"ma'am you have an interview in less than two hours. we should be getting you ready."

"no, i dont want you to go with me. i want taraji here."

"ma'am im the new assi–"

"i dont give a damn who you are. i just said i dont want you to go with me."

"tasia, she's just doing her job." tabitha spoke.

"who's side are you on?"

"the right side."

"my nerves are shot. i can't do this without her."

"shes an ex assistant. what's the difference between she and i?" alani asked.

"i barely know you."

"tasia, that's too mu– give us a second. will you please?"

"sure." alani left and tab turned her attention to me. 

"what is the problem?"

"i need taraji here."

ive come across the opportunity to be interviewed by wendy a million times and has never went. i dont know what she's gonna ask because everything about her is shady, and she doesn't care if she's embarrassing you she just wants the content. i just dont know if i am ready for the questions.

"this is her day off from work. she's relaxing with laila. she can't make it."

i sighed, realizing tab was right, "i sound selfish. im sorry. where's the makeup team?"

"glam room. derickus will be here in exactly twenty minutes."

"okay ill be down in five."

¤¤¤

i was currently on my way to the wendy williams show. my leg was bouncing up and down at full speed. alani kept trying to comfort me, but i wasn't here for it.

i kept checking my phone for a text or call– nothing. maybe she forgot that i told her about it. it probably wasn't important to her, and that's fine too. i can't make her remember anything.

arriving at the building, paparazzi and a few fans were already outside. i smiled at the sight. before i stepped out, my door was being opened by tab.

i chuckled, "what are you doing opening my door? you are not a bodyguard."

"oh, but i am. come on, lady."

"FANTASIA OVER HERE!"

"fantasia, how does it make you feel to know your own father sued you for millions of dollars?" i ignored them and that question.

"FANTASIA POSE!" however, i did pose.

"fantasia, over your shoulder, look back!" the photographer directed.

"TO YOUR LEFT!"

"IN THE MIDDLE!" the flashes from their cameras almost blinded me.

after the pictures, i went over to my supporters and signed shirts, boob's, vinyls, shoes, and even arms.

"i better not see this stuff on ebay." i joked, causing them to laugh.

"im framing this!"

"i love you, fantasia!"

"i love you guys more. see yall when i lea–" i cut myself off when i looked behind me and saw her stepping out of a black suv with flowers. she looked so good. i almost dropped to my knees and worshipped her. i was too stunned to even speak. she was beautiful

"surprise!" tab squealed approaching me.

"TAI TAI!" laila yelled. my baby.

"hey, oh my baby. im so happy to see you."

"im happy to see you too." just then, taraji approached me.

"when did y–"

"just now, hey beautiful." she pulled me into a hug. she even smelled as good as she looked my God.

"i dont think you understand how excited i am to see you guys. i needed you here."

"were here. im here. i wanted to surprise you, by the way. these are yours."

"they're beautiful, thank you."

"you're welcome. shall we?"

"we should."

she grabbed my hand and tab picked up laila, and we went inside. i heard all of the questions from paparazzi– taraji ignored them, and so did i.

we made it backstage into the waiting room. i couldn't wait to get my lips on her. as soon as everyone left out, i clung onto her.

"you're gonna get my lipstick on you, beautiful."

"its okay. im so happy to have you guys here."

"we had to come through and support you."

"thank you. you look so beautiful i cant–"

"thats all you, my love."

"mommy, there's candy. may i have one?"

"you feeling okay?"

"yes!"

"go ahead and take you one, baby."

"fantasia, you're on in five."

"thanks"

"tasia, look at me– you got this, baby. if you get nervous, just think about something that's makes you happy."

"you and laila make me happy."

"you make us happy." she kissed me, and suddenly, all my nerves went away, "we'll be back here watching and rooting for you. you got this, beautiful."

"thank you." i hugged her. i was so in the moment those three special words almost slipped out.

"you're welcome."

wendys crew came to escort me to the stage. taraji and i shared one last kiss before i left out.
