Third Person POV

"You should've seen her face, she was happy and then I just snatched the happiness right from her" Normani vented to her assistant as she spun in the producer's chair

Normani was currently taking a lunch break, going crazy out of her mind. Y/N hasn't texted or called her since that night and she didn't know what to do at this point

She craved Y/N's attention, just to sit and talk with her like they did a week ago.

"Maybe she's just busy with work stuff. You did say she's a police lieutenant" Paula, Normani's assistant replied trying to relieve her boss's mind

Coincidentally, Y/N has actually been busy with work since that date with Normani

"You're married to a woman right? How was dating like?" Normani asked as she sat up abruptly

Paula was taken aback by the question

"I can't explain it to you Normani you just have to experience it for yourself. Besides everyone's experience is different" she answered

"I'm going for a walk" Normani replied as she stood to her feet

"Uh, okay" Paula answered confused at the sudden change in mood

Normani grabbed her phone and started towards the exit of the recording studio. Eventually her feet took her to the park and she  somewhat hoped that she'd get to meet Y/N there like they did the first time they met

At that thought, a flow of lyrics made its way to her mind and she got her phone out to quickly type them

"In the darkest night hour... I'll search through the crowd...Your face is all that I see...I'll give you everything...Baby love me lights out" she hummed as she typed

Just as she saved the notes and locked her phone, it was swiftly taken from her hand. It all happened so fast and all she saw was someone tackling the burglar to the ground

The officer stood to her feet as she held the guy by the cuffs that were locked around his hands.

"I believe this belongs to you" Y/N said as she turned to Normani, her grip never loosening even as the burglar fought against it

Normani took her phone from the officer's outstretched hand and kept her gaze on the device

Shortly after, another officer approached them and took the burglar from Y/N and took him to the car

"Are you okay? He didn't hurt you did he?" Y/N asked giving the singer a glance over to make sure there weren't any bruises or signs of injury

The question caused Normani to look up from her blank phone

"I'm fine" Normani answered and turned on her heels to start walking away

"Hey, a thank you would be appreciated" Y/N said as she walked along side Normani who was angrily stomping her way out of the park

"I gave you my number for a reason you know? A simple text or call would be appreciated" Normani gritted

Y/N was slightly confused as to why Normani was reacting this way

"I'm sorry. I've been busy with work and as soon as I get home I go straight to bed after you know, eating and showering" Y/N answered

Normani couldn't help the smile that formed on her face at the ending on the officer's response

"Then give me your number" the singer said as she came to a stop

"Okay, its... (Y/phone/number)"  the officer answered without hesitating

"Okay. I'm gonna text you later and you better answer" Normani demanded

"Oui m'dame (yes ma'am)" Y/N smirked

Normani smiled and bidded her goodbyes before crossing over to the studio

Y/N made it home before Beyoncè as the detective was on a rather interesting case leaving Y/N with the whole house to herself

She made a bowl of cereal for her dinner before heading up to her room as she scrolled through her phone. As she did so, she received a text from an unknown number which she predicted was Normani which it was

Y/N decided to take a shower before starting a conversation with the singer

~》

"Hey" Normani greeted as soon as she saw Y/N's face on the other side of the screen

"Hey. I love the bonnet" Y/N said jokingly

The two were now in bed getting ready to get some rest for whatever tomorrow might throw at them when Y/N decided to call Normani remembering their conversation earlier 

Normani giggled at what Y/N said before asking

"How was your day?"

"My day was hectic as usual but it was great because I got to see you at the park today" The French woman answered

"You are such a smooth talker" Normani grinned

"I don't think so, I'm just speaking the truth"

"Enough about me. How was your day?" Y/N questioned after

"My day was great. I started on a new song after I bumped into you earlier. I'm about halfway through it" Normani replied

"That's good. I'm happy for your progress"

A silence fell upon them shortly after Y/N's compliment. Normani and Y/N were both gazing down at the screen of the phones at the other person

"Don't be mad at me if I fall asleep on the call" Y/N verbalized as she placed her phone on the charger and positioned it so that Normani could see her fully

"That's if I don't fall asleep before you. I'm tired" Normani chuckled just before a yawn escaped

"Then go to sleep" Y/N encouraged

"But I wanna stay up and talk to you" the singer exposed

"About what?"

"I don't know" Normani smiled sleepily

"Haha, tomorrow is my day off. How about we talk more when you come over for a movie and some dinner?" Y/N suggested

"Yay, I'd love that" Normani said just before her eyes closed and slumber took over her body

Shortly after, Y/N's eye lids started to droop as well and before she knew it, she too fell into deep slumber
