Coming Home (completed ✅)

Chp 15

Previously on Coming Home..
Justin  came over. We have been talking and everything and he actually fell asleep on me. We are just friends... but something is telling me to go through his phone. I don't know why, but my mind is just telling me that. I am the type of person that always goes by my first mind so I grabbed his phone.

He didn't have a lock on it so I easily logged in. Then all of a sudden, I see that he has a wife and kids. My blood started to boil. "Justin" I said angrily. "Justin!" I repeated. He woke up. "What's all the screaming for?" He finally answered. "So you wasn't gonna tell me that you got a whole family?" I asked him. "What?"

The present..
Taraji POV
"You heard me, you know that you have a wife and kids but yet you are here with me, why?" I asked him. "It's not what it looks like" he said. "It's not what it looks like" I copied. "That's what everyone says when they are lying!" I set him straight. "Get out" I said nicely. "Raji come on, I'm sleepy at least wait until tomorrow." He suggested.

"Did you give a damn about that you had wife and kids and they are worrying about you? No. You are a sorry excuse for a man so why in the hell will I give a damn about you sleeping. GET THE FUCK OUT!" I screamed. He got out of bed and left. I sighed and put my hands on my forehead. People seem so good at the beginning but come to find out they are a whole different person, why? Why can't you just see straight through a person's actions instead of having to fall for them first? I mean yes I was falling for him. I really was but I'm glad I didn't.

I'm hurt, because I got fooled. But I'm not that hurt because I didn't get a chance to be in a relationship and actually fall in love thank God.

Everything happens for a reason.

I don't know why but I lowkey kind of miss Terrence now. And no it's not because I got my heart broke and I wanna come to him for comfort it's more to it. I love that man. We've been together for basically my whole life and besides him I only have been in like 2 real relationships and yes I might've loved those men but I would never love them the same way as I love Terrence.

I still do love him. I just... play hard to get. Because I'm confused about whether or not should I really get in a relationship with him or do we just need to leave each other alone. I cranked my car up to go to my mom's house. Yes, my mom's house. She gives pretty good advice and I never went wrong with her advice that she gives.

15 minutes later...
"Hi Taraji" my mom spoke. "Hey mom" I said as I sat down. "What brings you here?" She questioned. "I- I um... came here to get some advice from you because I'm in a point in my life where I'm just confused.." I told her. "Relationship wise" I clarified. "What do you mean? Like are you saying you're confused about whether you want to stay single or in a relationship or you just talking about a one particular person that you are confused about?" She questioned. I took a deep breath. "One particular person" I answered. "Ok sooo...who is this person?" man I wasn't expecting her to ask that. Oh well, let's get ready. "Terrence" I confessed.

"Ok so what are the issues? Start off with why you feel like y'all should be together first" she instructed. "Well I feel like we should be together because I love him and we have a lot of history and we have two kids together and if he really has changed I wouldn't mind starting off fresh again. Being that family that we tried to be but it didn't turn out as successful? I'll like to start over again all so we could finally be successful" I vented. "Ok and why do you feel like y'all two shouldn't be together?"

"Well because I've been with him basically my whole life and things never worked out between us so it's like should I stay with him or should I just move on like I was doing before" "i see your problem, you're scared of being hurt again, you're scared of y'all two getting back together and you thinking that he has changed but you two get together and you find out he hasn't changed and you're left to raise the kids all by yourself again.. am I right?" She explained. Well actually, that explains it perfectly. See that's why I love going to my mother for advice. It's like she knows me better than I know myself.
