Best Friend

Walk The Talk

Toni stood in her bathroom as she checked herself in the mirror, soothing her hands down her black side tie Halter Dress. Her dress had been showing a little side boob and a lot of cleavage. Toni smiled at herself as she put her hair up into a huge bun, with a pair of bright yellow stilettos. Feel very confident about her look and self.

She took one last glare at herself before she left out the bathroom. Grabbing her satchel off her dressing table.

*Door bell rings*

Babyface stood on Toni's front porch as he turned around staring at the quite street. With his back facing the door. He fixed his jacket as he awaited Toni to open the door.

"She's always late." He mumbled to himself.

Finally feeling a little breeze hit him, he spun around and was caught off guard by what Toni was wearing.

"Don't you look mighty handsome." Toni complimented on Babyface's spring wear.

He grinned lightly. As he pulled her into a hug. "You look beautiful." He whispered into her ear.

Causing Toni to blush tremendously. She quickly looked down avoiding any eye contact. Because every time Toni's with Babyface, eye contact is always made. Weather it's an interview, performing or family dinner. Eye contact is never left behind.

"Ready to go and have breakfast?" Babyface asked Toni, firmly holding onto her hand, as she locked her door.

"Yes..." Toni smiled. "Let's go."

Walking towards Babyface car. Toni was impressed by the way he had opened her door for her. And helped her get in.

The car ride was silent. Toni would take small glares at Babyface, and he would do the same to her. He had his hands on the steering as he drove. Their car ride was never silent they always spoke about the oddest things ever.

"How's the boys?" Babyface finally spoke breaking their awkward silence.

"Their great. Growing like seeds." Toni chuckled.

"Where are they?"

"With Keri, you know... He gets them for the weekend." Toni sighed.

"How is Keri? I had called him a few days ago about our international tour to South Africa and he... Never got back to me." Babyface spoke, glaring at Toni.

"He tried working things out, but..."

"What happened?"

"Isn't today suppose to be about us... Friends?" Toni asked growing a little annoyed. "Because I don't like mixing my past with my present."

Babyface dropped the topic as he narrowed his brows at what she had said. He had been in a bubble of his own for the rest of the ride. Toni placed her hand over his hand that was placed on the steering wheel.

He looked at her and she smiled at him. "Am fine Ken... Don't worry about me-"

"I just don't wanna see you get hurt again. Much less by the same guy." Babyface said, reaching out to caress Toni's cheek as he came to stop at a red light.

"And I won't. I told you... He tried... I didn't... We didn't."

"Your gonna find someone who loves you, just like I do." He chuckled.

"Like you do?" Toni narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, maybe not like I do. But you will find a man again. Best friend." He fist bumped her shoulder.

"That was sore!" Toni shouted as he punched him in his shoulder.

Causing them both to start laughing. How is it that two people who love one another so much. Not be together. Who admire one another's decisions. Support one another. Console one another. Have so much in common. Not be together as one.

Placing his hand onto her thigh. Toni gasped but looked out the window. Smiling at her view.

***************************

"Breakfast was great." Toni smiled over at the sun, as they walked the beach.

"And those prawns were the main topping." Babyface said chuckling.

It's Toni Braxton&Babyface!

*Camera flashes*

They were both caught off guard by the paparazzi, quickly letting go of one another's hands.

To late for that now...
