SCARED OF LONELY

Beyonce POV

My eyes flickered opened. I turned to my side and Shawn wasn't there.

"I guess he left," I said to myself.

I got up and went to do my bathroom routine. I settled for some sweatpants and an oversized T-shirt.

I got out of my room and went downstairs to make breakfast. As soon as I was approaching the kitchen I heard voices and a bit of shuffling.

"Can I please have some more pancakes Mr Shawn," I heard a tiny voice which I'm guessing was Ray.

"Here you go fella," Shawn said.

I decided to just stay hidden and listen to their conversion. I've always wondered what those two talk about.

"Ray, you know we have to talk about what you said to your mother yesterday," Shawn said.

"What did I say yesterday?" Ray asked.

Shawn slightly chuckled. "You told your mom that you hated her and that really hurt her feelings."

"I didn't mean it," Ray said lowly. "I was just mad that's all."

"Even if you were mad, that was very hurtful. Imagine if she told you she hated you. Would you feel good?"

"No," he said lowly.

"Even if you are mad, you must watch what you say to people. Remember, you can't take back what you say so you gotta be careful what you say okay?"

"I get it. I messed up. I hurt mommy's feelings. How can I make it all better Mr Shawn?"

"You're her son. You know her more than me but for starters, you can start by apologizing," Shawn said.

That's enough eavesdropping so I decided to enter the kitchen.

"Good morning," I said entering the kitchen then made myself comfortable on the kitchen island.

"Good morning Bey," Shawn said. He then made me a plate. "Here's your breakfast," he said warmly which gave me butterflies in my stomach.

"Good morning Raymond," I said looking at Ray.

"Good morning mother," he said lowly.

Mother? What happened to mommy?

"Imma head out now," Shawn said.

"Let me walk you out," I said getting out of my seat then walked him out. "Thank you for breakfast," I said standing outside with Shawn.

"No problem," he said rubbing the back of his head. "Bey... Ummm. Well, will you go out with me?" He asked.

"Like, on a date?" I said and he nodded. "I'd love to go on a date with you," I said smiling.

"Cool then. I'll see you later," he said and he kissed my cheek then he left.

I closed the door behind me and I walked back in the kitchen but Ray wasn't there. I then sat down and finished the last of my breakfast then I went to do the dishes.

"Mommy," I heard a tiny voice behind me as I did the dishes.

"Yes baby," I said still doing the dishes.

"I'm sorry for saying I hated you. The truth of the matter is that, I love you so much and you are the best mommy in the world. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm really sorry," he said in his baby voice.

I turned and I looked at him. "You really did hurt my feelings Ray. I admit, I lost track of time and I missed your tournament. I'm deeply sorry for that but you saying you hated me, hurt me real deep babe," I said.

He had his head hanging down as he was busy fidgeting with his fingers. "I'm sorry mommy. I didn't mean it. I love you," he said sniffling.

I bent down to his level. "I forgive you sweetheart. I'm also sorry for not showing up to your tournament," I said. "Now give mama some sugar," I said and he gave me a hug.

Dre POV

Right now I'm hanging out with my homie, Shawn. We are just chilling in my kitchen.

"I finally asked Beyonce out on a date," he said as I handed him a beer.

Shawn has been talking about this Beyonce woman. From the sound of things, Shawn really likes Beyonce. I'm just sad that she doesn't want to see Shawn with another woman.

She has some dirt on me and now she's using it against me. She has a video of me with my illegal business I do on the side which is drug trafficking. I used to be a hitman but I stopped that shit. Drug trafficking brings in more money than being an accountant. Shawn doesn't know about what I do on the side and I wanna keep it that way.

I looked at Shawn. "That's great man. Where are you taking her?" I said.

He sighed. "I don't know man. I wanna do something simple yet sophisticated," Shawn said.

Its such a shame that she is just gonna sabotage Shawn's attempt to get Bey and I can't do anything about it. I can't afford to go to the big house so I have no choice but to help her.

My phone started ringing. I immediately groaned when I saw the caller ID.

"Is everything alright?" Shawn asked.

"Yah man. I just gotta take this real quick," I said getting out of the kitchen, making sure that I'm out of ear reach from Shawn.

"Took your ass long enough. What the fuck took you so long? Were you fucking my man?"

"Ewe. What is wrong with you? I ain't gay. Even if I was gay, Shawn is like a brother to me."

She sinisterly laughed on the other line.

"Says the guy who's feeding me personal information of his so called brother."

"What do you want?" I said through gritted teeth.

"My tracker says Shawn is at your place. What is he doing there?"

This woman is plain crazy. I ain't gonna tell her that Shawn is going out on a date with Beyonce. Shawn actually likes Beyonce.

"We were just talking about Food Network. Did you know that there is milk specially made for lactose intolerant people? I didn't. Did you know-"

"Oh my gosh! Shut the fuck up please. Obviously you guys are up to nothing interesting so imma leave y'all. Bye for now." She said then hung up.

I'm glad she bought my fake story. This woman can easily identify a lie so her buying my story is a big win.
