The Checklist ✔ [BOOK 1 & 2]

Third Person POV

"You walked out on me" Normani spoke as soon as Y/N answered the facetime call

The two had made it to their respective hotels and were speaking on the phone about the dressing room matter

They had both showered and were getting ready for bed

"You two needed to discuss whatever that was going on" Y/N answered calmly

"Oh, like we need to talk about you using me as a rebound?" The singer asked

Y/N froze and looked at her cellphone in disbelief

"I did what?" She asked

"Where are you?" Normani asked

"...why? No, let's talk about it, I used you as a rebound? Seriously?" Y/N asked with her eyebrow raised

"So you got amnesia now? You admitted it back in Paris!" Normani yelled getting angry

"I never said you were a rebound. I would never do that to you or anyone ever" the French woman stated still keeping her calm and soothing tone

"She was you but the not so famous version of you. Does that ring a bell?"

"That's what we doing? Okay. Normani U was drunk and grieving" Y/N emphasized

"You were grieving over your mother not your lover"

"Where are you?" Y/N asked sitting up in her hotel room bed

"Good night Y/N" Normani said

"Normani don't play with me. Where the hell are you?"

Instead of answering, Normani hung up the phone and let out a frustrated and angry scream into her pillow

She couldn't sleep, the argument between her and Dinah as well as the conversation just now were replaying in her head simultaneously

Approximately 35 minutes later there was a knock on Normani's
hotel room door

She fought the smile when she saw it was Y/N on the other side through the peephole

"I know you're by the door Normani" Y/N admitted as a sigh left her lips

"Open the door please. I just wanna talk" she added shortly after when she didn't hear any other movement

"How'd you find me?" Normani asked softly

"I'm a police lieutenant" was all Y/N said

"Right" Normani said softly and she rolled her eyes before opening the door

The two stood looking at each other as if it was the first time seeing each other in years

"I can't stand you right now" Normani said breaking the silence

"Then I can sit. Maybe you'll be able to deal with me then" the French woman said a chuckle leaving her chest

"You are so corny" Normani giggled before pulling Y/N into a hug

She wrapped her arms around Y/N's neck while Y/N wrapped her arms around Normani's waist as she sighed in content

"I missed you" Y/N admitted finally getting to express her feelings without people around

"I missed you too" the singer answered as she inhaled Y/N's scent of Shea butter

They stayed like that until Normani pulled away and closed the door, bolting it behind her

"You're staying the night" Normani said

Y/N licked her lips, slightly turned on by the authoritative tone in Normani's voice

Normani kept eye contact as she made her way over to the bed but before she could do that, Y/N pulled her flush against her body to capture the singer's lips with hers

Normani's POV

I kissed back almost immediately, it was slow and sweet but obviously we both wanted more since we both deepened the kiss

Soon we were by the bed and I pushed her so that she was seated on the edge of the bed before I resumed our heated make out session

I straddled her lap still locking lips with her, my hands started roaming her body and made its way under her shirt feeling on her abs as I sucked on her bottom lip

Her hands were on my waist until they got to my ass gripping them making me moan softly into her mouth

My hands moving on their own accord before they were at the waist band of her sweats and I started to feel something rubbing against my southern area as I grind my hips into her making her moan and me to pull away from the kiss

Once again we were caught in a trance. My eyes held her y/e/c eyes as my thumb caressed her cheeks and her bottom lip

"Do I kiss you like Noelle?" I asked remembering our little argument over facetime

"I'm gonna be honest with you. I never meant to hurt your feelings, I was drunk at the moment and I know that's not an excuse but I need you to know I would never hurt you intentionally. I didn't mean to make you feel like a rebound. You are more than that to me. I haven't smiled or laughed as much as I do when I'm around since Noelle died. I know I can't take back what I said but I really do have deep feelings for you. She might've had the same characteristics as you but she's not you, I really do think about you all the time, believe it or not I do see a future with you. I know I'm moving too fast cause we aren't even official yet and I-"

"Yes" I said said interrupting her

"Huh?" She asked

"I'll be your girlfriend but I wanna take this slow. I've never done this before and now that the media knows that I'm 'dating' a female, I don't want to broadcast it just yet. Let's just keep it between us... well Beyoncé, Megan and Ana already knows so I guess they count" I giggled

"Then I guess you are my girlfriend" she grinned which caused me to grin as well

"I am. And you're mine" I said before leaning in to kiss her lips once more
