a week later..
today beyoncé was flying down here to stay for a week. i usually don't bring chicks to my crib, but i can trust her. i also feel like i should be able to invite who i want over without overthinking shit all the time. i'm gonna start trusting more rather than thinking everybody is out to harm me or my kids. i know what i'm capable of and i would hate to show anybody that side of me.
i had taken a shower and everything so all i did was just grab my keys and leave out the house. bey had already messaged me when she touched down. i was on my way to pick her up from the airport. i was all smiles like winter when she was getting some food.
the music that blasted throughout my car was paused when i saw an incoming call from autumn. i never answered a call so fast, "hey, what's up?"
"mama..." it was winter calling from autumns ipad. since winter said she wants tasia to be her new mama i been acting like i didn't know her. joking or not i didn't find it funny.
"can you please give my daughter her ipad back? i don't know who this is im speaking with." i joked. she would cry at any given moment. she doesn't like it when someone gets her back for playing so much.
"but- but it's me winter."
"did autumn invite you over for a sleepover?"
"no, this is mommy's house. i live here"
"take the phone to autumn please. i wanna talk to my daughter"
"but mama im your daughter too" she whined.
"i thought you wanted fantasia to be your mama."
"no, i was just joking. i have one mama and it's you"
i smiled and melted all in the same second, "okay, but it made mama really sad when you said that. i didn't think i was the best mama."
"you are the best mama of the whole world"
"thank you, jellybean." ill always smile big with a nod of approval when my kids say that since i sometimes think i've failed as one. i'm not too big to admit i be needing validation from them sometimes.
"welcome...." i looked into the camera and saw her smirking.
"what is it, winter? i know you want something."
"the new chipotle honey chicken please. i saw everyone on tiktok trying it." them and this clock app stuff.
"are you able to order it from that dash app?"
"no they can't take cards right now and mommy said she doesn't feel like driving."
"go and ask autumn if she want that too." i'm already out so i may as well.
"wait, stay on the phone..." she trailed off getting up. im sure she was going to find autumn, "mama says do you want the new chipotle chicken?"
"winter is that– give me my ipad!" autumn shouted.
"no! i'm talking to mama" winter shouted back. i guess it was a shout battle.
"ill give it back just let me tell her something."
"do you promise?" winter asked in a slight pout.
"yes, ipad please." autumn wasn't giving her that back.
i had a incoming facetime call from bey. i would call back as soon as my kids were done, "autumn"
"yes?"
"you alright?"
"yeah, im okay. also, i don't want that chicken– i ordered hot honey rub wings with extra seasoned fries from wingstop."
