"Yeah You Told Me It Was Last Minute" She Explained Looking At Him Confused.

"Oh Oh Yeah, Hopefully I Can Take Over That Bronson Company It Will Be Determined Next Month Officially" He Halfway Lied.

"You Better Not Be Lying To Me Shawn"

That Was One Thing She Didn't Like Was Lies. She Trusted Shawn Deeply But She Also Knew When He Was Lying. He Always Had A Horrible Tell. But Going Into This Relationship Again Things Needed To Be Different Then The Last Time. That Involved Trusting Each Other And To Always Bring Attention To A Subject That Didn't Feel Right Which Was This.

"Nah I'm Not, I Have No Reason To" He Said Leaning Down To Kiss Her Forehead.

Even Though She Still Believed He Was Lying She Decided To Let It Go Because She Trusted Him.

"How Was Your Day?" He Asked Changing The Subject.

"Tiring, My Feet Hurt. We've Been Up Since Eight This Morning To Set This Whole Thing Up Doing Late Minute Stops At The Store. Please Don't Make Me Go Through This When It's Our Turn" She Said Looking Up At Him As He Chuckled.

"You Won't Have To Lift A Finger" He Said Wrapping His Arms Around Her While She Placed Her Head On His Chest.

"Not To Mention Her Family Hates Tiara's Father And He Still Hasn't Showed Up...He Hasn't Even Seen Her Since Tiara Was Born"

"That's Crazy" He Said.

"If You Do That Shit" She Pointed To His Dick Making Sure Her Index Finger Was Touching It. "Will Be Gone" She Finished Making Him Jump Up A Bit.

"Damn" He Said Chuckling Trying Not To Get A Hard On At This Birthday Party.

"I'm Serious Shawn Corey Carter"

"I Won't...You Know I Won't" He Defended As She Smiled Kissing His Cheek.

After Awhile Of Socializing, And Shawn Getting To Actually Know Jerome They All Ate Everyone Enjoying Each Others Company. Beyoncé Couldn't Help But Smile Seeing That Shawn Could Have A Potential Friend And For It To Be Nicki's Man Was Even Better. Jerome Was Only Twenty-Four While Shawn Was Forty-Nine They Could Probably Still Gain A Good Friendship.

Now That The Music Was Bumping Beyoncé Decided To Steal Shawn From Jerome To Dance With Him. "You Know I Can't Dance" He Whispered In Her Ear As She Slowly Swayed Her Hips Side To Side While He Placed His Hands On Her Waist Standing Behind Her.

"So, I Want To Dance With My Man" She Said Making Him Smirk. They Did A Simple Two Step To The Music Before She Turned To Face Him Placing Her Arms Around His Neck While His Around Her Waist.

"I Don't Think We Actually Danced Together Like This Before" She Said Softly.

"No Usually It's Just You Shaking Ya Ass All On Me"

"You Got A Problem With That?" She Asked Arching Her Eyebrow.

"A Nigga Is Definitely Not Complaining About That"

She Giggled Shaking Her Head Before Speaking Up. "I Saw You Talking To Jerome...Maybe A Potential Friend?" She Asked.

"Why You So Bent On Me Having A Friend?"

"Because When Were Married Taking Care Of Our Kids I Want You To Be Able To Get Away And Hang With Your Boys" She Shrugged.

"Married? More Than One Kid?"

"I'm Just Using That As An Example" She Said As They Continued To Dance Softly. It Felt Like It Was Prom Night All Over Again.

"Before You Never Spoke A Word About Marriage And No Kids Let Alone One" He Said Softly Looking Into Her Eyes.

Beyoncé Looked Down Before Looking Into His Eyes. "It Just Rolled Off My Tongue So Easily...Like It Was Nothing" She Said Softly.

"So You Do Want To Hopefully Be Married To Me Someday?"

She Licked Her Lips Looking Into His Anxious Eyes. The Beyoncé That Was In College Didn't Know What She Really Wanted In Life. She Was Just Career Driven And Not Worried About Being Tied Down Thinking She Had All The Time In The World But Now That She Was Twenty-Three Getting Older And Wiser. Being More Opened To Shawn Than She Was Before They Had Broke Things Off Was Making Her Feel Different Ways About Him That She Didn't Feel Before And With Their Life Growing Inside Her She Just Had More Respect For Him And Love For Him.

"I Want A Corny...Cliché Life With You For The Rest Of My Life. The Family, The Marriage, I Want To Wake Up Next To You Every Morning. Make Our Kids Breakfast Then Send Them Off To School. I Want To Have That Life When We Go On Family Vacations Together. I Want To Be The Corniest Family. Sitting At The Table At Dinner Every Night Talking About Our Day Together. I Want To Have A Life With You Filled With Everything And More. That's What I Want Shawn" She Said Softly.

"That Doesn't Make It Cheesy Or Cliché" He Said.

"What Does It Make It?"

"Real" He Said Softly.

Beyoncé Smiled Heartily.

"I Will Give That To You Baby" He Said Before Leaning Down Kissing Her Lips. She Placed Her Head On His Chest As They Continued To Slowly Sway To The Music.
