Beys POV
Date night
7:30pm
I walked into the restaurant after giving my keys to the valet. I went to the host and asked for a table under the name of Shawn Carter and he lead the way. When he escorted me to the table, I saw Jay with a fresh cut, a nice suit, and he looked too handsome. I licked my lips and checked him out until her noticed me, then I smiled and walked up to him. He stood up and greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. Then he pulled out my chair and helped me sit before going back into his own chair.
"Hey Beyoncé, how have you been?" He asked
"I've been fine, how about you?" I asked
"I've been good, so what is it like being a OG/BYN?" He asked and I raised my eyebrow
"Well it's really fulfilling knowing that I'm helping a child be born into the world. And I love it when the babies come back and get check ups and what not because I just love kids. And the whole thing, I do it for a bigger reason. But you'll find that out down the road." I said then sipped some of the Champaign that was in the cup in-front of me.
"What's the down side?" I She asked and I chuckled
"Well eventually you get tired of seeing other woman's vaginas, but it's all work." I said and he bust out laughing. His laughed was so funny that it made me laugh a little bit
After the laughing died down I asked him a few questions and we went back and forth until he ordered our food. When the waiter left he looked at me and smirked
"By the way, did I forget to tell you that you look gorgeous?" He said and I blushed and said thank you.
"So what are your interests besides work?" He asked
"Well I really love music, art, dance, and poetry. You may think it's lame but that's just what I love." I said and he shook his head and lowered mine feeling dumb that I even told him
"No I want to hear more. What do you love so much about it?" He asked and raised my head back up and smiled
"Well I just feel like I have a strong connection to art in general. I love finding the meaning behind things. Especially abstracts. Because there can be so many different meanings. And with music it's a way to express your self through words and art like paintings, sculpting, and drawings you can express yourself through your hands. It's just so cool to me." I said and he look so interested
"So what's your favorite kind of art. And can you do any type art yourself?" He asked and I just smiled because he's showing so much interest in what I like, unlike other men that I've attempted to date.
"My favorite kind of art is music and poetry. Because I write and sing myself. But it's only for me, I would never show anybody else. Also abstract painting. I would never show anyone else that either because I don't want to worry about getting anybody's approval you know? I just want something all to myself."I said and he nodded and smiled
"I hope one day you get comfortable enough with me that you'd show me your talents." He said and I blushed
"Hopefully, what about you? What are you interested in besides your career?" I asked wanting to know him
"Well just like you, I love music and poetry, also art. I love going to museums and looking at the wonderful things people interpret through art. I also have a thing for helping the youth." He said and a raised my eyebrows
"You do? What do you mean?" I asked
"Well being that it was a struggle for me growing up and my siblings, I want to make sure kids can do what I couldn't and be okay and I want them to have a place where they can escape from what there going through. Or have somewhere to go when they don't have anywhere to go. I just want to have a place where the youth can Enhance there gifts and abilities and can be recognized for there abilities. Also where they can go, a place to lay their head down, the workers would help them find jobs and things like that. I'm sorry I got a little carried away, it's just a dream anyways." He said trying to dismiss everything that he said but I grabbed his hand a stroked it with my thumb and gripped it and he smirked
"No jay that's amazing that you want to do that based off of what you've been through. Really. And it doesn't have to just be a dream you can make it come true, I'd support it. You seem so passionate about it so I know you really want. Have you told anyone else about your idea?" I asked and he shook his head
"No one besides my sister and now you. No one else really asks about things like this. Or they would just agree if it were money coming to their pockets. If it wasn't, they'd wouldn't care." He said and I nodded because I know exactly what type of people he was talking about
Right after he said that our food came and we ate and kept small talk going. When we were done we kept talking until the waitress came and gave us the check.
I reached for it and he playfully smacked my hand away.
"Girl what you think you doing?" He said putting his card in the book
"I was trying to pay for the bill now take your card back and let me pay." I said and he looked at me amused
"Nope. I asked you on a date there fore I'm going to pay for the both of us." He said and I breathed hard and rolled my eyes. "Lose the tude and suck it up." He said and I laughed
"Okay fine, but at least let me pay the tip." I said and he sighed
"Beyoncé no." He said sternly giving the book back to the waitress. And I don't know what came over me but I felt myself get hot and shifted in my seat. I stared him down hard and he stared back at me until his card came back.
"Okay how about this the next date we have, you can pick the place, and pay for the both of us." He said and I was okay but I wanted to mess with him
"Who said there would be a next date?" I said and he looked shocked and cleared his throat about to say something but I cut him off. "I'm just playing, I really enjoyed myself and would love a next date. I'll text you the details." I said and he said okay. I grabbed my things so I could go home and he helped me out of my seat and walked me to my the valet. He pulled my car around and jay pulled me into a hug. And I hugged him back while inhaling his scent. He smelled so good. The he pulled back keeping his hand on my lower back looking me into my eyes. He leaned in to kiss me and with no hesitation I kissed him back. It was just a peck but I wanted another one so I kissed him again. When he tried to lean in again I put my finger on his lips.
"Until next time." I said then turned around and walked to the my car. The valet open the door and I thanked him and gave him a tip. Then I got in my car and drove home. Back to feeling lonely again. I got into the house and kicked my shoes off at the door then took my dress off on my way upstairs then slid my underwear and bra off and threw on a big t shirt by the time I got into my room. I washed the make up off my face and wrapped my hair then pulled out the picture, kissed it and went to sleep. I'd just text jay in the morning
