She woke up in better spirits this Saturday feeling optimistic of what this day will bring. Mainly, she was excited that it was New York Fashion Week and she just so happened to have her line in the show today. Just the thought alone made her giddy as she giggled excitedly, throwing her covers off of her as she got out of bed. Every time she had an important event she made sure to stick to her ritual. She would pick up her sage burning it around the house before placing it on the tray letting it continue to burn out the remains from last time. Then she would play Nina Simone "Feeling Good" on repeat on her vinyl to let the purest of sounds radiate through her spacious home while she cooked her favorite breakfast consisting of eggs, hash browns, fruit, and shrimp and grits. Singing lightly to herself she got busy not wasting any time. Cooking is something that she enjoyed doing very much especially when she had the time, it's her love language. She loved when her closest friends decided to come over and she could whip up whatever they desired and see their faces light up when satisfied. Once she finished cooking she plated the food making sure to save some for her assistant when she went to the office. She ate in silence scrolling through her phone replying to "good luck" messages before putting her plate in the sink rinsing it. She then walked to her bathroom and hopped in the shower.

Walking into her office building she watched everyone's eyes land on her briefly before continuing back to work. She chuckled lightly saying a sweet dragged out "Good morninggg" showing the others she was in a very good mood. They responded quickly with smiles as her assistant and close friend Chloe approached her side nudging her a little.

"Good mornin' boss lady." She said with a smirk.
"Good morning my love. I brought you some left over breakfast since I'm sure you didn't eat before you left." She rolled her eyes handing her the large tubberware as they entered the elevator.
"You know me so well! Thank you. Are you excited for today?" She asked eyeing the food in the clear container .
"Of course I do and of course I am! I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and a lot of important people will be there. Did you make sure everything was up to par before I came? You know I can't afford any mistakes." She said walking into her office taking a seat as she placed her stuff down.
"Girl, you know I have triple checked everything to make sure the fabulous Kellys line and models are superb. Now I know this is an important day BUT how was your date yesterday?" She asked sitting down across from her popping open her food. Taking a bite her eyes rolled in the back of her head in delight. Kelly smiled at the response before pointing at the door "Get out." She smirked as Chloe groaned.

The show was a success, not that she expected any less from herself nor her amazing team who kept it all together. It was put together so beautifully and the models represented the pieces exactly how she wanted. She was on a high.
After her show was over she sat in the audience watching everyone else's collections appreciating the pieces and the positive vibes that fashion week always brought. It reminded her why she started KTR Designs in the first place. She had light conversation with the other guest as they oo'd and ah'd over the sets. Once it was over the designers, models, and celebrities all gathered together speaking about the triumphant night.
"Kelly, Kelly, Kelly! I'm so proud of you girl." She turned seeing the man with his arms open, instantly feeling warm inside from the familiar voice she heard.
"Well, if it isn't Mr. Shawn Carter. Thank you." She said walking into his hug. "I missed you, Jay. How have you been?" She asked releasing from the man's hold. Shawn and Kelly were very close when she first came up years prior but the busier they got the less they spoke.
"I missed you too. And you know I've been good, did you know I got married?" He asked grabbing them both a glass of champagne from the servers tray handing her hers.
"Yes! I heard and was going to congratulate you but lost your number when I lost my phone. Where's the woman that was able to tie your old ass down?" She asked jokingly
He looked behind her smiling a little holding his arm out as she inspected her glass "actually she is right here." He said with a glitter in his eye as the woman walked up and  placed herself right into his open arm leaning into him holding out her hand. "Hi, I'm Beyonce." She said in a deep southern accent that coincidentally sounded quite a bit like Kelly's if her voice was lower. Nevertheless her breath hitched as she heard that voice and it didn't help once she looked up from her glass.
"Wow..." she said dumbstruck quickly shaking it off grabbing her soft hand shaking it, she felt her hairs stand up from the touch. The blonde which she now knew as Beyonce raised a brow holding a shy smile as she noticed her expression letting go nervously.

"That's the same thing I said when I saw her!" He joked trying to lighten the mood. "This is Kelly. Remember when her show was on and I told you that I've known the designer since she was 23?" He asked as Beyonce nodded suddenly excited. "Those are your designs? They're beautiful and so are you! I cant wait till the collection drops" she said as she fawned over Kelly and her work. As Kelly blushed furiously "Thank you so much. Maybe I can send you some stuff? What do you do?" She asked eager to know more about this new woman.
"I would love that. I am a artist. More specifically a painter" she said seeming to shrug it off as though it wasn't that exciting. "That's awesome.. maybe you can come and paint something for my place? I've been looking for new art to fill up blank spaces" Kelly said feeling bolder than she was a few minutes ago as they exchanged information and everyone said their goodbyes before continuing onto their night.

The whole way home she sat in the back of her limo thinking. What about that woman made her want to know more? Something drew her to her but what was it? Was she really that desperate for a new friend? The questions kept coming up into her mind never answered until she arrived home. She walked into her place pushing the thought of Beyonce to the back of her mind before walking to her bathroom starting her shower. She undressed stepping in letting the steaming hot water wash away the stressful events of today until her mind momentarily focused back on Beyonce. She was beautiful and seemed so sweet when they were talking she couldn't help but to want her around. She got out the shower about 30 minutes later after doing her routine then put on her silk bathrobe wrapping her long hair up into a towel.
*buzz buzz*
She heard looking down at her phone seeing who texted her, her heart damn near beat out of her chest as she saw the name.

"𝐻𝑒𝑦, 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑡𝑜𝑔𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔?"

She was shocked to say the least. Maybe the woman wanted to meet up just as much as she did. At least she hoped.

What's Kelly gonna say?
