Ms. Masochist

X

When she woke up she felt a strange feeling. Like something was weighing heavily on her finger. Slowly, she fluttered her eyes opened and immediately something caught her attention. It was a 5 carat diamond engagement ring. Her mind wandered, and she finally realized that Shawn did this. It was his awkward way of proposing to her. It took a while for her to get out of bed because she kept admiring the rock that sat on her finger. 

No one had ever gotten her something so extravagant or did it in such a coy way. It caused her cheeks to turn red in color. Deep down she knew her answer to Shawn would be yes but she had to weigh her options. There was no other man she wanted but she was so used to being alone. Solitude was calling her name and she just didn't know if she could deal with living with him everyday. Plus, she knew they were both diamonds in the rough. Then she looked at the ring and thought of him and the possibility of a life growing inside her and yes seemed like the only answer. Plus, she loved Shawn to death. She overlooked his shortcomings and loved him in the most unselfish way ever. 

Finally Beyonce lifted herself from the comfortable bed and walked to the adjoining bathroom. She took a hot steamy shower, washing her hair while she was in there. When she stepped out she dried her body and hair off. She applied lotion all over her body and moisturized her hair; putting it in a messy bun. She threw on one of Shawn's baseball shorts and some lace underwear. 

She slowly walked down the stairs in search of him. When she finally found him he was in his office talking on the phone. It sounded like a business call but she didn't care. She sat on his lap and started kissing all over his neck. 

Jay moved the phone away from his face and said " Bey, this is important," 

Beyonce shrugged her shoulders and sucked her teeth, indicating that she didn't give a damn about his phone call right now. She continued kissing and sucking his neck and soon she had given him hickeys. 

" I'll call you back later Mr. Simmons," he said and threw his phone to the other side of the room. 

"What you doing baby girl?" he asked her. 

"I want us to try for that baby you've been wanting," she said to him. 

He wasted no time attacking her lips. He wanted so badly for her to become pregnant. He wanted to start a family with her and spend the rest of his life with her. He looked into her eyes and gently ran his fingers through her hair before kissing her again but this time gently. He wanted nothing about this to be rough or rushed. He wanted her to be comfortable, he wanted them to actually enjoy one another. He wanted this to special because she was special. 

A few hours later they were laying in bed wrapped in each other's arms. Even though she said that she wanted to try for a bay Shawn still felt a bit insecure. He had left an engagement ring on her finger but she had yet to give him an answer. He knew that maybe they did it in the wrong order but he couldn't wait. He also was afraid that she just really didn't want to marry him or commit to him. 

"I'm just wondering if you're okay with all of this Beyonce. I know you saw the ring and you never gave me an answer. Plus I feel like I'm forcing you and I just don't want you to-" 

She cut him off by kissing him gently on his lips. 

"There is nothing I'd love to do more in this world than marry you and be the mother to your kids Shawn Corey Carter," 

A smile swept across his face, and he realized this is the happiest he had ever been in his entire life. He lifted her small body up in the air and spun her around until they both became dizzy, then they collapsed on the bed again. She snuggled up against him and felt tears of joy fall from her eyes. 

------------------------------------------

Tyran walked down the road and quickly rushed into his home, ready to see his family. He was back to doing Shawn's dirty work and quite frankly it was taking a toll on him mentally. Unlike Shawn he had a conscience. 

"Baby," Bianca said. 

He gave her a hug and kiss and stared her deeply in her eyes. 

"Did you go do that thing again?" she asked referring to helping Shawn. 

"Yes babe, there was no blood though, I just do background checks on the guys now," 

Bianca sighed out. Shawn payed him very well, soon they'd be able to move from here and get a big nice house on the country side like she had always envisioned. The thing is, she loves Tyran and she doesn't want him getting involved with Shawn again. 

Shawn cared deeply for his friend but Shawn had his mood swings. He could possibly kill Tyran if something ever got messed up. This is what feared Bianca the most, what it Ty ever upsets Shawn, that could be the end of her family. 

"Where's Tyra?" Ty asked his fiance. 

"She's in her room playing with her toys," 

Tyran walked into his daughter's room and smiled. He could still remember the hard time him and Bianca had decorating it. His daughter loved pink and ballet, but she also could be a tomboy. She just had so many different interests and she expected all of them to be displayed in her room. 

They opted on soft pink wall color, with all of her little sports trophies on display in a nice glass case. They also had canvas paintings of different ballet dancers on the wall and then a large book case for all of the books she loved to read. His daughter was extremely talented and very smart. 

"Hey princess,"

"Daddy!!" she yelled. 

Tyra ran up to him and gave him the tightest hug ever. She hadn't actually been able to spend time with her father in days due to him doing a job for Shawn. 

"Hey baby, how about we go out for icecream?" he asked. 

"I'd love to daddy," 

"Okay pumpkin, change into some clothes that you can leave the house in," 

She put on a baby blue romper with matching shoes and her mother put her hair into a curly pony tail. 

"I'm ready daddy!" she yelled out. 

He smiled and grabbed her little hand. They walked down the block to the ice cream shoppe. When they walked in they ordered the usual. Tyran loved plain vanilla chocolate but Tyra like some of everything. So the owner, Mr. Higgins, gave her a special bowl and mixed different combinations for her. He adored Tyra so he didn't mind. 

They sat down to eat the ice cream when Tyran saw a familiar face walk in. It had been years since he saw her but he knew who it was. It was Renee Carter. He quickly grabbed his phone and texted shawn, sending him a picture as well. A few minutes later a little girl came in behind Renee. She looked so distraught, and he noticed she had bruises on her arms. She tried to cover them with a long sleeved sweater but whenever she moved her arms, the sweater moved up exposing the bruises. 

The little girl then walked up to Renee and called her mommy. Of course Renee was short tempered with the girl. Then tyran sent a pic of the girl. He probably shouldn't have told Shawn but Renee's murder would be a justified one.
