Maybe it was just the way she smiled. Maybe it was just the way her eyes squeezed shut and nose crinkled when she laughed. Maybe it was the fact that she was head over heels for her.

All Normani knew was she wanted Ally to be hers.

As the brown skin girl watched her crush speak to her uncle and cousin, she realized just how lucky she was to truly have the sweet girl in her presence. There was no way she was going to find another person like her and she needed to make sure she was secure with the girl. But somehow, there was a flash of doubt in the back of the girl's mind. Something was telling Normani that taking that step wasn't the right idea.

"Okay Uncle Felix, Gigi, it's time to go," Ally wiped her eyes once more and smiled, "I love you guys"

"We love you more Ally," Her Uncle stated as she brought her into hug, "And if you ever, and I mean ever need anything, call me okay ?"

The Mexican girl nodded and came over walking towards her crush. The two held hands and headed on towards the rental car. It was finally time to go home and for Normani to tell Ally her feelings.

Normani waited a solid amount of time. The two girls were already down the highway, music playing alongside the soft hum of the engine, the Christmas vibe surrounding them; it was the perfect opportunity for the girl to strike.

"So, umm, Ally," The dancer started, nervousness written all over her tone, "It has been some amazing months with you by not only mine, but everyone's side, and I wanted it to remain that way. No- wait ! No ! That's not the way I meant it to come out"

The younger girl turned her head to try and clear the confusion with the Mexican girl, but to no avail, Ally didn't here a single word she said. The brunette was fast asleep, little snores leaving her lips.

Well that didn't work.

~~~

"I don't know why I get myself onto these things, I swear to God, I'm going to jump out" Ally panicked to herself as she death gripped Normani's hand. The plane was just beginning to take off and Ally's nerves were in every which direction. Normani's on the other hand were far worse. The Mexican girl was actually awake this time and she had the opportunity to tell her about her feelings.

The dancer ran her thumb over Ally's hand, trying to sooth her frantic nature, "Hey Ally"

"Don't talk to me right now Mani. I want to get off this flight," The short girl gasped as turbulence hit the flight, her whole body shaking, "Why couldn't we have just driven home ?"

"That's like a 17 hours drive"

"I'd rather do 17 hours than these two and a half hours of hell" The Mexican girl lifted the arm rest and stared sternly at Normani. The poor younger girl did not understand what was going on with the girl beside her.

Normani stared at the girl, "Umm, Ally is there a reason you lifted the armrest ?"

"Cuddle me you idiot," Ally was going to continue her demands but once again, turbulence hit the airplane, making her squeak in fear, "Normani please, I'm scared"

Rolling her eyes, the dancer opened her arms and accepted the terrified into her arms. Instantly, Ally shoved her face into Normani's chest; the only real place she felt safe.

Ready for another shot, Normani cleared her throat and looked down at the girl, "So umm, Ally. I've been meaning to talk to you about something"

"Can it please wait until later ? Because I only want to hear the sound of your heart and you singing"

"But it's really important- what wait, did you say singing ?"

Ally rolled her eyes, "I do believe I did not stutter Hamilton"

The taller girl looked down, surprised at her crush's smart mouth, "Okay, firstly, I'm not letting you talk to Jilly anymore. Secondly, I can't sing on this plane. These people might hear me. Why can't you just go to sleep ?"

"Because I want to hear your beautiful voice mi corazon. It calms down"

Knowing she wouldn't be able to say no, Normani sighed and ran her hands up and down the Mexican girl's back, "What song do you want me to sing ?"

"Last Christmas ?" The older girl suggested.

"I'm tired of Christmas song. Next"

"Rude by Magic ?"

The brown skin girl flinched, "N-no. I'm not in the mood to sing about failure"

"Bad Day by Justin Bieber ?"

"No. Not that either" Normani didn't want to sing about being dumped. The thought scared her even more.

"Sorry Not Sorry by Bryson Tiller ?"

That by far completely Normani off. She surely was not going to sing about the rejection, "Wha- No ! Ally are you trying to tell me something here ?" The brown skin girl joked, knowing deep down inside that the answer scared her.

"Yes. I'm trying to tell you that I'm scared and want to be sung to !" The persistence and demand in Ally's voice not only scared Normani even more, but it kind of turned her on a bit. Ally taking a bit of authority was always a nice sight in her eyes.

"Okay, how about Fantasy ?"

Ally furrowed her eyebrows, "I'm sorry but I'm not trying to join Mile High Club with you Normani"

The Houston girl's eyes widened, "Ally what ?! No !!" The girl glanced around to see if anyone heard her. Luckily, everyone was sleep, "No, the song Fantasy by Alina Baraz and Galimatias"

"Oh, that's a new one. You've never played it before"

"Well, I am now. Get comfortable Hernandez"

The Mexican girl adjusted herself upon Normani's chest as the singing girl patted the beat to the song lightly upon her crush's back.

So you say you wanna get away

We don't need a plane

I could be your escape

The younger girl stuck her hand out playfully visualizing the twos escape.

Take you to a place

Where there's no time, no space

Normani smiled at the thought of her and Ally peacefully together with no problem.

I could be your private island

On a different planet

Anything could happen

Listen to the waves

Let them wash away your pain

The singer took a pause and continued on with chorus. An even bigger smile just imagining her and Ally together having fun on an island together.

Underneath the palm trees

You could leave your worries

Listen to the waves

Say you wanna get so high?

Breathe me in like air tonight

Listen to the waves

I could be your fantasy

As the girl continued on with the second verse, she could see Ally sleeping peacefully in her arms as she intended; her proud smile never vanishing. Normani now knew she truly did want Ally to be hers.

Maybe, the third time would be a charm for her ?

~~~

"I'm gonna do it ! I'm gonna do it !" Normani hyped to herself as she paced back and forth in the living room, "You got this Mani. You will do it ! You will cuff !"

The girl sadly had to give herself her own pep talk because all of her friends were busy celebrating Christmas with their families. Although Dinah wasn't able to afford a flight to California, she did decided to spend her Christmas with the Jaureguis and Colemans. Little did Dinah know her Christmas present from Zendaya was going to be a flight to California.

Normani smiled at the thought of the couple. Zendinah was what she labeled as "goals". The two were just naturally happy together. Their sweet and fiery personalities connected at contact and she loved it. Although they did have their fair share of arguments; they always came back to each other. Normani wanted what they had.

The girl took a deep breath and shook her body out. Alright ! It was time ! She was going to do it ! Mission: Confession was in motion ! The determined girl walked towards the art room door, ready to walk in. She held her hand up towards the doorknob before dropping it and walking back to the living room.

"Okay no, I need a little more hype time" The dancer shook herself out once more and began to stretch her arms out. Soon enough her stretch turned into a whole stretching routine. Normani stretched every muscle imaginable; from her calves to her back to here mere toes. She was going to be loose when she asked Ally.

Normani cracked her neck and nodded, "Alright ! Now I'm ready !" Once again, the girl walked towards the room, this time a stone cold look upon her face. She this time grabbed the doorknob, to only let it go seconds later and retreat back towards the living room.

"Come on Normani ! Woman up ! This is Ally. What's the worse she could do ?" The girl paused for a second, "Well she could say no and break my heart"

The college student grumbled at her weak side, "Why can't you just be confident ! Be a boss !"

Normani grinned at the idea, "Be a boss. Yeah, I like that. No more cutting corners Normani. Here comes straight forward boss Normani !"

Instantly, doing it now before she regretted it later, Normani rushed over towards the art room door and kicked it open with a bang. Once the Mexican girl lifted her head up from the device and made eye contact with Normani, the dancer sprung into action.

Normani rushed over and grabbed the small Latina; throwing her over her shoulder and rushing towards their bedroom. Once again, Normani kicked down the door and rushed towards the bed. The student threw Ally down upon the bed, the girl bouncing a bit at the force.

"Mani what are you do-" But to no avail, Ally was cut off by Normani shoving the girl down and crawling up, straddling her waist. Normani brought her face down close to Ally's letting her stare penetrate deep into her before roughly connecting their lips. Unknowingly, Ally moaned at the contact and grabbed Normani's cheeks with both of her hands. The dancer took it as a sign to continue and let her tongue do its sly tricks. Soon enough, both girls' tongues were tangoing together, keeping up at a rhythm they never knew was set. Ally didn't remember how her hands moved from Normani's cheek down to her backside but she wasn't complaining. The Mexican girl let her hands guide the straddling girl's hips; following each stroke of the tongue and body grind.

As soon as air became a necessity again for Normani, the dancer pulled away, breathless. Both girls stared at each other, unaware of what just happened or how it happened.

The brunette blinked and continued to stare up at Normani in confusion. She was literally just watching a choreography to a new Janet Jackson song (and trust her, she had no idea how she got from watching Alessia's new video to that) and now was below Normani, breathing heavily from a deep kiss they shared.

"Oh my God" Both girls muttered at once.

"Normani what was that ?" Ally pondered, not knowing what in the world had happened in the span of those five minutes.

The top girl fixed her hair mindlessly, "I have no idea"

"Okay well there had to be a reason for it"

"Yeah reason," As soon as the actual reason sunk back into the girl's mind, her eyes widened, "Oh well umm... I've been wanting to talk to you about something"

"Did it really require you to throw me ?"

"In all honesty, no. But it was kinda fun to do so" Normani shrugged nervously only to earn a giggle from Ally.

Ally's eyes lit up at the beautiful girl straddling her, "Would you like to tell me what you wanted to talk about ?"

"I do but I'm too scared to... So I guess we can go back to making out until I do" Normani tried to dive down and initiate another make out session, but was abruptly stopped by Ally's finger.

"Yeah, that can wait until after what you have to say Mani. I'm curious now."

The dancer sighed and rubbed her arm nervously, "Well I've been thinking about us for a while. How you and I are really close"

"Yes," Ally nodded, "So are you and Camila and Dinah and Lauren and Zendaya. What's the point ?"

"Well since we're so close, I thought we should maybe take another step"

Ally let the words sink, not completely understanding. In a matter of seconds the girl shot right up, not believing the words coming out her crush's mouth, but the girl was shoved right back down in the instant.

"No don't get up," Normani fixed a loose strand of hair of Ally's, "I like it this way"

"Are you serious ? You want to be my girlfriend ? B-but I don't know how to be one."

The top furrowed her eyebrows, "What do you mean princess ?"

"What if someone out there could be a better one to you then I can ?" Ally's face drooped to a sad expression, "I don't want to lose you Mani"

"No no no, princess you won't lose me. There's no standard way to even be a girlfriend, you just do what you do with your love and affection"

The brunette looked up nervously, "Is there a way we can try it out ?"

"Like be together but not official ?" Ally nodded and Normani smiled softly, "Then okay. We're now seeing each other"

"Seeing each other ?"

"Seeing each other."

Ally continued to let her hands caress Normani's thigh. Both girls smiled at how lucky they were to have one another. Maybe trying it out wouldn't be so bad.

Or so they thought.
