Chapter 69

Onika's POV

June 14

Zamora Grace Jones, my only baby, was graduating kindergarten today.

I already knew I was going to be a mess. My baby was really growing up, right in front of my eyes.

My emotions were all over the place. My period was around the corner, so I was just a wreck. Which is why I was crying first thing when I woke up.

Beyoncé was extremely confused when she heard me crying.

"What's up?" Her raspy voice could be heard from behind me. Then her hand began rubbing circles on my back since I was sat up in the bed.

"I'm sad, Bey." I confessed. "She's growing up so fast."

Before I could process it, she pulled me into her. My head was to her chest and her chin was on my head.

"Everything will be ok. Today will be good. Zamora is still your baby. Now let's enjoy however long we have left to sleep."

"I love you." I snuggled into her.

"I love you more, baby." She pecked my head before going silent.

My ear was still to her chest, so her heartbeat helped me to sleep.

When I woke up, I felt a lot better. Crying before the important part was like pregaming before going to the club. That was the only way I could describe the feeling.

"Get up." I poked Beyoncé butt and she swatted my hand.

"You be the first one fighting people for waking you up but want to bother me." She spoke but it came out muffled because she was facedown on her pillow.

"That's different." I said.

Since I knew she was awake, I got up and got ready to shower. First I brushed my teeth, then I got undressed and into my shower.

As I soaped my body up, I could hear shuffling around in my bathroom. That was followed by the flushing on the toilet.

All I could see was her figure moving around because the glass was all fogged up.

"Can I join you?" She asked as she washed her hands. That made my shower water go cold for a second.

"In the shower?"

"Where else?"

"Sure." I had no real reason to protest.

Deep down inside, I wanted to see her soaked in water again. Maybe we could sneak in a quickie before the day started.

I lathered my body in soap as I waited for her to join me. My heart fluttered a little when I heard the sliding door open and close behind me. Then she pressed her body up against mine.

"I brushed my teeth." She said. "Morning kiss please."

"No." I tried to wash the soap off of myself but she was covering half of my body, so I could only rinse my front.

Her hand snaked around my throat before she tilted my head upward. She latched her lips onto mine, swirling her tongue around my mouth. That elicited a soft moan from me.
