Today was the day of my interview with Jennifer and to say I was nervous was an understatement, but Tasia was coming so that calmed me a lot. We were in our hotel room. I was sitting on our bed and she was seated in a chair in front of me and for some dumb ass reason, my nerves were so bad it was hard to get my answers out.
"Baby don't worry let's try this again, short and sweet is the goal. Try not to go into too much detail you won't really need to."
"What if I get questions that have long-ass answers?"
"Make them short Mama." Only my friends knew about my illness, none of hers did and I didn't want Jennifer to find out because I can't hold a damn conversation properly.
"Talking about the center is a loaded answer. I'm so proud of it I have so much to say."
"I know baby but short and sweet is the goal." I sighed. "When she asks about the center just tell her that we offer many services, therapy, tutoring, we do arts, music and it's family owned so our kids work as well."
"Okay."
"If she asks about returning to the movie scene just let her know that you are focusing on family and your business right now, we work every day except Sundays so you are always tied up."
"Okay."
"Don't stress about this, it's just your nerves Mama. You should take a nap, then we'll go get something to eat before going to set." I nodded and stood up from the bed, I went to get in on the right side and covered myself up. Tasia got in behind me and I turned around to face her. She kissed my forehead and pulled me close. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to relax and I was soon asleep.
I woke up at 11 am and it was time for me to get up and start getting ready for my interview. I got up and headed to the bathroom where I saw Tasia wrapped up in a towel I walked in and kissed her cheek, she turned to face me and puckered her lips for a kiss which I happily granted. I smiled and pecked her lips two more times, she started brushing her teeth and I stripped out of the clothing I wore on the plane and got into the shower.
"Baby, what do you want to eat I'm starving?"
"Stop saying you're starving like I don't feed you."
"I could eat something else, that'll curve my appetite."
"Ooh, you are so nasty."
"You like it." The door to the shower opened and her eyes raked over my naked body.
"I love it."
"I wish you would've waited for me, we could've showered together."
"We have time for that when we get back." She started to close the door and I stopped her.
