I'm sitting in the luxury bathroom of my hotel room in LA. I've been scrambling for hours trying to find something sexy but casual for tonight's dinner. Miss Oprah sent out a text saying that she wants the cast to meet at208 Rodeo tonight at seven.
I'm not really nervous anymore because I've been through this 1000 times. I'm excited to see who I'll be working with.

I settle for a sexy, tan dress with a slit down the middle, and a little at the bottom, with rhinestone designs on the side. Paired with a pair of gold strap heels.
Hopefully, it's not too much since we're just going to dinner. After I finish touching up the roots of my hair, I head down to the car that my assistant Laddo sent for me.
Once I made it to the restaurant, Ms. Oprah immediately greeted me. "Taraji! It's so wonderful to see you! And might I say you look stunning, darling" Ms.Oprah said with the brightest smile on her face.
"You look striking yourself, Ms.O! What a pleasure to be here with you. It's been a while." I said returning the gesture. I continue to make my rounds talking to the cast. Let me just say this is going to be a great experience. I look over to the bar to see what it looks like, Danielle Brooks and Fantasia getting to know each other over some drinks.
I walk over and greet them both. "Hello ladies, what a pleasure to finally meet you two!" "Omg, Taraji!! I'm sorry but I'm a huge fan of your work. I can't wait to work with you." I could tell that Danielle was trying not to fangirl too hard, and Fantasia on the other hand sat there like she saw a ghost.
I talked to Danielle for a second. I can tell I'm going to have a blast with her. " Taraji we've already took a couple shots, we gotta catch you up bitchhhh" she said slightly twerking in her seat. I couldn't help but to laugh. " Uh Oh now. I guess I do got some catching up to do." "Two shots of Casimigos for her please" Dani said to the bartender. This girl is crazy.
I look back over to Fantasia and shes still with the same face she had when I first walked up. She looks so good. Her chocolate skin, her outfit exposed all of her tattoos.
"Well hello Fantasia" I said with a laugh escaping the back of my throat. "Calm down baby, I don't bite.." I whispered in her ear. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
"I'm so sorry, Taraji. Where is my manners?" she said as she reached out my hand to shake it. "I love your music, baby. I don't know how I'm going to sing next to you". " Thank you, you're gonna be fine. I'll be right here with you" she said as she finally relaxed.
After conversing with the two ladies for a while, our table was finally ready. I'm starting to feel those shots already.
Me and Danielle sat on the each side of Fantasia. Our director, Blitz stood up to make an announcement. "I just want to say thank you for being here tonight, and I know that this is going to be a wonderful experience with you gu-" "THANK YOU FOR HANDPICKING US" Danielle abruptly interrupted. Tasia and I tried so hard to swallow our laughter, while everyone else looked at Danielle because she scared the shit out of them. Those shots were most definitely in her system.
"Thank you Danielle" Blitz laughed," As I was saying, this is going to be a great experience, I picked you guys because I see the most potential in each and every last of you. You have something that you can bring to the table to make this movie happen." Blitz continued. Everyone clapped and continued to get to know one another until the waitress came.
I look over at Fantasia to see she wasn't really interacting. It looks like she was texting, going off someone. I hope everything is alright with her.
" Hey Tasia, are you alright? You haven't really said a word to anyone" I asked as I placed my hand on her thigh.
"Yea Im fine, just a little tired."
I could tell she was lying because of the tears in her eyes. She excused herself from the table. —————————————————————————— ————————————-
