Lauren Jauregui has been seen yet again with model Lia Pree. The possible couple was spotted holding hands at a cafe in New York. Seems like things are getting serious between the too and very fast. Jauregui has already found new love just 4 months after her split with girlfriend of 2 years supermodel Normani Kordei. I wonder how she's feeling.

"When are you gonna stop looking at that shit?" Choie asks Normani , who is staring intently at the nightly gossip segment on TV.

"It just makes me mad. Like how the hell is she moving on so fast? As if she wasn't just crying in my room four months ago BEGGING me to be with her." Normani raises her voice.

Choie crinkles her face due to Normani's current obsession with keeping tabs on everything her ex-girlfriend did. She continues to scroll through her phone while aimlessly giving Normani advice. "You ignored her for a month straight tho girl. I mean what did you expect?"

Normani sighed understanding that Choie was completely right. After that night she asked Lauren to leave, Lauren called her more than 5 times a day. She even sent her flowers, retweeted cute little fan edits of the two, only for Normani shut it all down. Normani couldn't handle all of the sudden attention from Lauren, because, to her, the other woman's gestures felt non-genuine. She felt as though it was a cheap shot and wanting to get on Normani's good side without putting much thought and time into it. She wanted a complete break from Lauren and if that meant cutting off all forms of communication with her, Normani was willing to do it. They had been in each other's faces for so long that Normani wanted to know how it felt to yearn for Lauren again and the gestures only put her off more. A part of her just thought Lauren would understand that and wait for her. However, she knew deep down that the Lauren she knew was already long gone and she was gonna drift back into her old habits no matter if Normani contacted her or not.

Old habits Lauren was the girl who stayed out late, invited different girls back to her apartment and did things with them. Her whole brand was the playgirl. It was a hard persona for Normani to overcome but once she and Lauren got on the same page with how they felt about one another, Normani began to see the woman Lauren really was when they first started dating. Of course, like most couples they had bumps in the road, a few that subconsciously Normani knew would lead to them pulling apart. Th"I'm just not with it. That's fucked up." Normani said rolling her eyes slightly.

"Well, let's go out then! Get your mind off of ole girl and get you on someone else." Choie said causing Normani to snap out of her thoughts.

Maybe she did need to "get on someone else," like Choie said. For the past four months, all she has been doing is replaying her relationship and as of recently keeping tabs on her ex-beloved. Normani couldn't understand how the other woman moved on so quickly which made her question if she ever loved her in the first place. She needed to get the dark haired woman out of her head anyway possible.

"We gonna hit up Lounge?" Choie asked. Normani nodded. She was somewhat listening to Choie ramble about how it was the hottest club in town currently and that she couldn't wait while Normani reached into her pocket taking out her phone. On her phone, she couldn't help herself, Lauren's Twitter page appeared in front of her and all she could do was scroll. The other woman latest tweet featured a picture of her and her new lover, Lia. Lia's head rested on Lauren's shoulder, they looked like they were in an uber. Lauren's face looked bright but a tad bit tired. The picture was captioned ,"Restless days with this bean ❤😊". The tweet just made Normani even more mad,causing her to scroll up a bit and turn the blue following button to white.

"Yeah,let's go out. I want to fuck somebody. Let me get dress" Normani sprung up from the couch and marched into her room.

Lauren POV

          

Lauren looked down at her phone reading twitter. Her time line was full of people freaking out over her picture of her and Lia. She thought it was cute and it brought a bit of a smile to her face. Then she saw tweets that made it go away.

@laurmanihero: Yooo Normani unfollowed Lauren 👀

@Wacko: Mani unfollowed Lauren after her post with Lia 🙄

@PopCultureFacts: Normani Kordei has  unfollowed ex-gf Lauren Jauregui after her post with Lia Pree 👀

Lauren went to Normani's page and saw the gossip was indeed correct. The love of her life basically publicly stated she wants nothing to do with her. Apart of her was kind of happy that she unfollowed knowing that her flaunting of Lia was doing something to Normani.

"Babe, I'll meet you at the club tonight okay?" Lia said before leaning down and touching her lips against Lauren's. The kiss was short and sweet,it made Lauren like her lips a bit.

"How bout we stay in. You know order some food? Fuck?" Lauren proposed biting her bottom lip. Lia raised her eyebrow looking down at Lauren and sat down on her lap.

"Mmmm that sounds great,but I'm not sure I want to fuck you after I had to kick that other hoe out this morning."

Lauren rolled her eyes and grabbed Lia's ass through her jeans. "Well technically you're just a PR stunt. I can fuck whoever behind the scenes. I just happen to enjoy it with you more than others." Lauren smiles and begins to suck on her neck. A small noise escapes from Lia's mouth as Laurens tounge begins to wonder upwards. She was almost lost in the moment,but then suddenly pushed Lauren away.

"I'm not stupid Jauregui! I know Normani unfollowed you. Twitter moves fast!" Lia gathered herself off of her. Lauren let out a deep sigh.

"Like what the hell! She broke up with ME. I should be the one unfollowing her!" Lauren raised her voice a bit. She didn't understand Normani at all. She called and texted her day after day for months when she broke up with her. She even started going to therapy to figure out why she zoned out on their relationship. She was completely invested in fixing their relationship. Lauren still attended therapy trying to get herself together inorder to love Normani properly.

"I'm sure you being with me pisses her off. Tbh I'd unfollow your ass too! Like damn it hasn't been 5months yet and you're fucking me" Lia said.

"Hey,you were a great business proposal,and hot. You know I can't resist fine. Which you are. Plus the album is ready. I need the buzz . You enjoy all this attention ,admit it!" Lauren smiled at Lia.

"Yeah,but the album  is basically a ode to Normani. Look babe, I get it. This is the hard part of the job. Balancing love and work. I think you know which is more important to you but you Ms.Jauregui,you are a fuckgirl. Let the girl be hurt and unfollow you. Now get dressed,I'll see you at the club later okay?" Lia patted Lauren's lap as she stood up. Lauren nodded her head in defeat as she stood.

Surprisingly she didn't really want to go to the club. It just reminded her of her fuck ups- especially all the ones that involved Normani. She didn't mean to neglect her ex-lover as much as she did. The truth was she enjoyed every minute Normani was with her. She loved coming home from the studio and sitting on the couch next to her girlfriend who was equally as tired. It just felt nice to have Normani's presence even though she was too tired to engulf her in her arms. Lauren was trapped inbetween love and work just like Lia said. As much as she wanted to give Normani the attention she needed,releasing her newest album was slightly more important because of how
shitty her label was for trapping her.

Normani POV

"So you gonna let me buy you drink ma?" The voice was so deep it sent shivers down Normani's body when his breathe slightly tickled her ear. She turned to face the tall dark-skinned young man who was blinding her a bit with his  beautiful smile.
Normani bit her lip giving the handsome man a quick check up and down.
