BEYONCÉ KNOWLES
The Gala
August 2016
♡ ♡ ♡" BB, where are we going?" Nicki asked as I stepped out of the car and held my hand out for her
She hesitantly grabbed my hand and stepped out of the car. " no matter what, you stay near me," I said, looking into her eyes. She nodded, looking around
" Onika." I said sternly, " I'll stay near you, promise." She said softly. I kissed her head and led her inside with sarge behind us
" Beyoncé Knowles." I heard. I looked at the woman who stood before me. " Naomi," I said plainly.
" It's been a while." She said, running her hand down my arm. I snatched her hand away and held it up. " This is my girlfriend, Onika," I stated, letting her hand go. She backed away, forcing a fake smile onto her face looming at Nicki. " You're beautiful. I'm happy for you both." She said.
Nicki looked her up and down, " Nice to meet you," She mumbled, and Naomi nodded, " You as well."
I led Nika away, greeting other people before sitting down at our assigned table. " BB, what is this?" she asked
I smiled, taking a sip of my wine, " Think of it like a gala." I explained. She looked around some more, and I placed my hand on her lap to ease her nerves
" Can I have a drink?" She asked. " They only have water and wine." I said, " Would you like a glass of water?"
She shook her head, " I just saw that server pour water from the tap behind the bar."
" I'm sorry, Nika, I should've brought you something else," I said, rubbing her thigh, " It's fine. I can just have wine." She said in a more questioning tone
I looked over at her and sighed deeply. She's with me, and It won't get her drunk.. why not. I waved the server over and told him to bring another glass.
" This one time," I said, and she nodded her head. The server brought the wine back quickly, bowing to me as he gave it.
" Don't ever do that again," I said to him. " Sorry, ma'am, I just know you hold some type of royalty to the city."
" I'm just another person. Don't bow to me. It's weird." He nodded and apologized going to serve another person. I rolled my eyes; This is why I stay inside
" Can I drink it?" Nika asked softly, " Yes, love, it's yours." She looked at me skeptically, holding the glass in her hand awkwardly. "Hold the stem, or else your hands will warm the wine," I said, fixing her hand placement
" sip it, don't chug," I said, and she did as told, taking a sip. " It tastes like cranberry juice."
I chuckled, " I know, but It's not."
