Falling From The Floor

Its Not Allowed

            CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW.

I woke up and felt Tony's touch still connected to me. His arms were still wrapped around me and I had to admit- I was comfortable all night. Just having that man back taking care of me and loving me like I should, is just more than what I could ask for. He still smells like that same smell that makes me drift away when I'm deep in his arms. I felt his heart beating and I saw that he was sweetly asleep. I put my hand on his bare chest and I slowly slipped from under his arms. He woke up and looked at me. "Where are you going?" Tony asked in that sexy, sleepy voice. "I'm just going to the bathroom." I said as I stood up. "Oh, ok baby. Are you coming back to bed?" Tony asked me as he grabbed my hand. "I was just kinda hungry. Plus, Cai has to get up in 2 hours. I just wanted to get what I needed to get done out of the way." I said as I held his hand. "Baby, are you sure that you wanna take Cai to school? I can if you want me to." Tony said as he sat up. "Baby, I can do something sometimes." I said as I laughed a small laugh. "I know. I just don't want you to overwhelm yourself. Yesterday, you didn't really feel good." Tony said as he got out of bed and walked over towards me. "I'm fine." I said as I laughed. "Ok-.......ok, baby. Well, you know where I am if you need me." Tony said as he held my waist. "I will, baby." I said. I then went to the bathroom to get ready to take Cai to school in 2 hours. Tony jumped back into bed and tried to go back to sleep. After I got dressed and did everything else that I needed to do, I went downstairs to fix me something to eat. While I was eating, I checked a few emails and notified everyone that I was doing Black Velvet Monday tonight since it was Monday. I didn't tell Tony that I was going tonight but he will be alright. Most importantly, I need some fun time with my other family that comes out to join me. I stopped and thought to myself on whether or not I should go tonight, but I went through with it anyways. I then heard Tony coming downstairs. "I couldn't go back to sleep." Tony said as he came over towards me and gave me a hug from behind. "Well, do you want some breakfast?" I asked him as I smiled back at him. "Not now, baby." He said as he kissed my cheek. "Okay." I said as I ate some of my grapes. (Idk I just picked a freaking fruit.) "Why are you so short?" Tony asked me as he laughed a small laugh. "I'm not that short." I said as I turned around to face him. "It's still cute either way." Tony said as he kissed me. "Your lips are soft." I said as I turned back around and picked up my phone. "Ummm hmmm. They are." Tony said as he went over to the refrigerator to get something to drink. I was silent and continued looking on my phone while standing at the kitchen counter. "Cheryl." Tony said as he turned around to pour him something to drink in a cup. "Yes?" I said as I held the phone up kinda towards my face and looked up at Tony and then back down at my phone. "I know that you and Shemar are really close friends. It's just....an entire house, until....ya know?" Tony asked. I looked up again and looked at his bare chest and muscles. "Before-.....Tony, I just realized that. You're not cold?" I said as I looked at his chest. He looked down at his chest. "No....why?" Tony asked me as he looked up at me again. "Just asking. You don't usually have your shirt off." I said. "Yeah, but I'm going to need to put it back on when you go up to wake up Cai." Tony said as he started to drink out of his cup. "Correct." I said. "Only for my eyes to see...." I said as I smiled and looked back down at the phone. Tony raised his eyebrow and looked over at me. I just continued to look back down at my phone and acted as if I didn't say anything. Tony then came behind me and grabbed my waist. "You wanna know what else is only for your eyes to see?" Tony said as he licked his lips. "Stop." I said as I laughed and put my phone down. "What? It's true." Tony said as he came beside me and leaned on the counter. He then put his hand on my stomach and I turned a little for him to fully touch it. "Your baby bump is growing fast." Tony said as he then put both hands on my belly. "Not really." I said as I looked down at his hands softly touching me. "You know what we should do?" Tony said as he looked up at me from my belly. "What, babe?" I said as I looked down and smiled at him. "Baby stuff." Tony said as he bended down and kissed my stomach. "Baby.....it's too early for that." I said as I put my hand over one of his hands that was on my stomach. "I don't care. I'm excited and I wanna start now. I can't wait to meet my little prince or princess. I just wanna make my Queen ready and prepared." He said as he stood up and held my hand. "You're so sweet." I said as I smiled at him. "And you're..." he said as he kissed me. "So beautiful." He said as he then kissed me again. I just blushed and smiled at him. "Now, back to that Shemar thing." Tony said as he wrapped his arms around me. "Oh yeah. I don't know. He's just a true friend. I'm really the only friend that he trusts to actually stay here until I get things settled. I mean, it wasn't for a long time." I said. "I know baby but.....just saying. Having my wife living in another mans home because of me- is kinda embarrassing." Tony said as he looked at me. I was silent. "Look, baby. I'm coming home today. Then, you won't have to worry about me being in his house anymore." I said as I smiled at him. "Ok." Tony said. "Now, go. I'm about to wake up our Baby. Put your shirt on, Daddy." I said as I patted his chest. "Daddy? That's what you're wanting to call me now?" Tony said as he looked at me. "Nope." I said as I laughed a small laugh and walked away from him and towards the stairs. "Well, you have no choice now. You already said it and it's sexy when you say it." Tony said as he walked with me upstairs. I went to go and wake up Cai while Tony went to go get dressed for later on. Cai went to get ready and to take care of her daily things. After, she went to go and do that- I made her breakfast and I waited for her to come downstairs. While I was waiting, I got a call from Shemar. "Hey. I saw that you posted on Facebook and Instagram that you were going to do a Black Velvet Monday tonight." Shemar said in a happy voice. I looked to make sure Tony wasn't anywhere near me. "Yeah. Tonight at the regular time." I said as I whispered. "Alright. I'll be there." Shemar said. "Ok. See you then." I said as I then hung up the phone. "Heyyyy." Tony said as he came behind me and grabbed my waist. "What the fu-...." I said as I turned around really fast. "What?" Tony said as he laughed. "Stop popping up on me. You know that I'm from Brooklyn. You better be happy that I knew that it was your crazy self." I said as I went to put my phone in my purse. "Whatever. You didn't know that it was me. Where's Cai?" Tony asked me. "Ummm, upstairs still. She needs to hurry." I said. "I'll get her. CAIYA!" Tony yelled as he ran upstairs. A few minutes later, the two of them came from upstairs. Cai was yawning the entire way down the stairs. "Young lady, you're going to sleep early tonight. I better not hear about you sleeping at school other than during nap time, okay?" I told her as she went over to eat breakfast at the table. She nodded her head. I realized that my head just started to hurt out of no where. I went over towards the couch and sat down for a while and put my hand over my head. Tony looked at me. "What's wrong?" He asked me as he sat close next to me. "My head is just......hurting really bad." I said as I closed my eyes. "Let me take her to school so that you can rest." Tony said. "No, baby. I got it." I said as I stood up and collected my things. "Cai, baby....I'll be outside in the car when you're ready." I said as I looked at her. "Ok, Mommy." She said as she took another bite of her breakfast. "Cheryl." Tony said as he came behind me. "Be careful and text me if you need me. Or call me. Either way...I'm here." Tony said as he kissed me on my lips. "I will baby. Thank you." I said as I smiled at him. I left out and sat in the car- still checking emails on my phone. I then looked up and saw Cai running out of the house and into the car. "Lord, why is this child running all the time." I said to myself out loud. Cai hurried and jumped into the car. "Baby, there's no need to run all the time." I said. "Yes ma'am." She said in her cute little voice and struggled to buckle herself up. I looked back at her while she was struggling. "Hold on, Sweetheart." I said as I got out of the car and went around to the backseat to help her get buckled in her big girl car seat. "Thank you." She said in a cute little voice. "You're welcome, baby." I said as I smiled at her and then closed her door. I then came back on my side and got into the car. I made sure that I had on my seatbelt and then I then started to drive. "Mommy, are we going back home today with Daddy?" Cai asked me as she looked at me through the rear view mirror. "Yes. We are finally going home today." I said. "That makes me happy. Mommy...." Cai said as she played with a toy in her hand. "Yes, sweetheart?" I said as I continued to focus on the road. "I can't wait to see my little baby sister or brother." Cai said as she smiled really big. "I know. Mommy and Daddy are also excited. I'm happy that you're excited to finally be the oldest sibling out of my babies." I said. "I think that I will like being the oldest." Cai said as she looked out the window. "I think that you will like it too." I said as I smiled.

CAI's SCHOOL

"Ok baby, let's go." I said as I took Cai out of the car and grabbed her hand. "Mommy, can you eat lunch with me today?" Cai asked me as she looked up at me. "Um, not today, baby. Maybe another day." I said as I tried to rush inside her school. "But Mommy...." Cai said as she whined. "Hey now. Stop whining. Tomorrow, okay?" I said as I opened the classroom door. "Yes ma'am." Cai said as she made an upset facial expression. "Hey, Mrs. Riley- Grant." Her teacher said. "Hey, how are you?" I said as I smiled at her and helped Cai take off her backpack. "Good." She said as she smiled at me. I squatted down next to Cai. "Hey....don't be upset, okay? Mommy love's you so much and I want you to have a great day at school. I'll come and eat lunch with you tomorrow, I promise baby." I said as I re-tied one of her shoes because the laces were almost fully undone. "I love you too, Mommy." She said as she looked down at me tying her shoe. "Ok, now...Daddy and I both will be picking you up after school." I said as I then fixed her curly hair. "Mommy, I don't wanna stay. Can I just go home and be with you and Daddy?" Cai said as she made a sweet, sad face. My sensitive Mommy side just wanted to let her come home because of the cute, sad face that she was making that always helped her get her way. "Baby-.....baby, you're already here. Just try it out. If you aren't having a good day, just tell your teacher to call me. You will though." I said as I held both of her hands while still squatting down. "Ok, Mommy." Cai said as she kissed me on my cheek and walked away. "Ok, Sweetheart. I'll see you later, baby." I said as I stood up and waved at her. I continued to look out into the classroom to see where she was going to sit. She sat by a few girls and played with a few toys before the teacher came to start. "Excuse me. Cheryl? Can I call you that?" Cai's teacher asked me. "Sure." I said as I looked at her. "I need to talk to you about Cai." Her teacher said in a worrisome tone. "Ok. Is she doing ok?" I asked her. "Well, has she been acting differently while being at home?" She asked me. "No, she's very happy and active at home. Why?" I asked her as I started to look confused. "Well, recently- Cai has been getting bullied by a few girls in the class. She didn't tell you?" Her teacher asked. "Ummm, no. When did this happen? Actually-.....why is it ONLY up to my child to let me know this type of information? Shouldn't you have called me when this situation occurred and you saw it as bullying?" I asked while getting upset. "Ma'am. Please, let's step outside." She said. We then walked outside. "I apologize about not contacting you." The teacher said in a nervous voice. "Ma'am. With all due respect....let me know WHENEVER my child is in a situation that is this serious. This is nothing to play with. Bullying is serious these days." I said while trying to calm down. "Yes ma'am, we will handle the situation." She said. "Ok. I'm going to need for their parents to be notified. What sense does it make to notify the victim?" I asked her. "None, ma'am. We will get on it right now." She said. "Instantly or you will lose your job. I'll make sure of that." I said. She nodded and went back into the classroom. I made my way back to the car and called Tony. "Hello?" Tony said. "Tony, I was just told that Cai was getting bullied at school. Then this bitch has the nerve to ask has Cai brought it up. Like, aren't you the one that's supposed to call the parents when you see such activity? I'm over here upset as hell and I was trying to have a great day today. I don't fucking feel good and now I know why my baby doesn't wanna go to school because these little baby tramps are messing with her. Tony, this is kindergarten. How the fuck do these children know how to do this shit so early? She better make sure that this is solved or I'm-..." I said very angrily but then Tony stopped me. "Baby! They will handle it, okay? Let them do their jobs." Tony said. "Do their jobs? They're not doing what they need to do. They're just now telling me about this." I said as I buckled up. "Hey....hey, do not start that car yet. You're too upset and you need to think about the baby." Tony said. I sighed. I leaned my head back and looked at the ceiling of the car. I took a few breaths and calmed down. I then rubbed my belly and sighed again. "You're right, baby. I'll let you do what they should have done but it needs to be handled." I said calmly. "Right and if not...I'll go and make sure that it's handled correctly." Tony said. "Ok, baby." I said while starting the car. "Now, calm down and come home so that I can hold you." Tony said. "I'll be there in 20." I said. We then hung up.

Dear fellow reader's,

Please, if you know anyone who is getting bullied- tell somebody. There are ways to be protected by not being notified of who told. If you yourself are a victim of being bullied.....speak up and remember- suicide is NOT the best way. There's always someone to help....you don't have to be in that situation. Don't be afraid to tell because your happiness is important. Help others, please. Lift each other up and care. We need more helpers in the world. 💓 Share love and not hate. Also, my DM is open to anyone who wants to talk. I love giving advice! ✨ -Sorry if any mistakes.
