When I pulled into a parking space at the police station, Candi was already there waiting for me.
I got out of my car and I walked over to her.
"You going to tell me what's going on now?" She asked with her arms folded across her chest.
"Yes! So, you know how I told you that me and Bey haven't really been in a good space lately?" I asked.
She nodded, "yea, but what does that have to do with us being here?" She asked.
"I'm getting to that." I said. "Well, the night before last, she told me that there was a lot on her mind and that she was trying to deal with it all and it was effecting the way she was acting towards me or whatever." She nodded her head, waiting for me to continue.
"So needless to say we talked it out and had some amazing makeup sex, and then fast forward to yesterday, you know she sent me flowers, so I thought we were good." I said.
"Again, what does that have to do with why we are here?" She asked, curiosity lacing her words.
"We are HERE because, when I came home yesterday night, all of her stuff was gone, and her phone is disconnected." I said. "I think something is wrong, because she wouldn't just leave me like that." I said.
She just looked at me. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her.
"You had me close the shop early, and drive all the way over to this police station, just to tell me that your damn wife left you?" She said.
"Candi, your missing the point. Beyoncé didn't just leave me,....well technically she did leave me, but I mean she didn't leave because she didn't want to be with me anymore. So therefore she is gone because of something else. No one else has seen or heard from her, which means she's missing. So since she's missing, I need the police to help me find her." I replied.
Candi gave me the same look that she was just giving me, but this time she shook her head and sighed.
"Look Nika, I love you,...but I think your trying to make this into something it's not." I scrunched my face up at her.
"The fuck is that supposed to mean Candi?" I said getting irritated.
"It MEANS that you are so hurt and in denial that your wife left you, that you are making things up to cope with it." She said.
"Yo... are you fucking kidding me right now?!" I said, as my anger was very apparent at this point.
"You think I'm just pulling this stuff out of my ass huh?" I said.
I chuckled angrily. "You know what Candi, you can go home. I'll go in there on my own, since I'm making this shit up." I said turning to walk towards the building.
"Ni-..." She tried to call my name but I cut her off. "Nah you good,...just leave me alone." I said opening the door to the station, leaving her standing outside.
When I walked inside, there were police officers everywhere. I went over to the front desk.
The person at the desk was on the phone, so when I got up there, they held their finger up at me, mouthing that they would help me in a second.
