Delusional Love (Trey Songz, Carmelo Anthony, Bria Murphy Love Story)

Love Vs Hate

When I got home, Taj was sitting on the couch looking pissed off. He didn't even acknowledge that I was in the room. I know he better not have forgot my birthday.

"Hi to you too." I said walking to the bedroom. I changed into one of his shirts and went to the kitchen.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"I'm not that hungry." He said lowly

I sighed at his attitude. What is he mad about? I hope he didn't see me and Dante.

"I'ma go for a walk." He said grabbing his jacket and walking out

What could he be so mad about? Whatever it is, I'll talk to him about it later. I made me a plate of left over chicken and macaroni cheese. I was watching TV when Taj came back, he just went straight to the bedroom. I cut off the TV and went to talk to him.

"What's wrong with you? You walking around giving me the silent treatment and you must of forgot that today is my birthday." I said walking in the room

"My bad bae. I'm dealing with a lot."

"Like what?"

"I got fired today."

"Why? What happened?"

"I don't know but they fired me. We got rent coming up and I've been trying to find a way to get another job before it's due."

"Taj, why couldn't you just tell me this? You got me scared wondering if I did something wrong."

"I can't get mad at you. I'm sorry I forgot your birthday bae" He said as he pulled me close to him and kissed my forehead

"You'll have to make it up. So what are we gonna do?" I asked

"Don't worry about it, I'll find a way."

*******

When I woke up Taj was gone. He left a note on the nightstand saying he went to look for work and wouldn't be back til noon. It was 11:30 when I looked at the clock. I got up and got in the shower and did my daily routine. When I got out, Taj was in the living room watching TV.

"How'd the job hunt go?" I asked straddling him

"I don't know. Most likely find out in a few days." He said turning his head and closing his eyes

"You still tired?" I asked

"Yeah. I been out since 7. I'm exhausted." He said still with his eyes closed

"My poor baby." I cooed kissing him all over his cheek

"Calm down with all that." He twisted his face up

"Give me a kiss." I said

"Go on Roc." He said

"Boy, you better give me a kiss." I said

"Or what?" He asked

"Do we really need to go there?"

"If I give you a kiss, will you let me sleep?"

"Yeah." I rolled my eyes

He pecked my lips multiple times and then turned his head and went to sleep.

"I love you." I said as he responded with his light snores. I was in our room painting my nails when I got a text from Noah asking if I could meet up with him at the cafe down the street. I guess I can use up some time while Taj sleeps.

******

"Hey, you made it." Noah smiled

"Yeah, I did."

I told Noah about what happened yesterday, excluding what happened with me and Dante. Wade came and hung out with us and soon left back for work. A little while after he left, I decided to go back home. When I got there, Taj was still sleep. I woke him up so he wouldn't be up all night.

"Bae? Wake up." I shook him

"Yeah." He said

"Taj wake up."

"I'm up." He said with his eyes still closed

"Taj?"

"I said I'm up." He said with attitude

"The attitude wasn't needed." I said sitting down

"What you was doing?"

"I was at the cafe down the street with Noah and Wade."

"Them niggas?"

"Yes. We were all talking and Wade said his job needs some workers."

"What does he do?"

"He delivers things. He said he can put in a word for you."

"A delivery guy? I ain't feeling that shit." He said getting an attitude

"Calm down."

"Why you telling them our business anyway? I told you I was looking for a job."

"I'm just trying to help." I said getting up

"I can handle this." He said

Why is he tripping? I only wanted to help. The things I put up with for him.
