The Wife

Chapter 12: Party Time

A couple weeks later

Beyoncé

So it's not been a easy couple of weeks. Ever since that blowout with Kelly we've barely spoken since. I come over and see Faith every so often but even then she barely says any words to me. I found an apartment that was close to the hospital. I'm about done packing.

I look around my new apartment and exhale.

"Knock knock" I hear behind me. I turn and smile.

"Hey solo" I open up my arms and hug.

"This is nice" she said looking around.

"Thanks, it's close to the hospital so I thought it would be perfect" I said nodding.

"Yeah"

I'm sick of this stupid small talk game.

"Hey did Kelly tell you Faith is officially a month old"

"Kelly doesn't tell me much of anything anymore"

"Well she's been basically throwing herself into her cases at the firm"

"Oh good for her" I said rolling my eyes.

"Beyoncé she's hurting"

"I know"

So am I. I'm hurting for her. I'm hurting for our family or what was our family.

"She's actually throwing a dinner party tonight"

"What? Why?"

Solange shrugged.

"Who's all going?" I asked.

"I don't know she wouldn't say she just said she thought it was a good idea to be around friends right now"

"Hmm" I needed to know more.

"You think she's gonna invite me?"

She shook her head no.

"Yeah I know"

Somethings up and Kelly probably knew Solange was gonna tell me about this little get together. But why is she keeping the guest list a secret. I mean I hate to say it but Kelly doesn't really have that many friends and all her friends are also my friends so what's going on.

"What time is the party?" I asked. Was this a good idea? No probably not.

"7:00 pm why?"

"Because I'm going"

Her eyes widened. "I don't think that's a good idea bey"

"Look whatever Kelly is planning on doing I think I need to be there"

Solange let out a sigh. "Fine but don't tell Kelly I told you"

"Don't worry. I won't.

Kelly

"Hey girl, good morning!" I smiled looking down at Faye I picked her up.

"Did you have good sleeps?" She stretched her little arms out. She looked right at me and pouted her lips.

"Oh no"

She bursted into tears. "Are you starving well mommas gonna feed you girl give me a second"

I unbuttoned my shirt with one hand and positioned myself in the rocking chair.

"Alright" she latched on easily.

"Happy now?" I laughed. Just then my phone started ringing. I grabbed it out from my pocket and looked at the caller ID.

It was Regina (Beyoncé's sister)
