Normani's POV

"Baby you okay?" I rubbed Megan's neck as she drove. Damn near speeding to the airport.

I could tell she was tired, she had a long day.

She nodded.

"Pull over," I said

She looked over at me quickly.

"Pull over bubba," I repeated

She slowed and put her blinker on, pulling over.

"What's up?" She looked over to me. I kissed her lips before getting out of the car.

"Go to sleep, I know you're tired," I opened her door, when she got out she gave me a long hug.

"I love you," she whispered.

"I love you more," I kissed her cheek.

I got into the drivers seat, we only had 45 minutes left.

"Which exit is she going to be at?"

"19," she answered right before dosing off. I played some music.

"Taraji !!" I rolled down the passengers window

She looked up and I shook Megan awake to help with the two suitcases.

"I'm sitting in the front Megan go lay in the back I got a blanket in my carry on,"

Megan nodded while making her way to the back.

"Ready?" I asked

"Yes," Taraji out her seatbelt on

"So what's going on?"

Taraji looked over at me. Then back at Megan who was fast asleep.

"Lance wants to be back in my life now that Idris and I are working on things,"

I nodded.

"God I know you just a baby I really need to talk to your aunt Angela. I miss her so much,"

"I miss her too, she hasn't been over in a few months. I know I'm not your ideal person to vent to but I'm all ears. Megan never told me who Lance was,"

"Well Megan and Lance never met," she began to explain. "After Idris and I called quits they moved up to Philly. I stayed down in Texas. I met Lance not too long after and I was still in touch with Megan. When I got pregnant I was sure to start my family and then that's when Megan stopped speaking to me. It broke my heart. I had a miscarriage and Lance destroyed me from the inside out. I was just so desperate for love at the time and losing Megan and my baby was too much,"

She took a deep breath and wiped a tear.

"He blamed me for everything and so I left. And now he wants me back I feel like a got damn child. He's never gotten abusive with me but I need Idris to get his shit together so I can feel safe enough with him,"

"He's been better since you left, he's really been going to his sessions and everything. Megan's been talking to him too,"

"Thank you for being here for Megan, and myself,"

"You're family,"

"Speaking of family, what are we doing for the holidays huh? Enough of the sappiness,"

"I'm not sure, Thanksgiving is soon,"

"Yes it is, Idris and I have been looking at houses over Zillow. I think we might have a winner,"

I gasped, "does she know?"

"Not yet, it'll be a surprise. We should at least have some stuff moved in by the holidays, so our grandma and mom are more than welcomed to come. Kehlani and Rome are also gon be there they just don't know yet,"

"Well I would love to have a thanksgiving with you," I'm honestly flattered. I know Taraji loves me I love the bond we share but it's like when she gets excited about things like this I remember how loved I am.

"How has she been?" Taraji asked, referring to her daughter.

"Good. She's been doing so well with her music,"

"But?"

I looked over it's like she already knew there was something.

"There's this girl, Diamonté. She's been helping Megan but I-"

"Don't trust her. Out of jealousy?"

"Kind of... but there's something off about her. I mean she's just lustful and she wants something from my baby I know it. I can feel it," I started to feel myself get heated.

Taraji didn't do anything but nod her head.

"Protect yours, sometimes my daughter can be hard headed but she needs you to steer her back the right way. If you feel some type of way I trust your judgement,"

"I told her how I feel I just want her to be careful. I hate that she can be so naive,"

"Me too,"

I checked the gps and took the next exit, we were basically home. Well at Megan's house.

After our conversation ended I woke Megan up.

"Go inside baby," I shook her leg

"I was gonna stay with you," she stretched and cracked her back

"Be with your mom for the night, I'll see you tomorrow,"

She nodded and rubbed her eyes.

"Goodnight Taraji," I waved after I got out of Megan's car.

"How are you getting home?" Megan asked me

"Ryan," I had texted Ryan as soon as I got out the car and she was almost here

"Alright, I love you,"

"I love you too bubba,"

Ryan pulled up and I got inside.

"Heyyy boo,"

"Hiii," I put my seatbelt on

"How was it?"

"It was cute, she took me to this old building and I spray painted I need to get back into graffiti," I began to ramble

"Did you give her some?" She looked over as she drove.

"No, we talked. I think she understands now, I hope so. But we had to pick Taraji up from the airport a lot happen."

"Well I'm happy y'all safe, look there's this party that I'm sure Megan will be invited to, Diamonté posted it. Just make sure you're her plus one, get to feel the vibes for real,"

"Hopefully I won't hate every second," I said as Ryan came to a stop in the driveway.

"You wonttt, it won't be bad. These are the type of people Megan will be around test out the environment. Text me or Sol if anything,"

"Alright I'll think about it, I'm bouta go inside thank you for the ride, I'm exhausted," I gave Ryan a hug before I walked over to my house. I went inside taking a quick shower and got ready for bed, I was out as soon as I hit the sheets.
