My Baby You'll Be (Laurmani)

7

"What does this mean?" Normani questioned as they both laid there staring into eachothers eyes.

They both were still on a high from what just took place. The Sparks, the fire they both felt as their lips passionately pressed against eachothers had them both yearning for more.

However they haven't touched eachother since the kiss. Both were equally timid and nervous. This was such new territory for them, having the other one know they felt.

Lauren had one hand propped up behind her head and the other hand under the covers, timidly playing with the hem of her night shorts.

Normani laid similar but instead her free hand was softly scratching at her thigh. The nerves were wrecking for both of them. But it's safe to say Lauren was far more nervous.

She has literally waited over a decade for this. For Normani to know how she felt. For Normani to possibly feel the same way.

When taking her to prom the Latinas only intentions were to make Normani happy and for them to enjoy a fun night together. But this was by far the best thing that could've happened. Hearing Normani express her feelings.

However, what Normani said hinted to Lauren that she wasn't sure. Since Normani said 'thoughts that I shouldn't be thinking' Lauren knew that the brown girl was confused about her feelings. So she didn't want to rush or ruin anything.

After a pause gathering her thoughts, Lauren finally felt the courage to feel some physical contact with Normani again.

She reached out to grab her hand "This can mean whatever you want it to mean" lauren said finally answering her bestfriends question and giving her a small smile.

Normani didn't respond so she continued "I want you to know that I've been obsessed with you since we were five" Lauren spoke and chuckled. She wanted to change the mood a little and break down some nerves but also she was embarrassed by her own words. She was going to say in love instead of obsessed but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Normani giggled bringing her free hand up to her face palming her own forehead "I know"

Lauren blushed "Stop! I wasn't that obvious"

"Yes, yes you were." Normani said grinning "Anything I wanted you gave it to me, remember you was gonna let me have your bike that day? And the time when-"

"Oh god" the Latina shook her head "I was whipped". She was happy that the conversation was flowing again.

"You are whipped" Normani said poking her nose and Laurens scrunched up face caused them both to laugh.

"Seriously though..  I don't know exactly what my feelings toward you mean" Normani sighed "I just had to get them off of my chest. That kiss was nice by the way." She smiled "I didn't know you had it in you Lolo"

The brown girl responded this way because she didn't know how else to. She thought making a slight joke out if it would make it easier for them.

Lauren started getting a little discouraged. Maybe Normani was just testing the waters with her feelings. Maybe Laurens kiss actually wasn't good enough to have Normani hooked.

"Normani.. What do you want from me?" She said taking the brown girls hand that was still tight in her grip and bringing it around her neck so that Normani could hold her. She would rather have it there, so she could feel closer to her.

The mood changed into a more calmer, serious one.

Normani liked having her hand there too. Without even knowing or paying much attention to it she started playing with the baby hairs on the back of Laurens neck as she spoke "I want you to stay the way you are Lauren, don't stress this. Even though we kissed it doesn't mean we have to force a relationship on ourselves"
