"Hmph." Normani mumbled, she stifled her laughter a bit before regaining her composure. "Look, I'm over it... love makes people stupid sometimes, I should know. I forgive you for that particular situation but I'm not sure I do for outing me to my mom about the whole Bey situation."
Zendaya's face uttered in confusion, her eyebrows raised as she tried to figure out what Normani was referring to. "Huh? I haven't spoken to your mom since that time you were on FaceTime with her."
"Um, you didn't tell my mom that I was dating Bey and that she was helluva lot older than me?"
"No, why would I do that? Knowing how Mama drea is? Chile anyways..."
The two shared a giggle before Normani became curious again.
"Seriously Z... who the hell could have told?"
"First, we have to name all the people who know of you two."
Normani nodded, that was true. "So besides you, there's Ryan, Blair, Megan, and Kehlani? But my mom doesn't even know Megan and Kehlani exists & they don't know her name let alone her number. Ryan and I met through work, she's met my mom once but she doesn't talk to her or have her number. And Blair-" Normani paused when she noticed Zendaya giving her a look. "Blair knows my mom the way you do... you think he-"
"He had to." Zendaya cut her off, she wasn't trying to be rude but it sure made her come into realization about the whole thing.
Now Normani was the one raising an eyebrow due to noticing the look on Zendaya's face which made her a bit more curious.
"Do you know something?"
Zendaya responded with a shake of head before responding verbally . "No, it's just... he says slick things all the time about it. How she's too old for you and she's just using you... last time, he said the whole 'I love you' thing was just to hold you so you'll think it's serious. Him and Ryan had a big blow out because of that, she felt like he was being weirdly negative and just an overall hater."
Normani's eyes widened a little, she remembered Ryan saying her and Blair weren't speaking but she didn't ask and Ryan didn't tell.
"Wow." Was all Normani could say, she wasn't sure of what she'd do about this yet, but she'd figure something out with the help of Bey.
"Seems like we've cracked the case though."
"We did, didn't we Sherlock?" Zendaya joked, knowing it would result in laughter from her best friend.
"Thanks to you, Watson." Normani winked, playing along which made them Zendaya join in on the laugh.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."

Kelly sat sideways on the couch as she sipped from the champagne glass she held. She stared at Bey animatedly as they caught up on everything that happened over these past few weeks.
"So, she basically moved in?"
"No," Beyoncé answered with a shake of her head before swallowing hard. "Just staying here until she and her friend fix the issue but I like having her around."
"Isn't she out with said friend right now?"
Beyoncé nodded, kind of disappointed. It sounded selfish but she wanted Normani around just a tad bit longer, she's gotten used to waking up to her and having her there 24/7.
"So what you guys ride to the campus together?"
Beyoncé rolled her eyes as Kelly snickered.
"I leave before her because I have to take Blue to school and ultimately be there before my students so fuck off."
Kelly's laughter died down a bit before she rolled her eyes playfully, Beyoncé was so dramatic.
"You seem very invested in this relationship, I love seeing this side of you. It's cute."
Beyoncé found herself blushing, everyone was noticing her change which it made it hard for her not to. She didn't mind though, she loved being in love especially with Normani.
"Do I hear wedding bells?" Kelly joked and before Beyoncé could muster up a witty comeback, a new presence was among them.
"Babe?" Beyoncé heard, her ears practically peeking up at the sound of her girlfriend's voice. "Oh, I didn't know we had company... Hi."
Kelly looked at Bey teasingly. 'We?' She mouthed causing Beyoncé to mouth back 'Fuck off.'
"That's what happens when people show up announced." Beyoncé half joked, a light laugh falling past her lips. "Normani, this is-"
"Kelly right?"
Beyoncé raised an eyebrow, she didn't know that the two had been introduced.
"Megan introduced us." Kelly answered Beyoncé's question almost on cue as she laughed a little. "I'm the one who told on you, Normani. Giselle hadn't noticed you yet."
Normani raised an eyebrow. "How dangerous of you, I take you already knew how she is when angry,"
"Yes but I also knew that she really liked you so it was worth it."
Normani smirked a little as Kelly sat up straight. "I think we'll get along great."
"Definitely." Kelly smiled as she slipped her feet into her brown UGG slippers. "Just keep doing what you're doing because she's nicer now."
"Bye Kelly!" Beyoncé groaned dramatically, she couldn't stand her best friend sometimes.
"Bye BB, love youuu." Kelly said teasingly as she grabbed her purse and began to walk out of the room.
"Love you too." Beyoncé laughed before hearing her front door shut. A smile on her face as she turned to look at her significant other.
"So hey you, how'd it go?" Beyoncé asked, her full attention on Normani who was walking towards her.
"It was good, you will not believe what I found out." Normani said with a huff as Beyoncé grabbed her by her waist and pulled her onto her lap.
"What's that, babygirl?" Beyoncé husked and Normani shivered, it was hard to focus when Beyoncé was staring at her all seductively.
"Z didn't tell my mom about us." Normani breathed out while having hair pushed behind her ear by her girlfriend. She watched Beyoncé's eyes avert to her lips then look back up. "Bey.."
"Hm?" Beyoncé responded, looking into her lover's eyes. "I'm sorry, you're so beautiful... I got distracted." She admitted, pressing a soft kiss onto Normani's lips.
Normani clenched her legs together, she couldn't help but to start feeling some type of way but she had to remind herself to stay focused, this conversation is important.
"If she didn't tell her then who did?"
"Blair."
