Normani was seated in front of the desktop while Ally was on a laptop in the papasan. They worked in a comfortable silence, tapping at the keyboards was the only sound.

When Normani sighed and sat back, she looked at three different rough drafts of a logo for her dance studio. Normani asked Lauren to design them, seeing as Lauren is a talented artist. Normani had given Lauren the general description of Normani's studio name and pretty much gave her free reign to do whatever Lauren felt was best.

The first logo was the words 'Hamilton's Dance Company' in a circle with the sillohuette of a girl in an arabesque. The second was simple, the letters HDC were big, 'Hamilton's Dance Company' written below in a smaller font. The third was the same concept as the first one, except instead of the girl, there was one ballet shoe and one sneaker.

"Ally," Normani broke the silence.

Ally stopped typing and looked up, "yeah?"

"What do you think about these?" Normani rolled a little to the left to show the logos on screen.

"Wow those are really nice, first of all," Ally said. She placed her laptop to the side and got up, standing in front of the desktop. Normani rolled behind her and pulled Ally into her lap.

"I like the first and the last the most. I mean, I like the second one but it doesn't scream 'Normani' like your logo should," Ally started.

"No one screams 'Normani' like you do," Normani smirked slightly, her hands snaking around Ally's waist. Ally rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"The first one is nice but I feel like the second one shows the diversity of the studio, you do intend on holding classes for different dance styles, right?" Ally asked.

"Yeah, that's the plan," Normani nodded.

"Then I think you should go with the last one so that people understand that it isn't just ballet that you teach," Ally said.

"Thank you baby, you're the best," Normani said. Ally leaned back into Normani and it reminded her of when she and Normani were in opposite positions.

"I know," Ally smiled sideways at Normani. Normani chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"Do you want to go check it out?"  Normani asked.

"What? The studio?" Ally inquired.

"Yeah, they put the floors in, so it isn't much but I want you to see it," Normani said, leaving soft, open kisses on Ally's neck.

"Okay, that's cool," Ally said, her eyes fluttering close.

"I'm tired of working," Normani muttered against Ally's skin.

"Me too," Ally said, gripping Normani's thigh. Normani smirked and got up with Ally still in her arms. Ally squealed as Normani took her into their bedroom.

"Let's go walking tonight," Normani said from the kitchen. It was late afternoon, they hadn't planned on going for that long but Normani liked to get carried away.

"You think I can walk?" Ally asked with raised eyebrows from the couch.

Normani chuckled, "okay okay, tomorrow."

Ally nodded, "tomorrow."

"If we don't have more sex tonight," Normani muttered, pulling the steak from the oven.

"If we do I'll be bed ridden for a week," Ally added, scrolling through Netflix. Normani laughed.

"I'm just good," Normani shrugged, cutting the steaks.
