4 You

*2 Weeks Later*
September 4
Onika Maraj POV

I took a large sigh of relief as I unpacked my suitcase. The last 2 weeks had been extremely difficult, long, and unbearable. My husband had called me the morning after I slept with Beyoncé for the second time. She was actually still asleep in the bed my husband and I shared as I spoke to him. He expressed his deepest apologies to me for the millionth time and all but demanded I fly out to see him in New York.. so I did.

Long story short I was just returning today and hadn't been able to speak to Beyoncé since I had to abruptly leave. If it were up to my husband, I would've stayed in New York with him even longer than I did, but I was adamant I had to get back and oversee the renovations. In reality I needed to get back because today was Beyoncé's birthday. She didn't mention it to me personally but I overheard Alex bringing it up not too long ago while they worked. She didn't know or expect me to return so I figured I could do a little something for her outside of the little arrangement we had going on.

Now that I was finally back home and away from my husband, I called her phone. She didn't pick up right away, but nonetheless she answered.

"Hi um.. how are you?" I asked her, exhaustion clear in my voice. All the traveling had been so tiring but I was determined to still show up for her. She was away from her family on her special day so I thought she deserved it.

"I should be asking you that." She said.

"I'm okay. I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you since I had to up and leave. He was in my skin the entire time I was up there."

"It's all good. I hope you enjoyed your time away." She said simply. I ignored her nonchalant tone and continued on with what I had planned. As far as she knew, I had no idea it was her birthday.

"I have some questions about some things I noticed you and Alex put in while I was gone. Can you come over to take a look?"

"I actually have plans with Asia in like 2 hours. Can it wait until tomorrow?" She said. I didn't really give a damn about her plans with her little someone though.

"Nope. I won't be long if you hurry." I told her and heard nothing but silence for a few seconds.

"I'll be there in a little." She said before she hung up.

I wore a simple black dress with black heels as I waited on her to show. I was a little nervous and was secretly hoping I wasn't overstepping any boundaries by what I had planned. I truly did feel she deserved for me to at least show her some appreciation. I couldn't be only intimate with her in bed and in no other aspect. That just wasn't the type of person I was.

As I thought about everything, I heard her familiar knock on my door.

"Hi." I smiled at her widely. I genuinely couldn't contain how happy I was to see her. She smiled back and all I could pay attention to were those juicy lips and pretty teeth.

"Hey. What is it you had questions about?" She said before trying to walk past me into the house. I put my hand on her chest to stop her.

"Nothing. It's your birthday and I want to take you somewhere. The car is already ready." I blurted out. I had reserved a driver for the occasion as well. She looked stunned, impressed, reluctant... a whole slew of things really. I couldn't decipher if this was good or bad to her.

"I didn't know you knew... Thank you Mrs—"

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop that?" I reminded her. Being from New York and her being from Texas made us different in that way. She had a very potent southern hospitality to her.
