BEYONCÉ POV
A little. Megan is a little! Who would've thought she's a little. Not I, she gives off so much dominance that being a little I can't see. Well not until last night, in the middle of us talking she moved away from the camera coming back with a pacifier in her mouth. Grinning from ear to ear I speak.
"Hello, little one" I say making her giggle
"You are so beautiful, you know that?"
She just puts her head down still sucking on her pacifier.
"Hey, you are beautiful"
"Not everyone think so" she mumbles behind her paci, that she begins to suckle faster
"That's because they're jealous. They wish they were you or could be near you. But you... you are the real deal sweetie. And no one can top you.. you're special, hear me?" I say
"Yes... thank you Beyoncé" she says now with her paci in her hand
"So are you free tomorrow?"
THE NEXT DAY
"So what I'm hearing is that she agreed to meet you?" Normani ask
"Yes. Tonight....so before my class we're meeting"
"To do what?" She ask smirking
"To talk, dirty hoe"
"Mmhm that's exactly what you about to call her when you in it" she says laughing
"Yeah... whatever"
I sit by the bar sipping on some wine as I wait for Megan to appear at the winery we agreed to meet at. I text her since we ended up exchanging numbers before we ended our call last night.
I wait for a reply and don't get one. That's okay.... She's probably on her way. She did say she was meeting with Nike for being an ambassador for their new line.
A woman and a man causally walks pass me first going to a table, then come back to the bar. The woman takes the seat in front of me as the man stands behind her.
"Hello gorgeous, my name is Alicia and this is my husband Kasseem. And I will say we've been watching you since you sat down here. And we would love to get to know you better" she says
I swallow at her words not knowing how I feel about it...
"Well hello, I'm Beyoncé....it's a pleasure to meet you both but I'm sorry I'm waiting for someone to arrive"
"Really....such a shame that. Well I hope they understand what a treasure they have right here" the husband says
I chuckle at his statement.
"And what a beautiful...woman you are. I love this dress on you" the wife says
"Oh thank you... it's old. Yours is more beautiful!" I say back as I slightly pull at the side of my dress that's rising up showing a bit of thigh
I watch as both their eyes land on that particular thigh, making me look at my phone seeing if Megan responded.
And she didn't.....
I sigh. "They're late aren't they?" She says
I nod my head.
"We can stay and keep you company till this mystery person comes...if you want?" He says
I look back at my phone seeing that it's been 20 minutes already. Not wanting to be alone I agree. Loneliness is not the feeling I want. They smile and the husband grabs the seat behind me, making me be in the middle of them. The peanut butter between the bread.
I turn sitting my back to the chair so I can look at the both of them.
"So what do you two do for a living?" I ask
I walk into the high school still in my short plum dress with my bag in hand so I can change before anyone sees me. I rush to the bathroom passing the room my class will be in, and now everyone wants to be here early.
"Yo Ms. Knowles that you!?!" I hear
"Shit" I mutter to myself
I turn and everyone has either their head poked out the door or standing in the hallway with me, looking me up and down.
"Damn Beyoncé....." Trey mutters biting his lip
"Guys I'm sorry y'all are seeing me like this, I went out and wanted to change before y'all seen me so please excuse me"
"No. No Ms. Knowles, go off and teach us in this pretty ass dress" Tracey says making me laugh
"No I can't. These heels are too much"
"Then put on your sneakers girl, we don't care" Stephanie says making me chuckle
I follow everyone inside the room and we start the lesson for the night.
AT HOME
"So how was it?!?"
"SHIT!" I shout scared since I just locked the front door
I didn't expect to see anyone up cause Mani and Nite should be sleeping. I turn seeing Nite on the couch in her onesie drinking from her large penguin designed mug and smiling at me.
"How was it? I was waiting ALL night to hear from you! I was so excited. So how'd it go? Tell me everything" she says with so much hope in her eyes
I sit next to her,"There's nothing to tell....she stood me up"
"WHAT!.... Oh I'm sorry what" she first start by semi shouting then whispers
"Why didn't she come? I don't believe this...."
"Believe it sweetie pie. She stood me up and didn't say why or that she wasn't coming"
"I'm sorry..." she mutters leaning her head on me
"You have nothing to be sorry about" I say rubbing her head
"W-Well maybe she was busy...in that meeting. You did say she was meeting with Nike....so maybe that ran longer" she says
I chuckle at her hopefulness, but I know that was the end of it all. I refuse to be taken advantage of.
THE NEXT DAY
I wake up to a good morning text from Alicia. Now I enjoyed their company and had a great time but they weren't who I wanted.. Who I was there for.
And mind you she still hadn't text me yet! I keep telling myself this is a sign. A sign that she doesn't want me.
I get up making breakfast for both Mani and Nite. Their favorite scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and butter biscuits.
"Morning Boo" Mani says giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek
She sits at the table as I sit her plate in front of her.
"Morning y'all!!" Nite says happily running into the kitchen sitting on Mani's lap giving her a kiss then hugging me from the back.
She mumbles, "I appreciate you even when no one else does" then gives my back a kiss
I quickly wipe the lone tear that fell and give her, her own plate.
"Oh Bey where would we be if we didn't have you...." Mani says as she eats
"Starving" Nite says laughing
"Oh how was it went last night. I wanted to stay up till you got back, but I was so damn tired" Mani says
"Oh" I mumble
"She stood her up... but I think only because she was so busy. Right Bey?" Nite quickly says while smiling
" Damn... I'm sorry Bey. There definitely is a reason for it, I hope it's a good one" Mani says looking down
"Yeah. And she met a couple too! They really, really like her.." Nite says giggling
"A couple. Not you dipping back into the men pool Bey" Mani says making us all laugh
"Girl shut up no.. But they did stay with me and gave me some good conversation. They are really cool... I might be meeting up with them again" I mumble the last part
"Don't come back pregnant"
I look at the list on my phone as I'm in the grocery store. I'm done with everything on my list even the food I'm cooking for all of us tonight for dinner. But I'm stuck in this damn cookie aisle looking for the double stuffed Oreos for Nite. Now I have to come back with them or she'll be upset and have an attitude with me for the rest of the month.
A bunch of girls come into the aisle as I look row by row for these damn cookies. One of them stares at their phone then screams.
"I told y'all hoes. I told y'all. Megan was with Pardi!"
"Tuh why you say that?"
"Cause this picture of them in bed together says otherwise"
"Bitch what!" I scream
All three of them look at me like I'm crazy.
"I'm- I'm sorry" I mumble
"Wait hold on, you that girl that she posted on instagram right?" One says pointing at me
"Nah. Nope not me... must be my twin" I say chuckling and walk right out the aisle
Fuck Nite cookies.
Not even with all my groceries in the trunk of my car, my phone goes off.
"Bitch what the fuck are you doing!?! You never and I mean NEVER let a hoe see you sweat" Mani says over FaceTime
"What are you talking about?"
"Bitch you know what I'm talking about, got me cursing in these people house, and they pastors.... You got mad over that picture of Megan and Pardi in the damn grocery store" she says while she's cutting up some vegetables
"I didn't. The girls in the aisle with me said it and I got thrown off and screamed that's it. It wasn't like I was having a crazy ass melt down..." I say shrugging as I get into the drivers seat
"But one of them hoes recorded that shit, and now it's on twitter. I told you, don't ever let these hoes get to you! Damn!"
I shake my head, "It's whatever... she ain't gonna do not-" I start to say but get cut of by my phone ringing
"Shit what the fuck now!"
"What's wrong" I hear Mani says since our video is obstructed by the call coming through
"Megan is calling me" I mumble
"Oh my gosh what!! Answer it. Answer it! Y'all was meant to be then. Oh my gosh, I'mma remember this for y'all wedding when I say my speech" she says then hangs up
I stare at my phone as it continues to ring till finally it stops. Then I take a deep breath gathering my thoughts. But that's short lived.... with her calling my phone again. Quickly putting it on mute I let it ring as I drive back home.
Looking in the cabinets I agree that chicken Alfredo will be dinner tonight. I hear my phone vibrate again, and I groan. This gotta be the 20th time... like leave me alone, that's what you want.
I check my phone seeing 21 missed calls from Megan. Then 1 missed call from Nite, a minute ago. I quickly dial her thinking the worse.
"B-Bey... c-can you come get me?" I hear her whine into the phone
"Where are you?"
I pull up to the front of her college not even parking correctly and rush out my car, up the slight hill to the front door. Entering in I slip through using my alumni ID and head to the women's bathroom in the library.
"Nite...Nite...it's me baby, which stall are you in?" I call out as I bend trying to find her small footed converses.
"I here" I hear her say from the last stall
She slightly opens it as she limps out with tears in her eyes.
"Oh Nite... it's gonna be okay. Here I got everything you need. It's okay... it's gonna be okay" I say as I whisper into her ear rubbing her back
She takes the plastic bag from me and slowly makes her way back into the stall, with the red stain evident on her skirt.
I close my eyes taking a deep breath as I hear her sniffle. Now that her period is here that makes me really wish I would've found them Oreos....
My phone buzz again and I look seeing a text message now from Megan.
Can we meet
No
I just want to apologize
there's nothing to say, so goodbye
I send and press block on her contact. I've only known Megan for days now and it's already mentally draining.
"I'm ready" Nite says dressed in her new clothes I got her
"Come on Nite" I say holding my hand out for her
She shakes her head with her arms holding around herself and walks to the door. "Please, call me Trinity, not Nite" she says
I nod my head understanding she's not in her headspace and make it to the car driving us to the nearest grocery store.
Walking in we get her cookies, ice cream and even some tampons and make our way back to the house.
