Thick & Thin

Chapter Fourteen; What Love Can Do

           

"I'm going outside." Brendan informed his mother before practically running out of the house; knowing good and got damn well something was about to go down.

"It's time for you to leave." Beyoncé said looking at Terrell.

"Oh, so you just gonna kick me out now huh." he laughed taking note of the sudden change in her mood.

"I'm not playing Terrell, I can't keep doing this with you."

'Yeah alright. We'll see.' Terrell thought to himself and put his shoes on before sliding his shirt over his head. He shook his head at an apparently shaken up and nervous Beyoncé before opening her door and coming face to face with Shawn emerging from the steps.

"Sup man." Terrell said calmly and gave him a simple head nod before heading down the stairs and out to his car. Of course Shawn was a little taken back by what he had just saw and kept looking back and forth from Beyoncé's bedroom and to the stairs before he gave up and walked into her room. She was fully dressed, but this was still looking a little too fishy to him.

'What the fuck?' he thought and jerked his neck in her direction with confusion written all over his face as she emerged from her bathroom.

Beyoncé walked up to him; hoping he'd ignore the whole situation. After all, Terrell was Brendan's father, he'd been here plenty of times before and Shawn knew that.

"Hey baby!" she reached up; rubbing his shoulders and kissed him. When he didn't respond the way she liked him to, she took it upon herself to go ahead and fill him in. "He was just dropping Brendan off, babe chill out!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really!" she said raising her eyebrows.

"Well what does him dropping Brendan off have to do with you two being up here in your bedroom, while Brendan's outside riding his in bike? Huh?" Shawn said calmly and prying her hands off of him.

She was usually quick with her shit, but for some reason she stumbled on this one a bit, making it completely obvious that something had went down. Maybe not to the extent as to what Shawn thought, but something happened.

"He was changing the light bulb in the bathroom for me baby, I couldn't reach it." She laughed saying the first thing that came to mind.

"Bullshit, Bee. You forgot I did that for you the other day? So what the fuck was he really up here for?"

"Nothing Shawn! I came home and he was in here watching TV. Nothing happened!" she cupped his face with her hands and stared into his eyes. "You trust me don't you!?"

He bit the inside of his lip and nodded a simple yes; giving in with ease.

"Then stop worrying so much." She kissed him and rubbed the back of his head.

No matter how much Shawn tried to deny it, he just had one question for her. Much to her dismay, he had caught on to a few things and had a feeling that she was still sleeping with Terrell, but didn't want to say anything for some reason. Seeing him walking out of her bedroom had pissed him off just enough to give him enough balls to say something to her about it.

He managed to push her away and pursed his lips to speak but she cut him off with another kiss; harassing his tongue with her own and gently biting his bottom lip- turning him on even more. He already knew this was probably in her plan to draw attention off of what just happened. He wasn't going to let it slide just yet though.

"Come on." he stooped her and took her hands into his own and held them. "I wanna ask you something."

"What is it?"
