"I think I'm in love with you."
Normani's mouth went dry and her body practically froze as she looked at Beyoncé. She couldn't have said- but she did. But...
"Did I scare you?" Bey questioned which knocked Normani out of her thoughts, Normani took a deep breath before sitting up. The professor mirrored her actions and they starred at one another for a few seconds before Normani ended the awkward silence.
"You think you're in love with me?"
"No." Beyoncé sighed as she reached over to take Normani's hand in hers. They locked eyes and Beyoncé took breathed out. "I know, I know that I'm in love with you." She corrected.
"So we just skipped over the I love you, huh?" Normani half joked, looking down at their hands. She couldn't let herself believe that Beyoncé was in love with her.
"You don't believe me." Beyoncé chuckled humorlessly, hurt laced in her voice as she released Normani's hand and scooted away. She knew she hurt Normani but she couldn't fathom to believe that Normani would think she'd make that up for the hell of it.
"Did I say that?"
"You didn't have to." Beyoncé scoffed, shaking her head a little. Part of her wanted to say fuck it, if Normani didn't wanna believe her then that was her own fault. The other half of her wanted to assure Normani that it was true and she could never lie to her.
"Look, hear me out-"
"You hear me out." Beyoncé interrupted. "Normani, I am in love with you. All of you, every part of you."
"How do you know that?"
"I can't get enough of you. You invade my thoughts 24/7, you're the first and last thing on my mind everyday. Every love song reminds me of you. I forget about the bad whenever I'm around you, I melt every time I look at you and I don't think I could ever live without you."
Normani stared at Beyoncé staring at her, Bey raised an eyebrow as she watched Normani's eyes water a bit. Normani leaped forward and fell into the arms of Beyoncé, wrapping her own around the older woman.
"No one has ever felt that way about me." Normani admitted quietly, Beyoncé looked down and swooned at the moist puppy dog eyes. She used her thumbs to wipe the tears away and cupped Normani's chin. "I think I'm in love with you."
"You think?" Beyoncé teased while wiggling her eyebrows causing Normani to giggle and shake her head.
"I know I'm in love with you."
Beyoncé smiled before pressing her lips onto Normani's and having the latter reciprocate her actions.

Normani looked at Blair with a slanted eyebrow as he attempted to mack on the waitress. Her face scrunched up as she sipped from her straw, he had to be the world's worst flirter.
"What?" He asked as he turned to look at Normani while the red head walked away from the table.
"Nothing." She lied, she had more important things to get at anyways. Like the Zendaya/Kehlani/Megan situation. "So, what should I do?"
"Tell her."
"Well duh, Blair. I don't know how to, like what do I say? 'Hey so remember that girl, Megan, turns out her and Kehlani are exes who still have some unfinished business.' That sounds terrible."
"That's exactly what you should say." Blair shrugged as he ate some of his fries while Normani groaned dramatically.
He was no help but there was no way she would've asked Ryan, that would be like asking for war. Ryan was protective of all of them by nature but her feelings for Zendaya would for sure worsen that and Normani wasn't trying to have all that drama.
