"Would you like you if you met you "
Taraji P Henson
POV
Afternoon
I could kill Brooklyn for what she just did but I'm glad this fool knows.
Terrence:So you were tryna run away with my baby Taraji?
Taraji:I was gonna tell when the time was right not when you're being like this
Terrence:Brooklyn let me talk to your mom
Brooklyn went upstairs and I dragged my suitcase towards because no matter what he says I'm leaving,he came closer to that our chests were touch and i looked to the side
Terrence:Taraji...
Taraji:Mmmh
Terrence:Baby you know I love you
Taraji:Well you haven't shown it got a while but it's fine I'll give you some space okay
I pushed him away softly and opened the door
Terrence:so you don't love anymore?
Taraji:Don't do that,you know I love you but you're not YOU right now and I just need to protect myself.
Terrence:I'd never hurt you Taraji
Taraji:But you already have, I'll keep you updated about the baby and I'll fetch the rest of my stuff sometime during the week.
I don't want to be without Terrence but my sanity and emotional wellbeing is important here and for my baby,maybe he'll come around sooner but right now he is no good to anyone including himself.
A month later
Friday Midday
The past few weeks have been difficult but I've been thru worse and I can't complain. I'm almost three months pregnant and I'm starting to show a bit,Terrence does check up on me and the baby daily and I do appreciate that but things haven't been the same. Our parents weren't very happy about the baby because "we're not married yet" but this is our baby and we are gonna do things our way. Brooklyn decided to move in with me two weeks ago and she's been so helpful. Terrence is coming back today from Paris,he had some business meeting and he finally got back to his "normal self" but he just doesn't want to open up to me,he's more like cold towards me and nice to other people.
Marlo:Lunch for my baby
Marlo came in with my food,she's a godsend
Taraji:Thank you so much Marlo
Marlo:No problem,so when are you gonna take your leave?
Taraji:I don't know but Terrence did ask me about that also so I'll have a talk with him
Marlo:Oh that dude
Taraji:Marlo...
Marlo:He's a piece of shit still but I'll drop it
My phone started ringing saving me from Marlos's usual rants about Terrence
Taraji:Speak of the devil
Marlo:Yea talk to the devil
Taraji:Hi Terrence
Terrence:Sorry to disturb you but I think I misplaced my keys and you and Brook have keys and she said she can't get off work,so can you please meet me at the house
Taraji:Ok I'll be on my way now
Terrence:Thanks,bye
Maybe we are really done. I grabbed my stuff and went over there. I still love with everything in me and I know he still love but we just going going thru somethings now and I just hope everything works for the sake of everyone
2 o'clock
I got there in 20 minutes and Terrence was already waiting by the door
Taraji:I'm sorry I took a bit,I had to make like 4 stops just to relieve my bledder. I need the bathroom now
Terrence:It's fine
I opened the door and rushed upstairs to the bathroom.
Terrence Howard
POV
I've missed my family so much during these past few weeks and I know it's my fault and I hate myself for that. I know I'll hurt Taraji again and I don't want to do that hence I've been staying away from her but she looks so damn good in that tight ass skirt with that high slit, damn I miss my baby.
I've got to fix things and get my life in order again. She came downstairs start down and took off her blazer.
Taraji:How was your trip?
Terrence:It was business so I didn't really get to see anything. How's my baby doing in there? And your stomach is big for four months.
Taraji:Yea I'm fat I know Terrence no need to point it okay
Terrence:Bab... Taraji I didn't mean like that
She tried taking her shoes off but she was struggling,she really needs to stop going to work because it's just too stressful.
Taraji:I'll get going ,stupid shoes...
I got up and bended down to take her shoes off and sat next to her.
Terrence:I missed you
Taraji:You didn't call thou but it's fine I know we're not together anymore.
Terrence:I know we're not together but I still love you more than anything and I don't know why you don't want to take me back or you don't love me anymore
Taraji:Terrence we've talked about this and I'm tired,hungry and in a bad mood so please don't
Terrence:You can't force me to open I told I'm not ready and you trying to force me to see a therapist won't work
Taraji:We getting nowhere AGAIN. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow come don't come,I don't care. I'm hungry
Terrence:You so abusive damn lay down and I'll order something. Rahji?
Taraji:Mhhh
Terrence:We still have a chance right?
Taraji:Will you go to therapy?
Terrence:Taraji...
Taraji: You have your answer.

Saturday Morning

Taraji P Henson
POV
I don't even know why I agreed to spend the night here but I didn't sleep in the same bed as him instead I slept with Brooklyn because she insisted on coming because she doesn't "trust" me around Terrence. I sent up with my back against the headboard while Brook was laid peacefully next me. I grabbed my phone to check for any important calls or messages but nothing,I felt a bit of movement in my stomach and remembered the doctor did say that the baby will start moving around about this time. I softly moved from the bed making sure I don't wake her up and went to go take a shower.
Out of habit I fixed breakfast and Terrence walked in just in time,I love this man so much and I just hope he is welling to do whatever it takes for us to be where we were before this whole thing. Terrence came behind me
Taraji:Uh uh move
Terrence:Come on,i can't even touch you
Taraji:Yes now move
Terrence:Fine I'll go to the damn shrink
I turned around to see if he was serious
Taraji:Really?
Terrence:Yes really
I gave him a quick peck and set up the table. Brook walked downstairs and sat down and started eating before Terrence and I could even sit down, I sat next to her while Terrence was still talking on the phone
Taraji:Why you grumpy?
Brook:So you already forgave him for being an ass to you?
Taraji:Baby...
Brook:Nah... weren't you the same person that said I shouldn't let a man mistreat me no matter what the circumstances are?
Taraji:Your dad and I aren't back together
Brook:You forget I know and him,so did he agree to go talk to someone so he can stop being an ass to everyone around the time of Sydney's death?
Taraji:Yes he said he'll go see a therapist
Brook:You lying
Taraji:I'm serious
She jumped from her seat wrapping her arms around my neck and placed kisses all over my face
Brook:Thank you so much, I don't know how many times I begged him
Taraji:Yea and next time I'm not taking the attitude
Brook:I'm sorry.
Terrence came in and sat opposite me
Terrence:I owe the both of you an apology,especially you Brook I know you've always been patient with me after your brothers death and d I couldn't ask for a better daughter and I know I was mad that you told Taraji but it was for the best. Taraji you've been so supportive,you've done more than any partner should in a relationship and all been patient with more and that one of the many reason why I love you. I go see a therapist not because you guys actually said so but because I need too but right now I need to go somewhere for a bit and I'll be back
Taraji: Our appointment is at 4pm okay
Terrence:I'll be back before then
Brook did the dishes and went out with her little boyfriend whom I don't like but she's old enough and I decided to clean around because this house clearly needs it.
I finished cleaning the whole and now doing the laundry,Terrence could have at least to his laundry to his mom because this is too much. I emptied the pockets a d found a piece of paper with a number and the girl even kissed it,i know things weren't pretty between us but him taking numbers from girls with cheap ass lipsticks is what we're not gonna do. I continued with emptying the pockets and all found his white shirt smeared with foundation and it's clearly not mine because tone is darker than mine. Terrence doesn't know me,I'm not the one to play with. I washed and ironed his clothes besides the shirt and went downstairs to wait for him and placed the shirt and piece of paper on the table. He better spin some good ass story because if he slept with Dianna girl,WE ARE DONE.
01:30 pm
Terrence:Hey baby I bought you something to eat before we leave
Taraji:Who is Dianna?
He looked at me then the items on the table and placed the food next to them.
Terrence:Baby calm down and let me explain okay
Taraji:WHO THE FUCK IS DIANNA TERRENCE?
Guys I don't know how much I've rewritten this chapter but still couldn't connect with it. I'll do my best on the next.
2018 wasn't a bad year for me because I'm finally done with high school but what made it was meeting Taraji twice. Her South African die hard fans were invited to have lunch with her on the 13.12.2018 and also partied with her on the 25.12.2018,one of my dreams came true earlier than I expected in life and I couldn't be note thankful. She is so amazing.
