Alone

Beyoncé
I am in Miami, Florida today. I'm here on business, but that's about it. I've already got my meetings squared away earlier today so the rest of the day is mine!

I was sipping on some good ice cold water as I made my way thru the Miami streets. To say it was burning up was an understatement.

I watched as families strolled by. Of course noticing me. I gave people a small nod and a smile. People may think I have "the life," but honestly my life is beyond boring! Just think about waking up alone. Think about coming home to an empty house. Think about never having family call you. I honestly have no one to talk to.

As I was sipping my water I accidentally bumped into a little girl. She fell to the ground.

"Omg, I'm so sorry!" I bent down to her. She was really crying out! I looked down at her knee and it was all bloody.

"Julius, what do I do? I'm nervous!" I said as I picked her up in my arms.

Before Julius could get a word out, we heard a yell.

"Royalty! Baby girl what happened." I looked at the face the voice was coming from.

Chris Brown? I looked down at the crying girl in my arms. Yes, she is indeed Royalty.

"Beyoncé? What's up? What happened to Ro?"

I handed him his daughter.

"I'm sorry I accidentally wasn't paying attention. I bumped into her." I explained.

"No, it's fine. She was suppose to stay close to me." He wiped her tears. "Hush, hush. It's okay baby girl."

I smiled a small smile.

"What brings you to the M.I.A?" He asked.

"I was here handling some business. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning."

"You should come inside. Royalty and I was doing a little crafting... I don't know how she ended up outside." He looked down at her with stern eyes. She just stayed quiet and laid on his chest.

I looked up at the arts and craft sign.

"I-I don't know." I hesitated.

"It's fine if you can't. I know you're a busy woman." He gave me a small smile.

"She'll love to."

We both looked up at Julius. Um, come again sir?

"Julius?! What-GCO." He's lucky I was wearing shades. If looks can kill.

"It's just some friendly fun Ms. Knowles. You have nowhere to be until tomorrow morning. Why not? I'll be right here."

I sighed before turning to Chris.

"So?" He asked.

"I have a feeling that I have no choice so." I slightly rolled my eyes before following Chris inside the arts and craft store.

Royalty was still being quiet. I have a feeling she's still a little upset.

"You mind if I take her to clean her knee up?" I asked Chris.

"You don't have to. I can do it." He said.

"No, no. It's fine. I can do it. I am the one who caused this." I lowly chuckled.

He handed me Royalty. Of course she cried. I understood that. After all I am the stranger that caused her injury.

I carried her to the ladies room and sat her on the counter.

"Shhh. Shhh. It's okay. I'm only trying to help." I explained.

Her crying died down. I smiled. I pulled out my first aid kit and began patching up her booboo. I gave her a unicorn bandage. She liked that.

"Thank you, Ms. Beyoncé." She smiled.

Oh, she knows me.

"You're very much welcome sweetheart." I smiled back.

I helped her off the counter and we held hands as we made our way back to our work area. When she saw Chris she ran to him.

"Look daddy! Ms. Beyoncé gave me a unicorn band-aid!" She excitedly pointed to her knee. Chris chuckled.

"I see, it's real adorable." He smiled at me. I smiled before taking a seat across from them.

We began painting. I painted a bee and signed my signature in big black bold letters. Royalty painted a pony and Chris painted a lot of stuff I had trouble making out. We revealed our paintings. Royalty loved mine so I gave it to her.

"What do you say?" Chris asked.

"Thank you Ms. Beyoncé." She looked up at me and smiled.

I smiled down at her, "You're welcome sweetie. I enjoyed painting with you and your dad."

Royalty smiled before hiding behind Chris legs.

"Thank you Bey... for taking time out your day to spend it with us." Chris embraced me.

"Really, really. It was no problem." I smiled.

I said my goodbyes to Royalty and Chris before exiting the building. I smiled the whole walk.

"Someone's happy."

I looked up at Julius before chuckling.

"It's nice to see you finally smile Ms. Knowles." I playfully nudge my bodyguard.

"I smile sometimes Julius."

Julius laughed, "Sometimes."

Julius held the truck door open as I climbed in. The whole way back to my hotel I laid my head on my window. Today was great! I haven't had a fun day in a long time. Unfortunately, Chris and I didn't exchange contact information. It doesn't matter though, today still was amazing for me. I truly enjoyed it.
