As we boarded the jet, it was easy to tell 3 of us were still missing and it was always the same people, Kirk, 8-Ball and Billie.
But just before the flight assistant shut the door, in they came with their carry on bags. 8-Ball put his headphones on as usual and Billie sat next to me, pulling her phone out before anyone could attempt to have a conversation with her.
"Sorry Nic, My bad for being late." Kirk went up to go hug her but she blocked it and mushed his face, pushing him back into a seat.
"Now we all gonna have a talk and I mean all. First things first, Maria and Amala y'all need to stop smoking and I mean now, I'm getting tired of y'all smelling like loud everywhere we go. Rodrick, I need you to speak the fuck up, you use to be such a damn chatterbox and now you shut your ass up faster than Mary in Precious and last but not least Jonathan, stop acting so damn irresponsible, you leave for long periods of time and come back like nothing happened and I will not tolerate it anymore, is that understood ?" Everyone nodded.
"I said am I understood?"
"Yes ma'am." We responded in unison.
It was quiet for a while again before Kirk decided to address the elephant in the room. "So um...who's this ?" He nodded towards Normani.
"This is Uzi's cousin, she's gonna be staying with us for a while." Rico answered before I could.
"Cool, I'm Kirk but you can call me you're new boyfriend" He flashes his charming smile at her but she didn't even flinch like girls normally would.
"Sorry buster but I play for the other team." Her eyes were on me by the time she was done and Id be lying if I said I didn't feel a tingling feeling in my body when she looked at me like that but I shook it off.
I broke eye contact as quickly as possible, hoping no one else saw that. This was going to be a long flight so I might as well get some sleep while I can.

As we pulled up in our driveway I couldn't help but to finally let out the breath it felt like I was holding. I was excited to be back home in my own comfort, I could relax now.
"Coco, show Normani to her room." Well not anymore I guess.
I walked her to the room she would be staying in, I was probably speedwalking but I needed to get this over and done with.
It may have seemed like I loved having her here but I dreaded it. I knew Nicki was bound to make her an official member of the team or at least convince her and it was nothing against Normani but it almost felt like she was trying to replace Symere.
"This is your room." I slowly opened the door.
