Think about the Mail! (Camren)

Chapter 14

Flashback

Normani the poet.

Normani and Dinah were sitting on the floor of Normani's new room at the Jauregui house. She had been there for nearly a week now and as the days went by without so much as a phone call from her parents or her two brothers she decided to just not think about them anymore mostly because it hurt too much.

She didn't mind living with Lauren and her mom, she got her own room, they let her do her own thing and she didn't have to constantly have her guard up. For the most part Lauren and Normani got along and Clara was always nice but sometimes late at night she would let her memories invade her mind and she would miss her mother's hugs and the sense of being a part of a family.

The two girls were going through their lines for the upcoming performance of Rocky Horror. Normani was excited not only because they were doing one of her all-time favourite shows but because she got to sing the opening number.

"I don't get this paly Mani." Dinah spoke as she looked up from her script.

"It reminds me of that weird poem we had to read in English where none of the words made sense and it didn't even rhyme"

"Ok look Brad and Janet are engaged; they want to go see their old friend but they get a flat tyre so they need to get to a phone." Normani tried to explain.

"Yeah I get that but then it gets all confusing  I mean I've never even heard of a planet called Transsexual. Is that the one after Mickey's dog?" Dinah asked.

"No, Britt it's not a real plane, it's just a story. It's make believe."

"Oh I still don't get it. Are you sure it's not just one long poem in disguise? And they turned it into a movie to trick everyone into watching and liking poetry?"

"What's you beef with poetry?" Normani asked a little amused.

"It's confusing, like recipes do you think they're related?"

"Mmm probably not."

"Oh, well I only like the ones that rhyme or if they're funny."

"Well what about nursery rhymes you like them they're poems."

"Nu uh!" Dinah looked horrified.

"Yeah how about humpty dumpty sat on the wall humpty dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put humpty together again. That rhymed."

"You know nowhere in that does it ever mention that Humpty was an egg. So why does like every book draw him as an egg?" Dinah asked.

"I guess I never thought of that."

"See poems are confusing."

"Ok well what about Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockleshells and pretty maids all in a row."

"Well now that's just silly because how do maids help a garden grow? You're not doing a good job of making me like poetry Maniny."

"Alright how about Rock a bye baby on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all."

"That's just disturbing how can a poem about the death of a poor innocent child be a lullaby?"

Normani just looked lost for words.

"Ok how about this one Jack and Jill wen-"

"I know that one Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pale of water, poor Jill forgot to take her pill and now they have a daughter!" Dinah finished with a big smile.

"Uh I haven't heard that version before."

"That's the only one I like I doubt you can find another one for me." Dinah sighed.

Normani sat there for a long while when suddenly she smirked as she took the script from Dinah's hands and slowly crawled towards the blonde.

"Roses are red, violets are blue, you have a great rack and a nice ass too." Normani spoke in a husky voice as she checked out Dinah's body the blonde girl gulped at the way Normani was looking at her.

Just as the African-American reached Dinah's lips she finished.

"But the roses are gone and the violets are dead so take off our clothes and get into my bed."

As she finished she captured the blonde girl's lips in a searing kiss only stopping when air became an issue.

Dinah had a huge smile on her face.

"I like that one." She mumbled before she tore off the top of her Cheerio's uniform and pulled Normani in for another kiss.
