As I hit shuffle on my simp playlist,
I heard a familiar voice say to Jalissa
"I'll wait here". Thinking nothing of it,
I shrugged it off and let Good Days
by Sza blare through my speaker.

When I finished taking a shower,
I wrapped myself in my towel and
exited the bathroom with my phone
and speaker clutched in my hands.

Jalissa hurried in my bedroom
shutting the door behind her. I looked
at her wondering why she was in such
an angsty mood; she looked at me
with complete seriousness before saying
Normani was sitting in our livingroom.

I silently nodded before telling Lissa
to relay the message that I would be
out, when I finish getting dressed.
As the sweet sound of Kehlani's voice
calmed me down, I began doing my
make-up.

Lissa and I were having a small
black tie affair, get together to ring
in the new year. We were having a minimum
of ten friends over, and we all got tested
for covid-19 prior.

Once I was finished doing my make-up,
I unraveled my hair from it's wrapped
protected state. I then put on my cropped
black velvet corset top, with a pair of
light washed denim mom jeans, and a
pair of sparkly black stilettos.

I took a deep breath before walking
out of my bedroom, and turning my
attention to Normani who was seated
on our couch scrolling through her phone.
She locked her phone and lifted her
head up, to look in my direction. As she
looked at me, I could see her eyes
grow darker from lust.

In my head I was totally smirking, cause
we both know who the real prize is .. and
it's not miss Jillian. I shook my head
of my funny fact, before meeting her
over bu the couch.

We greeted each other will a small
second lasting side hug, before sitting
down next to each other. Normani cleared
her throat before speaking up.

"Look I know I'm the last person
you probably want to see right now.
But I'm here to genuinely and sincerely
apologize-"

I cut her off by saying
"You do know those two words
basically mean the same thing, right?"

She chuckled even though I was being
dead serious, well more of a smart ass.
She continued on "Anyways, I am
so sorry Reyah. I never wanted things
to end, and I especially didn't want them
to end the way they did. It was a very
messy situation, but the truth is my team
came up with the idea of a publicity
stunt. I didn't want you anywhere near
that, so I decided to call things off between
us. I know it hurt you, badly. It definitely
hurt me too, to the state of depression.
It definitely motivated me to write an
album though."

She took a deep breath before sighing
"I had no idea you knew Jillian, she was
just someone who has been blowing up
my dms for some years. And that's where
the PR stunt comes in, they said it
would look good if I dated a fan etc.
So point is, I was dumb enough to do
that shit and I'm sorry. I miss you so
much Rey, and I love you a lot. Truth is
I never stopped."

And with that, she leaned in for a kiss.
I couldn't help myself from meeting her,
half way and kissing her back.

What a great start to the new year,
I thought to myself before grinning
between kisses.
