Michelle as she brought her knees to her chest as she took a sip of her water toying the new antidepressant she was prescribed a week ago at last appointment going back and forth in her mind about wether she was ready to take it or not .

The steam from her coffee along with the aroma left her feeling cozy and content , but this one little three centimeter pill was threatening to ruin her entire day .

Text from Kelly 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🤎 : "You busy? Yes or no ? Don't ask why it's a surprise"

Michelle read with a smile .

Not even a second later she received two more text .

BB 🐝🎤 : "Did I leave my charger over there ? I can stop by and get it in a few if you don't mind"

Now Michelle knew good and well if Beyoncé needed a charger she could start a company  and literally make her own but if her sisters wanted to surprise today who was she to stop them .

Rich 🤑🙈 : "You Up? Who am I kidding ? What's the scripture for today?"

Michelle couldn't help but laugh and blush slightly as she pulled away and dialed his number .

"Is that your way of saying good morning ?"
She asked .

If you would've told her twenty years ago when she was going back and forth with this man while getting interviewed as Destiny's child that she would be talking to him romantically and finally giving him a chance she would've laughed in your face

If you would've told her twenty years ago when she was going back and forth with this man while getting interviewed as Destiny's child that she would be talking to him romantically and finally giving him a chance she would've laughed in your face .

Scratch that


She would've took a picture of you and sent it to Webster's dictionary so they could put your picture next to the definition of "Fool"

It wasn't something that happened out of the blue , they had kept in touch just as friends in the same circle since they shared most of the same friend groups and knew people who knew people but at one point , specifically when things were getting bad for her and no one else knew he was one of the only people that was consistently checking on her .

Of course she pushed him away when she started talking to Chad out of respect for their relationship but she couldn't help but feel like something was missing from her life when their communication stopped .

No , she was feigning for him or anything while she was in a relationship. She wasn't that type of girl and she wasn't trying to be , Richard was in a relationship too and seemed to be quite happy with his girlfriend so they understood boundaries .

When stuff really hit the fan and she cut social media out from her life completely she prayed to god for help , to take away this lonely feeling in her heart that made her more and more depressed .
