On the outside everything seems fine, but on the inside Shawn is a broken man. He only has his daughter with him as he struggles and battles through his addiction. Beyoncé seems to be the finishing piece of his puzzle, but she has her skeletons too...

My son was expectedly lying on me while we watched chopped on tv. I've tried to put him out multiple times, but he refuses. He said he just wanted to "smell" me. Whatever that means.
"Move off of me, Egypt. I can't breathe." He moved his head down to my stomach. I guess that made it better.
I held my phone up to reply to the message I had just received from Jay.
Haven't heard from u today. U good?
I smirked a little before responding.
I'm good, you?
I'm straight
He attached an image of him and his daughter. She was lying on him the exact way Egypt was lying on me. I literally laughed out loud and sent him a selfie as well.
Clingy ass kids smh
When am I gonna see u again tho? 👀🤔
When you want to?
Saturday?
Bet
"Mommy, I have a taste for some ice cream."
"And I have taste for a million dollars. What's your point?"
He sat up just to frown at me. "Can you buy some ice cream on your way home from work tomorrow?"
"I'll think about it. What kind?"
"Umm... cookies & cream."
"You said butter pecan? Oh Okay. I'll get that one then."
"Mommyyyyyyyy! No."
I busted out laughing. "What's wrong with butter pecan?"
"I don't like it. I want the Oreo one or just vanilla."
"Fine, I'll think about it."
I let him finish watching the episode of chopped before I put him out for real. "Egypt, go somewhere. I'm going to start dinner."
"Okay." He sighed and hugged me before getting up and hopping off of my bed. I smiled inwardly at him. He was such a sweet, precious boy. So innocent... I prayed he stayed this way forever.
I got up shortly after him and headed downstairs to the kitchen. First thing I went for was a glass so I could pour up, next I had to decide what I'd be sipping on at this moment. After looking through my alcohol cabinet, I decided to grab the grey goose and put it on ice.
After I had some alcohol in my system, I started making dinner. Tonight's menu consisted of turkey wings, greens, macaroni and cheese, and garlic bread. I wasn't a chef or anything, but I knew how to feed me and my son.
