"Lolo!" Camila hummed happily once Lauren walked into the kitchen. She shuffled over to the green eyed girl and held up a banana. "We missed you."

Lauren glanced back at her roommates, who were all watching their interaction from the couch. She raised an eyebrow at them, and they all turned away, knowing they'd been caught.

"Do you need me to peel that?" Lauren asked, eyeing the banana that Camila was holding up.

"No," Camila shook her head. She stared at the banana for a few moments before bringing it to her mouth and trying to bite into it. She quickly pulled the banana away and stared at it in disgust. "I broke it," she gasped.

Lauren laughed and shook her head. "You didn't break it," she took the banana out of Camila's hands and peeled it halfway, handing it back to her. "You just have to peel it first."

"My savior," Camila hummed happily, looking down at the banana and then up at Lauren. "Want some?" she tilted her head to the side and held the fruit up in Lauren's face.

Shrugging, Lauren leaned over and took a bite of the banana. Camila giggled excitedly.

"Thank you," Lauren laughed at Camila's excitement.

"Thank you," Camila repeated. She nodded once and took a bite of the banana, humming in approval.

"No, you're supposed to say you're welcome," Lauren pointed to Camila to explain. "If someone thanks you, you say 'you're welcome'."

"You're welcome, thank you," Camila nodded happily and turned around, walking over to the counter and sitting on one of the stools. Lauren giggled at Camila's attempt, leaning against the counter and glancing back in the living room. Her roommates looked away quickly, but Lauren knew they were still watching her.

"You have a pretty laugh," Camila observed. She leaned across the counter and placed her fingers on Lauren's lips, as if she could hear her laughing thought touch. "I like it when you laugh," Camila reaffirmed with a nod.

Lauren's cheeks grew red and she knew the other girls were all surprised by how easily she and Camila were getting along. "I guess I should do it more often, then," she shrugged, smirking when she saw Dinah mouth 'oh my god' to Normani out of the corner of her eye.

"Yes, you're welcome," Camila smiled with a mouthful of her banana. Lauren giggled, which caused Camila to smile even wider.

"What's for dinner?" Dinah strolled into the kitchen, pretending like she hadn't just watched the entire encounter between Lauren and Camila. The green eyed girl shrugged and started putting the groceries away.

"This is dinner," Camila announced, holding up a box of mac and cheese for Dinah to see.

"Good choice, Chancho," Dinah laughed, holding out her fist in front of Camila. The smaller girl stared at it questioningly. "You're supposed to bump it with your fist, like this," Dinah laughed, holding her fist out to Lauren, who returned the gesture.

"Oh," Camila nodded, bumping both of her fists together. Lauren and Dinah laughed, and Dinah shook her head.

"No, bump my fist," she explained, holding her fist out in front of Camila. Camila nodded once and held out her fist to bump Dinah's. Once she did, Dinah pulled her fist back and made an exploding noise with her mouth. Camila giggled excitedly and then did the same.

"Make the girl her dinner, Laur," Dinah teased, tossing the box of macaroni and cheese to Lauren. The green eyed girl made a face at Dinah before grabbing a pot and filling it with water. She set the pot on the stove to boil.
