'Suckin me in like a vacuum, I remember
Telling my family I'll back soon, that was December
85 and Jay-Z rise ten years later ,
Got me wise still can't break my underworld ties'
- Jay-Z Politics As Usual

I'll Be Back Soon

Beyoncé is in Chicago stretched across her old bandmates couch. They hadn't seen each other in some time due to their work schedules. Beyoncé  has spent most of the past year touring overseas and Michelle has been a staple on broadway for some time now.

The two are doing some much needed catching up over a bottle of Chateau Lafite . A gift from Michelle's ex. He requested that she save it so the two could enjoy it together. She was more than open to the idea, until she found out he was engaged. That was months ago. Although their marriage had ended the man still had a hold on her and she hates it.

"I don't know what it is about them I love so much. They're just so amazingly gifted. They just pull at my poor heart strings..." Beyonce gushes as she talks about her two young protégés Chloe and Halle.

Michelle nods she's suddenly got that urge to say something that may disrupt the languid mood they'd created. She decides to let her friend speak a little bit longer about her new found inspiration.

"I just love the way they look at the world and music. That Halle - Oh my goodness! I never know what to expect..."

Michelle refills her wine glass peering over at the blonde curiously. Beyoncé continues to brag about the new path of mentorship she's taken.

"Do you think any of this love and awe you have for them is rooted in you missing your daughters?" Michelle rushes out and immediately raises her glass to her lips.

'Searching my mind trying to figure this out,
Thought I was happy but I'm having some doubts...'

Their bandmate's voice fills the room as the silence grows and Michelle slowly lowers her wine glass . Beyoncé's eyes are dead set on her.

"What the fuck, Michelle?"

"I am SO SORRY, Bey!" She chokes out as they both burst into a fit of giggles.

"WELL...How long have you been holding that in?"

They begin to laugh even more.

"I'm sorry, girl!" Michelle says as they continue to have a good laugh. She passes her friend some tissues as the tears fall.

"It's okay, girl. Sometimes we need to hear it. You think I'm a trifling, good for nothing type of mother." Beyoncé jokes placing one hand on her chest wiping the tears from her face.

" I didn't say all that now. You ain't the first heifer to drop your kids off at auntie n nem house and never look back!" Michelle laughs pulling her auburn tresses to one side repositioning herself on the sofa.

"You bitch!" Beyonce cries throwing a brownie at Michelle that quickly falls apart.

"Now wait a minute, chile!Not on mama's white sofa!" Michelle begs grabbing her cushion and shaking it onto her coffee table. She didn't want any stains on her white carpet either.

'I'm hoping this ain't too hard to believe,
Cause baby you're the only one for me,
I know it gets hard when I'm moving in and out of state,
But I promise my heart for you I will save..'

" I do miss them deeply and I want them back but Lovie has been being really difficult about it. I think that may be why I've buried myself so deep in Chloe and Halle's career."

Michelle smacks the back of the pillow three times and gives it a shake before placing it back on her couch. She still sits on the opposite cushion. She'll use the hand vac later.
