*FILLER*

Lauren's POV

I enter Miguel's room and plop on the bed next to him.

"Wassup?" He asks

"Oh cousin, she got to me" I sigh

"What do you mean?" He asks

"Normani, she got to me" I say

I turn over on my back and start telling him about last night while stare up at the ceiling.

*Flashback*

Normani and I have been friends for three weeks and she has been cracking me more and more. I don't like it but I love the feeling I get with her, I don't know if I'm starting to feel anything for her but I can't deny that I absolutely adore being with her.

'Sex Ain't Better Than Love' by Trey Songz comes on and I pull her in closer by the waist. She places her hands on my shoulders and we slowly move our bodies.

Sex in the air, no loving here
Soon as I get through, I'm outta there
And it feels so bad, but it felt so good
Wishing I could care, girl, I never could
But then I fell into good love
Didn't let me touch the ground
Now I see it clear that your heart is there
And all these other women, they just can't compare, girl, I know
Sex ain't better than love

I look into her eyes and before I know it, I'm sucked into a whole other world. I see and realize things I never did before, like how even though her eyes are dark brown they have this light brown fluorescent. Her eyes literally light up.

I find myself adoring her more and more each day while learning and appreciating different parts of her. I never want her out of my life, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have her, our connection is that strong already.

My heart starts pounding against my ears as everything hits me.

Oh my fuck, I like her a lot, lot

I'm broken out of my trance by laughter from Bryson and Miguel. I look over to them and see them playing around by the water.

"Hey water boys don't fall in!" I grin

"That was clever!" Bryson laughs

Kehlani taps me and sends me a smirk, she walks closer and whispers to me.

"How can you not see this?"

*Flashback Over*

"Well damn, you finally realized" He chuckles

"Don't do that" I frown

"And you called her an airhead? Sweetie that's you" He laughs

"She's not an airhead though, she's actuality involved, sense full, and passionate about things in this life" I say

"Just like you, a match made in Heaven" He says

"Being with her is Heaven" I mumble

"You are WHIPPED and nothing happened yet" He smiles

"You know her friends don't like me, only one that does is Ferg's girl" I say

"If I even try to get with her they might drop "sense" into her" I scoff

"You gon let that stop you? Ladies and gentlemen LJ is gon let this little issue stop her from getting what she wants" He says

"Shut up! Don't say that again" I say

"So what you finna do?" He asks

"I don't know yet but I'm not gonna do that"
