11: Reunion

Taraji hated reunions of any kind. She wasn't exactly antisocial, but she didn't enjoy interacting with others much. It was exhausting to keep putting on a fake smile. She didn't need people asking her how life was treating her when she knew they didn't really care. So when she first received the invitation to attend her high school reunion a few weeks back, she tossed it aside with a mental note to send back the small 'Will Not Attend' card when she got a chance. Her best friend Terrence had other plans, though.

High school had been fun, but Taraji didn't need or want to relive that time period of her life. But here she was, at her ten-year high school reunion, trying her best to keep to herself—to remain inconspicuous. Her eyes traveled around the room, taking in everything and everybody. She only wanted to see one person, though, and she easily spotted her forever crush in a room full of people. It annoyed Taraji when she noticed all the hot, hungry stares that followed the other woman.

After ten years, Fantasia was still breathtakingly beautiful, even more so than back in the day. Taraji couldn't blame other people for staring. She sighed. Her crush on Fantasia never went away and probably never would. She watched the woman mingle with other people from their class. "Go say hi, idiot." Terrence said, bumping his shoulder against hers. He was the only person Taraji had ever told about her crush on Fantasia. He was her best friend. People always assumed they were fuckin', but they never crossed that line. They were more like siblings, if anything.

"She's busy. Maybe later," Taraji said and walked over to get a cup of punch. Terrence just shook his head and went to find more of his high school football teammates so they could reminisce about their glory days. He knew Taraji would just stay in her own little bubble. Terrence had begged his friend to attend their reunion with him until she caved. She never could say no to him, and that was annoying as fuck. It didn't help that he had sent back the card from her invitation with 'Will Attend' checked.

Taraji reached for the ladle to fix herself some punch just as someone else did the same. Their hands touched, and Taraji felt a spark that gave her goosebumps. "Sorry, you go first," she said as she peered up at the person. Her breath caught in her throat. It was the woman who had been the object of her affection for a very long time. "Taraji P. Henson, aren't you a sight for sore eyes? Stunning." Fantasia said while looking Taraji up and down. She bit her bottom lip and then moved her eyes back up to Taraji's face.

Taraji couldn't find her voice. Having Fantasia in such close proximity to her had her flustered and nervous. Fantasia touched Taraji's arm gently, trying to grab her attention. Taraji finally snapped out of her stupor and gazed into Fantasia's eyes. She was instantly entranced, and her heart was suddenly racing. How can she still have this effect on me? It's been ten years.

"Are you okay?" Fantasia asked. The thoughtful yet concerned look on her face only increased Taraji's rapidly beating heart. "Yeah, sorry. You look beautiful. And this dress!" Taraji licked her lips instinctively as she ogled the other woman openly. Fantasia's dress looked like it had been painted on. And those curves. Taraji couldn't take her eyes off Fantasia's body. She knew she was probably looking like a creep, or at least like the horndog males from their class, but she couldn't help it. She finally looked back up to Fantasia's face and found a smirk plastered across her lips.

Fantasia pulled Taraji in for a hug. They weren't really friends in high school, but they got along. Taraji hung around mostly guys back then. She was a bit of a tomboy. Well, she was an athlete, and playing against the guys made her better. She had brought home three basketball championships for her high school and was the MVP for each one. Taraji melted into the embrace that Fantasia had initiated. She smells delightful. Taraji fought to keep her hands from sliding down to Fantasia's ass.
