After a hit and miss at the club she works at, Normani immediately becomes intrigued by the woman who saves her. After several accidental meetings and pestering, she finds out her hero is a well known drug dealer. As crazy as it seems, this doesn't...
I say bye to Choie and Ally and make my way home, since Lauren lives close by I decide to call her. She doesn't answer so I ride down her block to see if she's home.
I see her get out the car with blood all on her and I pull over. I get out and walk up to her, grabbing her hand.
"It's not my blood" She mumbles before I can say anything
"Oh my gosh you're crying, it's not your cousin's right? Jesus not Mig-"
"It's not his, just wait till I get all this off" She sighs
She unlocks the door and I go into her bedroom as she goes into the bathroom. I take my shoes and jeans off and get comfortable under the covers.
She comes into the room after twenty minutes in a t-shirt and boxers with a towel wrapped around her head. She lies next to me and drapes her arm over my torso.
"So?" I ask
"It's all my fault" She mumbles
"What is? You're still not saying anything" I say
"They killed him cause of me"
"Wait, wait. HEW is out here dying?" I ask

"Normani" She whines
"Naahhh I'm baffled, you bullshitting? Is it Opposite Day?"
"Why the fuck would I joke about this?"
"Nigga I'm just saying! I'm honestly shocked! Like fucking shook!"
She tells me what happened when she went to his apartment and I hold her close to me.
"Oh shit, I'm sorry babe. That's terrible" I say
"It's my fault, I sh-"
"It's not your fault Lauren, don't say that. You didn't know that was gonna happen, you didn't even know you were that much of a target for them. It's not your fault, okay?"
She nods her head and I wipe my hands over her face. I continue to kiss her tears away and all over face pulling her closer. I give her a quick peck on the lips then hold her head against my chest.
Lauren pulls back blinking through tears and staring at me, I didn't question it as I stared deeply into her red eyes. After a beat, Lauren leanes in and softly presses a kiss to my lips, the kiss quickly became heated as Lauren slides her tongue in my mouth and pulls me on top of her. I let out small whimper as I attempt to pull away from her.
"Lo, we can't do this right now...at least not while you're hurting" I say
Lauren pulls me closer to her and grips me tightly. Her lips found their way back on mine and she bit my bottom lip roughly before letting go and pulling back. She pushed their foreheads together and breathed heavily as our breaths mingled together.
"Mani I need this" She mumbles then kisses me again
" I need you. I wanna love you every way possible. Now. Please babygirl."
After searching her eyes and running a hand through her now lightly sweaty and damp hair I gave in. If this would make Lauren happy then I'd do it.
