A Ter-Raji story. I knew he was married and I didnt care because I knew what was on camera wasnt real. You may think what everyone else is thinking that Im a woman and I should have some type of respect for myself. But I wasnt the other woman , his...
I sighed shaking my head , all the memories of lastnight came back to me. I had to admit it felt good , I felt free and I hadn't felt that way in a long time.
"Larenz and Tae are upstairs in the guest rooms sleep , y'all was so done y'all had to crash here."He said putting some dishes away. He slid me a bowl of fruit.
My stomach turned at the sight of it. I felt like shit.
"Why can't I do right man? It's like when I wanna do right I can't help but do wrong but while I'm doing wrong I wanna do right but I still do wrong."I asked out loud. I forced a grape in my mouth chewing it slowly.
Morris chuckled sitting in front of me. "Because we are men ! We try to think with our brain but our manhood thinks the fastest."He explained mapping it out.
"We all do our dirt man we men but we still love our woman , but why you say that ? What got you tripping?"He asked sipping his coffee.
I swallowed my food and leaned back into the chair.
"I almost cheated on Taraji. Melissa came on to me and that feeling we used to have back in the day came back man and it was hard to resist but I did."I confessed. Saying it out loud I really felt like shit.
"Tee don't sweat it, you was drunk and Taraji won't find out she in Atlanta ."He shrugged.
I shook my head no. "Rahji is crazy she finds out everything some how , just like she found out about Mira. I just can't stop hurting her."I said dropping my head.
Morris patted my back."Tee she won't find out , it won't get out."Morris reassured me. I sighed and nodded agreeing with him. Maybe I was over thinking.
Morris laughed lightly then looked up at me from his glass. "You really love her don't you Tee?"He asked knowingly. I bit my bottom lip and sat back further in the chair.
"More than I can control. But I'm not ready to leave my old life alone. I felt so free last night."I let out lowly running my fingers through my hair.
"And get this , Imma be a dad. TJ is pregnant."I said with a smile. That moment I knew my old ways wasn't worth my family. I was about to bring a life into this world , I had to continue to get myself together for my child.
"Congrats bro , I'm the godfather right?"He asked.I nodded dapping him up. My phone vibrated I looked down at it seeing that Gabby was calling me.
"Hello?"I answered. Gabby sniffed and then exhaled.
"Terrence you have to get here. Rahji is in the hospital she collapsed."She panicked into the phone. Morris mouthed to me something. He read how worried I was.
"I'm on my way!"I said ending the call.
"What is it?"Morris asked panicking with me.
"Rahji passed out at work , I have to get to Atlanta ."I said about to call my pilot. Morris shook his head taking my phone.
"We are going to get to her , you go and get ready and I'll set everything up with the plane."Morris said. I gave him a brotherly hug.
"Thanks bro I owe you one."I said leaving the house. I got in my car speeding off down the street. I just hoped I got there in time and everything was okay.

Taraji
5:45pm
I blinked my eyes from the light that was being shined. My doctor smiled putting the light away. I looked around unaware of my surroundings and saw I was hooked up to all these tubes. I wanted to pass out all over again once I saw the needle stuck in my arm.
I reached for the needle but Dr.Thomas patted my hand calming me down.

"It's just the medicine Ms.Henson calm down."She said with a giggle.
I shifted in the bed getting comfortable. I tried to swallow but my throat felt like it was about to crack. Dr.Thomas grabbed the apple juice helping me drink it.
"Glad to have you back Ms.Henson you passed out from dehydration."Dr.Thomas said looking down at her tablet.
"Is my baby okay?"I asked panicking. She smiled coming closer to me touching my shoulder.
"Yes Ms.Henson your baby is very healthy and strong the little one is growing well. You are about 2 and a half months now."She informed me sitting into her swivel chair.
I relaxed more in the pillows and looked at the decorations on the wall. I wanted to be home in my bed away from this place. I hated hospitals.
"Ms.Henson you have to take your vitamins and these antinausious pills to help with the morning sickness. You should be released soon."She said as she changed something in my tubes.
"Thank you so much Dr.Thomas , I'll take it easy next time."I said. She left the room.
I gazed at the tree outside my window. I wanted to break down and cry. I feel so lonely right now and all I wanted was Tee but he isn't here. I felt like he was avoiding me , I knew I shouldn't have told him about the baby.
He should be here for this. I was starting to believe that I shouldn't have took this role.
I heard a small knock at the door. "Come in"I said dryly still staring out the window. I wasn't in the mood , I just wanted to be alone. Michael entered showing his pearly whites.
He came over to me with the biggest teddy bear and balloons. I gushed
"Is that for me?"I asked , He nodded biting his bottom lip, the bear was bigger than him. He sat the bear in the chair and came over to me grabbing a seat.
"How are you feeling sweetheart?"He asked softly laying his head on the side of the bed. He looked up at me with his piercing blue eyes.
"I'm fine , i was dehydrated , I just need to take it easy that's all."I said looking down at him. He exhaled.
"You really scared me , all I wanted to do was hold you and make everything okay."He confessed. He searched my eyes , I looked away. He touched my hand and I felt that shock. He placed a soft kiss on my fingertips.
"Michael please, I can't do this. You know I have a boyfriend. This has to stop before anything goes further."I said moving my hand away.
He nodded getting up from the chair. "Taraji I know you felt that but I respect that we are just friends."He tucked my hair behind my ear then back away.
I felt bad that I just spoiled this moment. Here he is just being a friend and my mouth gets the best of me.
"That's how it all starts."He said incoherently I couldn't even hear him. He left me with my thoughts. I laid back I didn't need this drama right now , I had to keep myself level minded and away from bullshit. Easy pregnancy is a happy Taraji.
