Beyoncé's POV.
-
"Maybe you should ease off this stuff Jelani" I tried to stop him from cutting the coke into lines with his credit card.
"Maybe you should mind your business Beyoncè!" He snaps at me.
I roll my eyes. "Don't you see that you need to use coke just to put up with your family!?" We currently were outside the Maraj's mansion.
"Oh! Can you please you please shut the fuck up, Beyoncé?" He whines. No, he begged. "You don't know anything about my family!"
I scoff, I've been dating Jelani long enough to know exactly what kind of people his family is. He was raised by two psychopaths!
He snorts two lines of coke that's on the car's dashboard. He then grabs my face and pecks my lips. "I'm sorry okay, baby?" He apologizes. "I've just been under a lot of pressure with my father's company." He says.
"That doesn't give you the right to speak to me the way you do" I pout in the passenger seat of his Mercedes.
"I know darling. It's the pressure I'm under, I swear, you know I love you" He kisses my cheek which made me blush.
Jelani open the door and got out then walk towards my side and open the door for me. "C'mon, let's go" He held his hand out for me to take.
"You look beautiful in that necklace, babe" He says referring to the necklace he gifted me.
I took my thumb finger and wipe the white powder off his nose before pecking his lips. "Do we really have to go to this family dinner?" I whine. I really dislike being in the presence of his parents.
He nods, "It's not a family dinner, love. It will just be me, you and my parents... My sister is out" He informs me.
I hum, "Your sister is never home" I honestly have never seen his little sister before; I've heard and seen pictures of her but never in person.
"She's the party type; she only comes home to sleep" He chuckles.
"Oh, she's like you then?" I tease.
He let out a laugh; Jelani places his hand on my lower back and leads us into his house.
We walk into the dinner room seeing his mother and father sitting down at the table.
"Jelani" His stone cold voice greeted his son. "Beyoncé" he greets me.
"Hey, pops. What's for dinner, I'm starving!" Jelani says as he grabs a piece of chicken off the plate.
"Stop acting like an animal!" His father spoke which made Jelani sigh and rest the chicken back down.
"Thomas, please to leave our son alone... clearly he's hungry." His mother rushes to his defense.
"Thanks mom, but dad's right" He says.
I look at Thomas who just sat there with no emotions on his face.
"Sit, both of you" Carol says pointing to the empty seats...After Jelani sat down I took a seat beside him.
"Excuse my daughter's absence" Carol says.
Thomas scoffs, "I think Beyoncè is quite used to it, that girl is never home"
"Oh c'mon dad, she's young, she just wants to have fun" Jelani steps in for his sister.
"Yea, like you are?!" Thomas voice boom through the house. I can already tell this dinner was going to be like all the dinners I've been invited to. "You waste your money on drugs and hookers!" He shouts.
Jelani held his head down not meeting his father's eyes.
"Thomas." Carol warns.
"I regret ever making him the Ceo of my company! All he does if fuck everything up! Look at him carol; the boy is as high as a kite right now!"
I cleared my throat. I hated the way he talks to Jelani and if Jelani wasn't going to defend himself then I will. "Sir, Jelani's outside life doesn't affect his duties at your company" I told him the truth. Sure, Jelani party like there's no tomorrow but he always put his Dad's company first.
I've came to realize that he did that because he seeks for his father's approval.
"What do you know, huh? You're just another hooker on his arm" Thomas rolls his eyes as he takes a sip of the bourbon in his glass.
"You shouldn't comment on family matters." Carol points out.
"Dad, mom, she-" Jelani got cut off by his father slamming his hand on the table.
"If you're thinking about defending this hooker then don't even think about it!" His father shouts.
"Yes dad" Jelani says with his head down.
