Let's Get Physical.

Taking Care Of You.

-Next Morning-

Taraji POV

I woke up this morning with a throbbing headache and a painful throat. Me and terrence were still in the same sleeping position as last night and it seemed that he wasn't going to wake up soon so I had to sneak out of bed. When I tried to get up, he grabbed my arm. "Where you going?" He asked me. "Somewhere." I said slightly taking my hand out off his grip and going into the bathroom to shower. When I came out I was dressed in something comfortable and I stretched. Terrence woke up and brushed past me. "You hungry? Mind if I fix some breakfast?" He asked me and I shook my head saying that he could. We walked downstairs together and I sat at the counter. "Why are you cooking for me?" I asked him. "Because you're as sick as a dog and needs to be catered to...you work too damn hard. You're always up doing stuff, just lay down for once and relax...I got you.." He said smiling as he started making waffles. I smiled as I watched him. I turned on some music from my t.v and he turned around grinning. "Hey at least if you're going to cook for me it can be fun..." I told him as he smirked and turned back around. He made waffles, eggs, and pancakes with blueberries, along with a glass if orange juice. He came to the table and gave me my plate as he sat down and I smiled. "Thanks..." I said to him as he smiled. "No need to thank me...I can't just leave you here sick like that...that's stupid.." He told me. "Which is exactly why I figured you would do it.." I said grinning. We laughed and ate. I just looked at him in curiosity. Maybe there was something different about him...not in a dating way...but just....he's just different. "What?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Nothing...just glad I met you.." I said as we smiled and ate. Once we were done I laid on the couch whining from body pain, and the feeling of hardly being able to breath because of my swollen throat and stuffed sinuses. Terrence came next to me, squatting down and looking at me. "What's wrong? Besides being sick?" He asked me. "Just...life.." I told him sighing and closing my eyes. He shook his head and smiled. "And I'm bored..." I told him. "Well you're sick what do you expect to be doing..you can't go outside because you can hardly walk around with out getting tired...wanna Netflix and no chill?" He asked me smiling. I nodded and he picked me up and took me upstairs. He laid me in bed and got in on the other side. We were watching movies on Netflix and showbox. "What do you wanna watch?" He asked me. "Hmm...Disney movies.." I said smiling up at him as I rubbed my hands on my face, people occasionally did that when they were sick. "Disney movies?..why?" He asked me. "Because you're never to old for your childhood...you mean to tell me that you don't like any disney movies?" I asked him surprised. "Pfft no..." He said crossing his arms and looking away. "Terrence..." I said raising an eyebrow. "What?" He asked him. "You better be honest with me.." I told him. He rolled his eyes and continued looking away. I coughed a couple times and sighed. I nudged him trying to annoy him so that he would tell me. "I know you have onnnnee!" I shouted as I continued to nudge him. "Stop taraji.." He said frowning. "Oh so now you want say my name...you must be really madddd...!" I said mocking him as I still tried to annoy him. "Fine! My favorite movie is the beauty and the beast!" He shouted at me. I froze as I stared at him. We stared at each other for awhile and I started laughing. "The beauty and the beast??!" I shouted laughing. "This is why I didn't want to tell you anything...everything I tell you, you laugh about it.." He told me crossing his arms. "Relax you big baby...I think it's cute...how come you like it?" I asked him seriously. "Because I just like the fact that even though he's a monster, there's good in him...no matter how you look....or appear to be...there's always someone who'll love you for you and how you are...no matter what." He said looking down. "Is that something that you wish for, for yourself?" I asked him. "Sometimes.." He said frowning. "So you're saying that...love has no appearance...or expectation...or way it HAS to be...love is love...right..?" I asked him. He nodded looking me in the eyes. "That's...wonderful..." I said smiling. "I guess.." He said sighing. "No..it really is...that you think that way...I do think that there's someone for everyone...but that's with personality... Not looks." I told him grinning. "Thanks for understanding ...what's yours?" He asked me. "The little mermaid.." I told him. "And why is that?" He asked me. "I don't know..she just seems so confident...and free...and she found that one perfect guy...that didn't care about her differences, or complications...that's something I wish I had for myself.." I told him looking away from him. He smiled and grinned. "Well I like the Lion king...because I always think in my head that I'm this tough ruler and no one can stop me...just a kiddie thought, but you know...it's just easier thinking like that than deal with the life...I would spell it like l-y-o-n for fun" He told me. "Ha...a lyon king huh?" I asked him. He nodded and I smiled. "Your minds sort of like your sanctuary huh?" I asked him and he smiled and nodded. "Except sometimes I come back to reality too fast..." He said as we chuckled. "Hey...I'll be back...I'm gonna go get some snacks for us while we have our Netflix and no chill..." Said terrence kissing my head and getting up. "I wanna come.." I told him. "Nope..you're sick therefore you gotta stay here." He told me. "But you're gonna leave me alone and I'm so *cough* *cough* sick.." I said fake coughing even though I really am sick. "Ugh fine come on.." He said smiling as he picked me up and took me downstairs. I put my shoes on and walked outside to get in the car. I got in the back this time because is wanted to lay across the seat. "Why are you getting in the back?" He asked me. "Because honestly I feel like I'm about to fall out and I wanna lay down back here.." I told him smiling and he shrugged and started the car. We drove to this big gas station to get some snacks and I walked in all drousily. "Told you that you should've stayed at home.." He told me shaking his head. I rolled my eyes and we went inside.
