Falling From The Floor

Sweet Wedding Rings 💍

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

(I FORGOT THAT CHERYL AND TONY WERE SUPPOSED TO EAT LUNCH WITH CAI 😐😂 Well, I'll do it the next day at school. Ugh.)

"Hey Cai." I said as I went into her room and sat down on her bed. "Hi." She said as she looked up at me and smiled. "How was your day at school?" I asked her as I watched her put her toys away. "It was better. Those girls are no longer in my class anymore. They moved them to the other classroom down the hallway. My teacher also talked to me and told me that everything would be fine now. She said that she would talk to you later." She said. "That's good, baby. Next time, talk to us." I said. Tony then walked into the room. "What are my beautiful ladies in here talking about?" Tony asked as he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Cai. "Talking." Cai said as she looked up at him. "We're just talking about school. They moved those girls to another room." I said. "Oh really." Tony said as he walked over towards her bed and sat next to me. "Yep." Cai said. "Well, do you feel more comfortable?" Tony asked her. "I do." She said. "You know that you might just have some more times that this will happen. You just gotta ignore people sometimes. Either way, Mommy and Daddy will help you out when that time comes." I said. "Right, and don't be afraid to speak up. We want to help you when these type of situations happen." Tony said. "I know Mommy and Daddy. We talked about this before...." she said in a whiny voice. "Well okay then, Ms. Thang. As long as you know." I said. Tony laughed. I shook my head. Tony and I then left Cai alone in her room to finish cleaning it up. "Hey, Cheryl- you're still gonna do BVM, right?" He asked me as he followed behind me. "Uh. I'm not really sure. I do but at the same time I'm not really feeling it right now." I said. "But-.....you had fun the other night and I knew that you enjoyed yourself. Plus, you're always at home taking care of Cai and doing all these things that I appreciate you doing while I work. You should do it. So, then you can chill on Monday nights and do the things that you love." He said. I went into our room and sat on the bed. "I'll think about it." I said. "You should continue." He said. "Okay, baby." I said as I nodded. The doorbell then rang. "I'll go open it." Tony said. "Okay." I said as I laid down. I heard Tony open the door and say a few things to the person. "Chery! Come here!" He yelled. I sighed and then got out of bed to see what the commotion was about. I walked downstairs and just when I got the the bottom of the stairs, I looked up. Shemar was in the doorway with his hands in his pockets. "Shemar?..." I said as I went over towards him. "Yep, it's me baby girl." He said. I gave him a hug. "I came back a little earlier." He said as he hugged me. "Why didn't you call me?!" I said as I punched him in the chest softly. He laughed. "I wanted to drop by and surprise you." He said as he smiled at me. "That's nice...." Tony said as he hand his arms crossed. "I also brought you this..." Shemar said as he dug into his pockets. I looked at him trying to find whatever is was. "Your wedding ring. You left it at my second house." He said. Tony just walked away. "Oh. My. Gosh." I said as I looked down at my hand and took it from him. "Well, I'm gonna make my way home. See you soon?" He asked me as he walked away. "Of course. Call me anytime. Thank you." I said as I smiled and closed the door. Tony walked back into the room. I smiled and put my ring back on my finger. "I didn't even realize-....." He said as he looked at my finger and walked into the kitchen. "Huh?" I asked him as I followed behind him. "Why didn't you have your wedding ring on?" He asked me. "I didn't know that I didn't have it on...."I said as I looked at him. "What? It just doesn't matter?" He asked me. "Yes, it does matter. I just didn't realize that I forgot it at the other house." I said. Tony stopped and thought to himself. "Cheryl.......the only time you take off your wedding ring is whenever we are about to-.....hold on." He said as he continued to think to himself. "We didn't-......no, we didn't." He said. Tony nodded his head. "Answer this question for me." Tony said as he looked down. "What is it?" I asked him. "Was Shemar over at the house with you a lot while you were staying in his house?" He asked me. "No....why did you asked that?" I said as I started to get nervous. "Cheryl, the only time you take off your wedding ring is when we make love. We never made love over his house......Why was your wedding ring off your finger when your husband wasn't there?" He asked me. "Tony, I just took it off one day and completely forgot about it. I also take it off when I'm cleaning up and stuff. You know this." I said. "Did you have sex with him?" He asked me in a straight forward voice. "Tony, listen-...." I said before he cut me off. "Did you or did you not have sex with him?" He asked me as he started to get even more upset. I looked away and took a deep breath. I looked down at my hands and then back up towards him. "It's taking you too long to answer..." He said as he started to get even more upset. I didn't say anything. "Did you like it?" He asked me as his eyes started to water. I started to cry. He awaited my response. "Yes. Yes....I did." I said as I looked at him. Tears just started to come. "Damnit, Cheryl!" He said as he hit the counter. "Just when we were getting better. You go and have sex with your best friend? While my baby is inside of you? We were-...." He said as he turned around and took a deep breath. "We we're separated....and you. You wanted payback, Okay. I knew it. The way he looks at you and the way he touches you." He said as he leaned on the counter and closed his eyes. "Tony, I'm sorry." I said as I wiped my face. "His hands are aways so fucking close to your ass. The damn way he smiles at you. He hit it." He said as he looked at me. I didn't say anything but I just looked at him. "He hit it..." he repeated. "We can never get better. It's just not gonna work. It's not. I'm tired and that-......that was the tie of it all." Tony said as he walked out of the room fast. I just started to cry because I knew that I hurt his feelings. I wasn't thinking that day. Shemar was there and he knew what I needed at that moment. He showed me the love that I needed and deserved. I don't know how we are going to get past this but....we might not. I just took the car keys and I left. I had to talk to Shemar.
