Love Bites

Ch. 9

Beyoncé // BeyBey

"Wayment, lemme get this straight, you and Rih are gonna share Nicki?" Shawn asks with his eyebrow raised. I chuckle and shrug my shoulders.

"If that's what she wants. The three of us haven't even sat down and talked about it. Hell, Nicki and I haven't even sat down and talked about it."

Right now me and the guys are sitting outside, chillin by the pool.

"You know as well as I do the girl's been feelin you. She been wantin what's between yo legs from the moment you two met." Trey says laughing.

"What happened between you and Mani?" Shawn asks as he takes back another shot.

"She has a thing for Dinah, and she knew I had a thing for someone else. She just didn't know who." I shrug my shoulders again. "I thought maybe it could go somewhere, but she's a good friend, and I don't wanna fuck that up."

The guys nod their heads understandably.

"Welp, now might be the time for you to talk to Nicki." Wayne says as he nods his head behind me. I turn around and see Nicki walking out. Her hair up in a tight bun and wearing some short ripped shorts and a crop top.

"Hey, Bey, are you ready?" I tilt my head to the side confused. "You and I were supposed to go to the mall today, remember?" Shit. I forgot!

"Um, yeah, I forgot. I'm sorry. Let me just get my shoes on and grab my purse and keys." She smiles softly and nods.

Talk to her, Bey, don't chicken out. I hear Shawn think.

I give him a small glare before turning around and smiling back at Nicki, walking past her to get my things.

The ride to the mall was quiet. Both of us consumed in our own thoughts. Damn, I wish I knew what she was thinking.

When I park the car, I hop out and go to her side to open her door for her. She blushes slightly and says a quiet thank you as she takes my hand and steps out. She doesn't let go of my hand even after I close the door and start walking.

"So, um, I talked to Rih." She says softly beside me with her head down. I stop walking and since we're holding hands it causes her to stop as well.

"Ok... and?" I ask slightly nervous.

"She told me about the conversation you two had last night." I'm shocked Robyn opened up and talked about that already.

"Ok, and how do you feel about it?" Her cheeks stay the pink shade as she bites her lip. When I look at her beautiful almond eyes, I get major butterflies deep in my belly.

"I don't know. Honestly. I've never really been with 2 people at once, especially 2 people who are so close together. I don't want to ever get in between you two or be the cause of any problems." She shrugs softly. "And I sort of thought you had a thing with Mani." She tilts her head and holds my gaze. I chuckle softly and shake my head.

"No, we're just friends. We decided that a romantic relationship wasn't for us. Plus she likes Dinah, and she knew I had a thing for someone else." I shrug and initiate our journey again across the street to the mall.

"And that thing... is it for me?" She furrows her eyebrows and stares at me. I nod my head once letting her know it's a yes.

She bites her lip and nods as well, walking slowly but keeping her fingers laced in mine. We walk inside the mall, and I can see she's in deep thought and probably has a million questions that I can't answer without Rihanna.

"Where's Rih?" Nicki snaps her head up and registers what I said after a few seconds.

"Um, sorry. She had to meet up with some people from your moms company. She said she's meeting us here in like 30 minutes though." I nod my head.
