Normani POV
"Can I see the white dress again?" I say to my stylist. Right now I'm reviewing a couple different looks for my performance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon tonight. I've decided to perform "Fair" since it really sets the tone for my debut album.
"I like the white with the wavy long hair honestly. It's soft and gives you that vulnerable but sensual look you're going for." Ashanti, my hair stylist, chimes in.
"I agree, it's simple, and it still gives you that soft movement. Plus you can still move in it. The black one might be too stiff." Sean, my choreographer, says.
"Okay let's try it on." I go into my dressing room and put on the black dress first and come out. "Thoughts?"
"It's definitely sexy but I agree with Sean. Way too stiff." Ashanti said.
"I agree." I nod and take a picture in the mirror and send it to my wife for her opinion. While I wait for her response, I change into the white dress and I am thoroughly impressed. "Okay, I love this one!"
"It looks even better on Mani! I told you!" Sean smiles.
"You were right once again. I have to give it to you!" Ashanti nods and walks over to fix my hair.
"Wait, let me send a pic to Y/n/n to see which one she likes." I grab my phone and text her a pic.
"This one is damn near see through, I'm sure this will be her favorite." Ashanti loosely curls pieces of my hair.
"It's a good thing she's not here actually. We wouldn't be able to keep her off of you." Sean chuckles.
"Shut up y'all!" I chuckle, knowing they're absolutely right. Y/n is at home with the girls. We've completely switched roles now that I'm preparing to tour and she's on her off season. I miss all three of them so much everyday, but I remind myself that I'm doing all of this for them. I want to make them proud. Just then, I get a text from Y/n.

I close my phone and allow my makeup artist to start my look for the night. I resume my 90s R&B playlist that was playing on my speaker and close my eyes. "One in A Million" by Aaliyah plays and we start to vibe.
A few hours later...
I'm all set backstage. My nerves begin to set in as I get mic'd up and put my earpiece in. It's been so long since I've performed and I really want this to go well. I feel someone tap my shoulder and I turn to see my manager.
"I was told to give this to you before you perform." She smiles, hands me a small card, and runs off backstage. I read the card and notice it's in Y/n's handwriting.
"Right about now you're probably nervous and thinking of all the ways it could go wrong. Just breathe. Take it all in. You've been working your ass off and preparing for this for months. Do what you do best and be yourself. Love, the Mrs."
