Norminah One- Shots

The Hamilton Way

Normani loved being a part of a Mob family. Her Pops, Capo Hamilton, is an Italian Mob Boss and her MonMon, Lady Hamilton, is Ghanaian Royalty. Everyone loved her family and the feelings were mutual, unless you cross them.

Growing up, Normani's childhood was always fun and full of excitement. She was the only granddaughter for years with 10 older cousins. Her father never stopped her from running with the boys and her aunts always taught her feminine ways when she asked about certain stuff. They let her be whoever she wanted to be and she was able to switch up her style.

She's their first born baby girl, but she's also the most hot tempered out of her cousins. She was given the nickname Bella Donna because the pretty plant is best known as being the deadliest first choice for assassins throughout history. The name fit her perfectly, a beautiful killer.

There were three things Normani absolutely loved:
1. Protecting and teaching her little cousin things she learned.
2. Accomplishing milestones with her twin accomplices.
3. Getting to experience family traditions.

The twins were born one month before Normani, so doing the second and third things combined is especially her favorite. You'd think they were triplets how they do everything together.

Like when the three were 10 and got into their first fist fight with some jealous boys at school. They had won their fight, so they got celebrated for winning. It was The Hamilton Way to see one of their Unc's Saturday Night Fight. That night they sat between their older cousins Stephan and Kwame in the best seats in the spacious basement. The three kids were intrigued by seeing the men let off some aggression, Normani especially liked the sport.

Or like when the three were 13 and got caught kissing girls behind their Aunt Lauren's house. Their older cousins, Shameik and Kwesi told them that, again, it was The Hamilton Way to celebrate by taking them and the girls on a chaperoned "date", the whole night they mostly made out with the girls. The three teens had enjoyed that one a lot... they wanted to never stop kissing girls.

But Normani knew that The Hamilton Way she loved most would always be the one that led her to her soulmate. The memory causes her goosebumps as flashbacks hit her. That one magical sentence is echoed, filling her head with her older brother Rakim's voice.

"We're going to Fantasies kiddos."

Six years ago..(15 years old)

Normani, Christian, and Taurus has always been the sneakiest out of their cousins, but they always got caught. The older boys always teased the three stooges at how bad they were. But luckily for them, they always got away with it.

It was The Hamilton Way, that's what her Dad, Uncles, and cousins would say. They had no doubts that this risky situation they found themselves in right at the moment was going to end the same as the others. They'd finally lost their virginities about two weeks ago and had been sneaking the girls in ever since.

They hadn't gotten caught the first few times, so they thought they could keep getting away with it, but of course it was too good to be true. The next day Aunt Euphimia was cleaning up the house and found a condom wrapper. Taurus blamed Christian, Christian blamed Normani, and Normani blamed them both for the wrapper.

Their aunts smacked them upside their heads all day while the males reminisced about younger days when they were getting girls, too. The slight headache and embarrassment was well worth it in the end because that same night they stood in front of a big nice ass building. Their cousins handed the twins and Normani each $2 million, they'd never held so many stacks of 20, 50, and 100 dollar bills before.
