" Hello Diamonte, it's a pleasure to meet you. This isn't how I expected us to meet but look where we are" Mama Tina greets me with the hug as we all stand by the dinner table. The dinner was originally going to be this Sunday but since Beyoncé told them that I possibly spotted her sister the dinner was pushed a few days early
" Hey, Ms. Tina it's a pleasure to meet you as well. I've heard a lot about you" I tell her and she smiles at me for a moment and pulls me into another hug.
" Oh baby, you look just like your mom" she says and sighs. She knows my mom?
" I know you may be a little bit confused but we all went to school together." She says I nod
" Ok Ma let her go" Bey says coming over to pull us apart
" Oh Chile stop hush, anyways yo daddy should be walking in, in a few minutes." She says and we go sit down at the table
Beys sits down beside me placing her hand in my thigh and I turn my head to smile at her
" Hey everybody, I'm sorry for being late." Her father Matthew walks in. He's looks much more intimidating in person
We stand up and greet him. He hugs and kisses Mama Tina and hugs Bey; he then turns to me and I began to get nervous
" You must be Diamanté. It's nice to meet you. I've been waiting to meet the woman who makes this meany happy" he says as he points at Bey and we all laugh
" It's nice to meet you to Mr.Knowles" I say to him.
" Call me Pop. We don't have to be formal" he says and we sit down and eat dinner
" Okay now, let's get down to business. Diamanté you said you were down town at that Jamaican spot." Pop asks me and I nod
" Yes sir. I was standing by the window waiting on my order to be called and I saw a black Lambo truck pull up. I thought that was kinda odd. But I saw someone step out and I thought the person was Bey so I recorded them and I was going to show it to her when I got back to her house" I explained to them and they nodded
" Mhm..So Bey took the picture of the license plate to warehouse to let Ross run the plate number we should be updated with that in a little while. Until then we need to run the security cameras at the plaza downtown" Pop explains
" I can do it. I used to go down there a lot as a child so I'm well known in that area. It's looks like Solange was standing infront of the barber shop; I can go ask the Manuel the owner if he could re-run the tapes for me" I tell them and they all smile at me
" Alrighty then, that's perfect. Got anything you wanna say boss" he asks Bey and she shakes her head smiling
" Nah, everything sounds good. After you get the footage and we run the license plate and see who the owner of the car is we will go from there" she says and we all nod agreeing to the plan.

" Yo Bey, let me talk to you outside real quick" pop tells me and I follow him to the back yard
" Wassup pops" I ask him
" I want you to do right by that young woman in there, Beyoncé. I can tell she truly cares about you. Nobody is just going to go out of their way and volunteer to help in some dangerous shit. Every since you got out the relationship with 'you know who' you haven't been the easiest person to be around Bey. But with her you seem more free. You're happy Giselle, and that's what I like to see." He tells me and takes a swig of his beer
" I am dad, I promise. That girl in there makes me feel like a whole simp man I swear. But I love it though. It can be the smallest shit that makes me wanna wife her. She like to bake, and guess what I do? Throw a apron and call me the Pillsbury Doughboy" I tell him and we laugh. I look down thinking about the time we were baking cookies and it eventually turned into us throwing flour at each other
" Look at you all in love and shit. I was the same way with yo momma. Man did that woman have me doing shit I would never imagine myself doing. Well, you got my approval and I'm sure your mom likes her too" my dad and stands up and I follow him back in the house
We walk back I'm the house seeing my mom and Tae standing by the kitchen island talking. I smile at them and they turn to us.
" Well I see you too are getting along, and I happy to see that, but it's getting late and we should head out" I tell them
" Yea. I was just telling Diamanté that I would ride with her downtown tomorrow since you and your father are going to be at the warehouse" my mom tells me
" Yea that's perfect" I tell them and Tae turns to smile at me. I wink at her and she looks down and blushes
" You ready baby" I ask her
" Yea. It was nice to meet you guys. Have a goodnight." She says to my parents
" It was nice to meet you as well sweetheart. You guys have a goodnight and drive safely." They says and we nod

" Baby, can we get matching nails" Tae asks me , and I look down at my hands seeing that I am in need for a fill.
" Yea sure, I know that girl that does nails I can make an appointment for Thursday." I tell her and she smiles
" Baby thank you for helping us" I tell her genuinely
" It's no problem Bey. I know how you have been trying to cope with this for the past few years and now you just found out your sister could possibly be alive; and that's a lot to deal with so I will do anything to help" she says
