"Fuck fuck fuck!" Taraji yells frustrated at the fact that she couldn't find an outfit for the night. "Oh my God where the hell are all my clothes at?!"

The actress had plenty of options to choose from between her closet and drawers but nothing seemed to catch her eye.

Tonight, Oprah invited the whole cast to dinner over at her place and she even sent a limo to come scoop up the leads. Taraji had right at an hour to be ready and she still needed to shower, put on makeup, and do something to her hair.

"I'm actually going to kill myself." She mumbles into her hands as her phone begins to ring. Walking out of her closet she quickly grabbed her phone from the charger and answers the FaceTime.

"Tarajiiii!!" Danielle sings once the call connects. "Heyy my girl!"

"Hey boo." She sighs

"Aht I don't like that energy. What's the matter with you?"

"I can't find anything to freaking wear and I still have to get in the shower." She stresses

"That's actually why I called you because I wanted to see what you were wearing to try and match you but clearly..." Taraji cuts her eyes at her and Danielle laughs "What were you thinking about putting on?"

"I'm not in the mood to wear a dress but I don't want to show up looking like I didn't get the memo. Knowing Blitz and Oprah they're going to want to take pictures."

Danielle nods and sets her phone up as she searches through her luggage. "I think I'll throw on this black strapless dress and dress it down with my white converse."

"Girl you love them little ole ugly ass converse shoes." Taraji laughs as she eyes a nude dress "Ugh I guess I'll wear a dress tonight, when is the limo coming to you?"

Danielle picks her phone up and checks her messages "After Colman. Looks like you and Tasia are first on the list."

"Oh fun" She smiles "You know now that I think about it.. I don't think we've spoken yet."

"Oh really? Not even at the table read last week?"

Taraji shakes her head picking up a pair of heels and carrying everything over to her bed. "We acknowledged each other but remember I came in after y'all had already started."

"Late ass, but y'all are going to have a blast with each other. She's so sweet and laid back."

"So I've heard. I just hope I don't freak her out. You know my personality is big and I love to talk and have a good time."

Danielle laughs with a nod "Trust me you're fine, don't let her quietness fool you now. But alright sis imma let you go so you can finish getting ready. I love you!"

"Love you baby see you in a little bit." Taraji blows a kiss to the camera before hanging up and running into her bathroom to turn her shower on. She began stripping her clothes off and throwing them every which way. "Alexa shuffle my getting ready playlist."

By the fourth song Taraji was out of the shower standing naked in her mirror. She just finished moisturizing all over and was now doing her makeup. She was wasn't doing a lot just enough to look put together.

After rubbing in her nude lipstick she made smiled and winked at herself. Cutting the bathroom light off she went over to her bed and turned her phone on for the time.
"Oh damn I gotta go."
