Never Too Busy (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7:

And all hell broke lose...
Taraji was enjoying herself, dancing on the couch with Gabby and takin shots with Lala. She felt someone grab a hold of her hand, she turned around and faced Matt Barnes. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She looked back and Gabby & Lala confused, they were just as lost as she was, they just shrugged their shoulders as a response and kept dancing. "I swear y'all no help!" She turned back around to face Matt and said "Sure." He helped her down off the couch and they walked over to a more secluded area. "So wassup?" She asked jumping straight to the point. "Well first I'd just wanna tell you I love what you're doing on empire. You really doing your thing right now." "Why thank you." "But other than that I've been watching you the whole night. And I honestly was hoping I could take you to lunch or something when we get back to LA." "I'm not tryna sound rude or anything but what's the reason behind all of this?" He chuckled, "I see you like to get straight to the point but I'm just tryna get to know you, cause I think you something different."
"I'm flattered Matt, I really am but-"
"Lunch won't hurt, come on don't make me beg."
"Alright fine," she said as they exchanged numbers.
"Lemme buy you a drink" Matt offered.
"Oh you know the way to my heart" she said jokingly.

Taraji's POV
We walked out of the sectioned off area and back into the club. Now the crowd was even crazier! We were on the floor with the 'regular people' then it finally hit me, we walked out the wrong way. "Matt we came out the wrong way lets go back." We turned around to start back and immediately, somebody recognized us and a crowd started forming. He whispered in my ear, "stay close to me." "Okay" I said.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and brought me closer to him as we tried to make our way through the crowd. All I heard was yelling and it was really killing my buzz. "Cookie!, Take us to Championship this year Matt!, Hey Yvette!" Random people shouted then cameras started flashing "ah shit" I thought to myself. "Can I get a picture please?" This one girl asked drunkly from over couch. I can never say no to my fans they're like family to me. I bent over the couch and snapped a picture with the girl. I turned and caught Matt staring at me. "What?" I asked. "Nothing you just gorgeous that's all." I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the staircase leading to VIP. "MOVE OUT THE WAY! MAKE WAY!" The club bouncer showed up to help us get through the crowd. We were really causing a scene.😩

Tyrese's POV
We all dancing and having a good time till we hear a lot of commotion come from downstairs. Everybody runs to look over the balcony to see what's happening. As I'm looking at the crowd I see two big bald guys I'm guessing they're bouncers making an opening and then I see this tall yellow guy. "Hey that looks like my boy Matt!" Kevin said drunkly as he stood on the couch. As they got closer I strained my eyes to see. "That is Matt! And he with Taraji!" Dewanye yelled. "What the hell was she doing with that nigga?" I was heated.
They finally made it upstairs and I watched them. I watched her smile in his face and sit there and flirt with him. And I couldn't take it anymore. I walked up to them and grabbed her arm "we need to talk."
