Three.
"You know, between you and Ru someone is going to make me fat" I took a bite out of my breakfast that she had ordered for me
"You're already fat" she joked, I laughed and secretly wondered if there is any truth in her statement
"When are you going back?" her eyes found mine before answering me with a shrug
"Won't your father summon you back?" she took a sip of her strong black coffee, I grimaced thinking of its bitterness
"I told him I needed a vacation, I've been working nonstop for 3 years." I nodded in understanding while my gaze never left her
"And he just agreed?" I knew her father was a very difficult man; he had a certain image for his family and held his daughter especially to a very high standard
"Mom convinced him, I don't know how she does it honestly" she said through a laugh, I smiled softly
"Maybe its love" I teased making her roll her eyes in return
"I highly doubt it"
I collected my stuff for work as she watched me as If she was deep in thought. I turned to look at her in concern; she looked like she was deeply troubled. Although it kills me, I know she loved and maybe still loved that asshole
"Look, I can try to come back earlier today and we can maybe go see a movie? You should try to get your mind over the jackass" she chuckled a little and nodded her head in agreement.
"I'd love that"
I couldn't help the smile on my face even though I knew this would be nothing near being a date. It was the closest I would ever get to being a date with Beyoncé Knowles.
"Okay, I'll see you in a few hours then. Call Ru so she can come keep you company" I suggested
"I called her yesterday; she said she would be back in Milan today. She offered to stay but I told her that's not necessary" she explained. I leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before saying my goodbye and leaving the house.
"Your 1pm appointment is here Dr. Fenty" I took the folder Nurse Jessica gave to me
"Samuel Black? I didn't make an appointment with that asshole" I looked up at the confused Nurse in front of me.
I strutted my way to my office with fierceness I didn't know I possessed. I found the asshole looking around in my office. His 6'5 well-built figure was the reason Bey and so many other women fell at his feet. I hated it. I hated the fact that I understood why she was so attracted to him in the first place
I cleared my throat as I entered my office; he turned to face me and 'dazzled' me with his best smile. I rolled my eyes at his failing attempts at charming me even though he knew I am gay.
"Mr Black, I wasn't aware I had an appointment with you" I motioned for him to take a seat as I took mine too
"Yes I know Rob but I need your help" the panic in his eyes made me disregard the fact that he annoyed me by calling me by my nickname
"And how do you think I can help you?"
"I need to do an HIV test"
"Mr. Black, your results are ready" my voice stopped him from pacing up and down like he has been for the past few minutes after I took his blood test.
He sat down in the chair opposite mine. I could see the anxiety on his face, he was even trembling a bit.
"I'm sorry to inform you Mr. Black but you're HIV Positive" he further crumbled as I broke the news to him. It was hard for me to sympathize with him; my concern went immediately to Beyoncé.
"Hey, how was work?" I was greeted by the beauty when I stepped in my house. I smiled to myself thinking of what life could be like if this could be my everyday reality
"Hectic, what's that smell?" I watched her smile broaden as placed my work stuff on the couch and went to her. she was busy with setting the table. it looked like a thanksgiving brunch was about to commerce
"Well I was bored and decided to cook a little, except I think I went a little overboard" I chuckled at her. Table was filled with food, yum
"A little?" I teased
"Okay, okay maybe it's too much for two people. I just needed to stop thinking... you know" my earlier thoughts came rushing back to me.
"Yeah... maybe we can invite the crew over? You know Aubrey and Khalid would eat like 3 quarters of this alone" she laughed at that.
"Okay you can do that and I'll go take a shower. Unless you wanted to go first?"
"No its okay, you go. I'll call everyone" I suggested. She nodded before making her way up my room.
I sighed and rubbed my temples thinking about the events of today, I wondered how to approach this situation with Bey. I mean telling her would mean breaking the patient-doctor confidentiality but this is my girl, what can I do? I need her to get tested ASAP.
