Friends or Lovers?

6

For 4 months Taraji and Fantasia had been sneaking around.

Well Fantasia was doing more of the sneaking, and it was really starting to get to her. Luckily, Kendall had been going out of town for work a lot, so it made things easier for Fantasia, or so she thought.

Taraji thought that Fantasia was lying to her, but she prayed she wasn't.

She hated liars.

Fantasia had lied to her once already and that didn't end well for them. Taraji still didn't trust her fully either, but she had faith; faith that she had changed.

Taraji sat at the restaurant for 30 minutes, growing angry. Her and Fantasia were supposed to meet today, but it seems that she had forgotten.

She eventually called Fantasia, hoping she had a food explanation.

"Tasia." Taraji spoke softly into the phone.

"Raji."

"Where are you?"

Shit Fantasia thought to herself. She forgot that she was supposed to meet Taraji for lunch.

"I'm so sorry, it totally slipped my mind that we had plans today. I've been sick all day, so I'll have to take a rain check.

"How about I come over and help you feel better." Taraji smiled to herself.

"No, it's okay. I think I'm just going to sleep it off."

"Oh.. Okay."

"Yeah, I'll talk to you later."

Fantasia quickly hung up the phone which confused Taraji. She was acting weird again, and she needed to figure out why.

Fantasia on the other hand had her husband breathing down her neck. He had taken off of work for the past few days to be with her, and she hated it. She would much rather have Taraji here bothering her.

"Baby, who was that on the phone?"

"It was just Taraji." Fantasia said, rolling her eyes.

"Of course it was."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I just feel like you guys spend a lot of time together, more than us. I barely see you Tasia, and don't blame it on my job because that's not the problem. I don't control you or anything, but I think you guys should cut back. I'd like to spend some time with my wife." Kendall spoke calmly. He didn't want to seem controlling, but he felt that he had a right to express his feelings.

Fantasia looked at her husband guilty.

Just tell him the truth. She thought to herself.

"Ken.." She started, but she couldn't do it. She couldn't tell him the truth, "I understand where you're coming from. I'll talk to her about that, okay?"

"Okay, thank you." Kendall smiled, kissing Fantasia on her forehead, "how are you feeling now?"

"I feel a lot better, I'm just tired."

"Well, you should rest then."

Fantasia nodded her head slowly, laying back on her pillow.

"I'm going to run a few errands. Call me if you need anything."

"I will."

Kendall left and Fantasia was fast asleep, but was woken up by the doorbell.

"Who the hell?" She muttered to herself as she got up.

As she opened the door, Taraji rushed in. "Where is he?"

"Where is who? And hello." Fantasia was extremely confused.
