Third Person POV

A Frisbee was thrown and hit Normani on her upper arm which caused the singer's eyebrows to furrow as she looked around the dressing room

Ana ran in and said, with a grin on her face "I'm so sorry, I was playing with my sister and I was about to catch the frisbee but it was too high and I feel bad because you're a superstar and I don't want to be sued"

Not long after Y/N walked in saying "We're sorry about the Frisbee just now, I hope you are not hurt"

A smile made its way to Normani's face as she realized those were the words of third first conversation but it soon turned into a grin as she realized she was face to face with Y/N

Let's recap shall we?

✔✅✔✅✔

"5 minutes 'til show time people!" The tour manager yelled as he walked by the dressing rooms backstage

Normani had just laced up her boots and stood to her feet just as she got the alert

"tu vas faire du très beau. N'oubliez pas de vous amuser pendant que vous le faites. (you are going to do very well. Remember to have fun while you do it.)"

Normani grinned at Y/N's voice note which she just received

The singer had just confessed that she was a little nervous and Y/N was too busy to call so she left a voice note to help calm the dark-skinned woman down a little bit

She had to use the French translator to translate the message and when she did, she grinned even more

"Let's go people let's go!" The tour manager yelled as he walked by each door in the hall and knocked aggressively

"You ready?" Paula asked as they made their way to the door

"Yeah" Normani answered, her grin never leaving her face

With that, Normani and the crew started to pile out of their dressing rooms and started to make their way to the wings of the stage

"New York how you feeling?" Normani asked as she stepped out of the shadows and on to the stage

The crowd cheered and screamed on top of their lungs the minute they heard Normani's voice over the microphone

The minute Normani started her first song the cheers only got louder

About 30 minutes in, Normani looked down into the crowd and saw a familiar face

"Hey Ana" she said into the mic after singing the last part of one of her songs

Anais grinned before she started screaming and tugged at Y/N's arm who was wearing a hat to hide her face from anyone on the stage

The hat did its job because Normani was unable to detect Y/N in the crowd

Beyonce and Megan were also there singing and dancing in the crowd next to Anais

Once the show ended, Y/N, Ana, Megan and Beyonce made their way backstage with help from Zendaya and Dinah who were backstage with the singer

The four women made their way backstage and greeted Dinah and Zendaya before they were lead to Normani's dressing room which brings us to the current situation

Normani ran into Y/N's arms and luckily the French woman was able to catch her before she could fall

Everyone in the room stood still except for the people who actually knew of Y/N and Normani's situation which were Anais and Dinah

The polynesian stared at the reunion with a happy yet not so happy glare

She was indeed jealous however, she had to remember that Normani is her best friend and she need her support even if she thought it was wrong in the moment

Beyoncé and Megan were both shocked at the scene before them as Y/N had not shared a single detail as to who she was seeing/dating

Y/N had always been private about her love life even with her first love, her mother had no idea until they were announcing their one year Anniversary

Normani wiggled out of Y/N's arms when she remembered the room full of people

She blushed when she saw all eyes on her as if she hadn't just finished performing in front of thousands of people

Y/N looked down at the singer with nothing but admiration with a smile on her face

"Uh, well done everyone. Today was the first day of tour and I can't wait for the rest of the tour and to spend more time with you all. You guys go ahead and freshen up so we can head to the hotel or wherever you plan on going. I have to freshen up as well not to mention a bitch is tired" Normani said loosening up the tension in the room

Her crew chuckled and started to pile out of the dressing room leaving just the friends in the room

"Y/N is the one in the photo?" Beyonce asked once the door closed

"Really!?" Megan asked

"I been knew that. That was Y/N's favorite jacket in the photo not to mention the hair" Anais blurted as she scrolled through her phone unphased

Normani chuckled nervously while Y/N just shrugged with a grin on her face as she started at Normani

"Let me go shower real quick" the singer said quickly excusing herself from the conversation

✔✅✔✅✔

"...and we just now are seeing each other since then. So it's nothing serious right now" Normani explained as she packed her stuff to leave the arena

Beyoncé and Megan were bombarding Normani with questions which she honestly answered

Soon they decided to call it a night and they took Ana home with them since she had school the next day so they had to catch their flight

Dinah and Y/N stayed back and Normani could feel the tension between the two

"Okay it's clear you are uncomfortable with something. Did I say something or do something?" Y/N asked and Normani abruptly stopped what she was doing to see what was about to go down

"I'm just annoyed with myself that's all" Dinah answered with a shrug as she glared at Normani

Normani gave her best friend a look that spoke for itself 'not now'

"Wanna talk about it?" Y/N asked oblivious to the situation

"I'm just pissed. I have been hinting to you for years and the one tim you see her you instantly fall for her!" The polynesian snapper as she spoke to Normani

"But aren't you the one that set us up on the 'date'?" Y/N asked standing to her feet as she saw Dinah doing so

"Yeah bu-"

"That simply means you're attracted to her, whether it is her character or something else but you don't see her the way I do. If you did you would've made a move years ago" Y/N fished after interrupting the polynesian's answer

"And your gonna side with her aren't you?" Dinah scoffed as she turned to Normani

"How was I supposed to know you were interested?" Normani asked

"Seriously? All those times we cuddled and I compliment you and flirt with you all for you to run home and kiss me trying to prove that Y/N is the one you are in love with!?" Dinah yelled

Y/N's head snapped towards Normani who stood in her spot trying to come up with something to say

"euh, je vais juste... y aller. Tu peux m'appeler quand c'est bon (uh, I'm just fonna... go. Call me when whatever this is is, is smoothed out)" Y/N said before leaving the dressing room
