When I See You

Chapter 7.

Fantasia's POV

      Of course this evening would be the evening Kendall would over drink.

"See what you have to do is get her pregnant man, pregnant pussy is the best. Me and Tasia-"

"Alright that is enough," I grabbed Kendall's hand. "Enough." He's made too many sexual comments, he's made myself and clearly Taraji uncomfortable. Tyrese attempted to keep conversation but they can only talk about sports for so long.

Taraji shook her head. Silently judging me across the table. Things are complicated between the both of us. I lied and said I didn't remember our kiss from months ago. But I had to for my son. Or I thought I had to. I gave Kendall a second chance and disappointed everyone around me, even Zion.

And tonight Zion is watching Dallas so that we could go out on a date. So he could take me out cause the last couple of months have been hard still. But seeing Taraji with some man made me upset. She won't even look at me and I know that it's my fault, I'm in no position to question that. But what's really pissing me off is Kendall. Him and Tyrese have been chatting since we got here. I haven't heard Taraji say a word since we were in the bathroom.

Is this how people feel when I don't speak? Both Tyrese and Kendall have been drinking but Kendall was worse. Way worse.

"I'm not lying to them babe. You feel too goo-"

"Didn't she say that's enough?" Tarajis voice was stern. She sounded disgusted. "You know Tyrese I think it's about time we go, before this boy keeps embarrassing himself and his wife," she looked over to me quickly before grabbing her bag.

"Hey, hey breathe Taraji it's alright we'll leave soon,"

"We're leaving now," Taraji stood up but Tyrese tried to grab her

"Don't you dare put your fucking hands on me," she gritted. "I'm going home," she walked outside, calling whoever she needed for a ride.

"We'll take care of the bill," I looked at Tyrese. He nodded, "thank you," as he rushed behind Taraji. "I'm sorry baby my intention wasn't to..." their conversation trailed out of the door.

I paid the bill and lugged Kendall to the car.
"You mad at me babe?" He came to kiss my lips and closed his car door.

Going over to my side and buckling myself in.
"Hey I'm sorry," he tried to grab me again.

"You embarrassed me," I glared at him "You embarrassed me so bad,"

"I'm sorry Tasia,"

"I don't want you drunk in front of my kids, sober up," I handed him an unopened water bottle that was in my car.

The drive to my house , was silent. I was praying the whole ride there. If I could just see my children then I'll be okay.

"Hi my babies," I walked through the front door announcing my presence because I miss my kids too much.

Zion came to give me a big hug. I held her for a while. She tucked her head under my chin, and she let me hug her for a long time. "How was he?" I asked her.

"I should be asking you the same," she laughed

"Mm mm mm you in grown folks business," I kissed her forehead.

"I made some dino nuggies I'm truly a chef,"

"The only one who thinks that is my little man over here," I walked over to Dallas I saw him all sleep on the couch.

"Come on let's get you upstairs you gotta go to bed," I kissed his forehead and his cheek.

"But mommy, sissy told me I can stay up," he gave me those puppy dog eyes as he yawned.

"Zion is this true?" I asked while turning around.

"Don't worry he can't stay up anyways," Zion laughed and brushed it off.

Kendall walked through the door, way more sobered up. His eyes were red , probably from crying so much in the car. But I didn't care.

"I'll set him upstairs to rest," he came over to kiss my cheek and my daughter's cheek. "Have a good night , i love you both," he opened his arms for Dallas and gave him a big hug.

"Hi daddy,"

"Hi my boy your sister was nice to you today?"

Dallas made a face that made the rest of us laugh.
"Hey don't lie on me," Zion chased him up the stairs, ultimately getting him into bed.

"Are you coming to bed with me tonight?"

"Later on, I just need some space," I sat on my couch and closed my eyes. Allowing myself to think of everything.

Of course Kendall's behavior at dinner and how he's been lately has been a mess. I know he's trying. I've got to give him points there.

But somehow in the middle of everything the thought of Taraji is keeping me alive. Whenever Kendall kisses me I think of Taraji's lips.

Whenever I'm stressing I think of what she'd do. What would she said to me. She always knows what to say.

I know I'm being indecisive and confusing. I don't blame her for finding a date. I wish I didn't see her with him. It's like me seeing Kendall with that white girl but worse. It twists something in my heart. And the worst thing is I can't do anything about it.

Who am I to make her be alone while I'm married? I won't talk to her about it or anyone for that matter.

I call Corey. He seems to be the only one I can vent to.

"Hey Corey,"

"Tasia is everything alright?"

"I can't just call?" I ask laughing

"Well of course not, we only call each other when somethings weighing heavy," he laughed as well. "So what happened tonight?"

"I'm still with Kendall,"

He snickered and I heard it through the phone. "Yeah I know but we went out to dinner and found some friends there and we had a double date kind of thing and he embarrassed me horribly Corey. He talking about our sex life the entire time, well after he started sipping,"

"I still say leave him girl. It sounds like he drains you,"

I nod my head as if he can see, "you the best homegirl I've had in a while," I laughed. He be fully engaged.

"I listen to anybody who needs to chat, I was just listening to Danielle talk about her mother,"

"How are you two by the way?"

"We're doing good Tasia. Thank you for giving me your advice,"

At least one of us is happy.
