When The Clock Strikes Midnight (Norminah)

Chapter 4

(Normani's POV)

I find myself at this clock, again. I have trouble falling asleep at night, so I always take a walk, and I always end up here. It's just nearing 12, so I should be heading home soon. I start walking, but then I hear foot steps running towards me. I quickly spin around, and as soon as I do, I am engulfed in a huge hug. I started to freak out a little, but then I smelled it.Her smell.

"Dinah? What are you doing here?"I asked, wrapping my arms around her.

She chuckles,"I couldn't sleep at all so i decided to take a walk, how about you?"

"Same. We kind of have the same problem don't we?"I laugh.

"Seems that way,yes," Dinah says, smiling at me. " So I realized that i don't really know that much about you, Normani."

I don't know what to tell her. Maybe I should start off with the fact that im a lesbian, thats kind of important.

"Well, Im from Houston Texas, I'm an only child, and im a lesbian." I said, getting nervous for her reaction. "How about you?"

Dinah was kind of speechless. But very happy.

"Well I grew up here, I have A LOT of siblings and family, and I too am a lesbian," Dinah says. Normani smiles, looking at Dinah, and at that moment, the huge clock chimes 12 times.

"I think I should get going, but I'll see you tomorrow at school?" I asked.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow, goodnight," Dinah says, smiling.

"Night." I say as i turn on my heel, and start heading home.

( Dinah's POV)

It felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. She's gay. I walk home smiling, looking foward to tomorrow.

(Next day)

I walk into school, and immediately I see Normani. A smile instantly creeps up on my face and butterflies erupt in my stomach. She smiles back at me, and I swear my heart stopped beating for a split second.

"Ready for the day?" I ask. She nods, and we walk into homeroom together.

It's the end of the school day, and it honestly goes by really fast with Normani. But now that its time to go home, I don't want to leave her.

"We should hang out today." I say.

"Yess we totally should," Mani says, as we walk to my car. She took the bus to school, so im driving her.

"Where to?" I ask, as I pull out of the school parking lot.

"How about the movies? I really want to see Dont Breath," She says, getting excited. I am pretty excited too, I love scary movies.

"Okay, to the movies we go."

During the movie, Normani kept jumping at the scenes in the movie. Each jump she would get closer, until she was wrapped around my arm.

"Come on, it's not that scary." I say, teasing her a little.

"Dude, he's fucking blind and can sense everything. Thats creepy." She says, snuggling closer to me.

I don't mind that shes this close, in fact im really enjoying it.

The movie is over, so we head out to the car.

"So this was kind of like a date huh?" She says, smirking.

"Yeah I guess you can call it that." I said, smiling. "But for real though, you were really scared," I said, laughing.

She punched my arm," I was not it was just a little creepy." She argues with me, pouting.

" Hmhm, whatever you say."

I drive into her drive way, and wait for her to get out, but she doesn't.

"So, are you just gonna sit there or-"

Mid sentence, she grabs my face and pulls me into a kiss. Her lips literally felt like a cloud, and they were so plump and full. I immediately kiss back, putting my hand on her cheek to draw her closer. She then pulls away, her hair a little messy, and her lips swollen.

"You know, I really like you." She said.

"I really like you too," I say, smiling.

"Well, I should get going, I had a really amazing night." She says, kissing my cheek and opening the door for her to get out.

"Me too, see you tommorow," I tell her, waving. She waves back and heads into her house. As im driving to my house, I can't help but smile really hard the whole way. I walk into my house with a smile on my face, for the 3rd night in a row.
