Is It Worth It? (Sequel to 12th Avenue)

NORMANI

Let me tell y'all something, I got beef with a bitch. So here I am with Lauren at Luke's block party and here comes the bitch who decided to kiss on mine.

"Mani-"

"I'm cool babe."

"Sure," Lauren says sarcastically to me.

"You keep quiet," I say.

"Baby, I can't just not talk to her. We still work for the same person," She says.

"Y'all ain't working now," I shrug.

"You're being petty for no reason, come on."

"You know what Lau-"

I don't even finish my sentence cause here the topic of discussion comes, cutting me off. This lil bi-

"Hey there L!" She smiles and goes in for the hug.

"Hey," Lauren says while hugging her back.

Fuck what I say and feel, huh?

I nod and clasp my hands together, okay then rebels.

I get out of the car before Lauren can finish parking and I hear her let out a long sigh. I walk into the house and straight to the bathroom, she got me fucked up. I strip out my clothes and take a long hot shower. I stay in there longer than intended, just to further de-stress myself. Whatever it is we're going through, this ain't it. Yes, I'm here for better or worse but this is something different and I know it ain't me tripping.

I wrap the towel around me and go into the bedroom to get moisturizer and clothes. I might as well get dressed in the bathroom cause I gotta wrap my hair up and everything. Plus, she ain't get the right to see this body tonight.

Once I'm done moisturizing my body, I put on a pair of underwear and a loose t-shirt. I put some products in my hair and tie it up in a ponytail, adding a bonnet to it.

The door opens and in comes Lauren with a pout on her face.

"Normani..."

I give her a fake smile, "Yes honey?"

"I'm-"

"No apologies, that's all you do."

She closes her mouth and nods.

I suck my teeth and roll my eyes, "Can you come up with something else?"

"Okay, what do you want me to say?" She asks.

"Nothing," I say.

"You obviously want me to say something cause you're obviously upset."

"If everything is so fucking obvious to you then you figure it out."

She stares at me then slowly starts to smirk.

"What?" I ask.

She steps closer to me and places her hand on the back of my neck.

So we get silence, okay.

She pulls me in and kisses me like everything is all good between us. I pull back and she frowns her face up.

"What?" She asks.

But then again, it ain't nothing to get fucked, yerrr!

I shake my head and lean back in to her lips, maybe she is seeing this body tonight.
