"Believe what your heart tells you and not what others say"

Taraji P Henson
POV
Tuesday 10:27am

I'm prepared for whatever happens in court today but I'm not ready because Terrence told me today is gonna be a bit rough so I'm expecting anything that comes my way,he told me he wants us to use his car so I'm driving over to his place. I can't say him and I are dating but I can see something happening in future between the two of us,I like him and he seems like a good person,well I hope he is because I'm not dating to pass time but because I see something in you. I parked my car next to his and rang the door bell and Brooklyn opened the door

Brook:Hey
Taraji:Hi baby girl,why aren't you at school?
Brook:I don't have classes today

She let me in and led us to the kitchen

Taraji:Okay where is your dad
Brook:He is still getting ready,want something to drink?
Taraji:No I'm fine
Brook:my dad told me about what transpired between you and my mom,I apologise for...
Taraji:No need for you to apologise,I don't care about you mom okay?
Brook:Okay,I thought I heard your voice yesterday night were you here?

I don't want Terrence's daughter to know what is happening between us because we don't have a label for it and I like my private life to remain just that PRIVATE!

Taraji:No it wasn't me

I hate lying

Brook:Oh okay good luck in court I'll let my dad know you're here
Taraji:Thank you

She went upstairs and I stood up to five myself a tour around the house since Terrence was getting ready and I didn't even realise that I came VERY early considering the court sessions starts at 111:40m. His kitchen is too beautiful if I could swap it with mines,i would in a heart beat

He said staring at me

Taraji:No I don't mind,why you looking at me like that Terrence
Terrence:You're so beautiful
Taraji:Stop

He moved towards me closing the gap in between us and placed his hands around my waist

Terrence:You changed your hair color
Taraji:Marlo suggested it
Terrence:Marlo?
Taraji:My friend... well PA
Terrence:I like it
Taraji:Brooklyn asked me if I was here yesterday and I had to lie to her
Terrence:Dont worry about her,I tried calling last night but I figured you were sleeping already
Taraji:I fell asleep sorry

He gave me a quick peck and I wiped the lipstick off him

Terrence:Let me get my stuff then we can go and move my car so you can park in the garage
Taraji:I'll go get my bag

Terrence Howard
POV

It's a bad day in court that I can day,If this is how I'm feeling I can't imagine how Taraji is feeling

Vanessa:Ms Henson you got married to this man because you claimed you loved him but how you treated this man says something else. You think you're better than everyone around you just because you got  money
Taraji:That is not true your honor
Vanessa:You insisted my client marries you because of the image you wanted to potrey to the public but now because  you have everything you want you're done with him
Taraji:I didn't insist that we get married...
Vanessa:Your honor I have no further questions for Ms Henson 

Vanessa is trying to break Taraji and I hope Taraji doesn't fall for her trap.



Terrence:Ms Henson has your husband ever been involved in illegal activities
Taraji:In his past yes
Terrence:Has he put your life in danger
Taraji:Yes he has
Vanessa:SPECULATION YOUR HONOR
Terrence:i rephrase.  Was there ever a time where you feared for your life when you were with Mr Alba?
Taraji:Yes
Terrence:Your honor Mr Alba mistreated my client thru out their marriage and he keeps on tormenting her even when they are separated and for that he doesn't deserve none of my clients hard earned assets.
Magistrate:I will make my ruling after lunch,court anjourned!

13:45pm

Taraji has been agitated since we left court and we have a few minutes before we go back in,I wanted to get lunch but she said she is too nervous to eat. I really don't know how it's gonna go in there but I'm hoping for the best because I don't want to fail Taraji as a lawyer

Taraji:Terrence I don't want to give my businesses or anything that is mine to him,my life would be over

I grabbed her hand and she looked at me

Terrence:Whatever happens in there is meant to be and you don't blame yourself for anything okay
Taraji:You don't understand...
Terrence:I don't care what the media or your parents or whoever have to say about you,I care about you and your only at this moment nothing else matters
Taraji:Okay let's go





Magistrate:Mr Alba you came into the marriage with nothing and didn't show intentions of being after Ms Henson's money and that tells me something about the kind of man you are.

I'm screwed

Magistrate:Ms Henson the fact remains that you and Mr Alba got married and didn't sign a prenuptial agreement so Mr Alba had the right to get half of everything you own nut he has shown greed and turned you into somebody you're not. Ms Henson  you get to keep all your assets court is anjourned!

Taraji P Henson
POV

I can't believe this whole thing is finally over and it's all because of Terrence,he really came thru for me and I don't even know how to thank him.  When we left court we went straight to my house because i didn't  want anyone to disturb or interupt us. If he can protect me in court then he can surely protect me in a relationship and I think I'm ready for that. We were resting in the couch and I had my head reared  on his lap

Taraji:Terrence?
Terrence:Mmhh?
Taraji:You still want us to be together?
Terrence:More than anything baby
Taraji:Okay
Terrence:Okay what?

I moved my head and sat on his lap grabbing his chin to give him a kiss

Taraji:You're my boyfriend now okay
Terrence:Oh so you're telling me?
Taraji:Yes I am
Terrence:Okay girlfriend










I had to move with these court scenes

So they are together?

Somebody is coming to town, who is it?

What do ya'll want to see happen???
