Back in the day in order to get a playlist of your favorite songs you had to sit at a computer for hours burning them and trying to remember exactly what order they went in so you could write them on the actual CD .

The fact that someone would make that effort made it all the More of a thoughtful gift

"Go on "Bey encouraged as Jay continued to paint a mental picture of the setting for her .

"I would've waited forever if you asked me to"he whispered in her ear making her step back as the lyrics started to finally register with her .

"This is the song ?" She asked not sure if she should cry or laugh at the memory

"It would've been "This Woman's Work"but the warm up took a lot longer than I planned when I made the CD"he reminded her .

Bey felt her cheeks beat up as she recalled that day detail for detail .

She's sure every girl during that era wanted to lose their virginity exactly how Monica gave hers to Quincy , the song playing in the background as they kept their eyes on one another only looking away to watch him put the condom on and to see him go inside .

No one talked about how damn awkward it was getting in just the right position , especially when one person was experienced and the other was a virgin .

It's like you couldn't move too fast because you'd confuse your partner , but if you moved to slow you wouldn't be able to get her wet enough to help with the pain and discomfort that came with inserting a foreign object into a tiny space she had never used before .

Yeah , the music drowned out a lot and got rid of the need to talk so much but whew ....

To this day she could reach behind his neck and run her fingers across the permanent crescents her nails left in his skin when he pushed in for the first time

She remained quiet , burying her face in his chest enjoying the feeling of them being so close . It reminded her so much of how comforting it was when they were in this position horizontally.

"You told me to singing along would distract me"Bey remembered lifting her head so fast she almost hit him in his mouth by mistake

"We wouldn't have 4 kids if it didn't , trust me"Bey laughed before she started to sing the song loud enough just for him to hear not realizing what she had just set .

"Open your eyes
See what's in front of you in your face
Say you'll be be fistful
Of tears "

Bey sang , her voice much deeper and richer than it used to be when she was in her 20s

Jay sang along as best as he could manage no longer embarrassed if someone heard him until her previous statement hit him like a freight train .

"That was fun"Bey smiled as the song came to an end

She held her dress as Jay lead them back to their table where her shoes and purse were tucked under the table .

"Bey?"

"Yeah?" She answered sipping her water. 

"We have three kids , what do you mean by four ?"
