Walk With Me 1

Nicki

"Hello, do you know Ms. Knowles?"

I look up from my morning coffee and desktop computer to see two girls, i'm gonna assume they're twins. Might be sophomores.

"Um, yes. And you two are..." my voice trails off.

"I'm Halle and this is my sister Chloe." I can tell she means business by her tone. "So do you know her or not?"

"Um... conversations here and there. Nothing more. Why do you ask?"

"Well she's our big cousin and we just wanna say that she wants to talk to you."

"She does?" I fully turn around.

Halle nods.

"Like now." Chloe speaks up.

That authoritative streak might run in the family.

"Alright, let her know that I'll need a couple of minutes and I'll be down."

What could it be? Is all I'm left to think about as the girls walk out of my classroom.

It took about 5 minutes for me to finish my email to another administrator before the twins dragged across the hall to Beyoncé.

The woman stretched on the glossy studio floor. She came out of her split and looked up to see me.

"Hey."

"Hey."

That saved me from getting distracted. I took a slight step back and realized that the teens were no longer at my sides. My cheeks go hot.

"You needed to speak to me?"

Beyoncé visually tenses up. Great. Now we've got two nervous MFs... my hand tingles a bit as I think of last week's encounter where she basically walked us down here.

I crave her soft hand. It fits perfect within mine. She's so close yet so far. I've been touch deprived.

I feel my heartbeat in my ears. Like a massage traveling up your body. I want more but this simply isn't the setting for that. It's fucking 6 in the morning.

"U-Um how was your night and morning?"

"Fine, I actually got some rest. And this morning's been chill." I answer. "What about you?"

She hums and chuckles. I love her deep ass voice paired with that accent.

She then shrugs, "the usual."

Everytime the topic touches her personal life the else energy and air gets tense. I understand that for everyone, life isn't fine and dandy but as someone who knows Beyoncé a little more than a stranger I believe she deserves the world. I hope she's at least safe.

"Come sit here, Maraj."

"Call me Nicki, please."

"Onika's, okay right?"

I nod. I wish I could figure out a sly way to get her to say it again but I feel that'd just be weird.

"Onika, i be bored all the fuckin' time. Have lunch with me please."

I nod. I owe those twins some pizza or something, seriously.

"Wanna order something?"

"Anything you want." Beyoncé says with a sly smile.

_____

Also Ik Chloe and Halle aren't twins but I decided to pull a grown-ish and make them twins.

Y'all like the additions of their characters?

What do you y'all think they will bring to the story?

Consider this a "part 1" and the next chapter a "part 2" I will make that one longer than this one.
