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.
