Jay exited the bedroom and walked to the door. He was mentally kicking himself for what had just happened. He didn't know what had made him kiss her and almost sleep with her. He thought he could keep his feelings in check.

He opened the door and saw Gabrielle standing there.

"Surprise," she smiled as she stood there.

"Gab, what are you doing here?" Jay asked as he tried to stay as calm as possible.

"I'm here to see you silly. I thought it'd be a nice surprise," she told him.

"I'm definitely surprised," Jay said as he nodded his head.

"Good, aren't you gonna let me in?" Gabrielle asked him.

"Shawn, who's at the door?" Beyoncé asked loudly from the bedroom.

"Who was that?" Gabrielle asked him.

"Listen Gab, I can explain," he said to her knowing he could lie his way out of this one.

"Is that Beyoncé? Is she in there? Are you serious right now Jay?" Gabrielle asked him as she pushed past him.

Gabrielle made her way into the hotel room.

"Shawn, what's going o-," Beyoncé started as she walked out of the bedroom until she saw Gabrielle.

"Unbelievable," Gabrielle scoffed.

"Gabrielle, it's really not what it looks like. Nothing happened," Jay told her.

"How are you gonna tell me that nothing happened when she's walking out of your bedroom wearing your shirt?" Gabrielle asked him.

"I just needed a place to stay for the night, and Shawn was just being a good friend. That's it," Beyoncé said.

"I'm sure of it," Gabrielle said sarcastically.

"Look, I'm gonna leave. This is between the two of you," Beyoncé said as she grabbed her things to leave.

"Yeah, you better go," Gabrielle told her.

"You better get her Shawn before I beat her ass," Beyoncé said.

"You're such a whore! Please put your hands on me, so I can send your country, ghetto ass to jail!" Gabrielle yelled at Beyoncé.

Beyoncé was about to jump on her ass before Jay stepped in.

"Hey Gabrielle, chill with the name-calling. That's enough. You're not about to disrespect her. You're mad at me, so take it out on me. Leave her alone," Jay said sternly as he raised his voice and started to get upset.

It really didn't sit right with him when someone disrespected Beyoncé.

"Why are you always defending her?!" Gabrielle yelled.

"Girl, you better be glad that he jumped in and saved your ass because my country, ghetto ass was about to drag your stuck-up, bougie ass all around this room. Let me go before I hurt you," Beyoncé said.

Beyoncé sat in a booth with Kelly and Nicki as they had lunch.

"So what's going on with you and Jay?" Kelly asked Beyoncé.

"What do you mean?" Beyoncé asked her.
