Taraji's POV

I can't believe i just saw Terrence after all these years,and he is married and has a son. This is my worse nightmare coming to haunt me,this can't be happening. I've been running away for years i never thought i would ever see him again. Me and Terrence have a very complicated history,he is my EX husband and let me say things didn't end very well. We were married for 18years and they were the best years of my life,but the last moments i saw Terrence.What led to the divorce Terrence cheated on me" he said it was a one night stand but the bitch got pregnant with his baby" but it happened and things will never be the same. I didn't want his wife to suspect a thing or Taye for that matter but at that table I was dying inside. 17 years  later he was in my face,and still the old same Terry,God i need to leave this place.

21:43pm
Later at night

We were watching TV and Jay was busy on his phone and honestly the movie was the last thing on mind,he was running thru my brain. I just wanted the,earth to open up and swollow me.

Taye:Baby you okay ever since we came back from the dinner youve be quiet
Taraji:I'm great,baby are you Happy with the house we can move if y'all aren't happy
Jay:Mom!Really you said we will never move again jeez!!
Taye:Nah,we happy plus you said we ain't ever moving
Taraji: Nah,just curious

They so hard headed sometimes,just then my phone rang bringing me out of my thoughts.

Taraji:I don't know this number probably business,
Taye:Okay babe

It was a bit loud in the lounge so i went upstairs

Over the phone

Taraji:Taraji P Henson
Terrence:Its Terrence
Taraji:What the...Where did you get my numbers?

I said above a whisper,i closed the bedroom door and went in the bathroom,i couldn't risk Taye asking me all them questions.

Terrence:I took them from Mira's phone
Taraji:I'm hanging up
Terrence:Don't! you wouldn't want your husband to know about our history now would you?
Taraji:What? What the fuck do you want from me?
Terrence:We need to talk!
Taraji:There is nothing to talk about okay,now i beg you with my life please don't ever call me or talk to me ever again
Terrence:Taraji...
Taraji:Please Terrence
Terrence:Okay,I'll call you tomorrow and you better answer

I hung up the phone and leaned against the wall. Terrence wants to ruin my life i can feel it, and know i have to talk to him cause i know he wont let this go before i even knew it tears were streaming down my face.
