The Way I Love You

Chapter 20: Three Considerations

Michaels POV:

I was so glad I wrapped up my tour. I had this burning surprise for Beyoncé. I had a timer for when she could finally receive it, Halloween.

She was on a quick business trip so I took this time to talk to my mother about my plan. She knew how crazy I was, so she had to hear my plan before anyone else.

I was sitting with on at the kitchen table, and I explained my plan. She listened from top to bottom.

"Are you sure Michael? This could all be too soon for her?"

"Mother I'm sure she's ready. She was hinting at it. This all we've been talking about for a while, if that isn't a sign then I'm not sure what is."

"Well Michael take three things into consideration for me okay? Time, trust, and love. First off time. Do you have time for all that?"

"Yes, I just finished my tour meaning I have all the time in the world. She's my soul focus. Sure i'll have to do some press events and maybe a song here or there. But I promise the time department is taken care of."

"Okay then Mike, what about trust?"

"I think we both trust each other."

My mother gave me a look telling me to rethink my answer. "Well I mostly trust her. I know she wouldn't do anything to hurt me. I just have to let those insecure that's out."

"Baby it doesn't work like that. You can't keep playing games with her. You need to have everything made up. I get you were hurt, but you broke her remember? You just got into her good graces so don't ruin it by moving too fast. Both of you deserve to find peace."

"I know mother. I understand to let us take time to fully heal, but I would heal better with her by my side. I can't let her get away from me. I may run crazy without her, i'm depending on her. I one hundred trust here I don't trust that co artist of hers. He's a monster."

"You have to get him out of your head Michael. It'll only be worse if you allow him to take control over your mind like that."

"I get that, it's just hard. He took away the woman I loved for almost two years-"

"Michael, he don't take her away. You allowed his lies to consume you. You are the one who ended things, you pushed her away from you. Don't blame it all on him, I taught you better than that."

I sat there in silence taking in what she was saying. She was completely right. Allowed him to take over my brain, which cause me to lose my love.

"You're right, should I just let go of the idea then? I don't know how to get him out my head."

"Sometimes saying your peace is the best way to. You have to prove your mind is stronger than his lies and slander."

Four days later...

I took her words into consideration and kept them in my mind up until I scheduled our meeting.

I sat at a round table waiting on my guest. I had on a navy blue military uniform with silver details all over with. I pair it with my heeled boots and black Ray-bans.

I heard a knock on the door then in walked my guest. "Have a seat." I instructed to a confused Jay-Z.

I nodded towards Wayne and he locked the door and stood behind him. "Welcome, how are you today?"
