"No more expectations. Just go with the flow . Whatever happens, happens.

Taraji P Henson
POV
Monday 09 : 11am


Mondays are always a drag and the most important because that's when I have back to back meetings. I only go to court on Thursday which gives me time to catch up on everything that I have missed for the past few days. I have been burying myself with work and ignoring Terrence 's calls since Thursday,I don't know why I allowed the kiss to happen because it's gonna complicate things between us. I didn't want to like Terrence but now that I do,I have to try my best to not cross that line. I could still feel his lips on mines,he has the softest lips ever Marlo walked in disturbing me from my thoughts.

Marlo:Mr Howard Just walked in the building should I let him in Ms Henson?
Taraji:Terrence is here?
Marlo:Yes mam,i don't think you have a meeting with him
Taraji:Yes I don't have a meeting with him but just let him in
Marlo:You don't seem sure?
Taraji:Just let him in Marlo
Marlo:Okay

Why would he come to my work place, i hope he's not here to talk about what happened on Thursday because that's not a conversation i want to have today.


He walked in closing the soor and sat down facing me

Taraji:What a you doing here?
Terrence:Good morning, Look the judge postponed from Thursday to tomorrow i wanted to let you know
Taraji:You should have called instead of driving all the way to here
Terrence:You weren't answering my calls anyways i manage to dig up somethings about your husband so things will get nasty tomorrow come prepared.

Is it me or he's kinda cold towards me.


Taraji:Okay how is  Brooklyn doing?
Terrence:She's good, tommrow 10:00am don't be late. Have a good day

Is he just gonna leave like that, why is he the one that is upset because he is the one who kissed me, i should be angry at him.

Taraji:Terrence wait...

He turned back from door and sat down

Terrence:Yes?
Taraji:What's up with you?
Terrence:Nothing,  i have a meeting i have to prepare for in a few hours...
Taraji:So you really not gonna say anything about what happened on Thursday?
Terrence:What happened doesn't matter anymore. Look can i leave?

I thought he liked me?

Taraji:Ok i guess I'll see you tomorrow
Terrence:Bye


I can understand why Terrence is feeling the way he is but that doesn't give him a reason to treat me like that. I like him but I don't think I'm ready for a another relationship maybe in a few months.  Plus Terrence has a messy ex wife who looks like she still wants him.

Marlo walked in with the files I had ask for earlier and decided to take a seat where Terrence sat a few minutes ago.

Marlo:Ms Henson are you okay?
Taraji:Yes I'm okay Marlo,is there anything else you need from me?
Marlo:Mr Howard Just walked out of here and usually you're in a good mood after seeing him but today
Taraji:Marlo I'm in a good mood
Marlo:No you're not
Taraji:I'm trusting you.  We kissed last week Thursday and
Marlo:OMG! You kissed? How was it?
Taraji:Marlo...
Marlo:Okay sorry,so what happened?
Taraji:Well after we kissed I didn't know how to feel so I kinda ignored him so when you told me he is here I was shocked but he just came to tell me about the court date tomorrow so when I asked him about Thursday he just said it doesn't matter
Marlo:You like him?
Taraji:No!
Marlo:I know you're my boss but I need to tell you this. You have placed yourself in a shell and put up a wall to protect yourself but that doesn't mean you have to shut people out,what I need you to do is to stop lying to yourself and admit you like him
Taraji:Marlo...
Marlo: Taraji I've been your PA since for ever so I know you. Half of the time you don't mean to be rude or ignorant but that's how you were brought up and you can't change that so don't lie to me girl
Taraji:OKAY Marlo,I like him
Marlo:Then let him know
Taraji:Marlo I can't be jumping from man to man,my divorce hasn't even been finalised. The media would have a field day...
Marlo:I'd you tell the reason you wouldn't date Terrence is because you're not over Idris,that would be the biggest joke ever because you never loved that man
Taraji:I did love him...
Marlo:You had love for him but you were never in love with him,to be honest with you the only reason you even married him was because of  your parents  but I won't get in to that
Taraji:He doesn't like Marlo
Marlo:He likes you
Taraji:But he...
Marlo:His feelings were hurt,talk to him and tell him how you feel. This maybe your chance at real love boss
Taraji:Nah,I'll get over him. I just want this court case to end already then him and I won't ever see each other again












Terrence Howard
POV

19:12pm


I understand why they say woman are complicated but Taraji takes it up a whole notch,I really like her and i think she likes me too or does she?  She wouldn't have kissed me back if she didn't right? I was  having a late drink with one of my friends because I needed someone to vent about this whole situation

Phil:Man you mean to tell me that you feeling  "TARAJI P HENSON"?
Terrence:This shit is fucked up man,I didn't even think I'd fall for her like that. I've never dated someone like her be...
Phil:You used to women who depend on you for everything them trophy wife type. I don't even understand how can you like her,she's mean as hell.
Terrence:She's a good person man
Phil:Nah she's crazy as hell,you seen all the things her husband been saying bout her.  In fact you know cause you're her damn lawyer she's fucked up
Terrence:Man don't be talking about her like that,I don't like that shit
Phil:Man you really like that bitch?
Terrence: Phil I'm not playing with you man! Don't call her out of her name!
Phil:Okay sorry man but I'd you really like her than use that "Terrence Howard" charm to win her over.
Terrence:She won't fall for that man,she's not your typical girl.  She's a women whose not fooled by chocolates and roses
Phil:Just forget about her man
Terrence:You're right I should...

Someone rang the door bell interupting our conversation,it must be one of Brooklyn 's friends because I'm not expecting anyone unless it's Vanessa because she usually comes around this time whenever she pitches up

Terrence:BROOKLYN ANSWER THE DOOR
Brooklyn:I'M BUSY
Phil:Man just get the door and leave Brook alone

I opened the door and there stood  Taraji looking hot as ever with a white short dress shirt showing her black lace bra.


Taraji:HiTerrence:Hey what are you doing here? Taraji:Terrence about Thursday
