"Love or not"





Terrence Howard
POV

Tuesday

06:20am

I've never been worn out before that's all I have to tell you even when I was married. Taraji is one hell of an amazing women and I know I'm very lucky to have her but I have to leave and get home then work but I could lay with her the whole day if I could,I've never seen such a beautiful face so early in the morning.

I got up slowly and quietly as possible I don't want to wake her up because she is tired that I know for sure,I grabbed my clothes from the floor and and gave my baby a peck on the forehead not waking her up.

11:20am

My day started out great but it got shitty when I got to my company so I'm in the middle of a meeting with the other shareholders trying to explain why our dividends aren't flactuating like last but that's just how it is in business,I don't even owe half of these people an explanation because this is my company and I am the majority shareholder.

David:Mr Howard everyone in here has invested a lot of money in this company and if we don't get want we want from you then we are gonna take out business somewhere else
Terrence:You all keep telling me about our market share Droping but not coming up with solutions so David if you you want to take your business else where then do that and that applies to everyone else who is in here I said I will fix this

Being a lawyer and running a multi million dollar company is not easy and I'm getting too old for this,I got in my office and looked at my company's financial statements to try and fix this mess



Taraji P Henson
POV

15:50pm

Today has been one of the longest days since this week started and I can't wait to get home and run myself a hot bubble bath then sleep. Terrence hasn't called me since he sneaked out this morning to leave me high and dry but I'm not gonna get into that,I'm just waiting for Marlo to bring some files then I can leave.

Marlo:Sorry Ms Henson,here are the files you asked for.
Taraji:It's fine
Marlo:So you never got to tell me about how  yesterday went with your dry season

Marlo is just uncensored

Taraji: It wasn't a dry season Marlo but last night was great
Marlo:I can tell you've been stuck to your chair half of the day so he is working with a monster down there
Taraji:He hasn't called me thou
Marlo:So he did put it down good

I'm not gonna answer that because my mom once said you don't ever spill about  your bedroom business because they might want to find out themselves  so NO

Taraji:I kinda feel used,he didn't even leave a note let alone call me during the day and he usually calls but I just feel we had sex too soon maybe I was just foward
Marlo:Terrence doesn't look like one of those guys but if he is then that's his loss because any men would be lucky to...
Taraji:Don't give me a motivational talk I've been with one men all my life but I'm gonna get home and cry with a box of tissues around Marlo Terrence will call when? I don't know but you can go home and I will see you tomorrow
Marlo:Taraji...
Taraji:Marlo...
Marlo:You love him?
Taraji:NO! WHAT? Marlo I haven't even been dating him for 5 months and have you forgotten I just got out of a divorce
Marlo:You fell out of love with Idris years ago,I get he was your first everything but you were over him before the divorce. Now you can deny loving Terrence till your face turns blue but you know I'm telling the truth but do you. See you tomorrow boss

Marlo is crazy I can't love or be in love with Terrence so soon,it's just impossible but I'm definitely angry at him.

I got home and just threw myself on my bed after the tiring day I've had I just want to sleep,I took my clothes to put my robe on and but I could hear vibrate from under my bed,I slid my hand under and it's Terrence's phone. I feel stupid after getting mad about him not calling but he actually forgot his phone.  It rang again and it was Brook because it read baby girl

Brook:Dad I've been calling since forever I'm already late for dance class and still stuck at school ALONE
Taraji:It's me,you're dad forgot his phone
Brook:It's sorry for answering like that
Taraji:It's fine baby do you want me to fetch from school or call you an Uber?
Brook:You know I would love for you to fetch me
Taraji:I'm on my way then

There goes my hot bubble bath

16:45pm

Brook:Thank you so much for fetching me
Taraji:It's not problem baby when did you last speak to your father?
Brook:This morning before he went to work and how come he forgot his phone by your place? Do tell
Taraji:Grown folk business baby girl
Brook:Ya'll had sex I'm old enough
Taraji:To know about sex but not have sex!
Brook:Okay enough about that. You know that you're my unofficial stepmother?
Taraji:Brooklyn you are crazy
Brook:My dad tell me that all the time. Are you gonna wait for my dad to get back from work  or?
Taraji:Is your grandmother inside?
Brook:No she left. Please don't break up with my dad because of her, I know she comes off to harsh but she really loves my dad and just wants the best for him and she will come around and eventually get used to you just don't mind her
Taraji:Then I will wait for your dad to get back from work

Brooklyn unlocked the door and we ealked into the kitchen while she poured us something to drink. She gave me orange juice and took a seat next to mines,I sometimes wish I also had a daughter to cone home to and just someone who is gonna love me the way she loves Terrence

Brook:My dad genuinely likes you Taraji and I can tell you like him to so I'm really rooting for ya'll
Taraji: That is so sweet and I really do like Terrence and I also want us to work and I'm glad you are accepting of our relationship
Brook:You're Ms Taraji P Henson I mean?

While I was talking to Brooklyn Terrence's phone started ringing again but I didn't want to answer his phone calls because I would hate for him to do that

Taraji:You dad's phone is ringing should I answer it?
Brook:I don't care I'm going upstairs to freshen up and we are cooking stepmother
Taraji:Okay "stepchild"

Terrence phoned beeped and I just wanted to see who needs him so bad.

He didn't have a pass code so I just went to his messages
