The Checklist ✔ [BOOK 1 & 2]

Y/N's POV

"West" I called out as I placed the bowl of dog food beside the container that had his water

Beyoncè and I decided get a dog for security while Anaïs was here, that was about two or three months ago. We decided to call him West, he's a straight husky. I would get another one but West gets jealous whenever we go to the dog park and I pet another dog so I know getting another one is a big no for us

Soon I could hear his paws clawing against the hand wood floor rushing over to where I was. I rubbed his head as he dug into his food afterwards I washed my hands and started to make dinner

I had messaged Normani and asked her what she'd like to eat and she gave me a list and at the end she had the nerve to say 'you can chose one'

One thing about me, you give me a list of what you want, I'm gonna get you everything on that list, if I can't I get what I can. She doesn't know me too well yet to know that though but she about to find out tonight

Normani and I have built a friendship that I will cherish. Yeah it feels like I'm holding back my emotions towards her because I do enjoy her company and I don't want to ruin our friendship for something that isn't gonna work out

It is obvious that I have strong feelings towards the singer however, I know she doesn't feel the same way about me

I looked over the list and took out the ingredients I had that matched with the food on the list. It took me about a hour and a half to prepare dinner which left me with less than 20 minutes to get ready before Normani gets here

~》

The table was set with the dinner and wine. I was now dressed decently but not too dressed up

As I was about to sit the doorbell went off. I went to open the door amd there stood Normani looking as beautiful as ever

"Hey beautiful" I grinned making her blush

I have never smiled this much talking to a woman, other than Noelle. This woman had me grinning at the thought of even her name

"Hi good looking" she replied with a flirty smile

"I see someone is getting bold" I said and kissed her cheek

She smiled sheepishly and I let her into the house

"Oh my God, you didn't have to do all this. I'm a simple girl, you could have just made us dinner and we watch a movie" she said smiling widely at the set table

"Its no big deal really, I like to make a good impression" I replied before leading her over to the table

I pulled out the chair for her to sit before heading over to the kitchen to get the food I had prepared

"See now, I told you to choose one" she said looking at the food I set out on the table

"I know, but I didn't" I said before sitting down

~√~√~√

Normani's POV

We had just finished eating dinner and now we're eating ice-cream he bought as we watched the movie 'The Lion King'

Then I heard a cute little bark making me look over in the corner. I saw a Husky dog

✔Loves animals✔

"You love dogs too?" I gasped getting up to go over to the cage "Can I hold him?"

"Yeah sure and I love animals except for cats, I despise 'em sneaky motherfuckers" she said while I opened the cage to get the dog

I chuckled at her statement and picked the dog up and held him "he's so cute" I shrieked

"Hey, my son ain't cute, he handsome. His name is West, Beyoncè and I actually got him for my sister while she wws here. Since Bey and I had work we needed to make sure she was safe" she said and soon she was standing beside me as I pet the top of West's head

"Oh, that's cute, you're a family person?"

"Yeah, I love my family. I would do anything for them although my dad and I don't get along that well" she shrugged

✔Family person✔

I looked at her and she looked back at me. It was like that until she spoke up "Let's get back to the movie"

I nodded and we went back over to the couch and went back to watching the Disney movie

I found myself taking glances at Y/N every now and then and each time I did she was focused on the movie. West was fast asleep in my lap so I placed him on the couch beside me before turning to Y/N. I was just staring, it was more like taking in her features

My eyes traveled from her sharp jawline to her lips. 'They look so plump and kissable' I thought and I don't know where I got the confidence to do it but I turned her head towards me and leaned in

Y/N's phone rings interupting the moment. She hesitantly pulled her head away from my touch and reached for her phone.

"Its Ana" she said a huge grin and answered the call, placing it on speaker

I smiled at Y/N's happiness from her sister calling

However, that grin left just as quickly as it made its way to her face when we heard sobbing coming from the other side of the phone

Concern was visible on the French woman's face

"'Hey, calme-toi et dis-moi ce qu'il se passe (Hey, calm down and tell what's going on)" she spoke worry laced in her voice as she spoke

"C'est maman... elle est morte (It's mom...she's dead)" Anaïs sobbed

I had no clue whatsoever as to what they just said but judging from Y/N's blank stare and Anaïs sobbing I knew something was wrong 

"I need to leave" Y/N said standing to her feet which only confused me more

"What happened?" I asked standing to my feet also

"My mom just died. I need to catch a last minute flight to Paris" Y/N explained

"Do you want me to come with you?" I found myself asking

"Thanks but I just want to be alone for now" Y/N said to which I nodded

"Okay, just call me or text me if you need anything" I said

"Yeah"

"I'm sorry for your los-"

"Please don't say that" Y/N said interupting my condolence speech
