FLASHBACK

TWO YEARS AGO...

"What's your name? Lauren said biting her lip as she watched the legs of the beautiful woman beside her lost in thought as the singer climbed the partition that separated her from the gaze of her driver.

"Normani Kordei," said the woman softly, and Lauren reached out her hand slowly touching her leg.

"You're beautiful, Normani," Lauren said huskily and Normani turned to her, watching her for a moment.

"Where do you have it?" Lauren smiled and pulled a bag out of her jacket and showed it to Normani who practically snatched it out of her hands.

"You can do it quietly when we get to the hotel," Lauren said looking at her and smiling seductively. "We can do it together, naked in bed."

Normani stared at her as Lauren smiled there was something about her that looked so destroyed. She had beautiful, expressive green eyes. And at that moment they looked so dull. Normani could see it because she felt the same way she did.

"I didn't know you were gay," Normani said quickly and Lauren's smile was wiped off her face.

"I don't like to label myself, I'm just an appreciator of beauty," Lauren said with a wink. "Besides, there's a lot of things the media doesn't know about me," she replied, looking her in the eye. "They told me at the club that you were the type to keep quiet in exchange for a good amount of money about the identity of the clients who visit you," Lauren smiled. "I'm going to pay you thousands of dollars and give you a good dose that will leave you on cloud nine and having the best sex of your life."

"You have a lot of confidence," Normani said, looking her up and down and smiling sensually. "I like determined women."

"And I like women who have a body like yours," Lauren said, making Normani laugh and slowly move closer to her until she felt Lauren's breath on her face.

"I've never fucked a celebrity as pretty as you," Normani said vulgarly and Lauren bit her lip, staring into her eyes and smiled.

"Do you like women?" Normani nodded looking her in the eyes and Lauren moved a little closer, "How much?"

"More than men" Lauren winked at her and moved closer kissing her slowly as Normani held on to the bag of heroin and Lauren smiled against her lips taking her hand.

"Don't worry," Lauren said. "It's the best there is..." she referred to the drug.

"Do you have a syringe with you?" Normani said quickly and Lauren laughed and shook her head.

"I have a device that cost me thousands of dollars in a place you'd never imagine, and you're probably going to love to inhale it and it doesn't hurt your skin. I'm an artist and I have to take care of myself so I buy the best toys in the world to disconnect from it, but to try it you have to wait until we get to the hotel so we can get lost together. I'm sure it will be a night to remember, Normani," Lauren laughed. "May I call you Mani?"

"You can call me whatever you want" Lauren kissed her again slowly and pressed her body to hers. Feeling Normani's curves under her fingers touching the exposed skin of her body. That would surely be a night that promised to be very special.
