My College Professor ( Happily Married) Book 2

Chapter 20

Taraji -

I was sitting in the house on the couch playing with Royalty when the door bell rung. I looked through the peep whole and saw Chris. I shook my head and took a deep breath. What the hell did he not get about I needed space.

I opened the door and walked over to Royalty. "Dada!" Royalty cheered as she jumped up and down. "Hey baby girl," Chris said as he handed her a teddy bear and kissed her cheek. "I need to talk to mommy okay," he said as he placed her in her play pin.

"What we need to talk about Chris?" I asked. He went back outside and came inside with a giant teddy bear. "Baby turn around and let me see that sexy body go bump bump bump bump," he sung. I sucked my teeth, I wanted to laugh but I couldn't. He moved the bear smiling.

"Come on baby you know you wanna smile," he said as he tried to kiss my lips. I backed up and shook my head. "Chris what do you want?" I asked. "Why you being like this baby, I'm sorry," he said as he bit down on his bottom lip and rubbed my lower back. That shit was so sexy, and it turned me on. I pushed him off me and walked away. I plopped down on the couch.

"Give me your key," I said. "I ain't got it I accidentally left it at the hotel why you need it?" He asked. "I'm changing the locks," I said. "Come on baby don't do that," he said. "I am cause you don't understand what space means Chris, I need time to myself," I said.

"Okay okay baby I understand, you gone let me see Royalty?" He asked. "Of course you know I won't deny you of your daughter," I said as I picked Royalty out of her play pin. She laid her head on my shoulder as I rubbed her back.

"Alright, well can I at least take you out to dinner tomorrow night after my show?" He asked. "I'll think about it," I said. "Alright, you can keep the bear I bought it for you," he said as he placed it on the couch.

"I'll see you later," he said as he kissed my cheek. I didn't really want him to go but them I couldn't stand to look at him. "See yah," I said taking a deep breath.

"Dada," Royalty cried as Chris walked to the door. "I gotta go baby I'll see you tomorrow okay," he said as he kissed her forehead. "No dada," she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. It really hurt me to see her crying for him.

"Listen Sweetheart, I got to go okay, daddy can't stay right now," he said as he pecked her lips. He placed her back in my arms and headed to the door. "Dada," she sobbed as tears fell down her eyes. She laid her head on my chest and I cried with her. "Mommy dada," she said as she pointed to the door. "I know baby I know," I said as I rubbed her back. "Dada," she cried. It really pained me for my baby to be hurting. I know she wanted Chris. I wanted Chris too. I wished he never did this to us. I took Royalty upstairs and laid her down in the bed with me. I listened as she whimpered and constantly called for Chris. I was calling him too. Calling him to get his shit together before he lost me for good.

Chris-

I sat on the front porch with tears falling down my eyes. It pained me to hear Royalty calling for me. I hated that my actions was the reason me and Taraji was going through this again. I missed her, I needed her, and wanted her badly. I shook my head and took a deep breath as I got up and headed to the car. I got in and slammed the door shut. I started up the car and drove off. I was gone do everything to get my baby back it was the last thing I did. I was nothing without her.

**********

After my show, I got a text from El saying Taraji was over him and Mary's house. After signing a few Cd's, I hopped in the car and headed over to El and Mary's house. Fetty Wap's Again was playing through my speakers.

I nodded my head to the beat as I got off the expressway. I pulled up in front of the house and El came outside. "You good bro?" He asked. "Yeah man, I look okay?" I asked as I popped some gum in my mouth. "Bruh you okay," he laughed. "Shut yo ass up," I laughed as put my snap back on. I followed El in the house. I didn't know what I was gone say, but I needed to talk to Taraji. I needed to see her.

I walked in the kitchen and Taraji put her glass down and walked out. "Taraji," I said as I walked after her. Mary blocked my path. "Chris, this is not going to help you she needs her space," Mary said.

"Mary please, I need to talk to her," I said . "Chris I'm telling you this not going to help," she said. "Okay," I replied as I shook my head and walked off. "I'm sorry bro," El said. "It's coo," I replied.

I went back to the car and pulled out my bottle of promethazine. I mixed it with my Sprite as I rolled my weed. I knew I shouldn't be doing this while driving but I ain't care.

I pulled up in front of the hotel and took a deep breath. I called Taraji and it went straight to voice mail. I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my eyes. I would rather die than be without Taraji.

I reached in my glove compartment and pulled out the 9m I had inside of it. Just as I aimed it to my head Taraji started knocking on my mirror. I rolled the window down. "What you want man?" I asked. "Give me the gun," she said. "Why man I ain't got shit to live for," I said. "So what about me, what about Royalty?" She asked. "I thought you was done with me?" I asked. "Chris," she said. I took a deep breath and gave her the gun. "Get out of the car," she said. "Why?" I asked. "Christopher if you don't get yo black ass out this mother fucking car," she said.

I took a deep breath and got out. She snatched the cup I was drinking and threw it out. "Come on man!" I said. "If you want me back you need to give that shit up," she said. I took a deep breath and rubbed my temples. She raised her eye brow at me. "Okay," I said. She pushed up on me and gave me a long lingering kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist as I deepened the kiss. "I love you," she moaned. "I love you too," I said as I bit down on her bottom lip. "Stop," she giggled. I laughed as I slapped her hard on the ass. "I'm off punishment?" I asked. "No you are not, you are in big trouble, it's gone be a while before you get off punishment," she said. "Damn really?" I laughed. "Yes I'm serious," she said. "Okay," I said.

She stared deep into my eyes and kissed me again. "I miss you," she said. "I miss you too," I said as I rubbed her back. Mary Honked the car and got out. "Taraji, come on dammit, I'm gone miss fucking Grey's anatomy. You know the season finally come on in a hour shit," she said as we laughed.

"You be home tomorrow?" I asked. "Yes, but you know you gone have to ring the door bell I got the locks changed," she said. I laughed. "Alright, can I take you out tomorrow night?" I asked. "I don't know I got to ask my husband about all that," she said making me laugh. "You can pick me up after your show," she laughed. "Iight, I love you," I said. "I love you too," she replied as she pecked my lips. Mary honked the horn again. "Bitch if you don't come on!" She yelled. "Bye Chris," she said. "Bye babe," I replied.

I watched her get in the car and Mary drive off. I rolled my windows up, locked the door and then I went inside the hotel. Maybe things with me and Taraji was gone get better after all.
