Normani/You - Out shopping

"(Y/N)! You have to come with me. You're the only person I trust with this kind of advice and I really need something new to wear the Alex's party this weekend. She said that it's supposed to be a really good one and that a lot cuties will be there." (Y/BF/N) whined while rolling onto their back on my bed, hanging their head off the foot of the bed slightly so that they could look at me in the closet.

I looked through my closet for a little bit, trying to find something that I could possibly wear to the party as well, though when I didn't find anything I just decided to give up and not go. I could always watch Netflix the whole night while (Y/BF/N) was gone, knowing they'd ask to stay over once the party was over.

"As long as you are the one that has to come up with an excuse to tell my mom and dad. And you can't use the word party because then they won't let you stay after like you plan to. Don't raise your eyebrows at me, I know you well enough to know you'll want to stay after." I explained while walking out of the closet, giving (Y/BF/N) a look before I flopped on the bed on my stomach, groaning slightly in frustration as I did so.

"Deal. I'll tell them it's a friendly barbecue and then I'll ask if I can stay after it's over."(Y/BF/N) explained while rolling back onto their stomach, looking over their shoulder at me, seeing as I had my head down at their feet.

"Oh? And what happens when my mom asks why you can't just go home after it's over." I asked, closing my eyes as I folded my arms under my head and relaxed a little, patently waiting for an answer.

"Um... Oh! I'll say that it's closer to your house and that I don't know what time it will end, so if it does end up getting late, I don't want to bother my own parents because they have to work in the morning." (Y/BF/N) explained as if it were the simplest thing in the world. I laid there for a few moments before I pushed myself up off of the be, opening my eyes and groaning slightly as I did so.

"Fine, but I'm driving this time and you have to promise me something." I explained while I walked over to my dresser, grabbing my keys off of it before I walked back to the closet so that I could get myself a jacket.

"Anything." (Y/BF/N) responded immediately as they also got off of the bed and got ready to head downstairs so that we could ask.

"You can't shop for me. This trip is for you and only you. We're going to get you something awesome to wear so that you can impress those cuties and maybe get one of them to talk to you." I explained, immediately getting a nod of approval from my best friend. I chuckled slightly before we headed downstairs, ready to explain things to my parents. Once we got downstairs, I found both of my parents sitting on the couch while watching a movie together, making me bite my lip a little. This might be a little harder then we though seeing as they were now both together.

However, the convincing part was actually easier than we had planned. Almost immediately after (Y/BF/N) got done speaking, my mother gave a nod and then looked over at my dad, who soon nodded as well and told us to have fun while we were gone. I looked over at my best friend, raising an eyebrow slightly before walking outside. I defiantly didn't want to give them time to change their minds about what they had just allowed me and my best friend to do.

"Okay, so when we get there, can I lead the way? I know where the good spots are and I think that they may also have sales going on at the moment." (Y/BF/N) asked as the paired of us climbed into my car. I nodded and buckled up before starting the car then pulling out of the driveway.

"Of course. After all, I did say that this trip was about you, didn't I?" I asked while smiling softly, glancing over at my best friend for a second just in time to seem them nod before I returned my attention to the road so that we wouldn't get into a crash.

It took me about 25 minutes to drive to the mall and then find a parking space that wasn't too far away from the entrance. It only took (Y/BF/N) and I about 10 minutes to get inside and find the store that they had been wanting to visit. I chuckled slightly at how fast we had arrived at the store before walking inside, smiling softly at the excitement that my best friend was showing.

The moment that we were in the store, my best friend took off in one direction, most likely to look at something specific while I'm felt to really just wander around the store to try and find something that I think my best friend would like. This was pretty much how all of our shopping trips went seeing as (Y/BF/N) would also end up coming to me to ask me what I though of an outfit. Eventually we learned that it would be good to let me look for some outfits as well.

I had been in the store for about 10 minutes now and had managed to pick out a few tops as well as some pants that I thought would look good together and on (Y/BF/N) and was now making my way over to the shoes to find something for them to wear on their feet. When I got there I started looking not really saying anything to myself like I normally would, which meant that the little area was silent. That is until I heard someone to my left speak up.

"Lauren, tell me which pair of shoes would go better with the pants that Ally showed you earlier." A slightly familiar voice said from around floor level, causing my to raise my eyebrows slightly. Looking down, I suddenly realized why the voice sounded familiar, it was Normani and she was holding out two pairs of black high heals. Biting my lip slightly, I cleared my throat slightly before speaking up.

"Well, I don't know that pants Ally picked out but I personally love the first pair better. Also, if they are going on you, they would look sexy." I replied while smiling softly, chuckling a little when she looked up at me really confused, though the confusion soon turned to realization as she stood up.

(Y/N)! I thought you were Lauren, I'm sorry. Thank you though and the pants that Ally picked out are just like the ones in your hands." Normani said while smiling happily, gesturing to the pants that were in my hands. Smiling, I glanced down at the pants before looking back at the shoes that Normani was still holding, nodding once again.

"Then the first pair of shoes are definitely the ones to go with. They look that best with those pants and they will look amazing on you." I explained while smiling widely as I rocked back and forth on my heels slightly. Normani looked at the shoes and then at the pants before smiling widely.

"I think that our stylist will like your taste. So, may I ask why you're here?" Normani asked as she set the shoes off to the side, though she didn't completely put them back because she most likely still needed to show them to one of the girls.

"Well, my best friend has a party to go to tonight so I'm here so they are 'dressed to impress' when they get to the party. What about you? Why are you and the girls here?" I asked while shifting the clothes that were hanging over one arm, moving them to the other while she shrugged slightly.

"We have a last minute interview tomorrow and don't have any clothes that are fitting for an interview, so our stylist told us to go out and get something ourselves." She said simply, getting a nod from me. I was getting ready to say something else when I suddenly heard my best friend call out my name, causing me to look around the store for a moment before I turned and looked at Normani.

"Look, I'd love to stay and talk with you a little more, but (Y/BF/N) most likely needs me to look over an outfit, I'm sorry." I said sadly while getting ready to leave, however I stopped when she took a hold of my wrist and kept me in my place. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and the felling of her hand against my skin caused butterflies to rise in my stomach while I looked at what she was doing.

Before I could stop her, she had a sharpie out of her back pocket and was writing on my inside forearm rather quickly as my friend kept calling my name. When she finished she sent me a wink before I walked off, my heart skipping a beat from the wink. I took this moment to look down at what was written on my arm.

Call me cutie ;)

Followed by her phone number.
