Poetic justice

Taraji's POV:

After about 2 hours Juluis pulled up with my things.

I was annoyed and upset. More upset with myself than him.

How could I be that stupid.

And what really threw me for a loop, was when Ms. Jackson said she wanted me to be her girlfriend.

Not to mention that the contract I signed was for 8 years.

AIN'T NOBODY TOLD ME NOTHING.

"Here you go my love." He said handing me my bags.

Don't my love me.

"Why what's wrong?"

Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?

"Because I don't? I didn't know I had one either."

Juluis don't be stupid.

"I'm not being stupid, I'm being dead serious T."

So then why did Ms. Jackson tell me otherwise?

"How would she know to tell you otherwise? I don't tell her about my personal life."

"I've been single since I had this job."

Well somebody's lying.

"It ain't me the hell."

So then why're you getting so defensive about it?

"I'm not, I just don't know why she'd imply that."

Well I don't think she'd imply it just to be saying it.

"So you think I just used you."

Damn right.

"Well I didn't plan for that to happen, and I wasn't trying to use you if that's how you feel."

Yeah yeah, I heard it all before.

"Well I'm not like other guys before. I'm me."

Cookie?

"Chocolate chip thanks."

I rolled my eyes.

"Look T I'm really trying here. She probably just told you that so we'd stop seeing each other."

"How'd she know we you know."

I told her.

"WHY?"

I DON'T KNOW I JUST DID.

"I thought I made it clear to you two, to stay from around each other." Ms Jackson said walking in.

"You did, but we- I have a question." Juluis said.

"What's your question?" She asked.

"Why'd you tell Taraji I had a girlfriend when I don't."

"Well simply because you do. But if you'd like to lie I can't help you." She said.

"But I don't, and you know that. If you don't want us to be together that's all you had to say."

"Well you said it I didn't." She said.

So you lied? I asked

"Did I say that?" She said.

"Well you didn't not say it." J said.

"Whether I said it or not, you alls contract remains the same. So if you continue to "date." Or whatever you call it, Juluis you're gonna be fired."

"What about her?" He said.
