After showering, getting tipsy off way more lemon drops than we needed, and stuffing our faces with slutty brownies, me and Fantasia both decided to call it a night and go to bed. However, I couldn't sleep, at least not peacefully anyway. My mind was plagued with too many thoughts for me to separate one from the other, so they all just blended into one big ball of chaotic thoughts. Earlier tonight while we were enjoying our drinks and dessert, I noticed that Fantasia was heavily engrossed in her phone, and she's usually not like that when we're spending time together, no matter what we're doing. I always have her undivided attention, but this time was different. Her face was stuck in her phone and she was texting back and forth with someone. I could tell by the way both of her thumbs were flying across the screen and she was smiling at her phone like an idiot. Did she meet someone? Surely she would tell me if she met someone. She tells me everything. She would definitely tell me this. If that's what's happening, then that would be a big thing for her. I've never heard Tasia express interest in anybody romantically. She's never gone out on a date or brought anyone over to spend the night. Maybe she's just trying to focus solely on her career. Maybe she's healing from a past relationship that ended on a bad note. Maybe we're just not as close as I thought, and she doesn't want to talk to me about her love life or lack-thereof. My mind bounced from Fantasia to Aubrey, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep.
I got up out of bed, putting a robe on to cover myself against the cold air as I was only wearing a bra and panties- my usual attire for sleeping. I shuffled across the hall to Fantasia's room. I softly rapped on the door, not really waiting for an answer before I opened the door slightly, popping my head in the crack. Her face was illuminated by blue light from her phone, and she was laughing and biting her lip while staring at the screen. I don't know why, but I was feeling something akin to jealousy, and I didn't even know what I was jealous of.
Taraji:*whispers* Tasia?
Fantasia: Yes? What's up, Raji?
She put her phone down as she looked up at me. I thought that it was weird, like she was trying to hide something, but I wasn't going to press such a small issue. I just want to feel close to her right now, and questioning her over something so ridiculous would probably make her want to pull away from me. I walked further into her room, stopping at the threshold between the door and her bed.
Taraji: Can I sleep with you tonight? I'm afraid that I'm gonna have a bad dream.
Fantasia: You're scared of a nightmare that you haven't had yet?
Taraji: I just have a lot on my mind. I need to feel calm so I can sleep, and you make me feel calm.
