Scorned

Chapter Fifteen

Chapter 15

The morning sun rose, shedding light right into Beyoncé's sleeping face. She scrunched her face and tried her hardest to turn around to not have to face the reality that she actually has to get up for the day. She couldn't help but feel like a teenager whose mother was banging on the door for them to get dressed for school. Throwing the covers off of her body, she climbed out of the hotel's queen sized bed and went into the living room part, where she faced last night's mess. Her eyes scanned over the two empty wine bottles, empty wine glass, and the many plates from the Chinese food that Shawn had brought last night.

"Shit," she cursed under her breath, but knew that she needed to go ahead and clean it up. One day was the only amount of time that she gave herself to feel down and sulk. She hated the prolonged days, and they simply were not good for her. She hated feeling sorry for herself and hated the pity parties that people threw for her. She wasn't s charity case.

Beyoncé began throwing away all of her mess and cleaning up to her best ability before going into the bathroom to officially start her day. She scrubbed her body from head to toe to rid herself of the disappointment that she felt. She stood in the mirror and examined her naked body. It had been so long that she just looked at her body. Her curves were still banging, but she could clearly see the downside of not working out and probably taking care of her body. Many people wouldn't see the problems that she saw, but Beyoncé had grown almost too familiar with her body.

Shaking her head, she grabbed her Victoria's Secret Dream Angles nude push-up bra and began putting it on. Close by it happened to be her same colored lace thong. She was feeling nude today and wanted to show it by wearing all nude today. Beyoncé stepped into her nude colored zipped back panel dress. It wasn't your typical work attire, but Beyoncé wasn't your typical office worker. Truthfully, she didn't have to be at the office all the times she went, but she sort of enjoyed the environment. She enjoyed watching the men take peeks of her, but remembering that they were at work and how strongly Shawn felt about fraternization. Beyoncé finished off her outside with her nude colored Christian Louboutins and Versace's nude signature purse before leaving the hotel for the day.

Beyoncé made her exit from the hotel and straight into her car. For the first time since last night, she checked her phone for the voicemails and missed text messages. She was surprised to see that Giselle had sent her a text that simply said that she loved her. Bey chuckled softly before calling her sister.

"Hello?" Giselle answered, as if she only answered the phone without looking at who was calling. Beyoncé could clearly hear the chaos in her house, which let her know that Ethan was running amok while they were trying to get him ready.

"What is my nephew doing?"

Giselle sighed. "Love how that's what you want to talk about, but he just got out the tub, which means that he thinks it's time to run around without clothes."

"And instead of taking pictures to embarrass him in the future, you're stressing?"

Giselle laughed softly and shook her head. "I'm just tired, Beyoncé. I feel like I'm going to have a breakdown."

Beyoncé frowned at that. Giselle didn't sound herself. There was only one time that she could remember Giselle sounding this way, and it caused Bey's stomach to drop. "Why?"

Giselle yelled at Ethan to go to room before finally replying to Beyoncé. "Ryan hasn't necessarily been here these past few days. I'm used to taking care of one child, not two."

She knew that Giselle wasn't blaming her for anything. She was simply venting to her sister and telling the truth. Giselle was only used to taking care of one child at a time. Given Ethan's age, she needed to give him as much attention as possible, especially because he was an only child that was used to having all of the attention.
