Chapter 53

Beyoncé's POV
Airport
December 8

My jet was being cleaned, so I had to book first class tickets for Onika's friends. I sat patiently waiting for them to come out of their terminal.

I really liked them. They were cool as hell.

"Bey?" I heard my name and turned. It was Robyn calling me. I smiled and waved them over.

They both picked up their speed and I shared a hug with both of them. After that, I walked them to the luggage conveyer belt.

They were going to be here until Christmas. So they both had two suitcases each. I packed all their suitcases on a trolley and pushed it towards the parking area.

I drove my Escalade because it had a bigger boot. They climbed into the car and I put their luggage in the boot.

"So she has no clue we're coming today?" Lauren asked as I buckled myself in. I turned the car on before responding.

"She has no clue." I chuckled as I pulled out of my parking spot. "She got mad at me when I told her I had to run errands."

She was like 'you really leaving me on my birthday?'. I literally told her I'd be back within an hour.

"She always got an attitude, for real." Robyn chuckled.

I let those two talk the whole way to Onika's house. When I got there, I didn't honk or anything. I told Robyn and Lauren to stay in the car so I could get Onika.

I had a key to her house so I just walked through. I couldn't hear her but I could hear music so I followed the sound.

She was in the kitchen, so I slowly crept in there. She was turned around. Her frame was in front of her sink and she was whining.

When she saw me she screamed and stopped what she was doing. Then she turned her music off and told me to leave. I laughed it off and ignored her.

"Put a blindfold on."

"No? For what?" She questioned in one breath.

"I have a birthday surprise for you. Please." I explained. "Or I can cover your eyes. It doesn't matter."

"I thought you had errands to run?" She sassed.

"I did, and now I'm done. Hurry before your birthday surprise runs away." I rushed her and she mugged me before walking towards me.

I let her walk down the hallway before I covered her eyes and led her outside.

"Beyoncé, watch where you're going." She gritted when I made her stumble. I rolled my eyes and kept guiding her.

"You can get out the car now." I spoke to Robyn and Lauren. They silently did and stood in front of it.

"I recognise those footsteps." Onika commented. That made us all look at her weird. She could sense the weird glares.

"What? I know everyone's footsteps." She shrugged.

"Nobody cares." I irritated her. She reached back to pinch me but I moved before she could. "Open your eyes in 3...2...1."

I uncovered her eyes. When her eyes landed on her friends. She couldn't contain her excitement. She ran into Robyn's arms first because she was closer, then Lauren.

Tears streamed down her face because she hadn't seen her best friends in months.

"Stop crying, Oni." Robyn comforted. Then she turned to comfort both Lauren and Onika as they cried.
