"You know this is our song right?"Jay said as he took her hand in his kissing below her rings before he turned her around so that her back was against his front , his dick pressing against her showing just how excited he was to be with her.
"Since when?" Bey asked sipping from her double solo cup , grabbing a handful of braids of bronzed colored braids in her hand so she could flip them over her shoulder so that nothing was between them.
"You honestly don't remember?"he asked .
Confusion masked Bey's face as racked her brain for the memory he had attached to Maxwells voice crooning over the speakers in the background.
"Don't worry about it" he said spinning her once again . "I'll just have to remind you"He said pulling her into his chest as they danced like they were the only two souls in the room .
Their hands naturally found each other's , her much smaller ones dwarfing in comparison to his as he held them over his heart , the other rested on the small of her back .
"It's 2003 " he began as he began to sway her . "The boats never had the music you liked so -"
"You made me a playlist "Bey continued, her lips curling into a smile as she thought about the disk that still sat at the bottom of her closet in a box of keepsakes that were dear to her heart from game tickets , letters he wrote her , old sweaters he had given her when she was young , to the tattoo design on her ring finger that he had drawn on a napkin before they did the deed .
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 .
"It worked didn't it ?" He smirked .
Hell yeah it did
"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 ?"
