*The Next Day*

Beyoncé Knowles POV"Happy birthday darling." My mother's voice rang out over facetime.
"Happy birthday Juju!" My younger sister, Solange, cut in right after her causing me to laugh. We looked so alike that people often mistook us for twins.
My smile spread wide across my face. I missed my family so much. I had gone off to California to run my business while they stayed back in Texas.
"Thank you mommy. Solange we still have a bone to pick though." I playfully threatened her while my mother laughed heartedly.
Solange had set me up with Nia all those years ago. She too thought dating someone in the same industry as me was a good idea.
"Ju how was I supposed to know?! Forget her anyways, you're literally going to the most popular gala of the year. Just get you another Nia!" My face scrunched up at the last part.
"...I mean not another one....you know what I mean!" She stuttered over herself before my mother cut her off.
"Sweetheart you don't need to date someone of your status, that's your father talking. Why not get you a nice, normal girl hm?" She said to me softly.
My nerves got bad at the mention of my father. He was the sole reason of my stress and anxiety these days. The pressure of being his protege, God it was too much. Solo always complained about not getting the baton passed to her, but she didn't understand what all came with it. I spent my entire 20's and 30's making sure to prove to my father I was worthy. Now at 40 years old, still no wife, still no kids, no social life really. But hey, the business was thriving. I sighed sadly as I thought about it before responding to my mother.
"I'm fine mother. Honestly, I don't have to date anyone. It's not a necessity."
"Well honey I want grandchildren and you aren't getting any younger." She complained, the wrinkles in her forehead showing.
"Mom please.." I trailed off, embarrassed.
"Oh I know you're shy honey but look at you. You don't have to say much." She winked at me causing my cheeks to turn a dark red.
"Ok mom I gotta go I love you both!" I laughed as I hung up.
"The women in my life will be the death of me." I said under my breath before I got dressed for the gala later tonight.
*Later that night*
There was a knock on my door while I put on my finishing touches. I opened the door to find Kelly standing there. I nodded my head in approval, she looked good.
