Taraji -

I kept my distance from Terrance while on set for Empire. After we were done taping, I went to my trailer, grabbed my purse and left. I went to the day care center and picked up Royalty, then I went grocery shopping. Once I got home I put the food away and then I took off my clothes and took a much needed shower. I let Royalty play in her pin. I turned on the stereo and Jeremih's song Start All Over came on. I poured myself a glass of wine, and kicked my feet up. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through old pictures of me and Chris. I smiled at his goodie faces that he made in some of the pictures.

I came across our wedding picture and smiled. That was the best day of my life, when I said I do and became Mrs. Brown. I was so happy that day. I took a deep breath and put my phone on the pillow. I laid my head back and stared at the ceiling in deep thought.

I wanted to forgive Chris, but I couldn't, he hurt me so bad. It would take a lot of prayer for me to Forgive him and for us to go back to that happy place that we once were at. I took a deep breath and grabbed my bottle and my glass and took it into the kitchen.

Just as I stepped foot back into the living room, the door bell rung. I looked through the peep whole and it was Chris. I opened the door and he pecked my lips. "Hey," he said. "Hey," I replied.

"Dada!" Royalty said as she jumped up and down. "Hey princess," Chris said as he went over to the play pin. He picked her up and kissed her cheek. She laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. I sat down on the couch and he sat down next to me.

I grabbed the remote and turned the stereo off. "I heard Royalty is still number one on billboard congratulations," I said. "Thanks, we having a party tonight, it's the third month Royalty been number one," he said. "That's good I told you it was a winner," I said as I grabbed the remote and turned the tv on.

"Yeah, you wanna come to the party tonight?" "No I'm gonna stay here with Royalty," I said. "Please baby come out with me tonight," I said. "I don't have a baby sitter," I said. "Come on Taraji, call Megan baby I really want you there with me tonight, I want my wife standing by my side," he said as he rubbed my thigh.

"Oh so now I'm your wife?" I asked. "Baby come on stop being stubborn," he said. "Fine I'll call her," I said. I grabbed my phone and called Megan, her and August would come and watch Royalty.

"You going upstairs to get dressed?" He asked. "Yeah," I said. "Alright," he replied. I went upstairs and took a shower. After my shower I did my hair, and I got dressed I did my make up and applied my lip stick. I looked damn good tonight. I took my ring off and placed it in the jewelry box. I grabbed my clutch and headed down stairs.

"Damn," Chris said the minute he laid eyes on me. "You look good as fuck," he said. "Thank you," I said. Just then the door bell rung, I went over to answer the door.

"Okay okay oh shit look at you Mrs. Brown," she said giving me a hug. "Ms. Henson," I said as I gave Chris the side eye. He skipped his lips and rolled his eyes. "Where's my little cookie crumb?" She asked.

"In her play pin Chris just put her down for her nap, you think you'll be okay?" I asked. "How many times have I watched Royalty T? I'll be okay," she said. "Okay girl there's plenty of snacks in the fridge, and I left some money on my dresser in case you want to order something," I said.
