The Basement

Chapter 5

Beyoncé was stressed.

After a confusing morning with Normani and Reneé, beyoncé had gone to her two other courses without a hitch. She had managed to call in with her manager to figure out her work schedule and broken up a conflict between two residents who had decided that putting paint into the building washing machines was a great way to get back at a girl they both hated.

Beyoncé handled it all with the poise and efficiency her mother had made sure to instill in her. The blonde was proud of herself for handling her schedule when everyone she knew said that she couldn't.

Until she remembered the resident meeting.

Bey Pov:

I can't believe I let this happen.

I'm usually so on top of things. I've never been late to a class, i've never missed a day of work and i am never unprepared.

This is all megan's fault. Her and her minions have kept me so sleep deprived and delirious that my mind has been so far from this stupid meeting. A meeting she probably won't even come to because she clearly doesn't give a fuck about any of the hall rules.

I glanced down at my watch and realized how truly fucked I really am. I only had an hour to plan and set up a meeting that won't make all my residents who actually show up die of boredom. I can't even call Robyn or Kelly cause they're busy with their own meetings that they got to plan without a group of demons next door.

I need some backup and quick.

I pulled out my phone and dialed the only number who wouldn't be busy at 3pm on a weekday.

"Keh? Can i ask you a huge huge favor?"

Four hours later all my panicking had finally paid off. Kehlani came over a mere ten minutes after I called them and saved my ass.

Keh is friends with more than a few of my residents so she knew exactly how to keep them all engaged. We put our heads together and planned a hall wide game night and came up with a prize idea for the residents who win the most games. Second and third place only get a few household items but first place gets any citation removal of their choice.

Well as long as they weren't cited for doing something criminally stupid.

"Thank you so much! You saved my ass today I wouldn't have been able to pull any of this off without you." I beamed.

As I was making eye contact with her I quickly noticed she was looking everywhere but my eyes.

Kehlani had always been a friend. We met freshman year after I got lost on the way to one of my classes. She helped me on my way and has stuck by my side since that day. She claims it's absolutely necessary because i'd get completely lost without her. She wasn't exactly wrong.

Her eyes were completely zoned in beneath my head and it finally clicked.

"You know you could take a break from eye fucking me and answer my question." I joked.

I was completely kidding. I knew kehlani was a flirt but she's never seriously flirted with me just small comments here and there.

"Well I could do a lot more than that if you wanted."

What the fuck.

The broad in front of me was undoubtedly fine. Fine didn't even do her justice. They were sex appeal incarnate and i'd be lying if I said I never considered going there with her. I weighed the consequences in my head. The last thing i'd want to do is ruin our friendship. But would it?
