Third Person POV

Y/N called Mr. Henderson to let him know of her absence and he gave her two weeks off. Those two weeks were spent in Paris grieving with his sister who the death had hit harder than bricks itself.

Y/N has been focusing on herself and Anaïs which caused her to ignore Beyoncè, Megan, Zendaya and Normani who were all trying to be there for the grieving sisters

24 hours before the funeral, Y/N had gotten so drunk, she ended up texting Normani asking her if she could catch the next flight over to her in Paris

Of course Normani hesitated at first but the vulnerability laced in her voice as she whispered through the phone 'I need you' was what made her cancel her plans for the week and book a last minute flight to Paris

So here they are dressed in black at the cemetery listening to the preacher give the closing remarks

Normani was lost as she couldn't understand anything what was being said during the ceremony however, she was there for Y/N and Ana's support so it didn't really matter to her

Y/N zoned out for almost all of the ceremony and poor Anaïs had run out of tears to shed. Normani had one arm around the two siblings who melted into her touch

It wasn't long before they were leaving the cemetery and making their way to the place they once called home. Y/N has decided that Ana will stay with her in L.A until she can stand on her own two feet

"I'm gonna make something for us to eat" Normani said softly as soon as they stepped foot into the house

Ana went straight to her mother's old room where she had been nesting for the past few days while Y/N crashed into the couch in the living room

The French woman was sprawled out in the middle of the living room staring up at the ceiling

Normani was filled with sympathy as she looked at her friend grieving. A sigh left her lips before she made her way to the kicthen to prepare dinner for the three of them to eat

~》

"You guys have to eat something" Normani sighed as she broke the silence

The three female were seated at the dinner table eating... well, Normani was eating, Ana was taking small bites here and there and then there was Y/N who was unintentionally playing with the meal on the plate before her

"Please?" Normani begged "if not for me, do it it for your mom, you know she wouldn't want you going on with an empty stomach for hours"

At the mention of 'mom' Y/N tensed up and Ana's head snapped towards Normani

Normani gave up hope when she got no response or saw any movement. She went back to waiting her dinner and as she did she heard forks hitting the plate and the two siblings started eating

The singer smiled at her accomplishment. Once they had finished eating dinner Normani ushered Ana and Y/N to their respective bathrooms to take a shower

She sat on the seat of the toilet as she waited for the 11 year old to finish showering before giving her attention to Y/N who had gotten a bottle of scotch to drown her emotions

Normani was quick to grab the bottle from her friend

"You can't keep doing this to yourself Y/N"

"Then tell me what am I supposed to do Normani! What do you want me to do? Huh!?"  Y/N snapped

Her reaction left Normani frozen in her spot. She was shocked at the fact that Y/N just yelled at her but she knew it was the anger and hurt talking so she brushed it off

"You need to take a shower, you stink of scotch" Normani answered as she emptied the contents in the bottle of liquor down the drain

Y/N stood to her feet as her lust filled eyes looked at Normani from the crown of her head to her thick thighs. Slowly she approached the singer who's back was turned towards her

It was the feeling of hot air blowing on the skin of her neck that Normani realized Y/N was behind her

"I am so hard for you right now" Y/N husked which only confused the singer

"Y/N you're drunk. You need to shower and go to bed" Normani said as she turned around to face the French woman

A gasp slipped out between her lips when Normani saw the little to no distance between them. Y/N's button down shirt which was half way undone was doing Normani no justice

Her heart was telling her to lean in for a kiss but her brain told her the opposite. Normani silently thanked God that Y/N stepped away from her

The French woman started to get undressed right before Normani. The singer started to get uncomfortable and went to give Y/N her privacy however, the taller woman of the two stopped her

"Stay. Please" she said

Normani stayed and accompanied the French woman as she took a cold shower. The singer couldn't help but to let her eyes rake over Y/N's body.

Her eyes widened when she saw Y/N's semi hard member going soft under the cold shower

'She's wasn't lying when she said she was hard' Normani thought 'Damn she's big'

Normani had to turn away from the sight until Y/N was done. After her shower, Y/N casually dried off and walked into her bedroom before flopping on to her bed face first

The singer approached the drunk woman to tell her to get dressed but Y/N was already knocked out

~》

The siblings took their last day in Paris to tour the city for the last time. Of course for Normani it was her first time in Paris so they showed and introduced her to the different places the city had

"Paris is truly beautiful. I can see why you hesitated to leave" Normani stated as they looked up at the Eiffel tower

Since it was late, Anaïs was back at home sleeping while Y/N and Normani went on and walk which lead them to that point in the city

"It really is. But it's not as beautiful as you are" Y/N admitted

Normani finally leaped into her fate and gently pulled Y/N down into a kiss. The kiss was sweet and innocent like any first kiss but it was quickly broken apart by a voice Y/N knew very well

"J'ai entendu dire que tu étais de retour en ville, j'ai dû venir voir par moi-même (I heard you were back in town, had to see for myself)" a man in his mid forties said "I see you've moved on"

Y/N pulled away from Normani's lips to turn to her ex's father. Normani too turned to face the person who interupted them
