"I can't believe you took this bitch to see Beyoncé instead of me." AJ said while walking into my office, Ming right behind her.

"You gon watch your mouth when you speak on me, I'll fold yo ass in two just like when we were kids. Don't be mad cause Nika loves me more." Ming said with a smug smile as she and AJ sat on the couch adjacent from my desk. They came to bring me lunch whenever our schedules coincided, I shook my head at the two of them, they argued like they had to wake up next to eachother in the morning.

"Quit it, I love you both equally, and Aaliyah I didn't even know you liked Beyoncé like that." I said getting up to grab the food they'd bought, we agreed on Thai and I usually just got pad Thai and an iced tea to drink.

"Who doesn't like the Queen? She's the baddest bitch." AJ said already digging into her food, I swear she acts like my mother doesn't feed her at home.

"Period." Ming agreed.

"So what are y'all like buddy buddy now and shit?" Ming spoke up again, I swallowed my food slowly trying to think of exactly what Beyoncé was to me.

"No...it's work." I said watching Ming's face shift to a smirk.

"Well shit, y'all was up on that rooftop for awhile at the party." Ming said suggestively and I rolled my eyes.

"Oh so you having private rooftop convos with the Queen? What y'all was chatting bout?" AJ questioned, and I felt my cheeks heat up thinking back to that night with Beyoncé, if people thought Ming was bad when it came to intrusive questions, her and AJ combined was like going on trial under oath.

"Girl we ain't talk about shit, just got to know each other, and she asked me to finish her tour with her." I said like it was no big deal, but in reality it was all I could think about.

"Oh bitchhhhhh run it back! You said yo ass is going on tour with her?" AJ asked and I nodded my head, I hadn't told anyone yet but the contract had came in today so what better time then now.

"That's some big shit Onika...Beyoncé is one of those people that's seemingly untouchable...and for you to have touched her to want to take you on tour with her, girl you got what she's looking for, that's says something about you because that girl got exquisite taste." Ming said causing me to blush unintentionally, I never hyped myself up too much and Ming noticed and always took initiative to do so.

"Exquisite taste in everything...but men." AJ said rolling her eyes and my face turned up.

"Why do y'all keep saying that?!" It was really starting to bother me that whenever a conversation involved Beyoncé, her marital status was almost surely apart of it.

"Because it's true! Shit we may not personally know her like you, but as a female that shit hurts, to see someone as gorgeous as her get played like that, it ain't right and she deserves better." Ming said heatedly crossing her arms.
