A Chance for Growth

HoCo...Maybe?

Still at the Howard Residence

Taraji and Boris walked to the front door, saying their good byes to Alice. Terrence leisurely followed behind them. "I'll call you tomorrow, Alice. We can catch up some more over tea," Bernice said as she hugged Alice. "Of course. Bye Boris, bye Taraji, " Alice replied. Taraji hugged Mrs. Howard and saw Terrence licking his lips as he eyed her figure once again. She blushed, turning quickly to walk to the car. "Give the jacket back, Penda," Her father voiced before she made it past the door frame. "It's ok, Mr. Henson. I'll get it from her tomorrow, at school," Terrence insisted. Boris could feel the ball of mess his daughter was about to get herself into as he watched the two teens interact.

Alice locked the door as the Henson family drove off and turned to her mannish son. "It was nice seeing them wasn't it? Taraji has grown into a beautiful young woman," she teased, knowing that he had been eyeing her the entire evening. Terrence rubbed the back of neck and shrugged. "She a'ight," he simply stated. Mrs. Alice chuckled to herself and walked to clean up while her son daydreamed about his lifelong crush

Taraji sat in the backseat of the car, cuddled up into Terry's jacket, inhaling his scent. Boris watched her movement from the rearview mirror, getting furious by the second. "Taraji, you didn't tell me Terrence was so handsome now," Bernice said, turning halfway into her seat to converse with the love-struck Taraji. "Oh yeah. He looks like any other boy at school," she dismissed, not wanting to sound too eager. "So, does that means you have no interest in him, just like the other boys at your school?" Boris asked, knowing his daughter was going to lie. "Of course, daddy. We're just childhood friends, nothing more," Taraji confirmed. Bernice raised an eyebrow and hummed her doubts. She could see the stars dancing around her daughter's eyes as she looked back out the window, pulling the jacket closer to her face. Taraji might have been denying it, but her parents definitely knew better. 

The next morning, Taraji woke up with a pep in her step. She bounced her way through the house, doing her hygiene and picking out the perfect outfit to gain her best friend's attention. She settled for another tight fitted skirt and a long sleeve crop top, showing off her toned figure without giving too much. She grabbed a jacket, just in case her dad hadn't left yet. She threw a pair of heels in her backpack and ran downstairs, anxious to make it past her parents without answering a million questions. She peeped her head around the kitchen corner, seeing her parent's car keys missing. 'Guess they left early,' she thought to herself. She grabbed an apple and 2 cookies, heading off to school. 

She pulled up 10 minutes before the bell rang, but she had plans to wait before going in. She looked at herself in the rearview mirror, making sure her makeup was perfect, when she heard a group of guys laughing. She quickly grabbed her heels out of her backpack, switching the basic flats she had on. Once she was ready, she flung the car door open, hitting JJ in the face. "Aaahh, damn! My nose is bleeding!" He yelled out. Taraji sat shocked in her car as Rashad and Terrence burst out laughing. "Oh my God, I’m sorry! I didn't see you. Here's a napkin," Taraji quickly apologized, stepping out the car, showing off her mature body and putting the 3 boys in a trance. "It's cool, shawty. Damn, you fine," JJ replied. She blushed and bent over to grab her backpack, so she could head to class. 

Rashad started hitting JJ and Terry's arm, examining the diameter of her ass as it filled out her skirt. Terrence cleared his throat as she stood up. "What class you got first?" He asked, trying to shake the thoughts of her sitting in his lap. She pulled out her schedule, not sure since she wasn't on time yesterday. "Umm English with Mrs. Jameson. What about you?" She asked, avoiding the other 2 drooling boys. "Same, but I was planning on leaving. Skip with me," Terry suggested, licking his lips trying to sway her his way. She blushed, pushing a couple strands of hair behind her ear. "I can't. I missed yesterday. I don't know about you, but I'm trying to graduate. How about you come to class with me, and we can go off campus for lunch again?" She bargained. Rashad and JJ looked between the two, confused about what was going on with them.
