DÈJÁ VÛ -Norminah-

23

Dinah lies on Normani's bed with her hand behind her head, and her other hand drawing shapes and letters on the older girl's wrist.

Normani giggles at the ticklish feeling and pulls her arm away. "Dinah, what are you doing?" She asked her girlfriend whom looked to be lost in deep thought. Normani waved her hand in front of her face a few times before catching her attention.

"I'm sorry, what?" Dinah said.

Normani sat up in her spot on the bed next to the blonde. "What's wrong?" She asked with furrowed eyebrows.

The younger girl shrugged and proceeded to play with her fingers. Feeling eyes staring at her, she turned her head to meet her girlfriend's gaze. She sighed and rolled her eyes before sitting up in the bed as well. "Nothing's wrong."

Normani gave her a face that said that she wasn't falling for that. "No, really...nothings wrong. It's just....I've been thinking alot lately...about us."

"What about us? Are you trying to break up with me?" Normani asked defensively.

"No, no." Dinah quickly said with a playful giggle. "I would never do that. I've been thinking about getting promise rings or something that symbolizes our love for eachother."

Normani sighed, visibly relaxing at her girlfriend's words. "Well, what did you have in mind besides promise rings?" There was no problem with promise rings, but she felt they were really common and overused and that's not how Normani thought about their relationship at all.

"Um...I was thinking we could get matching ...tattoos." The last word was a whisper and Normani couldn't hear her.

"Matching what?"

"...Tattoos?" Dinah said, unsure of herself. She thought about this for a long time and she didn't really know how her girlfriend was going to take it. She knew how their parents were going to take it, but she figured that confrontation was for another day.

Normani scoffed and stood up from the bed. She began to pace her bedroom, throwing a glance in Dinah's direction a few times before shaking her head in disbelief.

"Okay, baby wait before you say anything, let me explain." Dinah said as she followed her girlfirend's actions and stood in front of her so she would stop pacing. "We could wait until after your 18th birthday so that-"

"No, Dinah! That will never work! Our parents would kill us before we could even pick the design out." Normani yelled in a whisper so that her parents wouldn't hear them from downstairs. "This is a bad idea."

"First off, I've already picked a design for us. Secondly, who cares about what they'll do afterwards? We'd already be inked up." Dinah tried to reason. Sensing that the older girl was still against the idea, Dinah took another step forward and grabbed a hold of her wrist, while her other hand rested on her waist. "Just hear me out a bit more. Please, babe?"

Normani rolled her eyes and huffed out in frustration. "Fine." Dinah did a small celebration before Normani interrupted. "but that doesn't mean that I'm agreeing to it."

"Okay, thats fine." Dinah said with a big smile.

She looked down at the wrist in her hand and pulled it up to where it was in the eyesight of both girls. "I was thinking an infinity sign on our wrists, left or right, it doesn't really matter to me."

Normani nodded with zero expression on her face. "Why an infinity sign?"

The blonde shrugged, "Because it means that our love is infinite and everlasting."
