Falling From The Floor

Only For Our Baby 😔

            CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

I walked down stairs to see my husband at the kitchen table eating his breakfast. I didn't want to talk to him because every time we talk, everything turns into an argument. That's what he loves to do- argue. I just went over the the refrigerator and got me something to drink. "Not gonna say Good Morning?" Tony said as he looked over at me. "No thank you. It's not a GOOD morning." I said as I closed the refrigerator. He just laughed. I sighed. "Why are you laughing?" I asked him as I looked up at him. He stood up and walked over towards me. "I can laugh at whatever I want to laugh at." He said as he looked at me with hurt in his eyes. I just looked at him and looked away. "Go and get dressed so that I can go pick up my baby girl." Tony said as he put his plate in the sink. "Why do you always talk to me like that?" I asked him. "You're my wife and I can talk to you in any way that I want to. Now, get up stairs and get dressed." Tony said as he started to get upset. I looked him in the eyes and realized that he wasn't playing. I went upstairs and got dressed. A few minutes later, Tony came upstairs. "Hurry your ass up! Shit!" Tony yelled. I walked past him and went downstairs. "You're annoying as hell but that ass is fat." Tony said as he looked at me. "I bet you won't hit anymore, either." I said under my breath as I walked down the stairs. "Yeah, whatever. I heard that." Tony said as he came down the stairs behind me. "You know what, you're going to stop talking to me like that. I am your wife and we talked about this respect mess over and over. I'm tired of it." I said as I opened the door. "Respect? Whatever, Cheryl. You better be happy that I'm still married to you because of my baby girl." Tony said as he got in the car. "Oh, so now you're basically saying that you're not in love with me anymore?" I asked him. "Nah, I'm just tired of arguing everyday over stupid mess." Tony said. "That's your ass. Drive so that we won't be late." I said as I put on my seat beat and pulled out my phone. Tony put on his seatbelt and then looked over at me while I was typing. "Who in the hell are you texting?" Tony asked. "Do you really want to know? Actually, why do you even care?" I asked as I looked up at him. "Probably texting other niggas." Tony said. "I'm not texting any nigga. I'm texting my Mother. I'm not the one around here that does the cheating and shit. If you hadn't cheated on me last year- we probably would be in a great place right now." I said as I continued to type. "You know what? Shut the hell up. Ok? My WIFE wasn't giving me the attention that I needed as a husband. Why? Because she only made time for everybody BUT me. That's why I cheated on your ass." Tony said as he started driving. "Tony, just drive. Go- I'm sick and tired of talking about this shit over and over. You don't care about my feelings anyways." I said as I almost started to cry but held it back.

               TONY's POINT OF VIEW

Cheryl was quiet the entire way to pick up our baby girl Caiya. She's only 5 years old and she is the goofiest little girl in the world.
"I'll go get her." I said as I got out of the car. "Umm k." Cheryl said. I walked inside and she was already waiting in the front for me. "Daddy!" She said as she ran and gave me a hug. I picked her up. "Wow. My baby girl is growing everyday. Hey baby girl!" I said as I smiled at her. "Where's Mommy?" Cai asked. "She's outside in the car. Come on." I said as I put her down and held her hand. I opened the door for her to get in the backseat and I buckled her into her seat. "Hey Mommy! I missed you." Cai said as she smiled really hard. "Awww, Mommy missed you too. How was your day?" Cheryl asked her. "It was good. I drew you and daddy a picture." Cai said as she took it out and showed me. It was a picture of Tony, Cheryl, Cai and a newborn baby. "Cai, is that a baby?" Cheryl asked. "Yes. I want a baby brother." Cai said in her cute and sweet voice. Cheryl looked at me and then gave Cai her drawing back. "It's beautiful, baby girl." Cheryl said. "Cai, I'm not sure that Mommy and I will ever have anymore babies." I said as I looked at her through the rearview mirror. "But I'm tired of being the only child and I want someone to play with at home." Cai said as she started to look sad. "Okay baby. We will think about it." Cheryl said as she once again got on her phone. Cheryl and I didn't argue in front of Caiya because we didn't want her to know that we had issues in our marriage. As far as Cai knows, we are happy and we love being with each other. We are trying to be the best parents that we can be for her but sometimes it's so hard to act like I'm still in love with Cheryl.
