| Chapter 4: Once Jay Z never did anything like he'd done on the first night for the rest of the short vacation. When Beyonce returned to New York Solange was waiting for her at the air port. "You better get some sleep girl, we goin' to Houston tomorrow morning." She said as she got into the limo with her older sister. "Really? Tomorrow? Why?" Beyonce asked once inside. "I don't know..Kelly suggested we go." Solange said. "'said it was a benefit concert or something that we should be at" "Oh Lord." Beyonce said knowing Kelly's intentions. "What?" Solange said. "Nothin. I just know that a benefit convert ain't why Kelly wants to go home." Beyonce said sighing. That night in her suite Beyonce examined the red marks on her neck and chest. Hope nobody'll see those., she thought. She looked at her ring and was reminded of a decision she had to make. "B!" Kelly yelled knocking on the door. "Huh?!" Beyonce yelled back. "You wanna tell me bout your trip?" Kelly said. "Uh..not really.." Beyonce said laughing. Kelly laughed to. "Aight girl, go to sleep though, we wakin up at 4 tomorrow morning. You can tell me about Paris on the plain." Beyonce didn't like the way Kelly seemed to read her mind. Maybe it was because they knew each other too well, but Kelly knew exactly what was going on in beyonce's head, and it made Beyonce uncomfortable. "Why you wanna know about Paris?" Beyonce yelled. "Aint like u aint never been there!" "Grrrl, you know I don't wanna know 'bout Paris!" Kelly said. "I wanna know 'bout what HAPPENED in Paris!" Beyonce rolled her eyes. "And I know you in there rollin your eyes at me too." Kelly said. In Houston Beyonce and her family went to church the Sunday after they arrived. She saw Lindell there, and pretended like she hadn't. She pulled up her shirt to cover the hikkis Jay Z had given her. She pulled her hair over her neck to cover those. Lindell saw her and pretended like he didn't. They kept looking at each other. Once their eyes met, and then drifted away. This went on all through the sermon. After it was over, Beyonce, Kelly and Solange went outside to the church court yard. "You see Lindell in there?" Kelly asked. "No." Beyonce said. "Really? I could'a sworn I saw him looking at you.and I thought I saw you lookin at him too." Kelly said. Lindell walked by alone. "Lindell!!" Kelly yelled. He turned to see them. "Come here boy!" Kelly said. "How you been?" she asked once he was standing with them. "I been good." He replied. He looked at Beyonce. She looked at him. "Yall been doin good?" he asked. "Yeah." Kelly said. "Hey.it's some stuff I been meanin to talk to B about..yall mind?" he said. "No we don't mind." Solange said. She and Kelly left. Beyonce and Lindell sat on a bench. "Beyonce..I...I'm really sorry about what happened before...I really didn't know what I was doing." He said. "How do you not know what you send me a video of you having sex with another girl?" Beyonce asked. Her tone was stern but calm at the same time. "I...I thought that." he began. "You thought that I was cheating on you and I wasn't." Beyonce said. "I know..and I really regret what I did." Lindell said. "You're just sayin that because she dumped you didn't she?" Beyonce said. "..um.well, she did dump me, but only because when I was kissin her, I lost track of everything, and I thought I was kissing you, and then I called her Beyonce and so.that's why she dumped me." Lindell said. "You know..that's really sweet Lindell. It really is. But it aint gon cut it." She said. "You know I would never cheat on you. You know that Lindell and I don't know why you thought I did..and even if I did----I guess." she said. At first she was angry but now her voice cracked like she was about to cry. "I guess I don't know you as well as I thought I did..." She was trying to hold back her tears but she couldn't and one escaped from her big brown eyes and trickled down her cheek. "I thought you loved me and would never do anything like that to me. I would never go with another guy..never. Because I guess that...even though you hurt me.I still have feelins for you." she said. He wiped her tears from her cheeks and pushed her hair behind her ears revealing the hikkis. At first his eyes showed sympathy but now anger. "You would never go with another guy?" he asked. She looked at him as if to ask why he was angry with her. "What is that?" he asked. "What's what?" she asked. "That-That mark on your neck. It's a hikki!! Some other guy's been suckin on your neck! It's Jay Z aint it? I knew it when I saw that huge ass rock you got on your hand. He's suckin on your neck and buyin you stuff. You said you would never go with any other guy. I guess I don't know YOU as well ask I thought I did.." His tone softened. "I guess we don't know each other as well as we thought we did..maybe this is a sign that we shouldn't be together." He took one last look at her tear stained face, then he left her. She cried harder now as she sat alone. Solange and Kelly came and sat beside her and comforted her. Chapter 5 |
