Chapter 20: Cheryl’s POV
I woke up alone in bed the next morning, id stayed in the spare room that night because we had decided we wanted to take things slow. I laid back on the bed and sighed before swinging my legs over the side and getting up. I headed into the bathroom to shower quickly before getting dressed. Heading into the kitchen, I noticed Kim sitting at the table flicking through a magazine and sipping a coffee. She smiled at me as I wondered over planting a soft kiss on her lips and sitting down on her lap. ‘Hey baby’ I smiled leaning my head on her shoulder. ‘You look tired’ she whispered, ‘Yeah I didn’t get much sleep’ I replied before continuing; ‘Nadines coming over in a bit, that ok’ I spoke quietly knowing that it might still be a touchy subject with my girlfriend due to the events of the previous night. ‘I suppose, just don’t let her come near me’ she mumbled before pushing me to stand up and wondering over to the sink to wash her cup up. ‘Come on Kimba, don’t be like that, shes your best friend’ I sighed as I walked over to her wrapping my arms around her waist from behind. ‘No, shes your best friend Cheryl, I don’t want anything to do with her at the moment’ She snapped before pulling away from me and stomping out of the kitchen. I sighed heavily as I grabbed my cigarettes and headed out the backdoor for a smoke.
I leant against the wall and sparked up before taking a long drag of my cigarette and staring straight ahead. I knew Kim was going to be stubborn about this and I knew where she was coming from but I didn’t want her to ruin her friendship over this but what could I do. I knew I had a lot of making up to do and I was prepared to do absolutely anything to get our relationship back on track starting from now. I stubbed my cigarette out before heading back inside. I walked through to the lounge and sat on the edge of the sofa that Kim was laid out on. ‘What you doing tonight?’ I queried. ‘Nothing, why?’ Kim grumbled in response with only a small glance in my direction, ‘Well I was thinking, maybe we could go out for dinner?’ I asked, stroking her arm gently. ‘Yeah sure’ Kim mumbled before turning back to the TV. I sighed, apparently that was the best I was going to get whilst she was in this mood.
I sat on the sofa a bit longer before I heard the doorbell sound in the background. I walked over to the door letting Nadine in, I hadnt even told Nadine that Kim knew so I was kind of dreading this meeting. Nadine followed me in the lounge, ‘Hey Kimba’ she smiled as I wondered in the kitchen to get us both a drink.

‘Don’t hey kimba me’ Kimberley snapped, I looked towards her, and it was obvious she was in a bad mood but I had no idea why. ‘Ok, what’s wrong’ I asked nicely. She glared at me before getting off the sofa, walking in my direction. ‘Whats wrong? What’s f***ing wrong’ she yelled, ‘as if you don’t f***ing know! You were supposed to be her friend supporting her, you were supposed to be my best mate but instead you were away f***ing her brains out! Now tell me what’s wrong’ she screamed. I had never seen Kimberley in such a state in all the years I had known her.
I looked to the floor before looking back up at her, ‘It wasn’t like that, it only happened the once, it was a mistake I swear’ I cried. ‘Oh so she was just a cheap s*** for you? Well News flash: Nadine, shes not just a cheap s***, shes my girlfriend and the love of my life, you knew I was still in love with her and you still f***ing did it! You broke my heart and lied to me, I’ll never forgive you for that’ she yelled before turning and storming upstairs, slamming the door behind her. I couldn’t believe it; I’d actually just lost one of my best friends because of my moment of weakness. I felt like sh!t! I just sat there with my head in my hands, tears rolling down my cheeks.
Cheryl walked back in and handed me a coffee, ‘Im sorry’ she whispered, ‘It’s ok Chez, she had a right to know especially now that you two are an item again, It’s my fault for not telling her sooner’ I sighed, planting a small smile on my face. ‘Its noones fault babe, she was gunna take it badly however she found out, whoever told her’ Cheryl smiled slightly. ‘Im just gunna go check on her’ She said beckoning towards the stairs. I nodded in response before taking a sip of my coffee.
Cheryl’s POV
I headed up the stairs and walked towards the closed door of Kimberley’s bedroom. I knocked, waiting for a reply, ‘Go away’ came the muffled sobs. My heart broke at the sound of her crying, knowing that it was my fault. I walked in anyway, Summer was laying one side of her and Kara on the other, I smiled slightly at the image before me. It was a sight I thought id never see, I knew now that I couldn’t take Kara back to America, I needed to make a go of it here. Kara and Summer smiled slightly before making their way out of the room leaving us alone. I scrambled onto the bed and wrapped my arms around her waist as she continued to cry. ‘I was wondering when you’d blow up’ I whispered into her ear as I wiped her cheek with my hand. ‘Im sorry, I just flipped’ Kimba wept. ‘Its ok babe, I understand’ I smiled before kissing her on the forehead. ‘Im so sorry Chez, it should be me looking after you at this time but instead im a broken mess’ she cried. ‘Hey, don’t worry babe, we can look after eachother, I knew youd react babe but I still told you’ I said, ‘hey, im glad you told me Chez, I love you’ she smiled a genuine smile. ‘I love you too’ I giggled as she gave me a peck on the nose followed by the lips.
After a few minutes of silence, I looked at Kimberley and asked ‘are you ok now babe’. She nodded in response before kissing me on the lips, before long our kissing had turned passionate and I found myself underneath Kims body with my hands wrapped around her body as her tongue slipped inside my mouth. I slid my hands down to rest on her bum as my tounge roamed her mouth. As my hands roamed her body, I knew one thing; I was ready and I wanted her bad. ‘I want you so bad Kimba’ I moaned through kisses, I rolled us over so that I was on top and slowly pulled apart in order to slip her top off and quickly stripping me of mine before joining our lips together again in another passionate kiss. I moved my hands around to the front of her body and started massaging her bra-clad breasts in my palms. I felt her pull away eventually before stating; ‘baby, Nadines just downstairs’, I looked at her and grinned before stroking the hair out of her face, ‘Don’t worry baby, I can be quiet’. She rolled her eyes, ‘I know for a fact you cant Chez but that’s not the point, later baby, im sorry, im not gunna do this whilst shes just downstairs waiting for you’ She cringed. I rolled off her onto my back and sighed before getting up to put my top back on.
‘Kimba I hope you know im so f***ing turned on right now and its all your f***ing fault’ I complained. She laughed as I frowned at her, ‘Oh im sorry baby, come here’ she smiled. I raised my eyes at her, ‘Uh uh, I don’t think so, if I come over there, that’s it, I wont be able to control myself’ I frowned. Kim cracked up laughing before putting her own top back on. ‘Im sorry baby, later I promise, we’ll have the whole night’ she smiled before kissing me on the lips. ‘But right now im gunna head over to Nicola’s because I still don’t think im ready to talk to Nadine right now, ok’ she mumbled before kissing me again. I nodded in response, ‘Ok baby, bye’ I finally said before following Kimberley to the door and kissing her again before heading back towards the lounge. Nadine raised her eyes at my flushed expression. I just bowed my head and remained silent before taking a sip of my drink on the table, ignoring Nadines smirk completely.
