Her, too

Chapter Nineteen

November 5, 2014

Bey woke up from her slumber with a smile on her face. She had taken the day off today from work, because it was a much needed break. Not only did she need it, it was requested by Shawn. Normally, she wouldn't have even entertained the thought, but she truly missed him. They had been talking since he's remembered everything, and she was loving the change.

They were spending the entire day together. Nothing was truly planned, they were going to free ball it. She got up and went to do her normal routine in the bathroom. When she exited, she looked through her wardrobe. Since she didn't know what was going to happen, she knew that wearing pants would be the best choice. She put on a black leather front sweater with pants that were similar leather in the front and regular pants in the back. She chose her heels and looked to see her phone ringing.

She answered it without looking at the name, but she figured who it was.

"Hello?"

"So you actually did it?" Shawn asked in a shocked manner.

Bey laughed softly. "You thought I was going to bail on you?"

"Actually, yes."

She laughed before falling back on her bed. "Well, sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Carter."

"It's fine, Ms. Knowles, if that is your last name."

"It's not."

Shawn laughed. "Stop playing."

"It's as if you forgot I was married. When are you coming?"

"I'm actually outside."

Bey rolled her eyes and hung up the phone. She grabbed her purse and keys before leaving the house. She got into the passenger seat of Kanye's car before looking at Shawn.

"When are you going to buy a new car?"

He frowned. "You forget I'm not a big shot?"

"You bought me a car."

"Yes, I did. Can I have it? I kinda need it."

She laughed at that. "How about no?"

"Worth a try. How are you?"

"I'm fine. How are you?" She asked as she watched the road. Despite his accident, Bey wasn't afraid of his driving. From what she understood, the crash wasn't his fault, it was the other driver's fault.

"A bit sleepy, but I'm okay."

"Long night?"

"With my daughter."

Bey beamed at that news. She was happy that Shawn had finally figured out that his bond with his daughter was probably one of the best bonds in the world. "I'm proud of you."

Shawn stopped at a red light and looked at her with curiosity. "Proud of me?"

"Yes. Do you want honesty?"

"Always."

"When we broke up, I honestly thought you were going to stop being a father."

He watched as she bit down on her bottom lip. It signified that she probably thought her confession would've offended him, but it didn't. He was actually glad that she was able to be that honest with him. She probably wasn't the only one with that thought.

"I made a vow to be a father, and that's what I'm going to do. I wanna thank you for actually opening my eyes to that bond. That little girl...she's amazing."
