Previously on Coming Home..
Taraji and Justin were just talking and laughing until Justin phone ringed. It read 'wife ❤️ 💍' "uh, sorry. I got to take this" Justin interjected. "Ok" said Taraji. Justin went into the bathroom to answer the phone.
Justin: hello
Wife: Hi hubby
Justin: hey wife
Wife: I miss you
Justin: I miss you too
The present..
Wife: I know baby. I wish you could come back home
Justin: yeah I wish I could to that too but I'm fighting for our country. That's something I got to do
Wife: I know and I thank you for that
Justin: yeah, so what are my kids up to?
Wife: well Amani is sleep but A'Riah and Jr are up. The phone is actually on speaker.
Justin: hi guys
A'Riah & Jr: hey
Justin: daddy miss y'all
Amani: we miss you too.
Justin: I know
Jr: dad can I ask you a question?
Justin: yeah of course little man
Jr: how are you so brave to get out there and fight for our country when you could get killed?
Justin: because I'm just being a man babyboy and when you fear something you can't live life and I want you and your sister to always remember that just because your scared to do something, don't let it stop you from doing it
Jr: ok
Justin: alright let me talk to mommy
Wife: hello
Justin: yeah, love you baby I gotta go
Wife: ok
Justin: ok
*end of conversation*
"Whew that was a close one. I hope she doesn't ask who was calling me.... well shit what am I stressing about? I could easily just tell her it was a family member or something like that" said Justin as he fixed his suit.
Well If you are confused about what's going on, what happened was, basically Justin is lying to his family telling them that he is in the military. That's why he is away from his family. He just doesn't want to be a man and take the responsibility of having a wife and kids.
So he goes out with other women.
He walked back to the table and sat down. "Sorry about that. Now what were we talking about?" Justin asked her. "Your fine and we was talking about um... I was gonna ask you what made you move all the way here since you are from Ohio?" Said Taraji.
"Well when me and my ex broke up I wanted to start fresh so I decided to move and plus I don't have any kids anyway so yeah" he lied. "Mmm, that's a good way to start over" Taraji told him. "Thanks" he replied.
Hours later...
Taraji POV
After going out on a date with Justin I finally made it back home. I grabbed the door handle to get out of the car. Actually I was in Justin's car.
On the passenger side of course because it's not my car. "Wait wait" Justin spoke, as I tried opening the door. "Let me... open the door for you and walk you to the porch" he offered. "Well... I can agree with the door situation but I don't need you to walk me to my porch. No offense but I know how to defend myself"
I said nicely.
He laughed. "I love a woman with sass" he said licking his lips. He put his hand on my thigh. I slapped it. "We just met, I'm not the type of woman to just hope in the bed with a man. And plus I got kids in the house. I respect my kids I'm not tryna let them hear me screwing another man" I sat him straight.
"Yeah you right, my bad sorry...." he apologized. "I'll let you slide this time. But if you try it again, I'm cutting you off because I don't stay with dudes that just want one thing. I want a dude that wants a relationship and a future if you get what I'm saying" I told him.
"Yeah I feel you. And I'm that man that wants that." He made clear.
"Well we still need to take our time" I told him. "Ok, whatever you want. But, can I take you to the movies tomorrow night?" He asked me. I hesitated. And then thought about it. "Ok. But we can't keep going out like this because I have kids that I have to see about" I said. "Understandable" he opened the door for me and even though I had told him that I don't need anyone walking me to the porch he did it anyway.
"Can't wait to see you tomorrow. I really do like you." He admitted. To be honest, I like him too. I mean he's handsome, seems like he has a good mindset, I like his personality, he's funny, and we just have a good vibe around each other.
I unlocked my door and walked in, while he walked back to his car. I was met with a starring T'Arra. Seems like she has an attitude. "Um, I don't know why you starring at me like you got an attitude but you better fix that face" I put her in her place. I don't tolerate disrespect from any of my kids.
"Now,Who crawled up your butt and died?" I asked her, as she fixed her face. "Why are you with another man mom? I thought that since dad is trying to change that you would get back with him" she expressed. I sighed. "No I'm not getting back with your dad. We are just coparenting this time. That's it" I told her. "But why not get back together though? Me and Tyree heard the conversation. Seems like dad's feelings is hurt. Do you care about that?" She asked me. "T'Arra of course I care about it. But it's just the fact that he is acting crazy like we haven't been together for 5 years so what makes him think that I'm not gonna go out with other men? It's called moving on and I told him that I would move on. What part of moving on does he not get?" I vented.
"I love your dad and I will always love your dad but the relationship thing is just something I can't do anymore. I have moved on from that. Me and that man was together for 18 years and throughout the whole 18 years it was toxic. Sorry T'Arra and I'm sorry to your brother too but I can't do it anymore I just can't... He was my first boyfriend and when I did call it quits with him I only was in a relationship with two other men after that. So basically I'm a 39 year old inexperienced woman and that's a damn shame. I haven't even lived my life when it comes to relationships" I continued.
"And one thing I don't get is, T'Arra you have seen me in a relationship with another man before. Why now is you worried about me being with your dad?" I questioned. "Because, I thought that since you gave him a chance to be back in our lives then you'll give him a chance to be back in yours too" she said wiping her tears. "But I thought wrong though. And I can't change anyone's mindset...." she last spoke, walking away, going upstairs to her room.
Should Taraji try apologizing to Terrence or she doesn't owe him an apology? To be honest with you, I'm stuck between both options 😂 y'all comment down below what you think though
