Now I could of gave the spare plane ticket to either one of my friends but yea it wouldn't be a good idea. First of all I don't want Marriah and Alicia knowing about what happen. Secondly I need Michelle to watch Xavier and Kelly, even though we broke up I don't want Xavier with her. Before I left Michelle and I talked about the situation and she promised me nothing will happen between them. I ain't stupid. As for Kelly well I'm still pissed at her so no, I don't want to be around herii right now. Yea I could of went by myself but I refuse to be attacked and having Shawn there will loosen the blow a little. Now, Shawn could of very well said no but I'm happy he didn't. Now of course I'm not going to tell him all of my family secrets but maybe he won't continue to ask about my family after this trip.
I arrived at the airport a few minutes to 6 and Shawn showed up a little after that.
"Hey Bey." He greeted me a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
"Hi."
We sat down and waited for our flight number to be called.
"So Beyonce I can't help but wonder why you invited me to meet your patents. I mean 5 minutes ago you didn't even want to talk about them."
"Simply because I didn't want to go alone."
"I understand that, but you do have friends."
"Shawn do you want to go or not?" I asked in an aggressive tone. He is starting to pissed me off, he could of said no.
"Yea I want to go, it'll be nice to get out of New York for a while. I'm just trying to understand why you ask me to come."
I sighed. I guess I could tell him a little of the story.
"Shawn I grew up in a very religious family and there were things that my family just wouldn't tolerate. And when I say very, I mean very as in my dad is one of the most famous preachers in Houston. Do you know how on Sunday mornings and early Saturday mornings they usually show those church shows were people be passing out and pretending to be healed?
"Yea."
"Well my dad had one of the shows. He quiet it when it started becoming more about the money then the lord. He ended up using a lot of the money he made to open up church and a community center." I smiled. "I remember growing up and singing in the choir with my sister, Kelly and Michelle and some other people."
"When I 15 I was a little confused about my sexual preferences. Now I didn't just come out and say mom and dad I think I might be a lesbian, they actually over heard me talking to Kelly and Michelle about it. Let me tell you they snatched me up so fast and made me start seeing a therapist. Well anyway the therapist didn't work, I ended up growing out of that phase on my own."
"So what made you hate them?"
"If you stay around long enough I'll let you know."
"Ok. I can respect that."
We boarded our plane at around 8 something. Normally I would of been pissed but since I really didn't want to go home the wait was ok. We arrived in Houston a little after 1 o'clock and we went straight to our hotel. When Carter found out that I had only paid for a single bed he paid extra for a double. I didn't complain because my mind was somewhere else. After we finished unpacking, we changed into some cooler clothes and then I called my sister.
"Hello." She answered.
"I'm here."
"Ohmygod really Bey you came."
"Yea. Where are you?"
"I'm at home. They released mom from the hospital this morning. She's still really sick but she insisted on coming home."
