Y/N's POV:

"How are you Normani?" I asked softly after a couple seconds of silence.

"Wow. Took you long enough to ask that. How long have we been roommates? Like two months right?" She pointed out.

I couldn't help but chuckle but I could tell she was dead serious.

"To be fair if you wanted me to talk to you so bad you should've made the first move." I countered.

"Wow. I can see you haven't changed much THAT much if you live by that philosophy I'm pretty sure you made up." She mumbled to herself.

I wanted to say something but she beat me to it.

"But to answer your question I'm good. Put myself back together after our breakup, had to help Dinah though." She answered.

"Well I'm sorry I put you guys through that. Obviously it wasn't purposely. One thing that both of you should know is that I truly loved y'all. I wasn't in my right mind. And I'm sorry for that again." I explained.

"That's what all abusers say Y/N. Your words truly don't do anything cause that's all they are. Just words."

"I'm more than aware than that. These past two months I've been trying to grow balls and actually take action to show how sorry I am for what I did but you know I'm not good at this type of stuff."

When I informed her about that she just stayed quiet.

"Is it true?" She asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows at her random and vague question.

"What is?"

"That you're a whole year clean?" She clarified.

"Well. Technically, 11 months and 360 days clean." I specified.

"Wow... Y/N I am beyond mad and pissed at you but trust me when I say I am really proud of you." She told me.

"Thank you. That means a lot comin from you. Truly."

Once again awkward silence fell.

"Fuck my life." I heard her mumble to herself before I felt her engulf me into a hug. Her arms around my neck.

I wasn't sure what I should do or not because I didn't want to over step boundaries so I just used one hand to rub her back softly and the other just stayed down.

"She still smells like cocoa butter and vanilla." She informed me as if I didn't know that. But I think I wasn't meant to here that.

"Well it is my signature scent. It's what made you guys fall for me in the first place. It's such a comforting smell." I mumbled.

I felt her tense up. Embarrassed that I heard her.

Jeez I never knew seven minutes could be so long.

"We have like 2 more minutes left." She mumbled in my neck. As if she was fucking reading my mind.

After a minute of comfortable-ish silence. I gave into my urge to properly hug her back so I wrapped my arms around her.

"Normani. I'm not gonna give up. I'll find a way to earn you guys' trust back. To show y'all I truly am sorry for what I did and I'll never do it to y'all or anyone again. The first step was my sobriety. I'm going to keep going until I hear both of you say that you trust and forgive me again. This isn't my attempt to get In y'all pants or for us to date again. I just want to be on y'all's good side again. I don't want y'all to hate me anymore. Y'all were and are way too important to me. I'm not going to give up ever." I told Normani.
