Queens, New York

Beyonce

I made my way into the aisle, sitting down next to Onika. She moved her bag, letting me sit down. I looked up at Cavalli on the stage and she waved at me, smiling real hard. My baby.

"She's so happy to see you." Nika whispered in my ear.

"Yeah. When am I gonna be allowed to have her?"

She sighed. "When I'm sure she won't get hurt or she won't be collateral damage."

"She won't. Nobody's gonna mess with her. She's the Princess of the Kingdom, nobody's going to touch her."

"Just because you're changing doesn't mean everybody else is. Nobody in your line of work gives a damn about a child. You didn't until I said something about it. You need to protect my daughter with your life."

"I've been trying." I whispered back. "You're not trying to let me though. I need my daughter and I need you."

"Who said you didn't have us?"

"You. You're still not letting me in."

She shook her head. "You've got Cavalli but I know what you want from me. Pussy. I get it Bey, I'm not stupid."

"Tha-"

"Watch your daughter."

Onika doesn't get it, again. She thinks I just want pussy from her when that's obviously not the case. I wanna show her that I'm willing to sacrifice everything for her and Cavalli, even her alone. I'm gonna take my boys' advice and do something nice to show her I care more about her altogether.

When Onika stood up, I followed behind her to the stage. Cavalli jumped down into my arms. She looked so cute in her little ballerina outfit.

"You did good baby." I kissed her forehead and she smiled, looking at Nika.

"Let me take a picture of y'all."

"You gon' put this on Instagram, aren't you?"

"Yes." She said and pulled out her phone. It was like seventy picture in like one minute. She showed me the pictures and I picked the one I wanted her to post. It was the one where Cavalli was smiling at the camera and I was kissing her cheek. We looked cute.

"We're leaving, are you coming with us?"

"Where y'all going now?"

"First we're going home so she can take a bath then she has a soccer game at the school. After that, we're going to Nana's house."

"Y'all got a busy day."

"You could too if you decide to come or do you have business to handle today too?" She put all of her weight onto one side.

"I'm free woman."

"Okay."

At the house, while Onika and Valli were in the bathroom, I took Nika's extra key from out of the kitchen. It's what I needed it I was going to take Pretty Boy's advice.

"Beyonce where are you at?"

"Downstairs. Are y'all ready?"

"Come here."

I went upstairs and she was in her closet. "We gotta speak."

"Where is Cavalli?"

"Getting dressed, she'll be in here for me to fix her clothes soon. Your therapist called me, said she wanted to talk to me to get the whole picture." She said.
