"Leave Them Alone!"😤

Normani snuggled further into Megan. It was seven a.m. She didn't have any desire to get out of bed. If she had her way, she would have stayed there in Megan's embrace all day. But Momma Tasia had other plans!

"Knock, knock! Good morning!", Fantasia said as she entered Normani, Megan and Reneé's room.

The three girls groaned. They were sleeping good. Especially Reneé. She had just fallen asleep around three a.m.

"Normani and Megan....Good to see y'all are getting close.... And Reneé! I got some good news for you. You're still the baby out of the bunch, so that means you get to get up and head into the bathroom first!", Fantasia exclaimed with a smile.

She was purposely being loud and annoying because Reneé stayed up late when she was supoosed to be in bed. The sixteen year old didn't take into consideration that she would have to be the first one up. Even though she and Coco are the same age, she's still the youngest in the house because Coco is six days older than her.

"I don't feel good. Can I skip classes today?", Reneé asked.

"Girl, you act like you ain't been raised by black women for the last three years. You already know what I'm about to say", Fantasia replied.

Reneé sat up in her bed. She recited Fantasia's famous reply to whenever one of the girls would try to play sick in order to get out of going to school....Even though school for them was downstairs in the kitchen!

"You better drink some ginger ale and pray cuz ain't nobody missing school today....", Reneé said with an eye roll.

"Aww you know me so well, baby girl! Now go ahead and freshen up. Then tell your little girlfriend across the hall she's next", Fantasia said.

Reneé gasped. "She's not my girlfriend!", she exclaimed. While trying to hold back a smile.

"Mmhm....Taraji wasn't my girlfriend either for all four years of college. That's why we're married now", Fantasia said sarcasticly as she laughed her way out of their bedroom.

"Is she talking about Courtney?", Normani asked Reneé.

"Courtney?! Why does she think my sister is your girlfriend?!", Megan asked.

"I don't know, Megan. I guess because Momma Taraji caught us downstairs in the kitchen. But we were just talking about how we met at a park when we were little. I told you it was probably her, Normani. Courtney really is Coco", Reneé explained.

"Wait....don't tell me you're the little girl named Jane she met at the park back in the day! That's crazy because I remember I told my sister we had to go and she gave you our grandma's house phone number!", Megan recalled.

"Yeah...It's a long story. But I'm just glad she's back in my life. Never thought I would see her again. At least one thing's going right in my life", Reneé said as she exited the room.

"See! I told you she likes your sister", Normani said to Megan.

"Who do you like though?", Megan asked.

Normani blushed. She shrugged her shoulders and shyly said, "I don't know...."

"Mmhm....I feel like you do know....But I won't make you tell me", Megan stated.

"Who do you like?", Normani asked. Hoping Megan would say her.

"Maybe I like you....Is that ok?", Megan asked.

Normani smiled. "Yeah, that's ok....I like you too....", she admitted.

"I'm glad you do....And I promise to take things slow with you. Don't ever feel like you need to rush into anything with anybody. Not even me", Megan said.

"Ok. But I don't feel scared or uncomfortable around you. The only other people in this house I ever felt comfortable around is Reneé and the house mothers. The other girls in this house always call me psycho and they don't want to be around me. But they don't even know me like that", Normani stated.

"You know what....I'm about to handle this right now", Megan said.

"Wait! Where are you going?", Normani asked.

"To tell them to leave you and Reneé alone!", she replied.

Megan went to Beyoncé, Michelle and Onika's room first. She made sure she knocked before coming in just in case they were doing "girlfriend" things. Beyoncé opened the door.....

"What's up, Meg?", she asked.

"Listen....y'all gotta stop calling Normani and Reneé psychos. Especially Normani! I'm not about to tell her business because it's real personal. But just know that what y'all heard she did to that boy and that girl was well deserved! She was protecting herself!", Megan told them.

"Y'all fucked last night, huh?!", Onika asked with a smirk on her face.

"I bet they did!", Michelle exclaimed.

"No! Look, don't start no rumors! I just need y'all to stop judging them. It's not right!", Megan exclaimed.

"What y'all got going on in here?!", Rihanna asked as she, Kelly and Courtney joined the party.

"Megan came in here to tell us to stop calling Normani and Reneé psychos. So my baes think her and Normani fucked last night!", Beyoncé replied while laughing.

"Whattttt?!!! Yo, no cap! Normani is fine ass fuck lowkey. So if you hit that I don't blame you!", Kelly said.

"I mean, crazy girls do have good pussy!", Rihanna stated.

"Y'all stop! Me and Normani didn't do shit! But I do like her so y'all better stop talking shit about her", Megan told them aggressively.

Nobody in the house was Megan's height except her sister....so let's just say they knew better than to try her!

"Ok girl, damn! We'll fall back since Normani and Reneé both got girlfriends now!", Kelly said.

"Wait....Who is Reneé's girlfriend?!", Beyoncé asked.

Megan, Rihanna and Kelly looked at Courtney.

"Oh my God! Me and Reneé are just friends! I mean, technically we're best friends because we met back in the day when we were ten and I promised to be her best friend. But then tragic shit happened to both of us and we never saw each other again. That's why I didn't know Reneé was Jane. But then she showed me a picture she drew and it all came back to me. It's a long story but we're not girlfriends. Just besties!", Courtney explained.

"Y'all I saw those two giggling in the hallway together at two something this morning! I was coming from the bathroom. I saw Reneé kiss Courtney and then she ran into her, Normani, and Megan's room!", Rihanna snitched.

"Y'all kissed?! I didn't know you liked girls! Or even boys, shit!", Megan said to her little sister.

That's when Fantasia barged in. "Ok, why are y'all all in here playing around?! Courtney, Reneé just came out of the bathroom. It's your turn now."

"They could've just went in together!", Onika exclaimed.

"And Megan and Normani can do the same!", Beyoncé added.

"Hush, y'all! Go ahead Courtney. And the rest of y'all need to be making y'all beds up and getting your clothes together", Fantasia instructed.

"Momma Tasia, did you make breakfast?", Michelle asked.

"I'm about to. Y'all just get ready and stop teasing Courtney and Reneé and Megan and Normani....Even though I think they go to together too!", Fantasia said before running out of the room.

Courtney entered the bathroom, but there was a knock on the door. She already knew who it was. She opened the door and who she expected was standing there.

"Let me guess.....you left your shampoo....", Courtney said with a smile.

"Nope....I left something else...", Reneé replied as she pulled Courtney close to her.

She kissed Courtney's lips quickly and passionately....

"We'll pick up where we left off later", Reneé said.

"Looking forward to it.....", Courtney said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Megan went back to where Normani was.

"I told them to leave you alone. They won't be bothering you but if they do, let me know", Megan told her.

Normani smiled. "Thanks, Megan", she said right before she kissed Megan's cheek.

Megan was satisfied with just a kiss on the cheek. She wished it was on the lips. But because of what Normani has been through, she knew she had to take things slow with her. She didn't mind being patient with the object of her affections. She was willing to do whatever she needed to do to win Normani's heart....But to also make her feel safe.
