Beyoncé | Los Angeles, California
"You nervous baby?" I asked Blue as I helped her do her edges. "Just a little bit. Actually, a lot. Like I'm really nervous" she told me as she rubbed her hands on her jeans. "Nervous for what baby Blue? You're the one that pressed Bey to reach out to her" Solange asked her. "It's not that TT Solo, it's just—she missed out on my whole life. And mommy said she's in the army. What if she gets shipped out while we're trying to get to know each other? What if she—" Blue began to hyperventilate.
I turned her around held her face in my hands. "Baby, calm down. Yes, Solina is in the army but she was able to get a good amount of months off just so she could get to know you. She's also scared to meet you too believe it or not" I told her. "How come?" She asked. "She doesn't want to break you and—Shawn's— relationship. She wants to be in your life...if you accept her" I told her.
Blue frowned as she pushed her braids off her shoulder, "of course I accept her—she's my mama" Blue said and I smiled hearing that. I bet Solina is gonna flip when Blue calls her that in person. "Alright y'all, we gotta go now" Angie said as she stood up.
We all filed out of the house and into our cars. Kelly, Angie, Solange, and Mama all came to be safety blankets for me. I was scared as hell for this whole meeting. To make things worse, I still didn't tell Shawn about anything.
In my defense, he's been spending time with his mistress(es) more frequently so I can't really find the chance to do it. I mean, I could do it over the phone and let him drop dead from a heart attack at the sudden information but that would be too cruel. Right?
Pulling up to the back of Parkwood HQ, we all filed out and made it into the building. I told Solina that she and her sisters can come to the front and my secretary will either send them up or a very light, bald headed man will come down and bring them to us. I was shaking in anticipation. Solina could literally walk through the door at any second now.
"What's the first thing you're thinking of saying to her, Blue" Mama asked, trying to spark conversation. "I don't even know. I might cry when I see her" she said. I looked at her with furrowed eyebrows, "Cry?" I asked. She hummed, "It's like—I can't really explain it. Like, last night my mind was making up all these scenarios of her being hurt in action or something and like I would never be able to see her y'know" Blue said with a small chuckle.
I frowned at her words. "I know it's scary but we also don't know of the extent of her duties. Hell, we don't even know her rank. Maybe she stays behind the scenes where it's safer baba. We won't know until she gets here" I told her and she nodded.
Just then, my intercom beeped throughout the room.
"Mrs. Carter, there is a...Solina Smith down here asking to see you?" Blue snapped her head to me as I pressed the button on my intercom. "Can you tell Julius to bring them up for me, Amanda? Thank you" I told her and sat at my desk.
