"Hey birthday girl!" I shouted to Solange, entering Bey's house with Trey. Today is Solange's 30th birthday. She didn't even want a party but Beyoncé insisted on throwing one anyway.

"Bitch you late!" Solange said, rolling her eyes playfully.

"Yeah, what was y'all doing?" Beyoncé smirked and pointed between me and Trey.

"We weren't doing what you think, I swear." I laughed. "I just couldn't find any shoes."

"Bitch...you come here all the time. What you need fancy shoes for?"

"It's a party, Bey. I can't be looking raggedy."

"You still do."

"You know what, i'ma just let that slide. I'm not here for you anyway." I handed Solange the gift I was holding. "Here you go boo."

Trey handed her a gift as well. "Happy birthday Solo."

"Ooo, I get gifts from both of y'all?" Solange squealed.

"My gift is better though." Trey replied.

"I'ma let that slide too." I mumbled.

"That means she's gonna bring it up later when y'all are alone." Bey said to Trey.

"I ain't even been here for five minutes and everybody is trying me." I rolled my eyes. "Why are y'all indoors anyway? The party is outside."

"Everybody out there wilding. I needed a break." Bey said. Solange nodded in agreement.

"You the one who invited them."

"Well I regret it now." Bey laughed and I laughed along.

"There y'all are!" I heard a voice yell. I turned and saw Lala entering the house.

"Don't come all up in my house shouting." Bey said.

"Oh girl hush. Anyway, Kelendria and Tremaine, nice of y'all to join us. May I ask what took you so long to arrive? Were y'all fucking?"

"Alani!!" I groaned. Y'all already know Lala has no filter.

"No we weren't." Tremaine chuckled. "It was Kelly's fault though."

"What she do this time?"

"She don't know how to plan outfits in advance."

"They were just shoes!" I exclaimed.

"Exactly. Just shoes. Meaning you shouldn't take 45 minutes to pick a pair."

"I hate you Trey."

He laughed. "I'm joking baby."

"I'm not laughing."

"I am," Lala giggled.

"Shut up--"

"Okay let's change the subject before Kelly beats all our asses." Beyoncé said. "I forgot to tell you Kelly, I spoke with my attorney a few days ago. He thinks you'll definitely be able to get some money out of this whole restaurant situation. He wants to help you."
