Third Person POV

"This type shit have you wildin'
Last minute trips to the islands
Drip, drip, drip when you slide in
Fit, fit, fit, baby, right in
Don't hesitate when you
In it 'cause you know I like it" Normani sang into the mic as she rehearsed for her show in 3 hours

"Cut! Normani... what the hell are you doing?" Her choreographer asked once the music stopped

The dark-skinned woman threw her head back really not in the mood for a lecture

"You have a show to put on later and you're acting as if you're new to the choreography"

Normani would be lying if she said that she has been feeling energetic and excited for this tour

The truth is she has been locked in her room every chance she gets, with the media on her tail about her dating life, her mind going back and forth between Y/N and not knowing where her and Dinah stands at the moment was all too much for her

"Hey! Let's just call it the end of rehearsals she's drained, we all are. We've been on our toes all week" Demi said entering the arena just in time to save Normani from snapping

Without a word or glance, Normani left the stage and headed straight for her dressing room

Once she was inside the room she locked the door behind her and flopped down into her couch then stared at the ceiling looking at nothing

Her phone chimed notifying her of a notification on her cell phone. About 5 minutes after, she checked her phone to see it was a voicemail from Y/N

Normani hasn't spoken or seen the French woman since they parted ways at the airport

The singer brought the phone to her ear to listen to the voicemail

"Hey... uh, I know you are busy with your tour and all and I also know that you told me to give you space to clear your head or whatever but I just wanted to know if you're okay especially with you trending on Twitter and those stuff... I'm miserable... I just want to know you're okay and hear your voice." Y/N's raspy and soothing voice and tone filled Normani's ear

She didn't realize how much she missed Y/N's voice until she heard 'Hey'

"Aww she's in love...ew" Anais said interrupting her sister's speech

"taisez-vous et occupez-vous de vos affaires (shut up and mind your own business)" Y/N replied before giggling was heard from the 11 year old

Normani didn't know what was said just now but she chuckled as she thought that Y/N was arguing with Anais to leave her alone like siblings usually do

"As I was saying... I really miss you and you don't have to reply, well maybe you won't even get the chance to but yeah... I just wanted to tell you that I do miss you." The voicemail continued

Normani couldn't help the smile that made it's way to her face. She anxiously held her thumb over the dial button of Y/N's contact before she took the leap of faith

The dial tone could be heard all throughout the dressing room as she had placed her phone of speaker

Soon the ringing stopped and Y/N answered the phone

"Hey"

"Hi" Normani grinned even though Y/N couldn't see her

"How are you?" The french woman asked

"Honestly, I'm mentally exhausted. I want to go home but I can't because I have a job and I feel like everything has to be perfect even though I know no one isn't perfect but everyone seems to think I'm superwoman and I can do it all. My body is sore, I feel a headache coming-" a knock on her dressing room door interrupted Normani's venting

"Normani?! You have makeup and hair in 30 minutes" Paula stated from the other side of the door

"Okay!" Normani yelled

"And I have to get my hair and makeup started in the next 30 minutes" the singer said turning her attention back to the woman on the phone, a big sigh leaving her mouth

"One second, I'm gonna facetime you" Y/N stated before hanging up

Normani quickly checked the mirror to see if she was decent enough for facetime with her love interest

She was pleased and soon enough her cell started to ring with the facetime chime

"I look like a mess" Normani giggled

"Nan, tu es belle... si belle" Y/N answered (Nah, you're beautiful... so beautiful)

Normani playfully glared st her screen

"Did you just agree to me looking a mess?"

"What? No. I said you're beautiful" Y/N translated

A blush made it's way to her cheeks as she accepted the compliment from the French woman

"Thank you. So are you" Normani replied

"pourquoi merci (Why thank you)"

"I know merci is thanks or thank you. You gotta teach me French sometime" The singer spoke

"J'aimerais vous apprendre ma langue maternelle. Je pense que tu aurais l'air sexy en parlant français (I'd love to teach you my native language. I think you'd sound sexy speaking French) the French woman spoke

The two fell upon a comfortable silence as the two stared at each other from the screens of the cell phones

"Are you coming to my show today? Or any at all?" Normani asked breaking the silence

"Do you want me to come?" Y/N asked hoping she would say yes

"I wanna see you cum..." Normani muttered not thinking that Y/N heard

"Only if I get to hear you moan and scream my name" the French woman replied and watched as Normani's eyes go wide before her cheeks turned dark red

"I- uhm... fuck" Normani stuttered out as she couldn't think of a response at the moment

"Normani! It's time for hair and makeup hun!" Paula yelled

'Thank you Lord' Normani thought

"Uh, so I have to go now" The singer said shyly

"I understand. I'll let you go get ready for your show. Oh and by the way, I know you're gonna kill it tonight. You know what you're capable if and its nothing you've never done before. Just stay calm and focus, you got this babygirl" Y/N encouraged a reassuring smile plastered on her face which also caused normani to smile

"Merci" Normani answered

Y/N grinned and chuckled at Normani replying in French

"I'll talk to you later" Normanisaid before the French woman nodded her goodbyes and hung up

Normani stood to her feet feeling better than she did before she came in

She opened the door to let in her team before going to sit at her vanity mirror with a smile on her face
