I was super excited my 18th birthday today! For one im an adult! And I can finally have fantasia! "happy birthday ms.taraji, your breakfast is downstairs along with your parents"
My eye twitched "my mother here?" I asked, she nodded and I laughed "yeah right, she left ten years ago, she wouldn't dare come back—" my mother was here. I saw her over the staircase.
Fantasia was eyeing the fuck out of her. I never told Fantasia about my mom but looks like she's finding out for herself, I groaned and went to get dressed. "Don't let her ruin your birthday raj," my maid said
"way to late." I slipped into my birthday robe with my fuzzy slippers, I walked down stairs, happy birthday song blasted from the speakers as my daddy sung, I smiled,
"Happy birthday my beloved daughter," my dad said tears filling his eyes "such a softie," I said softly, hugging him tight he chuckled, pulling me back I wiped his tears "im still here daddy," I said laughing
"But your 18, it's going way to fast." He said, I laughed "im not going anywhere daddy," I said, "well what about me?" I glared at my mother "what about you?"
I walked past her and hugged fantasia who handed me flowers "thanks," i whispered, "your welcome mamas" she whispered in my ear, I smiled pulling back looking at my mama. "Your mad aren't you?" She asked
"nope." We all walked to the kitchen, "I am not mad." I saw the entire breakfast spread when the door bell rung "BESTIEEEEE!" I ran to the door and hugged Joey hard "what's up raj,"
He held me to long for tasia, she cleared her throat and I smiled, he handed me flowers and a card "come on," I took his hand and walked him to the kitchen, everyone had a plate of breakfast
I went back to my room, started getting ready for my birthday when the wicked bitch of the west came in, "butterfly—" - "you lost that privilege." I said eyeing her
"Taraji... please talk to me." I rolled my eyes and continued to fix my hair to go to the salon "I have nothing to say to you." I said, "well can you listen?" She asked
"go ahead. I've waited ten years to hear this sorry ass excuse." She swallowed hard and fidgeted with her hands "listen but— taraji. I-i was going through a lot of things at the moment, forgetting that my child comes first before anything. I was getting drunk and hooked on alcohol and pills, your father said I had to straighten up or he'd leave me, so I sent myself to a center. Taraji I got clean, I was okay, but it had already been 4 years, so I decided to divorce your father and work, I built my own business and I got so carried away in my life, forgetting the goal to become a better mother for you..."
I couldn't deal with her on my birthday just not today. "Fantasia!?" I yelled, she came in a flash "yes mamas?" - "get her out please, I can't deal with her." Fantasia stood in front of my mother "hard or easy?" She asked my mom, she just walked out "easy it is,"
