Beyoncé POV
Episode 33:Running
June 7th
——————————————————

The bass was loud enough to drown out my thoughts. Good.

I ordered another drink before I even finished the first one. The bartender looked at me like he was concerned.

"Long night?"

"Tuh"

He slid another shot across the counter. I shook the glass examining it, muscle memory. I threw it back, by now it stopped burning.

Some girl smiled at me from the other end of the bar. She was cute, I didn't know her name didn't care to. I signaled her over.

She was lightskin, shorter than me, deep dimples and long straight hair. She looked familiar.

"Hello" She smiled softly.

"Hey what's your name?"

"Lauren"

"Lauren" I tasted her name on my tongue taking her hand. "Beyonce"

"Well Beyonce what are you doing at a club on a wednesday night? Isn't it too early to be partying?"

I chuckled. "You caught me"

She raised an eyebrow with a smirk across her lips.

"I guess I'm having a hard time and need a distraction"

I pulled the glass up to my lips wishing I was taking a sip of her instead. She caught the look so I pushed.

"What about you?"

"I'm here with my friend she's trying to get me out the house since my breakup"

"Ohh so you're single"

"Maybe" She shrugged but blushed.

Ten minutes later

By then I had Lauren on my lap making out with me and it felt good but not enough. I let my hands wonder to her dress straps making her pull away.

"Yo what the hell are you doing!? I'm not having sex at a bar"

"Wha-"

She groaned getting up to leave. I threw my head back.

"God damn Bey"

I called the bartender over for three more shots. At this point he mind as well give me the damn bottle.

"Bey? You okay?" I heard a familiar voice and a gentle tap.

I lifted my head to see it was kelly. "Oh..what are you doing here?"

I saw your location" She sat on the stool next to me. "What's going on with you?"

"I just fumbled" I pointed to Lauren across the room.

"Oh shit I thought that was Onika"

"What!?? she doesn't look like onika!"

"Bey...yes she does?"

"Ugh! Yall always have to make shit about onika NOBODY is thinking about her. She's the one who left her family why should I be hung up?"

I dont know why that pissed me off so much but it did.

"...Sorry"
