Alone

Chris Brown
Today I have rehearsal in downtown L.A. of course Ro wanted to tag along.

We made our way to my rehearsal. When we got there I helped her out the car.

I got Royalty settled in before I started rehearsing. I watched her thru the glass mirror. She was playing with her new toys Bey got her.

I went thru half of my concert before we had a lunch break.

"What do you want for lunch princess?" I asked Ro as I wiped the sweat off my forehead.

"mmm. I have no idea daddy." She said.

I started throwing out ideas. "Baked chicken? Nuggets? PB&J? Mac & cheese?" She cut me off before I could continue.

"Mac & cheese!" She exclaimed.

I smiled. "Mac & cheese it is then."

I picked her up before exiting out the building. We walked down the street to this diner. Surely they sell Mac & cheese.

We sat at a booth and then the waiter came. I order Ro her Mac & cheese with a water, and I got myself a chicken sandwich with a water.

"Dad?" Ro spoke.

"Yes ma'am?" I asked.

"Do you like Ms. Bey?" Ro asked.

"Um. Well. I don't know baby."

In all honesty I really don't know.

The waiter came back with our food and we prayed before eating.

"What is that suppose to mean daddy." She asked.

"It means that daddy does not know RoRo." I explained.

"I like her. She's really nice." She smiled.

"Are you just saying that because she bought you toys." I smirked.

Ro giggled. "Of course I am!"

I laughed. Silly, silly girl.

"She's really fun though dad."

I looked up at Royalty.

"Why are you talking about her so much? Do you want to hang out with her again?" I asked.

She immediately nodded her head.

"I'm glad you've taken a good liking to her, but Royalty, Beyoncé is a very busy woman. Way more busy than I am." I explained.

"How do you know daddy. You barely get two words out around her." Royalty smirked. "...I think you like her."

I sighed before sitting back in my seat.

"Why am I having this convo with my 4 year old." I said sarcastically.

Royalty laughed.

"Can you take me to one of her shows?" She asked.

"What happened to Ariana Grande?" I asked.

"Sorry daddy, but I think I want to see her with Ms. Bey." She stuffed her face with some Mac & Cheese. I pretended like my feelings were hurt. She giggled.

"Well. We're going to have to find out when her next show is." I told her.

"Yes sir!" She clapped. I chuckled.

"Y'all are the best of friends now I'm assuming?" I asked.

"She's amazing! And she's not a boy so that's good! Sometimes I'm tired of being around boys." Royalty explained.

"Let's see if y'all have that same energy 10 years from now." I laughed.

I paid for Royalty's and I meal and we made our way back to rehearsal. Royalty returned to her corner and continued playing with her toys.
