Chapter 22

Taraji -

"Mary I don't know what's going on, it's like we move two steps forward and six steps back," I said as I rocked and fed Shayla. Mary was feeding Marcel. "Girl you might need to check that Norma bitch, just cause she married don't mean shit, and on top of that you need to tell Tyrese how you feel, don't sugar code shit," Mary said.

"Ugh, girl I know, I just don't know," I said. Just as Mary was about to say something the door bell rung. I walked over to the door and it was Adam. "Hey," I said surprised. "Hey, how are you?" He asked. "I'm good, what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing you left your bracelet, and I'm not going to be at next weeks taping so I wanted to make sure you had it," he said. "Alright thank you," I said. Just as I was about to show him out, Tyrese walked through the door.

"Hey baby," I said. "Sup," he said as he looked from me to Adam. "Alright Taraji see you later," he said. "Thanks for bringing me my bracelet," I said. He nodded and walked away. Tyrese looked at me, closed the door, and walked up stairs. I went in the living room and Mary was shaking her head at me. "T Ty is gone kill you," she said. "I know," I said. "Girl, I gotta go pick up the kids, ill call you when I get home okay," she said as she placed a sleeping Marcel in his swing. She gave him a kiss, then she gave Shayla a kiss and left.

Just as I placed Shayla in her swing, Ty was coming down stairs. I looked at him but he didn't even look my way. "Tyrese, your not going to say anything?" He asked. "I have nothing to say?" He said. "Baby, what are we doing? I hate arguing and going back to forth," I said. "Ain't nobody going back and forth T," he said as he sat down in the chair. I walked over to him and straddled his lap. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I pecked his lips. "Do you trust me baby, be honest," I said.

He took a deep breath and stared deep into my eyes. "Yes I trust you baby, it's them niggas that I don't trust, I mean I'm a man, so I know how these niggas do," he said. "And I'm a woman, I know how these bitches do," I said. "Okay baby, I'm sorry damn, you need to trust me I ain't on that shit okay, I told you I'm not trying to loose you baby," he said as he rubbed my back.

"Okay baby I hear you," I said as I caressed his head. "You believe me or nah?" He asked. "Yes I believe you daddy," I said as I pecked his lips. I kissed him a few more times giving him a little tongue action. "Baby come cuddle with me on the couch," I whined. "Iight baby," he said. We went over and cuddled up on the couch. He grabbed the remote and started flipping through channels as I nibbled on his ear. He turned to BET and they were playing his "Stay" video. "Awe look at us baby," I smiled. "Ikr," he said. "We the shit, Jay Z and Beyonce who?" I said as we both laughed. "You was looking sexy baby I swear you was," I said I as eh I put my thumb In my mouth. "Thank you batby," he said as he kissed my neck. "T can I ask you something?" He said as he turned the TV off.

"Yes baby of course," I said as I turned around. "Are you in love with me?" He asked. "Tyrese I should fucking slap you baby, that's a dumb ass question babe. I have loved you since we were kids. I played hard to get in high school, but I love you so much, I can't wait until my name changes to Taraji P. Henson- Gibson, I love you so you so much Tyrese, your the only man I love," I said. "I'm sorry baby, I just love to hear you say it," he said as he gave me peck on the lips.

"Mmh, come here," I said as I laid down on my back. He got on top of me and just as he was about to pull my panties down Marcel started crying. I couldn't help but laugh. "Celly said you can't get nun of mommy's cookies," I said making him laugh.

"Man me and Marcel gone fight," Tyrese said as he grabbed him out of his swing. I gave him a bottle and watched as he fed him and burped him. "Baby, your an amazing father," I said as I rubbed his head. "Thanks baby," he smiled. He put Marcel back in his crib, and then we both drifted off to sleep.
