Vanessa's POV

I'm casually laying next to Normani, basking in her warmth while she sleeps. I shift to face her, and she wraps her arms around me tighter.

"I love you."

I open my eyes to meet hers, as she smiles softly. I get out of bed to look out of the window to see the sun just rising, in the middle of the sky, my hands lightly gripping the window sill as I sit on my knees. I feel Normani's arms wrap around my waist, so I move back into her chest. I can see the moonlight glowing off of her skin, and that's when I remember that she said something.

"Oh, I love you too." I chuckle.

She laughs softly. "I was starting to think that you hadn't heard me, or you were ignoring me."

"I zoned out, sorry."

"It's fine princess." She giggles.

"Why are you awake?" I ask, turning in her arms to face her.

"I could ask you the same thing." Normani giggles. "Did I wake you up?"

"No, did I wake you?"

"Not at all." Normani says, shaking her head.

The last thing I hear is her softly singing.
'Cause I never knew, I never knew
You could have moonlight in your hands
'Til the night I held you
In the moonlight
Moonlight

"Wake up munchkin." Camila says, shaking me slightly. "Munchkinnn-"

"Fine fine fine." I groan, sitting up, and making the others laugh.

"That's Camila for you, annoying and energetic at 7am." Ally laughs.

I reluctantly get up to get in the shower, and don't realize until afterwards that I didn't put on a shower cap, so my hair is curly. I go put on clothes and try to comb it, to no avail. If you don't have curly hair, you don't know the struggle. If you do, I salute to you.

"Ally!"

"What?!" She replies.

"Come flat iron my hair!"

I can faintly hear her groan, but it's okay. She loves me so much she'd do it anyways.

"I'm here." She pads in, tiredly.

"I love you." I laugh.

"Whatever." Ally laughs also, before doing it.
