They were sitting in a tense silence, one that couldn't be filled with small talks. They were so close, yet so far apart. They were sitting on the couch together, but their minds wandered to different places. They couldn't look at each other's eyes, for different reasons. Onika couldn't meet Beyoncé's gaze, she couldn't bring herself to look at the destruction she has caused.
"I tried to make a home out of you, I did everything I could and some more to make us work. I shrunk myself and image down for you, so you can shine brighter than I have. And this is how you repay me?" Beyoncé stated in a deep monotone tone, one that is the complete opposite of the ugly brokenness that was slowly creeping upon her.
Onika stiffened at Beyoncé's voice, due to this being the first time that she spoke to her directly in days. She had shut her out the moment she knew of her actions, she refused to acknowledge her existence. She couldn't stand her silence, she cried as she asked her to open the door and hear her out. She even snuck in the room and found Beyoncé staring blankly at the wall, unmoving, her only sign of life was her blinking eyes; for even her breathing was shallow. She shook her, tried talking her out of her numb state, cried and thrashed around her, to no avail. Beyoncé was unresponsive to her, and that tore Onika apart.
"I didn't do anything you're thinking of. I could never do that to you, or us." Onika started saying, calmly, but stopped short when she heard Beyoncé lowly chuckling. She furrowed her eyebrows, as she dared to steal a glance her way to find her sitting down with her leg slowly tapping against the carpet, and in a very stiff manner with her head held high as she looked at one of their pictures together on her other side.
"You can look at me if you want, ion bite. This'll be the last time you'll be seeing of me anyway, so drink me in." She told her coldly, making Onika's heart drop at her words as she froze in her spot. Beyoncé chuckled humorlessly. "I don't need to wait for that to happen. I've told you once that all it takes me is one sign of disrespect, and I'll fly high as a kite outa your life."
Onika couldn't believe her ears, she felt herself panicking at the thought of losing Beyoncé forever due to her stupidity. "Surely, you ain't meaning that, baby.." She started off weakly, before she shut her eyes as she cringed, knowing that this was not the right thing to say.
"You want to bet, Onika? Or didn't Shawn tell you that I mean every word I say when you were meeting him behind my back?" Beyoncé said as she dropped the bomb, making Onika sigh as she rubbed her forehead in sheer distress. She was starting to lose her patience, and it wasn't a good thing.
"No, I don't want to bet, Beyoncé, because I am grown enough to let someone talk about certain shit they don't know before jumping the gun." She said aggravated at the fact that she was approached as a cheater amongst other things.
Beyoncé looked at her as if she has grown two heads, before running a hand over her mouth to not say something she might fully regret for the rest of her life. She didn't know if their whole situation will be repaired, but she refused to be spiteful and hurtful to her, which was an ongoing pattern that her ex husband, Shawn, would usually be bringing out of her. What hurts her the most was that she opened up to Onika about all the inflicted pain, the heartache, and the wounds that are still being healed, and she went and met the main cause of her fall from grace.
Onika sighed once she saw the distant tears threatening to spill out of Beyoncé's eyes. She refused to keep the secrecy of this whole situation that is causing them all this pain, she thought to herself as she abruptly stood up and went to fetch a small velvety box, one that Beyoncé has been missing dearly for so long.
"Here, baby." Onika said gently, as she thrusted the box in her girl's trembling hands. "I was meeting your ex husband in full secrecy because I was getting him to sell me your family's generational souvenirs. He is such a stubborn prideful man, but I am just as much of that, if not worse." She added, making Beyoncé crack a wobbly smile at her. "So I had to put in tooth and nail for this, and he finally gave in the same day you caught us talking.." She stopped mid-sentence as she realized how cunning the man was, and she shook her head. "Which now makes even more sense. The place and time of the meeting, you passing by, and us dining together there. What a conniving piece of shit." She said as she almost scoffed out loud at the fact that he wants to jeopardize their relationship still.
Beyoncé's lips quivered as she tenderly caressed the box. She couldn't believe her eyes, she's been asking Shawn to give her the priceless possession back for so long that she eventually gave up. She never thought that Onika would do this, but who was she kidding? That woman worshipped the ground she walked on, she remembered everything about her, and mended a broken heart she never broke in the first place. She felt awful that she had been doubting her motives. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions without listening at first. But you're also in the wrong, you hid this from me and lied to me, Onika." She said as she hastily wiped her tears away as she awaited her response.
"I omitted some partial truths for the sake of the bigger picture.." Onika started off, but trailed off wincing as Beyoncé hit her head upside down. "Yo, chill with those hands before I tie them up behind that ass as I handle this attitude." She told her dominantly as she stared her down, making her bite on her lip as she tried to not squirm under her heated gaze.
Onika smirked, knowing that she got Beyoncé right where she wanted her, but she was going to save that for later. "In all seriousness though, I'm sorry for not telling you about this all, I wanted to keep this as a surprise for you. I didn't mean for you to find out this way, I planned to tell you everything once I secured the gift and gave it to you under better circumstances. I should've done better, the intention was pure, but its execution was poor. Forgive me." She told her softly as she held her two hands in hers, placing gentle kisses on them.
"I... It'll take some time for me to fully forgive you and get over the lies, or the omitted truths or whatever you wanna call it, but I know it's possible." Beyoncé said as she chewed on her bottom lip, as she slowly melted into the tenderness of Onika's lips on her hands.
"And that's all I need. I promise not to omit no truths about anything anymore. The one time I tried, it almost costed me you, and I'm never trying that again." Onika said as she opened Beyoncé's legs, and sat between them with her head on her thigh, making her shake her head at her cuddly girlfriend as she ran her hand through her black curls.
