The Other Woman

Begging for Acceptance

Taraji's POV

Ever since I posted that picture on Instagram, everyone has been feeling like they have a say in my life. I couldn't care less about the trolls who like dragging my name for dirt, but people whom I thought were my friends. Me and Terrence are happy and there's nothing anyone can do
I was laying in bed and eating berries while Terrence was in the shower.



He came out buttoning his shirt and came near the bed

Terrence:Baby, you okay? you look pissed.
Taraji:Yea,it's just...
Terrence:People?? Baby don't mind what these people a saying, okay!
Taraji:Marcel has been ignoring my calls
Terrence:Have you been calling him?
Taraji:Obviously, what if something...
Terrence:Stop thinking like that. He is fine. If you still worried just go see him
Taraji:I think it's because of you know...
Terrence:Me and you??
Taraji:Yea, maybe I should have talked to him about it before we actually went public, don't you think?
Terrence:Come help me a little



I got up from the bed and clipped his cufflinks

Terrence:baby don't get me wrong, but Marcel is grown up and you don't need approval from your son on who to see. If he was a problem with us being together then he should call you and address. Now stop getting worked up over nothing

I guess Terry is right maybe it's nothing but I have to speak to my son
Terrence is going to meet his lawyers to discuss how the divorce will go down. I've been spending a lot of time at his place I'm starting to miss m house. I'll just go over there after he leaves. We just finished having breakfast and I'm clearing the table

Terrence:I'm leaving now, Try not to stress okay
Taraji:Okay baby, I'll go home and come back
Terrence:Okay, I love you
Taraji:I love you too

Terrence POV

I know Taraji will so the opposite of what I asked her to do and call Marcel, but I can't stop her.
I just came back from my meeting and everything is set, I just have to pitch up in court sign the damn papers then I'm done. I don't want any bad blood between Mira and I, she's still the mother of me children and we have to communication no matter what. I put my car keys on the key holder and went upstairs, I'm so tired Taraji wears my Ass out
I was about to call Taraji then the door bell rings. God who can it be? I went downstairs to answer the door and I was so surprised at the was standing before me

Taraji's POV

I just finished packing my suitcase and my phone lit up it was Terrence

Terry
Babe you have to get here real quick

Rahji
Okay I'm on my way

God, what now? Terrence sounded really serious I just hope everything went okay with the lawyers, that both Mira better not try anything.
I put my suitcase in the boot, and rushed to Terry's house.
I dragged my bag and opened the front door

Taraji:Terry babe I'm here
Terrence:I'm in the lounge

I walked over there and Terrence was sitting next to my son, I think I lost my breath for a second

Taraji:Marcel
Marcel:Hi, mom
Taraji:What brings you here??
Terrence:Let me give you some space if you need anything, you know where to find me

Terry walked upstairs

Marcel:I see what has been circulating the internet is true!
Taraji:Baby, I wanted to tell it's just I haven't really found time
Marcel:mom a simple phone call would have been enough, I mean geez
Taraji:It's just everything happened so fast, but...
Marcel:Why him??? There other nigga's
Taraji:Listen, I know I should have told you about me and Terrence but baby you gotta understand I LOVE him and he LOVES me
Marcel:Are you happy thou?
Taraji:Yea, I'm happy.
Marcel:Then I'm happy for you, isn't he married thou?
Taraji:He actually just came back from a meeting with his lawyers, they getting a divorce. How did you know I was here and how did you get here??
Marcel:Grandma told me everything, you should have seen Terrence's face when he opened the door
Taraji:So, the two of you didn't talk or anything??
Marcel:No, but for the record.. He's a cool guy
Taraji:TERRENCE!
Terrence:I'm coming!

Terrence came downstairs and took a seat next to me

Taraji:Baby, I'm sorry but we have to break up, Marcel doesn't want me being with you
Terrence:Ummmmh, wh... Why???

Me and Marcel looked at each other, and burst into laugher

Marcel:Man we just playing with you, I'm cool with you being with me Mama just don't play her
Terrence:nah I won't play with her

Terrence leaned in and whispered to me

Terrence:Your Ass gonna pay for playing like that
Taraji:Not with me and in the room
Marcel:well Ma,I'm gonna go since I've done what I came here for
Terrence:Don't you wanna spend the day with Your Mom, I'll give you guys some space
Taraji:Yea, baby you can leave tomorrow morning just spend the night here
Marcel:Grandma's all alone and I kinda missed her so  I'm gonna spend sometime with her
Taraji:Okay, baby be safe and I love you
Marcel:Okay Maybe, I love you

I walked Marcel to the car, which I hadn't noticed when I came in and we embraced each other an he got in the car and drove off. I went back inside the and took my bag upstairs. Terrence was laying on the bed talking on the phone. I took of me jacket and threw it on the bed and jumped on top of the bed which made Terrence jump also.
He got of the phone and kept playing with me hair.

Terrence:Baby??
Taraji:mmmh
Terrence:You tired??
Taraji:Physically?? Nah... But emotionally?? I'm drained! I'm just tired of begging for acceptance
Terrence:Baby lay on your stomach

I did as I was told and Terrence got on top of me and sat on my lower back. He pulled my shirt off and unclasped my bra.
He pulled some lotion that was on the night stand and applied it on my back. It smelled really good vanilla scented and God, he was magic hands

Taraji:mmh ,baby that feels sooooo gooood
Terrence:Stop will all those sounds

I was starting to feel very sleepy, Terrence kept on talking and I was giving him those"mmmmh"response

Terrence POV

I kept on talking to Rahji and she kept on saying "mmmmh " I just figured she was sleepy and after a few minutes she was out. She was tired of everything and people feeling entitled to have a say in her life. I never want her to feel like this, but knowing that I got her, everything was gonna fall in place it was a matter of time. She doesn't know what I have in store for her
I just covered the blanket over her  and got settled inside the the blanket and drifted off
