Consequences

Taraji couldn't sit in her home. The essence of Fantasia still lingered in the air. She headed to the campus gym. She walked into the gym and heard someone dribbling a ball.
"Sidra?"
Sidra dropped the ball.
"T, what are you doing here?"
She wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I was about to ask you the same question."
Sidra walked up to Taraji.
"I come here all the time, you know, just to practice."
"Well, aren't you dedicated."
"Everyone isn't a superstar like you. I have to work hard to even come close to being as good as you."
Sidra smiled.
"Man, you're great. Want a little one-on-one?"
"Only if you give it all you can. I want to go up against the Taraji everyone else has to face."
Taraji smiled. They began to play. Taraji took it easy on Sidra, knowing she couldn't handle her to the fullest extent. Sidra did her best to guard Taraji, but she failed on many attempts.
"Dammit, I suck!"
Sidra yelled as Taraji got past her to score.
Taraji held the ball.
"Don't say that. You don't suck."
"Shit. You have scored on me how many times?"
Sidra sat on the bleachers.

"Sidra, you are hella good. They wanted you in Spain, remember?"
"I want to be wanted in the States. I want to be in the WNBA. God, why can't I have your talent?"
Taraji didn't know what to say. She'd never thought about how good she was. It was mostly natural. She almost took it for granted.
"Sidra, you have to be the best you can be, not the best that I am. Hell, you think if I played against Sheryl Swoopes I would be good? Hell, no." -
"I bet you could give her a run for her money."
Sidra smiled.
"It's just that I want this so bad. Don't you want it just as bad?"
"Of course, I would love to play pro ball, but I didn't come to school thinking I was going to go pro. I just wanted to graduate and make my grandma proud." Thinking of her grandmother, Honey, was still very sore for Taraji.
"I just wanted her to see me graduate. Guess I was a year too late."
Sidra put her head on Taraji's knee.
"That's why I like you, T. You are so genuine. You don't run across girls like you."
"Well, thank you."
Taraji looked at Sidra. Their eyes locked. Sidra leaned in to Taraji. Taraji closed her eyes.
"Wait."
Taraji put her hands on Sidra's shoulders. She stood up.
"We can't do this, man."
"Why?"
Sidra asked.
"Sid, you are my teammate. We can't cross that line. Also I think that if I was to kiss you, the only reason I would be doing it is to get my mind off someone else."
"Monica?"
Sidra couldn't believe it would be her.

"Hell naw, not Monica. Someone else, someone I am still in love with."
The words hit Sidra hard, but she kept her cool.
"Well, thank you for stopping. I think I need to get home. You are a special woman, Taraji."
Sidra grabbed her things, determined to get out of the gym before Taraji could see how she really felt.
"Shit,"
Taraji whispered as the door closed.
"T, what the fuck is wrong with you?"
she said aloud.
"Nothing at all."
Taraji looked up when a familiar voice responded in the distance. She stood up when she saw Monica walk into the gym.
"Monica, don't-"
"T, hear me out first, OK?"
Monica said, walking toward Taraji.
"I was leaving the computer lab and noticed your car outside. I just wanted to apologize for everything. I don't know what was wrong with me. You are just the most wonderful woman I have ever been with. I let my own insecurities mess it up with you."
"Yeah, you did. Well, I accept your apology."
"T."
Monica grabbed Taraji's hand.
"Can you find it in your heart to forgive me? We work so well together, don't you think?"
"Monica, we really don't. Besides, I should've never gotten with you to begin with. I have a goal, and women aren't a part of it right now."
"T, I don't want to mess up your plans. I just want to be a part of your life, enhance your life, help you meet your goals."
Monica's eyes were filled with tears. For the first time Taraji could see the sincerity in Monica's face. It's better to be with someone than no one, Taraji thought to herself.
"Monica, if you flip out on me one time, I am through with you for good."
Monica wrapped her arms around Taraji and planted a sensual kiss on her. Taraji tried to enjoy it, but it didn't compare to the lips of yesterday.

Kendall and Fantasia settled into their room at the Madison Hotel. Fantasia changed into an outfit that would definitely send Kendall into a frenzy. She walked out of the bathroom wearing a peach corset with no panties. Her vagina was freshly waxed into a landing strip. She had on peach thigh-highs and high heels.
"Hello, Mr. Taylor, are you ready for your wife?"
she purred seductively.
"I have been ready for you, Mrs. Taylor. Now come over to this bed and let's consummate our marriage."
Fantasia walked slowly to the bed and crawled over to Kendall. Soft music filled the beautiful suite. Kendall made a mental note to thank his assistant for making the perfect romantic playlist to play for their special night. Kendall grabbed Fantasia and picked her up, placing her on his face. Fantasia rode Kendall's face, making sure he got a taste of all her sweetness. She closed her eyes and listened to the music play, trying to completely get into the mood.
Janet Jackson's sensual "Would You Mind" began to play. Fantasia's mind drifted to the night before. She began to grind her body against Kendall's tongue. She was no longer in her honeymoon suite. Her mind was back in Taraji's bed. She really didn't care if Kendall never gave her oral sex ever again. She had better, and now his didn't compare anymore. She slid down off of his face and placed herself on his rock-hard manhood. Taraji was the pro at giving head, but Kendall would always be the best at waxing her with the dick. If only Kendall was blessed with the
skills to make her cum just by tasting her like Taraji was. Fantasia snapped back to reality. She couldn't be thinking about Taraji on her wedding night. It was all about her and Kendall. She focused on him for the rest of the evening as they sexed each other in nearly every position all night long.

Fantasia laid in the bed with her eyes open. She thought about her beautiful wedding. She knew it was going to make it into the INstyle weddings issue. She hoped too many people didn't catch wind of what happened with that girl.
"Kendall."
"Yeah?"
Kendall responded, obviously groggy from her waking him up.
"What was the deal with that girl? Is there anything that you're hiding from me?"
Fantasia asked. She knew that there was a possibility that Kendall had been messing with groupies. She hoped that he wouldn't, but she knew there was always a big chance that he would. Kendall sat up and looked at Fantasia.
"Honestly, baby, I don't know who that girl was. Peaches said that the girl had been trying to meet me for a while 'cause she wanted to marry me, but I had never seen her before,"
Kendall said.
"The funny thing is that the girl came up to me earlier this week."
Kendall's eyes popped.
"You mean that she had contact with you? What did she say?"
Kendall got up out of the bed.
"Nothing, baby, she was just asking if I was the one marrying you. Zaria and Armani were with me, so 1 guess she knew that if she tried something that all hell was going to break loose."

"That's not cool. That is not cool at all. I will handle this. From now on I want you to have a bodyguard, and I will get Peaches to get a restraining order against that psycho,"
Kendall said as he paced back and forth.
"Kendall, I don't want some bodyguard following me around campus."
"Baby, I don't think you should go to campus anymore."
Fantasia jumped out of the bed.
"What do you mean? I told you before that I was not quitting school!"
"Fantasia, I am not telling you to quit school. I think that you should tele-course and Internet it this semester. We don't know anything about this girl, and I don't want her trying to do anything to you."
Fantasia looked at Kendall. She could tell he was really worried about her.
"All right, I will do Internet classes for the spring semester. But, Kendall, get things together 'cause I want to go to summer school, and I will have to take classes on campus next year."
Fantasia walked up to Kendall and put her arms around him.
"I love you, papi."
"I love you, Mrs. Taylor. Now, let me get my baby back into the bed."
Kendall picked up Fantasia and placed her into the bed.
