HOUSTON/ TX
A Few Days Later....
Megan POV
I kept thinking about the date long after it was over.
Not the food.
Not the lights.
Not even the flowers that Azari had placed in completely random spots because she insisted she was the "date planner."
I kept thinking about Beyoncé.
About the way she had looked at me when I walked into the backyard.
About how nervous she seemed to be waiting for my reaction.
And about how she smiled when I told her I loved everything.
My feelings for her hadn't arrived all at once.
They were growing quietly.
Little by little.
Every conversation. Every laugh. Every time she checked on me just because she wanted to know how my day was going.
That night, after Azari had finally gone to bed, Beyoncé and I sat outside beneath the string lights.
She reached over and took my hand.
"You deserve to have people think about you," she said.
Something about the way she said it made my chest feel warm.
I rested my head against her shoulder.
She leaned her head gently against mine.
And for a while, everything felt easy.
I liked her.
More than I had expected to.
And maybe that was what scared me.
Because liking Beyoncé meant there was suddenly something I could lose.

The Next Morning
"Azari, baby, wake up." A tiny groan came from beneath the blankets.
"No." I smiled.
"Yes."
"No school." Beyoncé walked into the room carrying a little outfit. Her therapist suggested that we try and get Azari in school earlier so we can work on her social skills.
After everything that happened my baby now has serious social anxiety.
"Definitely school."Azari pulled the blanket over her head.
"I changed my mind." I laughed.
"You can't change your mind now."
"Why?" she questioned.
"Because you have to go learn."
"I already know stuff." she stated confidently.
Beyoncé raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
"I know everything."I looked at Beyoncé.
"Apparently, we're raising a genius."
"She told us yesterday she was the date planner."
"That's an important career." Beyoncé said.
Azari finally peeked out."Do I have to go?"
Her voice was quieter. I immediately noticed.
So did Beyoncé. She sat beside her."You don't have to be scared."
"I'm not scared." she said with a slight shake in her voice.
