Rock the Boat

A week later.....

They're all out on Layne's boat, lounging and fishing, as Dinah complains about not being able to catch anything because 'Mowgli here keeps calling upon her fucking ancestors to help her cheat!' Weekends are Normani's favorite time because it means she gets to spend more time with Y/n - more than what little time they spend when the girls come over to the Y/LN's for dinner a few nights during the week. This past week was different, though. Y/n had practically taken up residence at the apartment - she cooked meals and would often bring Normani lunch during the day while she was at school. At night, Y/n would sit and watch the brown girl sketch or paint, sometimes even volunteer to be her model or canvas if needed. Sure, Normani had been nervous leaving Y/n to her own devices in the apartment. But she'd come home one day to a spotless apartment, her laundry washed and hung up as well as her sheets being washed and put back on. On Wednesday she came home to find out Dinah was already with Layne on an 'all-night date' and Y/n already had a warm bath prepared for the both of them. Despite what Normani was afraid of, their budding romance was not actually filled with nothing but sex. The sex was good - hell, it was phenomenal - but the brunette was a big fan of quality time and for them that meant things like Y/n rubbing lotion on her after a shower or bath or painting her fingernails and toenails while Normani would read whatever book Y/n was interested in at the time. In the span of a week, they had managed to slip into habits that were eerily similar to how they had been with each other before.

Right now, celebrating her birthday morning on the water with a few of her favorite people, she's positioned herself on the cushioned bench beside the door to the cabin with her sketchbook out. She works on a sketch of Y/n who's standing directly in front of her, fishing off the right side of the back of the boat. She bites her lip in concentration as she tries to get the details of the brunette's smile just right, and she blushes when she looks up to see the object of her affections staring at her. The girl quickly snaps her head back to focus on her fishing line in the water, but Normani can see the beginning of a blush on her face as well. She's so fucking adorable.

The boat rocks back and forth and she watches as Y/n reels in an empty line, deciding to call it a day while Dinah and Layne try a few more. She flips the cover of her sketchbook back over the pages and follows the brunette into the small cabin.

"So, you gonna give me my birthday spankings now or later?" she asks hearing the laugh that follows.

"Are spankings what you want, Normani?" Y/n quips. "Because I already got your gift and I'd hate to have to return it."

"I'll accept both, thank you." the brown girl giggles. "I'm looking forward to getting a birthday kiss tonight, too."

"Oh really?" the girl smirks, "Who are you expecting that from?"

You, Asshole.  "Just someone special....you know.."

"And what if they don't kiss you?" the brunette asks, testing the limits. "Will your birthday be ruined, then?"

"It will be sufficiently less enjoyable, yes." Normani tuts.

"Then I hope they kiss you.." Y/n says as she moves towards her, wrapping her arms around her waist.

"They better," the brown girl warns, "Or they definitely won't be reaping the benefits of Birthday Sex."

The brunette surprises her, lifting her onto the small side table just inside the cabin door. "You better watch that mouth of yours, I don't take kindly to threats."
