Mission One

Drop a couple hundreds'

"Beyoncé. Who is this?" Beverly heard a much older woman, that resembled the features of Mrs. Carter and Solanges' combined, ask to an irritated Beyoncé who seemed to be plotting the small teen's downfall.

The singer cleared her throat before pursing her lips. "Well, this is Beverly."

The older woman smacked her lips and scowled at her daughter. "Giselle, don't act smart with me."

"She's my daughter." Beyoncé shrugged. She didn't want to disclose any further information on the 14 year old girl, but by the way her family was zoning in on her, she was gunna have to.

"She and Ayesha share a close bond. We were unable to get Aysh off of her when it came to leaving. So, We did the only thing visible and adopted Beverly too."

"So, I get a new sister again?" The somewhat 5 year old girl, sitting to Solange's left, asked sarcastically, causing Beverly to discreetly roll her eyes.

"Why are we now hearing this?" A dark skinned woman now asked, as she exhaled through her nose and looked at Beyoncé.

"Because she's right there." The blonde pointed to the awkward teen, like the answer was obvious.

"No, Bey. Why are we now hearing about this, when you coulda' told us the same time you adopted Ayesha."

"It was an impromptu decision, Kelly." She rolled her eyes. "I haven't even properly revelled in the fact that I now have a 14 year old. So, calm down."

"But you revelled in the fact that you have another 5 year old besides blue?" Kelly remarked.

"You can't just pick and choose which fact you wanna take in because your plans didn't turn out the way you wanted them to. You have to take in the whole thing, even if it may change the dynamic you had in your head. It's part of life." The singer's mom spoke, which Beyoncé managed to tune out since her whole attention focused on the awkward teen who was looking for leftovers to fill her empty stomach. She watched in amusement as the teen silently lifted up every lid to find some food, but to her dismay she was met with empty trays which caused her to form a small frown before masking a forced smile when she felt all eyes on her.

"What's your name, sweetie?" The older woman asked, once she realised Bey was not listening to her. "Beverly Kerwood, ma'am." She took a small bow to show her respect.

"No need for the formalities, hun." She laughed. "You can call me mama Tina."

"I tried, mama. But she's as stubborn as B, over there." Solo instigated, with her mouth full of food. Tina raised her hand, ready to smack Solange for her horrible table manners but the young mother was already standing by the sink with her plate in hand. "I'll catch you, Piaget." She glared, wiping off the smug look she held.

Beverly giggled, along with Kelly. All heads turned to the source of the sound and smiled at the innocent looking teen, whilst Beyoncé's face held a scowl.

Sensing all eyes on her, the small teen ceased her giggle and steered her attention onto her torn shoes, suddenly feeling shy, almost causing Beyoncé to awe. "Are you hungry." Tina asked, softly.

She shook her head. "No, ma'am. I ate on the plane, thank you. I'm just feeling sleepy." She semi - lied, already knowing that it was better to not force Mrs. Carter's mother to make food just for her. She'd rather starve than be an inconvenience.
