?"

"Yep but we're not going back to the hotel."

"Let me guess Dinah didn't want to go back to the hotel so she went to Lauren's place."

"According to her snapchat you would be correct she is at Lauren's place."

"Let's go there then."

We're stopping to get food right?"

"Of course, I'm starving!"

"Okay we'll stop to get something on the way. You ready to go?"

"Yeah. You have my bag right?"

"Yes I do now let's go see your lady."

I laugh as we walk out together before heading towards the car. We tell the driver the directions and we get there before we know it. I love Lauren and Ally's apartment it's a perfect mix of both of them classic and edgy. It's like one of those interior design Tumblr posts come to life. Jilly has the driver drop me off before going to get food for everyone. I find my girlfriend and Lauren sitting around a piano with a bunch of songwriting paper around them.

"What are you two doing?"

"Songwriting clearly."

"Then why is Lauren laying on the piano?"

"Because I started out just sitting up here then I felt the vibration the strings makes when they're played. So now it's a free back massage."

"Lauren you're a model just pay for a massage."

"That would require leaving my house."

"That's so lazy oh my god."

"Want to hear something else really stupid?"

"I live with that one. Try me?"

"Hey rude!"

"So my manager got a call from Taylor Swift asking me to be in her new music video."

"What Taylor Swift knows other women exist outside of her squad of skinny white models?"

"She has Serayah and Gigi Hadid so that's two women of color at least."

"Did you get back to him about it?"

"I said I would do it because it's Taylor Swift I'm going to get at least a VMA for being featured."

"I wonder if it's the same video Zendaya is doing with her? That way you have a shit-talking buddy."

"Ooh you're right I'll have to ask her tomorrow when she gets back."

"Have you heard from her or Tori at all today?"

"Other than to say she got there safely no not really."

"Not even anything on snapchat?"

"No but I have been watching Tori and Kamari's snapchats like every hour."

"I hope Z gets to really surprise her like she wants to."

"Yeah me too."

"Lauren is Ally at rehearsal right now?"

"Yeah she has the Broadway at the white house thing tomorrow so everyone is rehearsing."

"Are you going with her to DC?"

"That's the plan. I was supposed to stay home today and pack for the trip."

"I better see all the photos you take as soon as you get back on Friday."

"Of course and the company hired me to take the official photos for their website."

"Isn't that a form of nepotism?"

"Never mind her that's great Lauren."

"Yeah it is nepotism Dinah but I don't care I'm getting paid to take pictures of my girlfriend in the white house!"

"Actually I wasn't trying to make a joke I genuinely wanted the definition of nepotism."

"Shut up fool I know when you're joking or not."

"I don't like it when you hang around Lauren you get mean."

"That's cause Laurmani is real babe."

"Why do you only like light skin women Mani?"

"Because they compliment my skin tone so well."

"That doesn't make any sense!"

"Then don't ask questions that don't make sense!"

"How's this for a question that makes sense. When is Jilly getting here with our food?"

"Let me go find out. Stay here."

Dinah's POV

As Normani leaves the room to make a phone call I look back at Lauren who is staring at the ceiling.

"Hey lo can I ask you something?"

"Sure DJ what's up?"

"Have you ever thought about proposing to Ally?"

"What makes you bring that up?"

"Well you and Ally have been together the longest I wanted to know if you ever thought about proposing." Because it's all I've been thinking about lately.

"Yeah I have actually. It was our one year anniversary and I was walking past a jewelry store and I had this strong urge to go in and buy her the best ring I could find."

"What did you end up doing?"

"I kept walking because I realized while I love Ally and want to marry her one day I wasn't ready for marriage at that point in my life. Hell we weren't even living on the same side of the country at that time."

I sit silently taking in what Lauren has to say really listening and processing the information she just gave me.

"You've been thinking about it haven't you?"

"I don't ever want to be without her Lauren."

"That doesn't mean you have to get married. Just be with her the time will come. If the time is now then you'll know what to do."

"Thanks Lauren. Want to go mess with Mani while she's on the phone?"

"If she's even still on the phone."

"Oh shut up and come on."

I help her off the piano and carry her into the kitchen where Normani is hanging up her phone before turning to us.

"Aww you just hung up we wanted to talk to Jilly too!"

"Why are you giving Lauren a piggyback ride?"

"Because she asked and I wanted to. *shrugs*"

"Anyway I hope you're okay with Thai food for dinner. Jilly is at the restaurant right now. She'll be back in about half an hour."

"As long as I get my noodles I don't care."

"Don't worry I made sure she got you your precious noodles."

"Okay good."

"So what do we do while we wait?"

"Lauren go get my phone."

"Why?"

"Snapchat is gonna get a show."

*about 2 hours later*

Ally's POV

God rehearsal took forever tonight I just have a nice long bath with a glass of wine right now. I open my apartment door to something that happens way too often to be a surprise. Lauren, Dinah, and Normani are all cuddled up on the couch. They all look like they're completely oblivious to my coming home so I get my phone out to take a photo of them.

While I take the photo I almost drop my purse making too much noise. They look in my direction quickly like they have whiplash before they notice it's me. Lauren gets up and comes over to me to greet me like the great girlfriend she is.

"Hey love how was rehearsal?"

"Long. Please tell me I don't have to cook anything."

"They're's Thai food in the kitchen. We'll pause the movie while you get a plate okay?"

"This movie only has like five minutes left so why don't we finish it and you can pick the next one Al."

"Sounds perfect. I'll be right back."

When I get back Lauren has moved to the other couch and has put a chair right next to it. I sit down in the chair, take my heels off, and put my feet up. Lauren starts giving me a foot massage and I smile at how well she knows me. God I love this girl. After the movie is over I notice that Normani is snoring and Dinah is almost asleep as well.

"We have a spare room it looks like you two need it."

"Thanks biggie. Now to just get her in there."

"I'll help hold on."

Together Dinah and Lauren carry Normani to the spare room and put her to bed. When they come back I've moved to the kitchen and started to put the food away.

"Thanks for letting us stay tonight Ally. I did not feel like calling for a car or talking to Masi to ask him to get us a car."

"Of course Dinah you're always welcome here. That's why we have the second room, for visitors."

"When do you leave tomorrow?"

"Around noon. We leave and Tori and Zendaya come back the same day."

"Well I better go join my girl because we'll have to get up early too."

"Night DJ."

"Night."
