"No, no, no, I am not wearing this," Beyoncé told Kelly as she looked at herself in the mirror.
"What's wrong with it? You look beautiful!" Kelly said to her.
She'd made what she now felt like was a mistake by letting Kelly buy her a new outfit for her date.
Kelly knew Beyoncé would want to wear something longer and less revealing, but she felt that her best friend was beautiful and should show that and that any man would be lucky to have her. Kelly insisted she get something new for her date and insisted she buy it so she could make sure her best friend was, in her own words, 'irresistibly sexy.'
The dress wasn't one Beyoncé would've picked out for herself, at least not the post-Winston Beyoncé, as she was still finding herself and getting comfortable in her body again after the trauma he'd put her through.
Before him, she wasn't so insecure or as shy. She's never been super extroverted, but after Winston, she'd just been a shell of her former self, and she was trying to get away from that and bring herself back.
After so many years of him putting him down and ridiculing her body, she couldn't help but believe him.
He was a majority of the reason that she now had a hard time dating and trusting men.
"It's way too tight and short. I haven't been eating right. I've put on too much weight recently. My ass and hips look huge. My boobs feel like they're about to spill out. If I pull it up, my vagina is out. If I pull it down, my boobs are out. I'm changing. I can't do this," Beyoncé said in a panicked tone as she shimmied in the dress, alternating from pulling it up and down trying to cover her body as best she could.
She turned around and looked at her backside in the mirror before she started to walk back into her closet.
"Hey, hey, hey! No, you are not changing. You're already on the verge of being late," Kelly told her as she stood in her way preventing her from changing.
"Maybe, I should just call and cancel. I'm literally panicking. I don't think I can do this. I haven't been out on a date in nearly three years," Beyoncé told her best friend.
"Listen to me. I know it's hard, but you have to move on. Winston is out of your life for good now. From everything I heard about him from Tim, Jay is a nice guy. Everything is going to be fine," Kelly replied.
"Winston's friends thought he was a good guy. What if he's—," Beyoncé started before Kelly cut her off.
Winston had made it to where she didn't feel safe, which is the reason she'd refused to let Jay pick her up and take her out.
"Okay. Listen, you're meeting him there. If you see any signs of anything you don't like, you can cut him off and never have to see him again. It's a first date. You're not committing to spending the rest of your life with him. You will not end up in a relationship like the one you were in with Winston. I won't let that happen again, so you don't even have to worry. Just try to have a good time tonight. You look stunning. You're the most beautiful person I've ever met. This dress looks amazing on you. Your curves are to die for. It doesn't matter what Winston said about your curves. He's an idiot. You're not fat. You're gorgeous. You've got a body people would pay for. It's not too little or too tight. Jay is going to be speechless. I say if you've got it, flaunt it," Kelly encouraged her best friend.
