"Here" Beyoncé smile handing me a box of hot chocolate

"Babe we can't afford this"

"Can I do something nice for my girl without her worrying about money" I smiled pecking her lips

"How's your cramps" I ask

"Terrible"

"Ms. Mitchell gave me some DVDs. How about we cuddle and watch movies while drinking hot chocolate"

"Babe I got that for you"

I shrugged "I want to share"

"Okay blow the mattress up" as soon as the words left her mouth I wanted to start crying and she could tell "it's going to get better"

"You always say that and it only get worse"

"We alive ain't we" barely "but we do need to talk"

"I know rent is late"

"And we can't keep riding around with that damn donut on the car. We're going to have more problems to fix and we ain't got the damn money"

"I get paid this week"

"That check is for water and lights"

We definitely need the water "we can't have water or lights with no apartment" she smacked her lips

"This shit is tiring" I mean it is but she already knows that "imma pull a double you gone have to sit in the car"

She doesn't like me being at the apartment alone. We live in a rough ass neighborhood, it's what we could afford. Barely but.

Beyoncé's family is actually wealthy but as soon as she came out as gay and announced I was her girlfriend they kicked her out.

She lived with my family until my father lost his job and my mom couldn't keep up with everything so all of us were left homeless. She remarried and didn't give a damn about us

That was two years ago and Beyoncé and I have gotten this far. "Does your back still hurt"

"Onika I sleep on a fucking air mattress duh my fucking back gone hurt" I just shook my head. She's so irritable as if I'm not going through the same stuff

"I was thinking" I pick at my nails "we can stay in the car for like two months and we wouldn't have rent so we could save that money and get a little bit of furniture and then get an apartment back"

She looked at me "oh so help me God" she walked towards the bathroom slamming the door. I bit my bottom lip to stop the tears. She's not always irritable like this but when she get in this funky moods I just try to stay out her way. "Why the fuck isn't the hot water working?"

It was starting to get cold outside so the old complex pipes freeze sometimes. I started blowing up the bed and gathered all of our covers trying to make it cute. I grabbed the small laptop and put a movie in putting it on one side of the mattress seeing as though we cuddle every night.

I then walked to the kitchen and grabbed a pot running water in it before sitting it on the stove. The apartment was as clean as it'll get. We both are usually at work and we don't have a lot to dirty up.

I opened the fridge and it was only one piece of chicken left from the other day. I warmed it up and unplugged the fridge and then the microwave. This building is so old you really can not pull too much electricity or the power will go out. Plus it saves a few dollars on the electric bill.

When Beyoncé came out she sat her clothes in the bin. "Here baby"

"Did you eat"

"This was the last piece but I had ate at work" I was hungry as fuck but she works at a warehouse. She burns way more calories than me

"Are you hungry"

"No just here"

She grabbed the plate pecking my lips and we walked back to the room. She ate the chicken and would make me bite it after her each time. "I promise this is just temporary"

"I know"

"Imma get you a big house and an even bigger wedding ring"

I smiled pecking her lips "you gone make me your wife?"

"Hell yeah! I love you girl" I smiled

"I love you too"

She would never understand it but she's my home. If a rich man came for me tomorrow I'll be with Beyoncé.

Maybe milk him so that I could spoil Beyoncé

I love everything about this girl "you put the chair behind the door"

"Yes. I plugged our phones up, made sure alarms were set, and now I'm making us hot chocolate"

"Our phones gone get cut off tomorrow so you take me to work tomorrow and take the car. When you get off come straight to my job and wait in the car Onika"

"Why do you have to call me Onika"

"Because I'm not playing with you. Do not go to the park or nothing else. I don't need anything happening to you and I can't get in contact with you"

"Okay baby"

I'm actually going to go give plasma when I get off work. I'll get $100 and I can get us some noodles and some things for Beyoncé to take to work. She hates when I give plasma because I get so weak but I'll just have to face that. She goes to bed hungry at least six days out the week.

"Seriously"

"Lay down let me give you a massage"

She smirked showcasing her one dimple "I'm still bleeding"

"Nobody trying to be grown"

"That's why my back hurt in the first place"

"Stop" I blush as she laid on her stomach. I sat on her butt and started to give her a massage. When I heard her snoring I got up and turned the water off. Maybe we can have some in the morning.

I plugged the laptop up so it could charge and then I cuddled up with Beyoncé and went to sleep.

When our alarms went off we got up and did our daily prayers before showing each other some love them we got in the shower and did the rest of our hygiene.

Beyoncé was driving us to her job "straight here Nicki"

"I know baby" I whine a little because she said it fifty times

"I love you" she smile

I actually hate her job so much. All of the men and women flock over my wife and it's so annoying. If they knew how she was living they wouldn't even spare her a second glance. Going through stuff really shows you who's in your corner. It sucks that it takes that but it's life.

"I love you more" I pecked her lips a few times and she got out and I climbed over the seat

It's sad when you get to the point where you literally are just here. You wake up and it's like a repeat of every other day. Nothing changes, it's all the same. You wake up and just wing it to get the day over with, just to do it all again the next day. I'm not living, I'm just surviving at this point.

Beyoncé got my back and I got hers. This is temporary.
