Be Without You

04: Because you're not

Terrence

"Alright,everyone! Lunch is over! Cookie and Lucious! You're on set in 5"the director shouts.

I was watching her the whole break. She never even told me her name. I only found out by checking her seat. I should stop trying,because I'm married and it's obvious she's not interested.

Don't be a pussy.

Aight. Maybe I should just ask her out.

I'm woken from my thoughts with a brush on my face. Great! They're putting makeup on me again.

When the makeup guy is done,I put on my coat and walk towards the place where the scene will start. I get ready to start acting and when I see Cookie,my heart almost stops.

She's looking so sexy! Lee did this on purpose. I think to myself,as I straighten my posture and look directly at her,smirking.

It's time to be Lucious...the asshole.

Taraji

"Lucious,I want half my company back! I'm not here for you!"I shout,stepping closer to him. Suddenly he yanks me towards him and smashes his lips against mine.

I can't help but let out a low moan and gasp as we pull out for air. He and I are stuck in this moment,just looking into each others' eyes. But is this a Cookie and Lucious moment,or a Terrence and Taraji moment?

Don't forget,he's an actor. So he could fool you. Don't fall for him.

"CUT!"the director shouts. "That was perfect you two. Unfortunately we're done for the day. But good work. We'll see you again on Monday?"the director asks. I nod my head and Terrence agrees.

As I walk into my trailer,I feel a presence behind me. It's Terrence.

"Look,Terren-"

"No..."he says,looking deeply into my eyes. I gulp and he enters the trailer and closes the door.

"Please just let me say what I need to say"he whispers. "Ok"I whisper back.

"I over reacted earlier today. I'm sure you noticed. It's just that,I'm so used to women throwing themselves at me. And then there you were,all beautiful and independant. I didn't know what else to do but walk away. And I'm sorry if I made you feel bad"he says,finally breathing.

"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have been rude to you. Can I make it up to you?"I ask,tilting my head a little.

"You DO NOT wanna ask me that"he says,smirking and getting up,walking to the trailer door.

"You nasty ass"I say,slapping his shoulder. We share a short laugh and he suddenly turns around. "You never told me your name,y'know..."Terrence says,his cheeks getting pink by the second.

"My name's Taraji Henson"I tell him. "Beautiful name...Just like you"he says,stroking his stubble. "No. Just don't."I say,laughing out loud.

"What!"he asks. "That was too corny. Something Lucious would say"I say,crossing my arms.

"Well,look who's talking."he says,pulling something out of his pocket. Turns out to be his phone.

"Would you do me the honour?"he asks me,showing me his keypad.

"Ofcourse"I agree,unable to hide my smile. As I put my number in,I smell his cologne. It smells SO good!

"That better be the right one"he says,looking fake concerned.

He saves my contact and then we take a selfie.

Terrence

At least now I'll always be able to look at her beautiful face. The picture is beautiful. We kinda look like couple.

I say goodbye to Taraji and she smokes that gorgeous smile of hers and I turn my back and leave.

As I get my car keys out,I hear a familiar voice. "It's your lucky day"she says,standing next to the navy blue SUV I bought her last year for our anniversary. No,it's not...

"I'd rather drive myself."I say,tryna be insistent.

"Terence,I am trying here!"she shouts,stomping her heel on the pavement.

"And so am I!"I yell back.

"No,Terrence! You're not trying hard enough. Instead,you come back home and treat me like I'm not your wife"she says.

"Because you're not."I say,gettin into my car and driving home.
