Thick & Thin

Chapter Twenty-Two; Love Sick

1 Month Later

Days eventually turned into weeks and unintentionally Beyoncé and Michelle began to distance themselves from Kelly.

This had happened many times before with them individually but never on these terms. Kelly even found herself conjuring up an apology for each of them but still didn't seem to be enough for the two of them.

Contradicting herself in the act, Kelly continued seeing Greg behind Roy's back and became a little too comfortable in the process. It wouldn't take long for her to realize that what her girls had warned her about would be coming to light sooner than she thought.

Beyoncé and Michelle on the other hand went on living their lives; still close as ever.

Of course it was a little weird without Kelly around all the time, but they weren't going to sit around and sulk about it. It wasn't their fault she had acted the way she did. She had herself to blame for getting all defensive around them all of a sudden. When she was ready to calm down and be herself again, they'd be there of course. But until then, they still confided in one another for almost everything.

"I can't believe you're even considering taking him back." Beyoncé shook her head; positioning the phone in between her cheek and her shoulder.

"See, that's where you're wrong! I only agreed to let him come over here and say what he had to say so he could come and get his shit up and out of my house." Michelle frowned and glared at the cardboard box by the foyer. It was filled with Kevin's belongings and quit frankly she was fed up with looking at it.

"Whatever, Same thing." Beyoncé replied. "If I were you, I'd throw it in the garbage."

"You're just evil."

"And?" she laughed as if nothing was wrong with that comment. She'd heard it all before.

In her opinion, Kevin had totally crossed the line and she couldn't understand for the life of her why Michelle hadn't burned his stuff already. 'You'd think as many times as we've watched Waiting To Exhale you would've learned something by now.' she would say.

"He's just coming to talk." Michelle assured her as a cover up. She actually wanted to hear what he had to say to her, but of course she wasn't going to confess to that.

"Talk about what!? How much of an asshole he is?"

Michelle chuckled and leaned back on the sofa pondering that exact thought. She definitely had a point.

"Grrr." Beyoncé groaned jilting Michelle from her thoughts.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I feel like I'm going to be sick."

"You're stomach still hurts?"

For the past week, Beyoncé had been complaining about cramps; not to mention a constant feeling of nausea. With furrowed eyebrows Michelle tilted her head and laughed. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were pregnant."

Silence quickly fell over the line and Michelle stopped laughing. "B?"

"That is nothing to joke about Michelle!" Beyoncé retorted angrily, and Michelle stifled a laugh.

"I'm not joking! How else would you explain everything?"

"It was probably something I ate."

"Denial", Michelle rolled her eyes and picked up her remote; proceeding to change the channel. Yet again, she had been using the same excuse for days now, but still refused to go to the doctors.
