"Pay attention," I mushed her face away from me and pushed her in the direction on the table. Her team was doing a small press run before the preseason games start. With time passing much faster than anyone expected, nobody was ready for the upcoming season besides, maybe, Beyoncé.

It was mid August now, summer was approaching its end and I was sneakily planning Beyoncé's birthday party. Until then, I've decided to tag along to some of the press conferences.

Everyone swears that I'm turning into a basketball wife. They think I'ma be the next Vanessa Bryant or Ayesha Curry. I personally want them to stop speaking shit into existence and leave me alone.

I'm not a basketball wife.

Just a supportive girlfriend.

Bey kissed my lips and jogged over to the table once they called her name. I watched from the sidelines, texting my brother and getting updates about his conference as well.

I felt like a manager, making sure my clients were doing their job.

"I'ma kill him." My eyes roll as I lean against the wall and listen in the conversation between my girlfriend and one of the reporters.

"Do you have anything to report about your personal life at the moment, with the success you've achieved as of recently what will be the next step for you?" The woman asked and Bey just smiled.

"Well, right now I'm just trying to slow down. I'm booking a trip to Houston next week to visit some family, I have my amazing girlfriend with me today, and of course I have my sanity still intact. I'd say that my personal life is benefiting from my success in a positive way. Had I not chased my dreams and worked for what I wanted, I would've never gotten to this point in my life where I can say that I'm loving every single moment." She shrugged, sipping some water as the reporter continued.

"That's wonderful to hear, you mentioned your girlfriend. Would you care to explain how she became such a big part of your life?"

Bey glanced over at me and I shook my head, mouthing a no.
