"Damn. Is it Christmas already?" Onika joked, surveying the room full of boxes of designer clothes and handbags. Lauren had even gotten jewelry.
"More like a regular Friday." Cassie returned. "Lo, who's your fetus friend?"
Onika made a face.
"This...

"Watch your step." Beyoncé gently reminded Onika as she tip-toed over the cobblestone paved driveway. When Onika wobbled the second time she reached out to steady her. "Interesting choice of footwear."
"I forgot about this ghetto ass gravel driveway."
"Cobblestone, sweetheart."
"Or whatever." She rolled her eyes as Bey helped her inside the Lincoln Navigator, climbing in swiftly herself. Onika was secretly relieved it wasn't the same monster truck from before. "Plus I just got these a week ago. I'm still breaking them in."
"Well. You're already halfway there." Beyonce shut the door and the car took off." "Sleep well?"
"Yeah, I kinda passed out actually." She made a quick sweep of the premium SUV. "Yo, this is nice. Oh my God, this is so nice--I don't even have words. You got TV's in the wall and shit. Rich."
"Are you up for a swim?" Beyoncé drawled, changing the subject. "I thought we'd take advantage of the unusually warm weather."
Onika smiled big. Swimming did sound fun. Her mother never let her go to city pools as a child. She said it was simply unhygienic. In fact, she could hear her mother now.
"Ugh! Them chilren in there peeing and carrying on. No! You will not ask me again."
Her smile slowly faded. "Girl this pneumonia weather. It's only gonna get up to 71 maybe then drop down to freezing tonight."
"I have a heated pool and jacuzzi in my suite. But first I'd like to take you to the Melting Pot. It's this adorable little fondue restaurant that I think you'll love. Lot of different fruits, meats, and breads for your picky stomach to choose from."
Onika frowned a bit but softened at Beyoncé smirk.
"I'm actually not that picky--wait I don't have a bathing suit."
The blonde waived her hand. "It's been all been taken care of."
"Okay." Onika laughed, laying her head against the tinted window. Her phone vibrated then, but it was just an email from SHEIN. Her heart sank a little bit.
Today was looking up and still she found herself checking her phone for any communication from Meek. Yeah they'd broken up weeks ago, but was a happy birthday text too much to ask after almost four years together? She was half a virgin when she met him.
