Meeting My Love

Chap 17

Sherri P.O.V

Teri is acting strange. Did I do something?

I mean the only thing I did was talk to Kamar. Is she mad about Kamar? I wouldn't do that to her.

I wouldn't cheat with Kamar. I grabbed her right hand and held it.

She didn't look at me and smile, she just kept looking forward.

"Polo did I do something? " I asked.

She looked at me for once and smiled the fakes smile I have ever had the displeasure of seeing. "No. I'm fine. "

We pulled up at my house and she went for the door handle but I locked the door. She's bringing me home? Wow.

"Talk and stop keeping your feelings locked up. Please." I begged.

"Sherri I'm-"

I cut her off. "Fine yeah I know."

I grabbed my phone and purse, and got out the car, getting my keys ready. I put the keys in my door and I heard her shut a car door.

Probably mine since I left mine open.

I put the keys in the door and was closing it rather quickly when she opened it.

I walked straight to the kitchen and sat down on one of my benches and put my head down.

I felt her sit by me. That familiar smell told me she was next to me.

She sighed and I spoke. "You know Teri you stress me out when you don't tell me what's wrong so I can fix it." I answered with my head still down.

Her hands starting playing in my curls before she answered. "Because sometimes I fell like you have a lot on your mind like Kamar."

I felt her get up. Kamar. Kamar?

I looked up and she was heading towards the door. I got up and ran to catch up with her.

I grabbed her arm. "Teri Polo we need to make some promises."

She looked back at me. "What are these promises Sherri?"

"One being that we cannot walk away from our problems. Deal?" I asked.

She hesitated before taking her hand off the door. "Deal."

I pulled her back into the kitchen and she sat at the stool. I sat on my counter, the opposite side of her.

"Why did you say Kamar?" I asked worried about her response.

"At first, I didn't think much of him Sher. He's your ex, so when he called I was like okay, he's just calling. Jamie's my ex and we talk all the time. But then Bradley and Peter got into my head. Espically Peter, telling me that you used to go back to Kamar a lot. I just- I don't know I was scared I was going to lose you." She answered tears going down her cheeks.

I hopped off the counter. I hugged her. "Oh Polo. Don't cry. I'm not going anywhere no time soon. Except for tomorrow I have to go to the store. But that's it."

My comment made her laugh. She wiped her tears. "Sorry I didn't mean to cry."

"Don't apologize for speaking your feelings Ter. I mean sure Kamar and I have had our fair number of coming back to each other. But that was only because I thought that was the only love I deserved. Then I met you, and I realized I deserved much more." I tried to cheer her up.

She got up and nodded. "Yeah thinking about that I shouldn't have doubted you. Welp."

She walked out the door and I stood there. Did she just walk out? I heard her car door open and walked to the door.
