My Rib

Chapter 7 - Move-In Day

Beyoncé sighed as she stared at all of the clothes in front of her - she didn't realize she had so many. She was trying to go through them to see if there were any she could give to Goodwill - clothes she hadn't worn in a while or those that didn't fit. She hadn't gained weight, but it had definitely moved to other areas of her body like her hips and ass and her clothes just didn't fit the same.

Shawn walked into her bedroom to see her standing and staring aimlessly.

"Baby what you doing?"

She looked over at him, "I'm trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with all of these clothes."

"You're not bringing them with you?"

"Well some of them yes, but some of them don't fit me anymore, or I haven't worn in forever and they're just taking up space," said Beyoncé.

He nodded understandably.

"Well make a pile of clothes that you're definitely bringing, and the ones that are left over you can give a once over and if you haven't worn them in the last 6 months then get rid of them," he said.

"That's a good idea," she said.

"Of course it is, it was mine," he said.

She smacked her lips.

"Don't get cocky now," she said, "How is everything else coming?"

"Good, we basically done. I came to find you to see if we could start bringing everything over," he said.

"Yeah that would be good," she said.

"You need me to help with anything before we go?"

"No baby I'm good. I would like some food though, I'm a little hungry," she said.

"Okay, what you in the mood for?"

"Whatever you want," she said.

"Now we both know that's not true," he said chuckling.

"No really baby, get me whatever you get for yourself," she said.

"I'll stop and get us some subs. Is that cool?"

"That's fine. Can you get me an iced tea or something too?"

"I got you," he said pulling her in for a hug.

"Mmm, I'll be happy when we're all done with this," she said hugging his torso.

"Me too. We almost there though," he said.

"I know. Thank you for doing so much, I appreciate it baby," she said.

"Of course. I wouldn't have it any other way," he said.

She smiled and reached up to give him a kiss. As always, he had to take it further and deepen the kiss. Beyoncé laughed as he tried to bite down on her bottom lip.

"Open up girl," he said.

"Baby nooo, we gotta get this done," she said.

"That don't mean we can't take a break," he said.

"We just did," she said.

He smacked his lips.

"That ain't the break I'm talking about but aight. I'll take what I can get," he said before he pecked her lips once more.

"You'll get what you want later," she said.

"Word?"

"Word," she said.

"Sounds good to me," he said,  "We'll be back."

"Okay baby, thank you!"

As Shawn exited the room Beyoncé turned back to her clothes and began to separate them into keep and get-rid-of piles. Surprisingly, she was able to get it done within 20 minutes. Just as she was bagging the clothes she wanted to donate she heard a knock at the front door. She opened the door to see Mama Tina and Solange. She sighed in relief because they could help her bring these bags out to her car.
