Staring at my reflection as it gazed back at myself. The guys shuffled behind me getting ready to take the stage. We were backstage of the Arsenio Hall show to promote the movie.
"Taye I told you about stealing my shit fool! These are my socks I brought a duffle bag for a reason-to explore options."Harold said snatching his pair from his hands. He scoffed pressing his lips together.
"All them times I shared with yo ass!? Imma remember that."Taye said sucking his teeth.
I watched them through the mirror shaking my head amused by how childish they were.
These guys I tell you they were one of a kind. I was going to miss working with them, I finished all of my scenes early I've just decided to cut this film short and move on.
"So you seriously cutting us loose Tee?"Morris asked coming up behind me. He placed his hand on my shoulder, looking at me through the mirror.
I nodded. "Yeah man, I start filming Pride next year. I need to spend time with my kids before I'm back to traveling again."I said putting a navy blue beanie on my head.
Morris raised a brow. "Or is that an excuse-"He began. I touched his shoulder shaking my head and stood from my chair. He knew I didn't want to talk about it.
Right now I wanted to forget about her and focus on my kids and my art. That's what really mattered at the end of the day, she still hasn't called me and I haven't either. She can have the house and everything else, no hard feelings I still loved her deeply but I was tired of feeling like my effort to get her back was for nothing.
"Not right now Mo."I said lowly. I looked behind him to see if Harold and Taye was paying attention;they wasn't. I didn't want them to hop into the conversation making it worse.
The thought of Taraji with someone else made me sick to my stomach. If she was ready to move on, I had no choice but to accept that and back off and I do the same.
"Come on let's just have a good night tonight I was thinking we could turn up at the strip club Pearl tonight. Since this is our last night until you go MIA on us again." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"Pearls? Why can't we just get a couple of drinks and play pool. I'm kinda feeling that vibe tonight." I replied furrowing my brows a bit. Don't get me wrong Pearls was one of the hottest clubs in LA but it still didn't feel right.
"Look Tee you need some fun and going home moping ain't working. You wanna get over her right?"
I dropped my head and shrugged bitting my bottom lip uneasy. My head was everywhere.
"Then we are going to Pearls."Morris said playfully slapping me on the back. I rolled my eyes and flopped down on the couch. God this was going to be a long night.
