I Want You...And I Got You

A Month Later

The Day before Thanksgiving Break Started

At School

Terrence and Taraji were living on a cloud for the past month. Since they started dating, it became known quickly around the school. Bad boy Terrence has been tied down to good girl Taraji. Rashad and JJ were the ones to really put the school on notice. It was the last day of school before everyone was out for Thanksgiving. The day was going to be cut in half, making all classes no more than 25minutes each.

Terrence decided to skip his last class, because who needs culinary skills. He sat waiting outside of Taraji’s class, holding a bag of goodies for her to snack on when they leave. The final bell rang after another 15 minutes and students filled the hall quickly. He heard Taraji’s voice standing out in the midst of loud students darting for the exit. Once he saw her walk out of the classroom without seeing him, he reached his long arms out and grabbed the belt loops on her jeans.

“If you don’t get your damn…oh baby! I thought you was Eric’s grimy ass,” Taraji started to yell, instantly calming down as she came face to face with Terry’s hypnotizing eyes. “He still fucking with you?” Terry asked, holding a serious dark look in his eyes while he fiddled with a couple of strands of Taraji’s hair.

“Sometimes, but nothing I can’t handle. You’ve been doing so good with the no fighting, and I don’t want to see you get in trouble now, so close to the holidays,” Taraji said, handing Terrence her bag and using him to balance and take her heels off. “Yeah, well we are on break right now, so whatever I do to a nigga is free game. Why do you keep wearing those damn shoes to school?” Terrence asked, feeling himself become possessive. He loved watching her ass twitch even more when she wore heels, but he didn’t like that other guys could see how sexy she was in them as well.

Taraji looked up at her new boyfriend and grabbed her bag from him. “What you need to be concerned with is why I still haven’t gotten a kiss from my man. We been talking for a whole five minutes and you haven’t even tried to grab my booty!” she pouted, making Terry chuckle at how cute she looked. He pulled her by her waist and gave her a deep kiss, running his hands across her ass, ending with a smack that echoed the now empty halls. She pulled away, biting her bottom lip and wiping the shiny lip gloss that was left behind on Terrence’s lips. “Come on, let’s go,” Taraji suggested, pulling him off the wall. They walked outside and saw Shad and JJ talking to Tracie. She looked annoyed that Taraji hadn’t made it outside yet.

“Look all I’m saying is, your girl going out with my boy, so I think it’s only right in the universe if you go out with me. We can have the whole double date thing,” Rashad said, trying his hardest to spit game to Tracie. She rolled her eyes, looking over her shoulder and seeing to the love sick puppies finally walking to the car.

“What the hell have you two been doing? You know what, I don’t even want to know. Are you going with me and my brother to the movies this week?” Tracie asked only Taraji. Raji looked up at Terry then back at Tracie. “Maybe? I don’t want to say definitely but I will make an effort I promise,” Raji spat out. JJ snickered at Taraji’s submissive glance up to Terrence. “Yeah, she’ll make an effort. An effort to take some dick this week,” he said, laughing and nudging Rashad.

Terry felt his blood boil and he yanked JJ by the collar of his jacket. “What I tell you about that shit? You getting real slick at the mouth nigga,” he said in his deep demanding tone. Taraji bit her lip seeing him go hard for her, even when his own boys stepped out of line. She eyed the flexed muscles in his arms and the veins that were popping out starting from him neck even the veins in his hands. She wanted him to do a little more than the typical ass grabbing he had been doing. She stood thinking about him manhandling her while giving her something she’s never had before. She snapped out of her thoughts at the sight of JJ throwing his hands up. “Chill Tee. My bad, it was just a joke. I’m sorry, damn,” JJ shouted out. Terry let him go and walked to the driver side of the door.
