TnT Temptations After Dark

Am I Coming Home?

"Cookie! Open the damn door!" Carol yelled outside of Cookie's hotel room. "Would you stop being so loud? You about to have all these people looking at us crazy and getting us kicked out!" Candace whisper shouted. "Girl I'm not worried about these white folks! COOKIE!!" Carol continued to yell out. Cookie finally opened the door, a tissue in hand as she sniffled. "What's wrong with you? Is something wrong? Is Andre okay?" Candace rushed out. Cookie waved her off, turning her phone around. Carol and Candace both looked at the text that had Cookie in tears. The two barely able to hold back their own.

Jamal: Ma I know some things are going down right now but I wanted to tell you that I love you and you are amazing and strong and Lucious Lyon ain't shit without Cookie! He better ask somebody. But no frfr. I love you and also I wanted to let you know that you are going to be a grandmother again. Kai and I have decided to adopt a child. So I'll have pictures and details soon. I miss you my Queen. Keep your head up so that crown never falls. I'll call you later😘🥰

"Aww Mal!" Carol squealed. "He is right though. You are so strong Loretha. You made Lucious who he is. Lord knows he would've still been on a corner selling crack and performing in old basements," Candace said. "Yeah sis. You don't need him. He needs you. So fuck him and let's finish celebrating!" Carol threw out, grabbing some liquor from the mini bar. "Uh your rehab bouncing ass ain't drinking shit. Thank you very much," Cookie spat, taking the mini bottles from Carol. "I haven't relapsed in years!" Carol argued. "That's good. Let's keep it that way," Candace heckled as she and Cookie took one to the head.

"Alright what are we doing today? I'm feeling a bit adventurous," Cookie voiced, seeing her sisters hold a mischievous smile. "What y'all do?" Cookie asked, pursing her lips. "We just need you to come with us for a bit-" "Yeah just a little surprise sis. Come on," Carol and Candace taunted. "I-" the sound of a knock on the door stopped Cookie from saying anything else. "You order room service?" Candace asked, getting a no from Cookie. Cookie walked to the door opening it and having instant regret. "You have got to be shitting me man!" Cookie groaned. "You!? You the one out yo damn mind! What is wrong with you!?" Lucious growled as he pushed his way into the room.

"What are you doing here Lucious?" Carol asked. "Y'all need to get out so I can talk to Cookie!" Lucious snapped. Candace eyed him up and down, a mug planted on her face. "We are not going anywhere! Who do you think you're running?" Candace spat, feeling free to say whatever she wanted. Carol looked at Lu's demeanor, remembering very few times she saw him this pissed. "Tell your sisters to get the hell out of here!" He barked at Cookie, making her jump slightly. "Candace let's just give them a minute," Carol whispered, pulling her by the arm towards the door. Candace scoffed, snatching her arm away. "No! The only one leaving is one legged Lu over here!" Candace spewed.

Lucious' face grew red as he stared at Cookie. Why was she being so damn silent today of all days? "You better get her," he demanded. "Get who!? Out of all the shit you just told her and all the shit you've done to her why do you feel like you can just run up in here and demand a damn thing from her!?" Candace spat. Lucious snapped his head towards Candace, his eyes dark as the night. "Go! Just...just go. Give me 10 minutes " Cookie finally said, standing in front of her sisters. "What!? No we're not going!" Candace argued. "Shut up and go! She'll be fine just go!" Carol snapped, pulling Candace out the room. Once the two were gone, Cookie could feel Lucious glaring at her.

"What?" She questioned, sounding fed up. "Are you serious right now?" He asked, pacing back and forth. "Serious about what Lucious? Leaving?" She threw out. He spun to look at her, her tone throwing him for a loop. "It's been 2 weeks! You just gone up and leave for 2 weeks!?" He asked the rhetorical question. "Apparently so. What do you want Lucious?" She crossed her arms over her chest, trying to figure out what he could possibly be mad about this time. "What part of that big ass head of yours told you to leave and not tell me where you were going?" He growled. Cookie scrunched her eyebrows as she looked at him. Who the fuck does he think he is?
