Rih POV
I blew a raspberry on her cheek and she giggled. I love her so much, she's like my little sidekick. I carried her all the way to the other side of the house where my room was. I sat Maj on the bed and took a deep breath before hitting call back. It barely rang twice before she picked up.
(phone convo start)
Bey: Where the fuck are you?!
Rih: Hi, baby!
Bey: Answer the question.
Rih: Uhm... I'm home.
Bey: That's weird, because unless you moved without telling me, I am standing in ya house and I don't see you anywhere!
Rih: *sighs* I meant... Barbados.
The line went silent. I pulled my phone away from my ear to see if she'd hung up on me. Nope.
Rih: Hello?
Bey: I'm here. *pause* Why'd you leave?
I lay down and Majesty crawled over to me. I pulled her on top of me and started playing with her hair.
Rih: I just needed to get away for a lil' while, I guess. I'm sorry I didn't- wait, is dat Blue?
I'd heard a little girl's voice in the background.
Beyonce: Yeah. Say hi, baby. It's 'Ana.
Blue: *yells into phone* Huwow?!
Rih: *laughs* Hey, Booboo. Whatchu doin'?
In the short time I spoke to Blue, my mood had lightened. That little girl is too cute. Finally Bey came back on the line and I remembered what I was about to do and got sad again.
Bey: You said you had to get away. Get away from what though? *whispers* I thought...I thought we were ok? Are you mad at me? Did I do somethin' wrong?
I sighed. This is it. I'm going to tell her that we should take a break. Or just break up. If Jay has anything on me, who's to say she won't end up doing it later anyway? I can't go out like that, I got too much pride.
Rih: Actually, I been thinkin' and it just seems like tings are gettin'...I don't know, complicated? And messy. Very messy. *pause* Are you even listenin'? Baby?
She didn't reply. I mean, I know I wasn't really saying shit but can I get a response? I heard her talking to someone in the background, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. She finally put the phone back to her ear.
Bey: Hey babe, Ima call you back, ok?
Rih: *sits up* Who was dat?
Bey: Huh? Uh, nobody. I gotta go-
Rih: Wait-
Bey: Love you, bye.
(phone convo end)
Rih: Well dat went well, huh Maj? *looks down* Aaand ya sleepin'...Cool.
I look back up in time to see Rorrey crash-land onto my bed.
Rih: *whisper-yells* Idiot! She jus' fell asleep, man.
Rorrey: Sorry! I jus' came to tell you Mama said food's ready. Anddd...
Rih: And??I got up carefully, with Majesty in my arms and huffed impatiently when he didn't respond.
Rih: Ok, I goin-
Rorrey: I know about you and Missus Carter.I kinda knew he knew, and he usually stays out of my business. But if he's mentioning it, it means he's about to get involved. Sigh.
