Fantasia has been going over the script as Celie for some time. Although she's studied this story and has been Celie's character in the broadway play, there was something she couldn't get right.
"Hi my love," Taraji walked into the back room that Fantasia has been in for what feels like forever.
Tasia looks up to see Taraji, instantly some she had felt some relief.
"Hi," a smile formed as her soft voice spoke.
"Now what are you doing in here so late? Your scene was over hours ago," Taraji found her way right next to Tasia on the couch. Real close as she usually was.
"I just need to go over this script," she tried to explain as she read the words over and over.
Taraji took the paper from her hands setting it down on a table next to them.
"Come on T , you know I have to know this," her eyes met Tarajis once more.
"Mhm let me help you, plus we're not back on set until Monday," it was the weekend and Taraji had just the right idea.
"Oh lord, whatever you have in mind better not be crazy," Fantasia couldn't help but love how crazy Taraji truly is. Something about her made Tasia's heart jump. Although they were just coworkers and honestly becoming good friends Fantasia could feel a blooming attraction to Taraji.
"Go out with me tonight..." Taraji's voice trailed off as she stood up from the couch.
A quick lie came to Fantasia's mind , she knew this would be a bad idea. "I've got to feed my dog back at home-"
"You don't got no damn dog Tasia come on! It'll only be me and you tonight,"
Taraji pulled Fantasia from the couch. Little did she know that was Fantasia's concern after all. Even though they were both comfortable with each other, Taraji always did something to Fantasia nerves. Although Fantasia didn't know it, she did the same to Taraji.
It didn't take much convincing for Fantasia to go wherever Taraji wanted her to. They ended up at a bar close by. Using hoodies to cover their faces although there weren't many people around at all.
"Okay justtt a few shots before we dance," Taraji had bought two double shots for Tasia as soon as they sat down.
"Taraji you're trying to kill me," she laughed as she tilted her head back swallowing the liquor letting it burn down her throat.
"Just one more for now, I promise you're safe with me," Taraji couldn't keep her eyes off of the woman next to her. Her lips looked too good, her skin was glowing and from what she could see her breasts were something she'd love to put her mouth on.
Fantasia took the other shot before asking Taraji a question, "are you going to keep looking at me like you want to eat me or you're going to take some shots too?" Fantasia couldn't believe that those words came from her mouth but she didn't regret them. Her eyes were stuck on Taraji's. She was looking at her the same way.
"I'll do both," Taraji took one shot after the other. Fantasia couldn't help but laugh.
"So you told me you'd help me with this script," Fantasia reminded her. And as promised Taraji helped.
"What has you so stuck? You're an amazing actress and you've already done this before,"
"Celie's character is so heavy on my heart T," Fantasia kept it honest with her
"I can help you, you don't have to carry her alone," Taraji got closer to Fantasia. The smell of her was addictive to Taraji, she wanted more.
"Thank you. You and Danielle have been more than helpful already,"
