Normani's POV

I cracked some eggs in a bowl, making some french toast. I just went to the grocery store quickly to grab some groceries. Megan was sleep on me all night. She cried some last night, we didn't talk much but I sang to her a little and now I'm making some breakfast.

Idris and Taraji aren't here but I'm not too worried about them.

I was listening to some music but it wasn't too loud. I hummed to some of it and finished up the French toast. I started to cut up some strawberries before I called my mom.

"Good morning, I'm still at Megan's, I'll be over a little later,"

"Good morning love, is she okay?"

"She's alright, I'm just trying to nurse her back to health," I laughed weakly

"Alright well your aunts are leaving tomorrow, I wanted to tell you this yesterday before me and mom got into it but I'm going to be staying with you guys for a little. I know you have your high school life, friends, relationships and your own responsibilities. I talked to my probation officer and he said that I'd be cleared to stay here, I can help out with mom and I can get to know you more,"

I honestly don't mind. "Okay, that's sounds good we can talk more later,"

"Okay I love you," she said.

"Okay bye," I hung up.

I hate when she says that. Because I don't know if I love her. So far I've bonded with my mom pretty well, but it's more of a friend ship I guess.

I set up two plates and drizzled syrup over the French toast. I set them down at the table.

I walked back down the hall and saw Megan brushing her teeth.

"Good morning sleepy head," I said as I leaned against the wall.

She dried around her mouth and walked over to kiss me. She wrapped her arms my waist.

"Good morning beautiful," her raspy voice tingled me all through my body.

Her lips attached themselves to mine again, this time deeper, nastier and longer.

A moan slipped passed my lips.

"Baby, y-you feeling better?" I broke our kiss.

She nodded. "A lot better now," she spoke against my lips. Her cool breath drove itself passed my spine as well.

"I made um some breakfast," I felt her hand lift to the arch of my back.

"I want to eat something else," she spoke lowly.

"I think we should hold off, for a little longer. I want you to be in your right mind when we.. you know?"

She smiled and nodded.
"I know what you mean baby," she kissed my lips before walking into the kitchen.

"You're not mad?" I asked

"I wanted to eat a lil something but I can wait, I know I haven't been myself for a little I don't mean to scare you away," she turned towards me.

"You made this?" She cooed, "come here, you treat me too good," she held me once again.

"You're in a good mood today," I looked up at her and she kissed me again.

"I had some realization this morning. I think I'm ready to talk to you about it,"

I let my hands rest on her face.

"It's mostly just my feelings you know? I never do too well with talking about things that hurt me," she began to speak.

"I'm still humiliated every-time I even think of what I had to do. And Lauren announcing it to the world made me realize how much I truly hate myself for it," she took a deep breath.

"My dad, he doesn't even know why. I won't tell him, and sometimes if I'm quiet for long enough he'll let it go. But my mom, she's way more persistent. I'm not used to it like I used to be, when it came to my mom I knew I'd tell her eventually. She'd wait a million years until I was ready to talk. And now that I've held this secret for so long I don't want to tell her, but I know I will. I just don't want to hurt her, I don't want her to be upset with herself she doesn't deserve pain,"

I wiped a tear that swam down her face.
"You're the only person that knows how she'll react, and you're the only person that knows if you're even ready to have that conversation with her. But you can't run away from it," I stepped closer into her.

"You shouldn't hate yourself for what you had to do. There were no other options for you at the time, now you can focus your energy into what you want to do. I feel that you won't allow yourself to do so if you can't get passed this. I think talking about it to your parents might help you do that,"

"I'm scared," she whispered.

"I know," I kissed her cheek and she buried her head down into my neck. I rubbed her back.

"Do you think they'll see me differently?" She whispered.

"No, they love you baby. Come on let's eat something," I held her hand walking to the kitchen table where I set the food.

"Thank you," she said steady looking down at her food cutting it up.

"You don't have to thank me, I'll always be here for you," I started cutting my food as well.

"One day, I'm gonna give you the world," she looked up at me while chewing.

My face started getting hot and I looked down into my food.
