Workaholic!

New Month...New Direction...New Post...Enjoy!!

Jay sat down and grabbed the blunt from solo...it had been a long day and a couple blows is exactly what he needed...its Friday evening and jay had come home from working with his new artist Rita Ora...he found solange messing around and rolling a blunt in him and beys home studio and joined her...the kids were with mama Tina and mama Gloria..and bey was in the city busy with work....jay and beyonce had sort of been on bad terms the past day because she had been working extra hours and spending less time with him and junior...jay wasn't feeling it and him and bey had an argument about it....since then they've been kind of silent with each other...

Solo: so you and bey still mad at each other? *passes blunt to jay*
Jay: well..she really has no reason to be mad at me! I on the other hand have every reason to be upset with her!
Solo: why you just don't talk to her jay? I hate when y'all act this way with each other! It affects all of us believe it or not!
Jay: *passes blunt back to solo*..I have talked with her solo...on different occasions and its like she's not hearing me! she's seen her son twice this week solo....twice!!
Solo: damn are you serious jay?
Jay: yea! *puffs blunt*..junior asks where she is all the time...its hurtful to see the look in his eyes when i tell him!..*passes blunt*
Solo: *shaking her head* this is getting too out of hand!..I wonder whats going on with bey..this really isn't like her!
Jay: I don't know..but I'm supposed to go to this event with her tonight..I'm not really down for it because we haven't really been on speaking terms since yesterday, but its important to her so ima be there!
Solo: well its not my business but, if you want me to talk to her about it or anything just let me know!
Jay: thanks solo..i will!

Jay and solo finished the blunt and continued talking for a little while longer..they both got hungry and decided to go out and grab a bite to eat...about 30 minutes after they left the house...bey had came back home..she'd just got done with a photo shoot and was still in full make-up....bey noticed it was a little more quiet than usual so she walked around and called jays name..when he didn't answer..she flopped down on the couch and let out a deep sigh..while pulling her phone out..

(Text Convo - Bey & Jay)

Bey: Hey where you at?

Jay: I'm out eating with solo. you home?

Bey: yeah im here..what y'all eating?

Jay: popeyes! you want something?

Bey: yes please and thank you.

Jay: aight..we gone be there in about 20 minutes.

Bey: okay

20 minutes had come and gone and bey finally heard solo and jay pull up outside..she walked over to the door and opened it..she watched jay as he got her food out of the back seat and thought about how much she missed him since she had been working so much....jay sounded okay in the text messages so bey figured that he had forgiven her until, everyone went into the house and sat down to eat except  jay!....he walked over to the table and ate his food sitting by himself..

Solo: why you all the way over there jay?!
Jay: No reason..i just wanted to eat at the table!
Bey: are you over there because you don't wanna sit by me?

Jay looked at bey and then continued eating his food...he was still upset with her about working all the time and he clearly wasn't gonna let her forget that until she did something about it! Bey got a little upset and suddenly lost her appetite..she pushed her plate away and ran upstairs..

Solo: come on jay..stop acting so childish!
Jay: how am i acting childish solo?
Solo: you not even talking to her about it...I know you said you have before but some things you have to keep working at! When bey is upset about something working is her way of getting over it or getting her mind off of it for the moment..you need to see whats bothering her jay! Don't just shut her out because the problem could be deeper than you think!

Jay soaked in all of solos words and thought long and hard about what she'd said...he realized that he WAS acting very childish and that he should be more of a husband and work things out with bey..jay wiped his hands and sat back in his chair...

(Jay)
I had to think for a minute about what i was gonna tell bey when i went up there...solo was right but at the same time bey needs to realize her mistakes...if there IS a problem..then she should talk to me about it..not go off and work all kind of hours staying away from her family! *sighs*..I hope this gets better and not worse! *gets up*

Solo: you going talk to her?
Jay: yeah i guess ill go and get to the bottom of this!
Solo: Good! don't let me hold you back go on..

Jay pulled his phone out, turned it on silent and then proceeded upstairs...bey was in the bathroom when he entered their room and so he waited...while jay waited he closed beys laptop and turned off the tv..he didn't' want anything distracting them from the conversation they were about to have....jay found beys phone and went to turn it on silent when she received a text message...it was a computerized text message from her bank letting her know that $5000 that had been taken from her account a week ago was finally processed and transferred to the Houston Correctional facility for Lyndell Locke! Jay was quite confused by the text and wondered immediately what bey had been up to! He decided to not confront her about this just yet though considering they had bigger problems to worry about....jay continued with turning her phone on silent when bey finally came out of the bathroom...

Bey: what are you doing with my phone? *takes it from jay*
Jay: I was only trying to turn it on silent so we could talk and not be interrupted! *looks at bey in frustration*..Whats with you beyonce? You really haven't been yourself at all these past weeks!
Bey: *sighs*..Nothing Shawn! You're always making things more than they really are! *sits on the bed*
Jay: So I'm Shawn now!..*shakes his head*..
Bey: *rolls her eyes*..look..all I've been doing is working! How have i not been myself just because I've been working? explain that to me!
Jay: Bey i feel like im losing you...its almost like I'm starting to not recognize you or something! The beyonce i know used to make time for her family!...the beyonce i know never used to neglect her son only seeing him twice a week! you know he asks about you all the time?
Bey: *puts her head down*
Jay: yeah you should feel bad...you know he waited up for you Thursday when you promised to bring him to the park, but then you decided to stay a few extra hours in the studio instead!
Bey: i called him that day and checked on him jay! I let him know I'd make it up to him!
Jay: bey we called you! remember you told him you'd call him back...you were in the middle of work?!!....you left junior hanging!! he literally cried himself to sleep that afternoon!

(Bey)
i felt my heart become heavy and my eyes filled with tears while jay was telling me about junior...i didn't even realize how badly i was neglecting my own child! I felt so bad and honestly i didn't know at all what to think of any of this! What is wrong with me?

Bey: *trying to hold back tears*..jay im so sorry!
Jay: don't tell me tell it to your son! I think i can deal with this a little better than he can right now!
Bey: *starts crying*..i don't know whats wrong with me jay!
Jay: ch..tell me about it! I saw you 4 times last week beyonce.......4! I was lucky to get one more than that this week and that was only because i came to see you at work! Can you imagine how junior feels hardly seeing his mother?!

by this time jay had bey in tears...he wasn't purposely trying to make her feel bad..jay just wanted bey to realize her actions and to see how they were tearing her family apart...as bey rested her elbows on her legs..she placed her head inside her hands...she began balling in tears when jay walked over to her and kneeled..

Jay: baby..*moving beys hands*..baby tell me whats wrong?..why do you feel the need to work so much again? Is something bothering you? Is it me?
Bey: *sniff*..no jay..i just.....i just..
Jay: you just what bey?...

bey couldn't get her words out...she just sat there on the bed completely disturbed and upset at what jay had just told her...jay stood back up in front of bey and put his hands inside his pockets..

Jay: look bey..as much as it hurts to see my wife crying like this i won't sit here and have any sympathy for you! I've tried too long and too hard to make this work situation with you work out and not only are you NOT meeting me half way...you just don't seem to have a care in the world these days! Junior needs his mother and i miss my wife...and not this workaholic drone I've been seeing....I'm talking about the woman who i  used to know..the Beyonce i used to love being around! *walks by the door*..ima go and let you think about all this for a while..ill be at kanyes if  you need me..*walks out*

Jay walked out of the room and closed the door...bey sat there still crying and upset with herself...when jay made it downstairs solo was watching tv waiting on him and bey..

Solo: hey where you going jay?..How did the talk go?
Jay: i don't even really know to be honest! Beys pretty upset so ima just give her some time...I need to bounce though..tell bey ill be back in time for the event!

jay left the house and solo went up to their room afterwards...she tried checking on bey but she had locked herself in the room by the time solo came up there..

Solo: *knocking on the door softly*..thu..you okay sweetie?

Bey never answered but solo could hear her crying from behind the door..

Solo: listen thu im not gonna leave you hear by yourself until i make sure you're okay! let me know something thu please!

Bey still never said anything so solange went back downstairs...she didn't wanna leave bey alone in the state that she was in so she stayed at the house and chilled...

(5 hours later that evening)

bey was in her and jays room showering and getting herself together for the event...jay had gone into the guest bedroom to get himself together...he was ready in an hour and about 30 minutes after that bey was ready...she walked out of the room in a long black strapless flowing dress..her hair was beautifully curled and her make-up done perfectly...she had on red bottom 6 inch heals which allowed for her to meet jays height..

(Jay)
Bey looked so beautiful when i saw her come out of the room...i mean she's always beautiful but she was just extra gorgeous tonight...even though things weren't going to well and I was still wondering why bey was sending Lyndell money?!...i decided to put that all behind us and have a good time tonight...this was important to bey and i didn't wanna mess it up with our personal issues!

(Bey)
jay looked so handsome standing by the door...i haven't seen him like this in a good minute...i suppose that's all my fault since i have been working a lot lately! *sighs* he's so sexy in that Armani suit..*looking jay up and down*..i hope we can get through this night peacefully.

Jay glanced at bey a few more moments and walked over to her...he stuck out his arm for her to grab and said..

Jay: you look beautiful this evening bey!
Bey: thank you..*smiles*..and you look very handsome yourself!
Jay: *smirks*..thanks!

Jay was a gentleman and escorted bey to the car...he helped her in and closed her door...after he got in himself the driver took them to the event which lasted about 2 hours and then they were taken to the party that followed after the event...as the night passed by jay was kind of distant and stayed to himself...bey was busy mingling and talking to people when she noticed jay by the bar all alone...she decided to take a break from the crowd and join her husband..

Bey: *walking up to jay*..so you enjoying the party?
Jay: *drinks the last of his drink down*..its alright!...im not really that into it though!
Bey: well that's because you're isolating yourself...why don't you mingle a bit?!
Jay: bey I came here with you..I'm not interested in mingling right now!
Bey: *rolls her eyes*..whatever I guess jay!

Bey walked off and went right back into mingling with people while jay stayed at the bar and watched her...he threw back a couple more shots and then suddenly the thought of bey sending Lyndell money popped back into his mind...now jay did say that he was gonna leave the problems behind for the night but after a few drinks ..that line went right out the window and jay walked over to confront bey about it..

Jay: *walking up to bey*..Beyonce?!.............Beyonce?!!

Bey was so busy talking and laughing that she didn't hear jay...he called her name a second time but louder which caught her attention and the attention of a couple others..bey looked at jay with a death stare on her face..not only was she embarrassed by his actions, she could tell jay was drunk and was sure other people could as well...bey walked up closer to jay..

Bey: *whispering*..jay what are you doing?!
Jay: *Drunk*...Beyonce I need to talk with you!
Bey: not now jay! Not here!
Jay: *sarcastically*...right..I forgot your work comes first!
Bey: *getting upset*..seriously jay can you cut the bullshit out! *looks around*
Jay: ch..whatever I'm done..*walks off*

Bey watched jay as he walked further and further away from her out the door...she shook her head in frustration and grabbed another glass of champagne completely chugging it within seconds....she grabbed another glass right after that and walked off into the crowd...
