Begging For You {Part Two}

Meanwhile, at the house, Dinah was laying there cuddling the pillow that smells like her baby. When she noticed something was missing- her stuffed animal! She sat up instantly, coughing right after. It burned her throat but she didn't care about that right now. She was on a mission and that said mission was to find Mr. Cuddles. She looked under the blankets but nope. He wasn't there. "Are you playing hide and seek with me Mr. Cuddles?" Dinah asked as she looked over to her side of the bed but no sign of him. Moved over to normani's side of the bed and looked over her side and still no sign of him. She pouts. When she crawled to the edge figuring she must have kicked him down this way. When she approached the edge of the bed, she looked around until she saw a little black paw peeking from underneath the bed. She grinned. Sniffling before reaching for him. For some odd reason, he seemed incredibly far away. She kept reaching and even moved forward. "Teddy...stop playing hide and seek, I want to cuddle," Dinah whimpered before coughing.

Normani packed the trunk with the groceries before closing the trunk door and pushed the kart where the others were at. She then steered back to the car, got inside the car, got settled, and then made her way to the house. She was mumbling to herself with the radio volume on low. "Who does he think he is? Worrying about my love life. He can do everyone a favor and stay away from me after all the damage he caused. He thinks he can just walk back in here like he runs stuff- well guess what.. he can't! I'm over him. I wish he would just leave. Go to another state. I don't want to see his darn face ever again." She murmured as she was just heated driving home. Ten minutes past and she pulled up in the driveway. Dinah leaned over more only to tumble over. She squealed but turned into a groan since she was now on the floor. She then looked over at her teddy bear, a smile appeared on her face as she grabbed him by his arm and brought him closer to her embrace. Normani parked her vehicle, popped the trunk and turned the engine off. She went to open the front door and propped it open as she began bringing in the bags. Dinah cuddled her teddy bear on the floor when she heard the door open and the footsteps downstairs. She thought "mani is home." When it hit her, she didn't even finish her lemon water. Her eyes widened and got off the floor and walked over to her side of the bed, sat down and took a deep breath. Before picking the glass up drinking it all. When she was done she gagged and shook her head. "Oh the things I do not to be killed," she said when she decided to go help normani even if she's instructed to go back to bed. Normani kept bringing the bags in. She had almost all of them inside. Dinah got up and slid her house slippers on before proceeding out of the room, down the hallway, and down the staircase leaving her teddy bear on the bed. Normani was about to walk back outside when she heard Dinah coming down the stairs. "No, go back upstairs. I got it." She instructed. Dinah groans. "I haven't even gotten down the fifth step yet before you told me to go back to bed...I just wanna help mani"

"I said I got it," Normani said walking out of the house. Dinah frowns and turns around slowly heading up the stairs. Normani got the last of the bags, closed the trunk with her free hand before heading inside walking into the kitchen placing the items next to the others on the countertop. she went to lock her car and then closed and locked the top and bottom of the front door. Dinah was sitting on the top step. Normani goes to check on her when she heads up the stairs she saw her. "I thought I said go back to bed?" Normani said sternly with her hand on her hip. "Nah because I just wanted to help you but you shoved me back. Not only that, but you are mad about something and you're kind of taking it out on me by your tone." Dinah said crossing her arms. "So you either tell me why you are upset and maybe I'll listen." She states with a raised eyebrow. "Look, it's nothing-" Normani starts out by saying but Dinah rolled her eyes and coughed looking in a different direction. "Did you drink your lemon water?" Normani tried changing the subject. "Damn it's that bad you are trying to avoid having the conversation?" She asked. Normani sighed. "No...it's just when I think of it...it pisses me the fuck off so of course, I'm going to avoid it." She claimed. "I don't care at this point. What's wrong? Was someone rude....you ran into an old friend...an ex...or something of the sort?" Dinah questioned causing normani to just give in. "Yeah...I ran into my ex...Joseph." Normani finally confesses. "And what happened?" Dinah asked clearing her throat. "He recognized me and we started talking. He helped me bag the stuff up when he just started with the foolery. Acting like he never did anything...I told him I was in a relationship and he thought it was with a boy but I told him it was a girl- which led me to believe he was starting to be a jerk once again asking me since when did I start liking females...stuff like that. Just being the guy he has always been." Normani leaned against the wall. "Forget about him normani. You don't owe him anything. He doesn't like that you moved on and that's too darn bad. Now forget about him and become happy again. That's the only mood you are allowed to be in. It's all you deserve. On top of that, my throat burns." Dinah claimed. "And yes I did drink all the lemon water." Dinah stood up and heads up the stairs.
