(Yes I know that I'm behind with the time thing but I have my own time in all of my stories so yea 😂)
A week later..
Taraji's POV
Today is February 22nd, 2021. Not only is it February 22nd, 2021 but it is my babygirl's 15th birthday. Time flies by so fast I can't believe it. It feels like I was just celebrating her 1st birthday yesterday. She asked me could her boyfriend come over and I told her yes. I mean it's her birthday and plus she's a teenager and I got to let her enjoy her life as a teenager.
But trust me, I will be keeping a close eye on them, he will not be spending the night and when he's over here he has to follow some rules. If he doesn't follow them then he can't come back over here anymore.
Terrence is still mad at me and I feel as if yes I was a little mean to him so I do wanna apologize. Speaking of that I am gonna apologize when he makes it over here.
My whole family is already here. Some are outside and some are inside. My brother Gavin walked in."Taraji, Terrence is here and he wants T'Arra to turn around" Gavin stated. "Ok T'Arra turn around" she did as told.
"Ok Terrence you can come in" said Gavin. Terrence walked in with a chihuahua. An apple head chihuahua. That's what T'Arra has always wanted. "Ok T'Arra you can turn around"said Terrence.
T'Arra turnt around seeing the chihuahua. She jumped up and down in excitement like a 5 year old. "Oh my god dad thank you so much!" She said hugging him and getting the dog out of his hands. I smiled. "Ouu it's a puppy. It's cute" Spoke Tyree. "I know" said Terrence.
"Is it a girl or boy?" T'Arra questioned. "It's a boy. I would've got you a girl but the dude that I bought them from didn't have any more girls left" he explained. "It's ok, I'm still thankful" she replied.
"Uh, Terrence?" I said getting his attention, he looked up at me. "Can I talk to you for a second... in private?" I announced. He nodded. I led him upstairs, own up to my bedroom. I closed the door and locked it.
"What is it?" He asked me. "I just wanna say that... I'm sorry for the way that I talked to you. I recognized that I could've been more nicer about the situation and sometimes it's not what you say it's how you say it. And that I'm sorry for saying that you were in prison around my date" I confessed.
"But I'm not the only one in the wrong here. I was mature enough to admit to my wrongs so I need you to do the same thing" I made clear. "Wrongs? What I do? You're all in the wrong here. I mean, I understand we've been broken up for 5 years but damn at least have some sympathy for me I wasn't expecting that" Terrence vented.
"So you spazzing out and just cussing wasn't wrong- you know what.. I just came here to be mature about the situation. But since you don't wanna do that, let's just go back downstairs and celebrate our daughter birthday" I told him. "You still talking to your date?" He asked me. "Terrence why does it matter? We're not together" I said frustrated. Very frustrated.
"You know what, your right. We not together. I'm just gonna leave it alone and just focus on my kids. I can't make you be with me, hell I can't make nobody on this earth be with me if they don't want to. Whatever happens... life goes on so ain't no need for me to sit up here and be mad about it. I'm just gonna enjoy my kids, and enjoy life" he indicated.
"Exactly, the only thing I ask is that we get along for the sake of our kids" I told him. He nodded. "I can do that" he trialed off as he walked up closer to me. "But just know that I love you. I will always love you. And since this is the end of our relationship I guess-" I cut him off. "It's not a guess in it I'm done" I said nicely. "Well since this is the end of our relationship I just wanna say that I will always love you and I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for you. No matter how mad I am or no matter if we on good terms or bad terms I still love you" he poured out.
His eyes watering up. You can tell that he didn't want me to see him cry. "And I will always have a soft spot for you too Terrence. And I will always love you no matter what. It's just that I can't keep going back to the same thing again. I never meant to hurt your feelings, make you mad or break your heart but this is just what it is" I told him. "I get it" he said.
"Come on let's go back downstairs" he said. We went back downstairs, my mother looked at Terrence. "Terrence have you been crying?" She asked him. "No Ma'am I was just yawning that's it" he lied. "Ok"
A few hours later...
Everyone celebrated, everyone ate including cake and everyone went home. Now it was late at night, the kids were in they room and Taraji was in her room. She was thinking about Justin. And by thinking of him, he called her phone.
