Disclosure

Sure Thing, Doc

*That Night*
August 1
Beyoncé Knowles POV

I listened to music in the car as I waited for Mrs. Harris to arrive to Velvet. It wasn't 10 yet, but I arrived early just because. I could have gone in the club and waited there but I didn't want a lady of Mrs. Harris' status walking alone into a bar in a neighborhood like this. My parents had taught me better than that. As I waited, I scrolled through my texts and saw a text from a girl that I took some classes with, Asia.

Asia: Missed you over the summer. Excited to see you tomorrow 🩷

As soon as I was about to respond, I saw what must've been the newest edition of a matt black BMW pull into the parking lot of the bar.

She couldn't have driven anything semi normal over here? I thought. I was glad I had waited on her. She was a walking lick in an area like this. I then hopped out of my not so nice car quickly and approached her BMW. Had I known her a little longer than a day, I would've opened the door for her but I didn't want to alarm her. When the door swung open, she stepped out in an all black dress that hugged her thick body. It had a deep slit that showed a little more of her thighs than what I would be comfortable with if I was her husband. I shook off my fever and grabbed her hand softly to make sure she gracefully stood to her feet.

"Thank you.. This is the spot huh?" She asked me as she closed her car door.

"It is.. are you sure you're comfortable.. we can go to your side of the city.."

"This is fine." She patted my chest before starting to walk towards the door of Velvet.

"Hey make sure you lock this!" I yelled while still standing next to her car. God damn, talk about loaded. Once I heard the sound of it locking, I rushed behind her.

"You made sure you brought your ID right?" She smirked at me as I laughed lightly. We both then took a seat at the bar while I tried to ignore the gazillion eyes that were on her.

"So.. what was it you wanted to run by me Mrs. Harris?"

"Onika." She corrected me again.

"Sorry I-"

"What can I get you?" The young black woman asked both of us.

"I'll have a martini." She requested while sitting as elegantly as ever. The bartender then looked at me and back at Onika and I knew exactly why.

"Uh.. If you want a martini we might have go to the other side of town after all." I laughed and the bartender smiled sweetly as she waited for Onika to pick a drink more fitting to the location.

"Hm i'm okay right here.. how about you order for me since this is your territory?" She asked me before licking her lips.

"She'll have a liquid marijuana..i'll take one too." I shrugged before Onika laughed.

"Show me your age without telling me your age." She said.

"You don't know my age."

"I know you're in college. It's either between 18-22. Since you're old enough to drink i'm gonna guess 22." She guessed correctly. She was definitely showing off her intelligence. I nodded my head to let her know she had guessed correctly.

"Since i'm exposed, do you mind sharing yours?" I asked. I was a bit timid because asking a woman her age was the first thing my father taught me not to do. Onika didn't seem to mind though.

"I'm 35." She said confidently as she looked at me like it was going to run me off. Instead I smiled at her.

"I can't say I would've guessed that correctly." I said shyly.
