"Babe hurry up or we're gonna be late!" He shouted from downstairs. "Ok ok, I'm ready" I said straightening out my burgundy satin dress and putting on my black heels. My hair was loosely curled and my makeup was bomb. "You look so sexy" He said grabbing me by the waist and pulling me into a kiss. "You look mighty sexy yourself" I said wrapping my arms around his neck. "Do we really have to go?" He asked lifting my dress. "Yes we do. Solo met this guy and she really wants us to meet him" I told him pulling his hand away. "Fine, but once we get back..." He pulled me close and whispered. "I'm going to wear...you...out." He smiled. "Oh are you? Well then I guess we better hurry up and leave" I said looking into his eyes and smiling back. *** "Hey guys" Solange greeted us as we walked to the table. "Alan this is my sister, Beyoncé, and her husband, Shawn. Guys this is my boyfriend Alan." She said. "Nice to meet you Alan" I said. "How you doing man" Shawn said shaking his hand. "This is a really nice jazz club" I said taking my coat off. "I know right. Alan told me about it" She told me. "Yea I used to come here a lot. I really like the variations of jazz instruments they have here. Something about it is very calming." He said staring at the band. "Hi I'm Matt and I'll be your server tonight. Can I start you guys off with some drinks?" The waiter said while taking out his notepad and pen. "How about we only have drinks tonight?" Solange asked looking around the table. "That sounds great" I said. "A bottle of champagne please" She told the waiter. "Ok, let me know if you need anything else" He said putting his notepad away and leaving. "So, Alan tell us a little about yourself" I said, eager to get to know him. "Uh well what can I say, I am a middle child, my father was an army veteran, and I'm a music video director." He told us. "Wait like for celebrities and stuff?" I asked him. "Beyyyyyy" Solange groaned. He laughed for a while. "No it's fine. Yea I've worked with Katy Perry, John Legend, Fall Out Boy and some others." He replied. "Wow that must be amazing" Then I felt Shawn pinch my leg really hard and it didn't help that my dress was split at the thigh. I jumped and pushed his hand away. I felt his nail imprints in my thighs. I cleared my throat quietly and moved away from him slightly. "So how are you guys?" Solo asked us, bringing my attention back to them. "We're better as ever." Shawn answered with a fake smile and pulled me closer to him. "CAN YOU-" I began to yell at him. "Here is your champagne. Need anything else?" Matt asked looking around the table. "That will be all thanks." Alan told him. "Bey...you wanna come with me to the bathroom?" She asked looking into my eyes. "Uh sure" I said glaring at Shawn. We quickly got up and shuffled to the restroom. Luckily it was empty because as soon as we got there she shut and locked the door. "What the hell is going on with you two?!" She whispered/ yelled at me. "Nothing...I just-" "No Bey don't try to sell me that bullshit. I can see it all over your face." "See what?" "Your unhappiness." She looked in my eyes. "Solo don't worry, I'm fine...Shawn and I are fine. I just got a little agitated that's all" I told her, hoping she believes it. "Really?" "Really, stop worrying" I said fixing my hair in the mirror. "Ok Bey but just know that I will always have your back and I'm already to beat somebody's ass if I need to." She smiled at me. "I know. Thanks" I hugged her. *knock knock* "CAN YA'LL OPEN THE DAMN DOOR, I GOTTA PISS" We opened the door and some lady in a bright purple dress rushed past us and into a stall. "Uhhhhhhhh" The lady sighed in relief. "Lets go" I whispered as we quietly walked out. *** "Let's dance" Shawn told me while grabbing my arm. "Ok ok...I'm coming" I said getting up and walking to the dance floor. We came together and began rocking side to side. He pulled me in close and whispered "I'm having a great time. Are you?" "Uh yea I guess" I said nonchalantly. "I'm sorry I pinched you babe. I just got nervous." He apologized, kissing my shoulder. "It's fine" I said blandly, rolling my eyes. He spun me around so his mouth was close to my ear. "I can't wait to rip this dress off of you tonight." He slowly ran his fingers up and down my arms. His words sent chills down my spine. "Bey we're gonna head out" Solo told us. "We'll go too" Shawn said. He grabbed my coat for me and we headed out. *** I've had this chapter written for weeks.
