Me & My Teacher

13

Beyoncé

The whole ride home was silent. I didn't know what to say but Nika's words kept replaying in my head.

Flashback

"Look I love you and always will but I'm serious about this. I've been through too much shit and I don't need this as another problem. You better do something about that woman. Or I will."

End of Flashback

I glanced over at her seeing she was staring out the window. I sighed before focusing my attention back on the road. We made it home and Nika got out. Usually I help her out but I guess she just needs time to cool off. I huffed and got out.

When I went inside I saw Nika storm upstairs. I shook my head putting my purse down going into the kitchen. "No fucking tonight right?" Shawn asked.

"Nigga shut up." I said chuckling. "But no. She's mad right now." I said playing with my fingers. "What happened?" He asked glancing at me. "A teacher tried to push herself onto me even when I turned her down. Apparently Nika saw and told me to tell the board. She also said if I didn't do shit about it she would." I confessed.

"Well if you don't do nothing you gone be in some deep shit. Especially with Nika." Shawn said looking at me. I sighed. "I know. And that's what I'm scared about. I love Nika and I don't wanna lose her over some bitch." I said putting my face in my hands.

"Aye Bey you always got options. You can do what she said and tell the board. You got Tune." He suggested. I nodded. "Well I'll try and nip it in the bud myself and if that doesn't work, I'll resort to my other options." I said getting up. He nodded and came over to me with his hand up. I smiled and we did our handshake.

"Alright boy you better tend to that food 'fore it  burn." I said walking to the stairs. "Oh shit!" I heard him yell. I laughed before going upstairs to my room to change. I saw Nika sitting on the bed paying me no mind. I chuckled bitterly before going into the closet to change.

I came back out and climbed in the bed next to her. We sat in silence for about 10 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore. "Can we talk?" I asked. She didn't respond. "Baby please?" I asked her. Still no response. "Please answer me I don't like this ignoring shit." I said getting irritated. "No we can't talk." She said about to get up but I quickly wrapped my arms around her keeping her from moving.

She laughed. Oh hell I got a crazy one... I thought. "Giselle let me the fuck go...." She said trying to get lose.

"No and we can talk. You heard the fucking conversation. I even scooted away. Baby you know I got options. I-"

"But you said we didn't have to do nothing." She said cutting me off. I sighed and scratched my head. "I didn't mean it like that. Like I said I got options. Tune? Lawyer?" I said looking at her dead in the eye. And she just stared at me. She leaned in pecking my lips putting her forehead against mine. "I hope you resort to one of them. Now can you let me go? You're squeezing me kind of tight." She said trying to get lose.

"Oh my bad." I said letting her go chuckling. "So we good now?" I asked. "Yea but you ain't getting none so..." She trailed. "I figured that." I said laughing. She then snuggled up into my chest while I flipped through channels on tv. "I love you." She mumbled. "I love you too." I smiled before kissing her forehead.

"Dinner's ready!" We heard Shawn yell. I went downstairs while Nika went to go get Jayden. When I was in the kitchen I made Jayden a bottle. Just as I finished Nika came down with Jayden who had a toy in his hand. She gave me him and when he saw the bottle he dropped the toy and grabbed the bottle out my hands.

Not too long ago he learned how to hold a bottle. Nika and I were happier than a fat boy given a chocolate cake.

I chuckled at the thought before sitting at the table putting Jayden in my lap. We all ate talking about random shit until the doorbell rang. "I got it." I said giving him to Nika.

I opened the door and a wave of anger took over me. "What you want ma?" I said crossing my arms. "Don't you fucking ma me." She said walking past me. "I never invited you so why in the hell are you here?" I asked.

"What I can't check on my daughter?" She asked stepping towards me. I chuckled. "First of all not unannounced. Second of all you just had an attitude. I feel like you came to be nosy cause you know that something happened to that idiot I used to call father." I said shifting my weight to my left leg.

I could tell she was thinking of what to say cause she knows I'm right. "What nosy? Pfft what would I need to be nosy for?" She said glancing around the room.

I face palmed myself. "Mother could you please leave? I'm trying to have dinner with my family. My food is probably getting cold." I said as calmly as I could. "Wait back up, family? You got a family now?" She asked.

"Yes. Problem?" I asked getting irritated. She started to walk in the kitchen but I grabbed her arm. "Don't you fucking go in there." I gritted. She snatched her arm away and quickly began to walk in there. "Shit." I whispered before following her in there.

Onika

While I was talking with Shawn and burping Jayden, an older lady who resembled Bey walked in the kitchen. I'm guessing that's her mom. She just stared at me. I started to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey Mrs. Knowles." Shawn said looking down at his food. "Hi Shawn." She said still looking at me. "Who might you be?" She asked me. "She ain't gotta answer to you." I heard Bey say. "I just wanna know her name Beyoncé. What is it?" She asked.

"Onika." I answered lowly looking at Jayden. "Are you related to Bey? And  who's baby?" She asked me. I shifted in my seat rocking Jayden. I didn't want to look up because I was nervous. "Something like that. And he's my child." I said keeping my eyes focused on my baby.

"Ma you making her uncomfortable now I'm not gonna ask you again can you please leave? Don't come back unless you have consulted in me do you understand? If you lie to Julius about you asking me, you will never be allowed to step foot on this property. Now get out." Bey said sternly.

They had stare down before Mrs. Knowles gave in. "Fuck it." She said and walked away with Bey behind her. I heard the door slam then open seconds later. "AYE DON'T BE SLAMMING MY SHIT LIKE YOU OWN IT!" Bey yelled. Shawn and I looked at each other and chuckled.

"What y'all laughing about?" Bey asked coming back and sitting down. "You." Shawn and I said at the same time. She chuckled too shaking her head. "It's my shit so if she break it she gone buy it." She said shrugging. "You are something else." I smiled eating. "You love me though." She said returning the smile nudging me.

"Damn right." I said. We then resumed our conversations eating.

Nika crazy but she forgave Bey. Yayy. 🙂

Jayden learned how to hold his bottle. If it was me I'd probably throw a whole party. 🤷🏽‍♀️
