When We Wrap!✔️

Before it all happened

Terrence's place

"What's up man you look blue than the blues, I don't like your face right now man"

"That's no problem, the ladies love it" Terrence joked. His best buddy chuckled, and he realised he was laughing alone. "Okay talk!" he demanded

"I was deep in my thoughts thinking about the last season of Empire shoot. My heart is aching because this is the last time I could ever see my colleagues again. My heart is breaking into pieces realising this might be the last time I get to work with Taraji ever, the friendship we built throughout the years could come crashing down. I mean,  without the regular communication we used to have, might as well close that chapter.  I'm gonna miss everybody. I'm gonna miss her a lot!" Terrence told his friend.

"This ain't about no colleagues nigga you are in love with that Girl. Over the years that has been your new favourite song. Taraji...taraji Taraji...  Oh Taraji, man you are whipped. Have you tapped that yet?"

"I don't know why I bother talking to you. close my door on your way out. I have a work thing"  he said walking away

"work thing, with Tarajiiiiii!" his friend yelled

"shut up man!"
Terrence snapped at him.

"Now I see why your wife left you" Terrence added. "you are next in line brother, Mira gonna leave your ass once your dick finds its way inside -- ouch!" he whined after something that looked like a phone case hit his big head from up the stairs.
he gasped. jaw hanging.

"get out!" Terence said firmly.
"damn man you didn't have to knock me out like that, I'm out alright. Say hi to --"

"Nigga!"

"Okay bye!"

Taraji's house

Taraji was busy on her phone snooping on social media. "Ma, your car is ready, you going to be late, what are you busy with on your phone anyways?" Marcel asked carrying his mother's bags

"boy, take 'em bags to the car and get off my back please" Taraji answered while clicking on her phone.

"What do you have in 'em bags anyways? Carrying so much luggage for a weekend..." Marcell shot back.

"Boy, I told you..." Before Taraji could finish her sentence Marcel Interrupt her "yes ma'am" he carries the bags out...

A few minutes later Taraji kissed Marcel goodbye and get into her car "break a leg, and have a great weekend" Marcel told Taraji. "You staying here till I get back right?" She asked him. "Of course, see you Monday, don't do anything I wouldn't do". "Great! Try to stay out of trouble will you?" She told him,

her phone went off

she looked at the caller ID and looked at Marcel
"stay out of my bedroom and try not to burn my house down, see you in a couple of days, mummy loves you" she placed her free hand on his cheeks, and Marcel smiled. The car pulled away as Taraji answered her phone call.
