Friends or Lovers?

5

Fantasia and Taraji's new budding romance quickly grew over the last couple months.

They went on many dates that were disguised as "friendly hang outs."

The only person who knew what was really going on, was Danielle.

Surprisingly, Fantasia was doing a great job at living this double life, but eventually it will start to catch up to her.

This weekend Kendall was going out of town for work, so that meant her and Taraji could have all the fun they wanted, freely.

"So, why did you want me to come over again?" Taraji asked for the tenth time.

"I told you why already." Fantasia rolled her eyes, carrying Taraji's bags into the house.

"Yeah, and I'm still confused. It's always my place, what's changed? You better not be playing with me either."

"Nothing's changed alright? We're supposed to be having a stress free weekend, which means no arguing."

"Alright, fine." Taraji gave a fake smile, as she tried to walk away but Fantasia grabbed her arm, turning her around.

"No, you're mad."

"I'm not mad Fantasia."

"Yes, you are."

Taraji rolled her eyes, not in the mood for Fantasia's games.

Fantasia smirked, pulling Taraji's face closer to hers.

"I love you."

"Mhm."

"Say it back." Fantasia let her hands roam down Taraji's body, she loved teasing her.

"I love you too." Taraji slightly moaned, giving into Fantasia's touch.

"Thank you."

Fantasia pecked Taraji's lips before walking away, satisfied with her antics.

As the night went on, Taraji and Fantasia were having a good time just being in each other's presence.

Taraji was definitely the clingy type, so she enjoyed being around Fantasia as much as she could.

"You know, I really thought you were trying to hide something from me." Taraji spoke seriously, as she looked over at Fantasia.

"Why would you think that?" Fantasia furrowed her eyebrows, tonight was not the night to reveal her heavy secret.

"Well, If I'm being honest. I still had my doubts about us. I thought you'd get tired of this, and run back to that man. I had my guard up all the time, but tonight. You proved me wrong, so thank you for that."

Fantasia smiled, but guilt filled her head. This whole lying thing was starting to weigh down on her, and she didn't know how much longer she would last. All she knew was that she needed to get rid of Kendall, asap.

Sunday was here, and Tasia and Taraji's weekend had come to an end. Taraji did not want to leave, but she understood that everyone needs space sometimes, even if she didn't.

Fantasia wanted Taraji to stay longer, but Kendall was coming back today, and she didn't need them running into each other, that wouldn't end well for anyone.

I miss you.

Fantasia's phone lit up from the text notification.

It's been 5 minutes.

Fantasia responded, chuckling to herself.

5 minutes or 5 hours, I don't care. I need to be around you at all times.
