Onika
December 19th
Tennessee
I woke up to the sound of slight bickering downstairs. I could pretty much hear Ming yelling every word. I turned on my side to try and distract myself from all the noise but felt nothing but emptiness.
My eyes fully fluttered open to be sure that no one was there and there truly was no one. This was the first day I didn't wake up next to Beyoncé. She'd been staying here since my birthday and to be very honest, I loved having her around. I was getting tired of seeing only 3 faces everyday.
I jolted up, throwing on one of her many dress shirts and going downstairs to look for her. Something told me she was in the midst of the commotion going on.
And she was.
I walked to the bottom of the stairs, seeing Ming and Amala arguing over some stupid shit with Beyoncé sitting behind them. Her hair was in wavy curls with a little diamond earring on. She had on a grey pleated skirt and a top to match. She looked amazing.
Ignoring the two idiots, I walked over to her, seeing her smirk once she noticed my presence.
"I see you're wearing my shirt." She said wiggling her eyebrows.
"Yes." I smiled. "Where you going to so early?." I asked, immediately she stood up.
"To see Di. Apparently she has really important business to talk about and I made her come here so I should be available whenever she wants to talk." She shrugged, I nodded understanding where she was driving at. She checked the time on her phone and raised her brows. "I'm running late even. See you later babe." She kissed my cheek making me smile wide before leaving.
I turned back to go upstairs and actually get ready for the day, only to see the real life Jaq and Gus staring at me, wiggling their eyebrows. I didn't even notice when they stopped arguing and split the piece of toast they were fighting over. Ming's ass was pressed on the table with Amala leaned over the table, her head resting on her palm.
"I see y'all a thing now." Ming said, her mouth still full, making me roll my eyes.
"Chew.. please. And second, we're not.. I mean I dunno." I shrugged, running a hand through my hair. Both their brows raised in shock as they looked at me like I was crazy.
"You don't know!?. Onika how do you not know!?. A woman comes to a different state for you, TELLS YOU SHE LOVES YOU, and you're going all 'i dunno' about y'all being a thing?." Amala chuckled. "I knew it, I knew you were dumb and mad stupid but I didn't know it was to this extent."
"Not to mention you're the first woman to tour her cooch." Ming shrugged.
"Look I know all this but I just- I'm undecided right now. I like her but.. I can't really say we're a thing. I still feel like it's all rushed I have commitment issues if y'all ain't knew and it won't just fade away.. on one hand I want her, need her on the other I'm not ready. Y'all just ain't understanding it from my point of view." I shrugged and walked into the kitchen, them following behind me.
"Still man. Like what you saying, you're not sure she's your girl?."
"That's exactly what I'm saying." I sounded crazy even to myself but I just felt it was all rushed. I've known her a long time I know.. but I just- my mind isn't concluded on the whole together ish.
"Bitch you are dumb." Amala said looking at me with that 'what' face.
"She ain't." Ming spoke. Amala turned to her like she was going to punch her face any moment.
"See, someone's finally supporting me." I shrugged.
"Yeah, she's not dumb. She's stupid and indecisive. But I've been there so it's fine. Basically, she misses being single even though her ass wasn't sexually active-"
"One more word out yo mouth Ming, just one more." I said with squinted eyes as I held a frying pan, ready to aim it at her head.
"Sorry but I speak the truth." She shrugged."But one thing's gonna make you make up your mind, and that's jelousy. Just seeing her close to someone else with make you decide of she's yours or not. And I bet you it'll happen by the end of the day." She added, with a hand on her hip, making me chuckle.
"Yeah right-"
"2k. I bet you two thousand dollars that you'll call her yours and make up your mind today. I win, you give me the money."
"And what do I get when I win?. I ain't need $2000, hell you don't either." I said cocking my head to the side. With the money in her account she had no reason to place this bet.
"Well yeah, but that's exactly the amount I need to get the new heels I've been eyeing and watching you pay for them would make me Soo happy." She laughed.
"Okay, well if I win, you have to do anything I say." I said shrugging. Her eyes squinted at me knowing what I meant by that. By anything I say, I meant anything at all. If I asked her to drink toilet water she had to do it. I have ways of paying her back if she didn't and she was well aware. She once went naked for three whole days after I seized her clothes for refusing to run round the block naked. It was at midnight, no one would see her, but she refused. So she went naked for three days.
After reasoning the bet in her head, she agreed. The demon that told her she'd win was as dumb as she was.
