Taraji

I can't get caught up with Fantasia. If there is any possibility that Colton could turn up, Fantasia would probably drop everything to be with him. Until she calls it a final quits, we are remaining close friends.

I sorted and folded all of the clothes I hadn't finished doing to set myself up for a clear and clean week. I called Fantasia last night to let her know that I was back at my villa, but she didn't answer. She texted me an apology and a goodnight.

Today I don't want to cuddle or touch on her, I just want her to free her mind. I braided my hair in two and pinned it around my head. Picking up my phone, I called Fantasia. I waited for an answer until her phone went to voicemail. Before I could try again, she called me.

"Hey Taraji!" Her voice was vibrant, excusing the hints of sleep, and full of joy.

"Hey?" I said slightly confused. "You alright?"

"I'm great. I'll be ready to go in about 40 if that's okay. And before we go, I have somebody I want you to meet!"

"Good, okay I'll get myself ready, see you in a little, ma."

I finished the last of my cleaning and got myself ready in the bathroom. I put black spandex shorts with a cropped long sleeve shirt. The only socks I could find to wear were ice cream cone crew socks.

I grabbed my phone, keys, and AirPods. I called Tasia to let her know I was on the way to her. When I got the her villa, I saw her standing outside with a man. She smiled big and looked over to the man. "Taraji, this is my older brother Ricco. Ricco, Taraji."

"Nice to meet you, Ricco." I smiled and reached to shake his hand.

"It is very nice to meet you, miss Taraji." The eyes he gave me with that statement took me completely by surprise. I looked over to Fantasia, who cut her eyes at her brother. I suppressed my laugh and continued conversing with him.

"I didn't know your brother was coming, Tasia."

"She didn't either. I made a plan to come out a few days ago. I just got in yesterday, I wanted to surprise her."

"How'd you know where she's staying?"

"She gave me the location the day she arrived. She wanted me to have it in case anything happened."

"That's amazing that you came to surprise her."

"It is, isn't it." Fantasia's tone was blunt and unamused. "Ricco," she cut in, "Taraji and I have to go do a few things, then I'll be back. I'll text you when we get back."
