Dr. Knowles

Proof

I raced home on the express thinking of ways I could make up for my yelling. I got home and walked in. I immediately smelt alcohol. I gagged at the smell. It was so strong.

"Michael...Michael...baby..I'm sorry" I screamed through the loft hoping he was still up. The bedroom door was cracked. I crept in and saw him with a bottle of vodka sitting next to him on the floor. I knelt down next to him.

"Baby..listen I'm sorry about earlier. I love you so much and I'm sorry. I know you were telling the truth and i trust you baby."

"Beyyyyyy..whyyy didn't chu listen to me...babyy?" Michael slurred his words and I could tell he was a goner.

"Baby I. Was just mad and stressed I had so much going on Ok? Forgive me please baby."

"Ok beybeyyy..imma go bye night"

"Ok night baby"

I helped Michael on the bed and kissed him good night. I'm glad we made up hopefully this is a start. Let's just see how he acts when he isn't drunk..

The next day...
Shawn's pov

It was 10 in the morning when woke up. It was a beautiful day. All the memories from last night floated towards me and I Was reminded of Beyoncé. She is so damn beautiful. Her smile. Her eyes. Her accent. She was telling me all about her and her relationship. I'm kind of upset about her and Michael but I guess all the good ones are taken but I doubt they'll last long. Now I'm not saying that because I Want her to myself but simply because he definitely has a thing for his secretary, Erica I think her name is. He was all over her when I was at the firm, but thats none of my business.

I went downstairs to make some coffee. Jerome came down after about an hour and was already hype.

"What's up dad?"

"Hey fathead. Whats up?"

"I was thinking maybe we can go to the mall and exchange my game."

"Yea go ahead and get ready. Maybe we can grab some breakfast."

Jerome ran upstairs and got dressed within 15 minutes. I on the other hand took a little longer.

"Dad are you ready yet? "

"Yea boy hold on"

I came downstairs with my keys. "Where's you're game at?"

"Oh yea its at Nana's house.."

"Damn alright come on. Get in the car."

We drove to my moms place and heard some loud ass couple arguing. We let ourselves in and Jerome grabbed his game. I looked in my moms bedroom and she was sleep so we were in and out. As we were locking up, the man that was arguing came out. I had my back turned but he sounded pissed.

"Didn't I tell your ass. I was leaving her, just chill out. You know how that bitch is ,damn."

"You've been saying it for a month now. Just break if off and leave her. I love you and I want you. I'm not trying to share. I hate having to hide."

"I love you too but just give me time baby. Were engaged. Its gonna be hard on her and its her birthday today. I'm not trying to do that today of all days. I'll break things off soon enough."

"Alright well I'll see you later Michael."

"Alright E"

I heard his name and I whipped around. It was Michael ealy. Beys fiance. I couldn't believe that shit. I had my hunch but damn. He really was conniving. I didn't know what to do. Jerome just stood there eavesdropping and staring at the two.

"Jerome stop staring"

"Alright alright. Can we go?"

We walked past them and I heard Michael say "carter"

"Yes" I said turning around.

"I thought I recognized you man. how you doing?"

"Fine"

"That's good. So I'll see you around. Sorry about the convo over there."

"Its Ok. I feel bad for your fiance though, its a shame she has to put up with someone like you"

"I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I can't choose."

"well figure it out, until then I'm no longer working with your firm."

"Wait.wait..no no no. We need you. Were the best firm out there."

"I can't take the services of someone who would be that disgusting and disrespectful. Goodbye" I didn't want to cause a scene in front of my son so I kept it short and to the point.

Jerome and I left driving towards the mall. The whole time I was thinking about bey and how she would react to hearing the news. I didn't know if I should tell or not. Its not my place , were not best friends but I still feel like I should give her the truth.

"Yoooo dad. That was crazy. That man is cheating on his fiance with some chick and now he is going to leave his fiance for her. That's juicy pops."

"First of all that's not a good thing. Its disrespectful and wrong and they work together which also makes it bad. Any woman that is in that situation is just as wrong as the man. "

"I know its bad but I've never had that much drama in all my years of living."

I laughed at the fact that Jerome talked like her was a 50 year old man. We arrived at the mall and went straight to game stop. I ended up getting him three new games and a game system. We walked out and headed to the food court and got some Chinese food.

"Aye dad"

"Yea"

"Would you ever date somebody again?"

"Would you have a problem if I did?"

"No, I'm just curious"

"Well yea, maybe if you approved of her"

"What about Doctor. Knowles"

I damn choked on my food when Jerome said that because as soon as he said that there she appeared.

"Um...maybe..shes very..um..attractive"

"Yea she is pretty. I would approve"

"Good and you know shes right behind you too"

"No way, you lying" Jerome turned around and saw her. "Doctor k, doctor k. " he yelled. He took off running towards her. Hugging her. I ran up behind him damn near out of breath.

"Damn Jerome, what the hell you running for man?"

"Sorry"

"Hey Jerome, Shawn"

"Beyoncé"

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Well little man wanted to exchange a game so we went to game stop. What about you?"

"I'm doing a little shopping. Michael is at home sleep. We kind of talked, everything is good now" as bey spoke I couldn't help but feel guilty for not telling her about her fiancé.

"Well that's good I'm g--"

"Doc, come eat with us"

"Well I don't know Jerome. Its your day I wouldn't want to intrude like that."

"Its cool, I'm inviting you."

"Alright well let me get my food and I'll come sit."

"Alright" Jerome and I sat back at our table to finish our food and Bey came up. we chatted for about thirty minutes getting to know each other. She's so interesting. I got up to refill my drink and I guess that's where everything went downhill...
