I woke up this morning with a terrible headache, I went to the bathroom to freshen up and style my hair. Next, I checked to see if Fantasia was still home.
She was cleaning up. "Good morning, Fantasia.", I said as I walked to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water.
"Good morning, are you okay?", Fantasia questioned.
"Headache", I sighed. I sat down and drank some water while watching Fantasia clean up.
"Want me to get you some medicine?", she asked.
"Yes, Please", I replied. I massaged my head until she returned with my medicine.
She handed me two ibuprofens and I took them. "That should work in a few", she told me before continuing on with her cleaning.
"Shit!", I said out loud to myself. I looked in my purse to see if the envelope was in there.
"What is it?", Fantasia looked at me.
"I left the letter I wrote at the house", I sighed.
"Want me to pick it up for you?", Fantasia asked. She picked up the broom and began sweeping.
"No, but you can drive me if you feel like it. I still feel a little off", I told her.
"Okay, I don't mind", she said. "Whenever you're ready let me know", she added and continued to sweep.
After feeling unwell, I leaned against the kitchen counter briefly to compose myself. But, I began to cry, and I hate feeling overly emotional.
Fantasia ran over to me and rubbed my lower back. "It's gonna be okay Taraji", she said. She talked me through my tears so I could feel better. "I'm gonna be right here with you forever. I promise", she told me.
I relied on her for support as I rested my head on her shoulder while embracing her. With a tender touch, she slid her hand beneath my shirt, massaging my exposed back. Our eyes met in a shared moment, and she responded with a warm smile.
I continued looking at her. "What?", she questioned me.
"Nothing", I said. I wiped my eyes and went to slide my shoes on.
"That's the 2nd time", I heard Fantasia mumble. She grabbed her car keys and went to her car. I followed behind her and got in the car on the passenger's side.
