You Go Down Smooth

Surprise Yourself

12:17pm - Normani: stopped at a cafe having lunch. haven't made it to the beach house yet. Lo's too hungry to go on. we have to quell the raging beast within.

12:18pm - Normani: current song on my phone is.....fool - borns, btw <3

12:20pm - Heda: Oooh, I like that song! What are your plans for tonight?

12:22pm - Normani: party tonight :) and then a late night phone call with u.

"Lo, for the last time, Gina's getting directions now. The party's not until 8. Drop it!" Chris and Lauren have been arguing for the past 20 minutes that they've been seated at this cafe on the beach.

"Chris, I don't want to get lost! I plan on pre-gaming before I get to a party with a bunch of strangers. I wanna make sure I'm fully loaded before people approach me." she argues, shoving a piece of Mango from her fruit-cup into her mouth.

"As if people would ACTUALLY approach you with that resting bitchface of yours." His retort only fuels her hate-fire.

"Fuck you, chris. I'm here because of you. I'm just trying to make it as enjoyable as possible."

"Well....you brought plenty to keep you busy," he says with a smirk, gesturing to Camila and Lucy.

"Yes, big brother, I brought my partners. We're a team. A package deal. Like those fucking packs of plastic silverware. And you know what, chris, I'm the knife. So keep it up!

12:25pm - Heda: Oooh, late night phone call? Are you trying to seduce me, Miss Kordei?

12:26pm - Normani: bitch, i might be <3 jk

"Normani, you're going to the party, right? Dinah said she wasn't sure if you'd go or just stay at the house and unpack..." 

She looks up to see Chris looking at her, his question lingering in the air between them.

"Duh, I'm going. When have you seen me turn down free alcohol??"

"Atta girl, Kordei! That's what I like to hear! Alright! Everybody ready?"

"TO THE BEACHHOUSE!!" Dinah yells from her seat next to jasmine. "I'm ready to find my spot in the sand and unwind!"

12:28pm - Heda: Somebody's getting fresh ;) Watch yourself ma'am.

12:28pm - Normani: come at me, heda!

Normani didn't even notice him until she heard the clanging of the chair against the table. She glanced up to notice she had almost ran into him - Thank God he'd been paying attention. She smiled at him, his forest green eyes were wide and staring at her, his short tight chestnut colored curls, a wide toothy grin that surprised her as much as his presence there. He's not bad to look at, but he seems far too cocky for her taste, and she just keeps thinking about how she really does adore that impossible grey-green shade of Y/n's eyes.

"Sorry, I....I should have been watching where I was going." she tried.

But he offered nothing back to her as he inched between her and the table, making his way past and towards the counter and the girl behind it. 

She's gorgeous. Long amber colored hair, highlights strewn throughout, and her skin is perfectly tan - Normani's sure she has no tan lines at all. Her eyes are a light brownish hazel, her lips are plump and soft in appearance, and her teeth are flawlessly straight. She has tiny diamond studs lining her right ear - from lobe all the way up to the top of the cartilage before it curves back to meet her head. Her ear lobes are stretched and she has white silicone looking tunnels in. Her nose is pierced - again, a tiny diamond stud resting there on her left nostril. They act like a couple - he leans over the counter to kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear. She stares at him, eyebrows raised and mouth gaping, like he's just said something incredibly inappropriate but she kind of likes it. And then both sets of eyes are trained on Normani.
