I was starting to wonder if I was making myself a little too obvious.
Dani and Corey had been making little sly jokes and comments recently and it genuinely made me feel like they saw through to the crush I had on Raji.
God that would be so embarrassing
I knew I had a habit of staring at her and being touchy but I honestly couldn't help it. It just seemed to happen so naturally and that scared me so much.
I had already tried to take a step back when it came to Taraji and I's friendship but that didn't even last a day.
As she called herself confronting me. And all that did was make my fondness for and desire to be around her grow.
The fact that she immediately picked up on my switch during the interview?
Not only was I questioning if the rest of the cast caught on to my crush, but I wondered if the very woman did too and whether or not she felt the same.
The way her gorgeous face had morphed after I kissed her sent me into a spiral. Wondering if my daydreams and romanticism of our "friendship" was reciprocated.
We had pecked lips damn near a million times before for the movie. But I'd be a fool to think that one wasn't different.
Taraji did end up staying in my room for a while. Giving me the details of what happened after I left. She told me about the bar they dined at and let it be known I had no choice but to go with her before we left to go to the next destination for the press runs.
We spoke about every and anything under the sun. It seemed as if nothing was off limits between us. We had both shared our aspirations - industry and personal wise - and what seemed to be our deepest fears, regrets, etc.
We didn't end up going to sleep until the early hours of the morning. That however, was after she left my room and we got on the phone for an hour before ultimately falling asleep.
A couple months had passed since that whole situation. The cast had been given a break before we had to travel back and forth again to finish up our press tour.
I wasn't exactly sure what everyone else got up to but I had spent that time finishing out my summer tour.
Any little break I got in between that and the remainder of the press tour - even if it was only a day or two - I used as down time with my kids. They came to visit me occasionally while I toured but it was nothing like waking up in your own home, in your own bed with your children.
It was currently 7:40am and I had quite a day ahead of me. The cast was traveling to LA to be present for the first showing of the movie. This was going to be our last official event before the actual premiere and of course award show attendances.
