Normani laughed as she scrolled through the comments. She always found it funny when people made assumptions about her life. It was funny because they were always so wrong. To be honest though, she didn't mind that people were assuming that her and Grant were together because that was something that she was craving deep down.

Sighing to herself, she puts her phone on the charger and gets out of bed. Her schedule had been clear this week due to her manger claiming that she "worked too hard and needed a break." Yeah, right.

Before she could take a step further, her phone began to ring. Grabbing it off the charger and not looking at who it was, she answered.

"Hello?"

"Hi mani."

She couldn't even believe who she was hearing.

"Josh? Are you kidding me?"

"Look, I know you blocked me so I got a new number so I could call you."

Before he could get another word in, she hung up and threw her phone on the bed. Upset, she storms to the bathroom and stops in front of the mirror.

There she stood, looking into her own soul. She looked tired but she had been spending her nights in the studio working on her debut album so that was understandable. Maybe a break was needed after all.

"Gosh why is this happening to me," she said quietly to herself, wondering why all of this was happening now.

Her next single was being released next week and there was no room for error.

Before she could dwell on it any longer, she heard her phone ring again. Bubbling with anger, she stormed from the bathroom, back into her room and answers the phone angrily.

"I don't know how many times I have to tell you, stop calling me! Are you insane?"

"Um, I'm sorry?"

She stops in her tracks. This wasn't Josh. She took the phone from her ear and looked at the name.

Grant Allen.

She really needed to start checking her phone before she answered.

"Oh my gosh Grant i'm sorry! I thought you were someone else."

"Well I feel bad for who ever that was meant for."

She could hear him chuckle on the other side of the phone. The sound of his voice made everything seem okay. Just for a second.

"I was actually calling you to congratulate you personally on your new song coming out. I know how hard you've been working these past few months."

By now, she was sitting at her vanity, twirling her dark hair between her fingers. What was happening to her? It felt like she was in middle school again having a crush.

"That really means so much coming from you. I can only imagine what people are going to think about the song but regardless of that, I'm proud of my work."

On the other side of the phone, Grant was sitting in his trailer all the way in Vancouver. He had just wrapped up filming a fight scene. As he prepared for the next one, he took the time to call Normani and congratulate her.

They were half way done with the season and he couldn't wait. As much as he loved The Flash, he couldn't wait to see Normani again. Maybe one on one this time.

"As you should be. I know so many people are ready to hear."

He began smiling to himself. Before he could get another word in, the door to his trailer opened.

"Grant let's go, we have to start filming the next scene."

He looked behind him to see Candice, already prepared for the next scene.

Sighing to himself, he turns back to say goodbye to Normani.

"Well, duty calls, I have to get back to kicking ass. I'll talk to you soon mani."

With that, he hung up the phone and sat in silence for a few seconds before Candice spoke again.

"I can't believe my best friend has you whipped like this," she said chuckling.

Maybe he was. But of course, he didn't mind it.

A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! See yall in the next one!
