Falling From The Floor

Always Playing

             CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

"Stop doing that..." Shemar said as he started to laugh. "Doing what?" I asked him as I laughed and finally gave him a kiss after he asked for one 3 times already. "Thank you." He said as he broke the kiss and smiled down at me in bed. I laughed a small laugh at him. "Second round?" He asked me as he started to kiss my neck. "No...." I said as I bit my lip. "Fine. Next time..." He said as he laid next to me. I turned my head to look at him as I kept my body covered. "You're perfect, you know that?" He said as he looked at me. "No, I'm not." I said as I looked down and grabbed his hand and held it. "To me you are." He then told me as he pulled me close to him. "You're a great woman and I've always thought that ever since we first became friends. I've wanted you ever since then too." He told me. The thought of that made me smile. "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked him. "And why didn't you also tell me?" He asked me as he wrapped his arms around my body. "I didn't think that you wanted me to actually be your....girl friend. Then, Tony came along. So, I fell in love with him because I knew you didn't want me. I guess I didn't have the guts to actually talk to you about it because I was nervous. Even though you knew a lot about me- you didn't know that I actually fell in love with you." I told him. "I was scared to tell you, honestly. I was just about to talk to you about it but that's when you told me that you and Tony were a thing. I didn't know what to do. I missed my chance. Then I remember you telling me that you were marrying him and then...that you two were having a baby. I don't know why but when you told me that you were having Cai- I felt like I officially lost you. I kept loosing you too." He told me. "You and I were just young. We didn't know how to speak up about how we felt about each other." I said. "I'm happy that we did now though." He said as he pulled me on top of him and held my body close to his. I laughed at the way he held me close to him. "Stop laughing and acting like you weren't just on my d-..." He said but I shut him up with a kiss.

    
                        MOMENTS LATER

"Cheryl, you got any of my clothes over here?" Shemar asked me as he finished taking a shower and walked out of the bathroom all while wrapping the towel around his waist. "Uhmm, I have a shirt for you to wear." I said as I went to go get him one. He nodded and stood there In the middle of the room waiting. "Here." I said as I brought him a shirt and handed it to me. "Is this mines?" Shemar said as he took it from me. "It's yours..." I told him. "You're right." He said as he dried his chest off and put on the shirt. "I'm about to get going in a few." He said as he finished getting dressed. I then heard Ciyle crying and so I went to go get him.

"Mommy's here." I said as I picked him up and gave him a kiss on his little forehead. I then started to change his diaper and put him a onesie on. "I have somebody who wants to meet you, baby boy." I told him as I walked into the bedroom. Shemar was sitting on the edge of the bed and looked up from putting his shoes on. "There he is." Shemar said as he started smiling really big and walked over towards us. I smiled down at Ciyle as his little eyes looked at Shemar and he suddenly started smiling as well. "He smiled at me." Shemar said as he laughed a small laugh and put his hands in his pockets. "Can I hold him?" He asked me as he looked at me. I nodded my head and slowly put him into his arms. The way that Shemar looked at him, showed that he loved babies as well. He practically spoils Cai already and he's probably going to do the same thing for Ciyle. "He's so small and cute." Shemar said as he looked up at me. I smiled and took out my phone to take both of them a picture together. "Smile." I said to Shemar as I positioned my phone to take a picture of them together. "Pictures? Really?" Shemar asked. "Yes!" I said as I smiled at him. I then took a picture of them. "He's not even crying or anything. I remember the first time I held Cai- she wanted to get away from me. She hated me as a baby." He said as he laughed. "Yeah....she did and I don't know why because she adores you so much now." I said as I touched the baby's little fingers. Shemar then got silent. "I want us to be a family...." Shemar then said as he looked up at me. "A family?" I asked him. "Yes, a family. You do love me don't you? I mean, why wouldn't you? After what we just did and you and I both know that it was more than just sex." He told me. "I know that it was." I said as I agreed. "Think about it, Alright?" He then said as he came over to kiss my forehead. He then gave the baby to me. "I gotta go. I've already been here for too long. Call me tonight." He told me as he gave me a hug. "Okay..." I said as I gave him a kiss. He then left.

I don't even know what I'm getting myself into. Am I making the right choices? I do love Shemar though and that's never going to change. How am I going to tell Tony? How am I gonna explain this to Cai? What am I even doing?

   CAI AND TONY COME BACK HOME

I heard Tony and Cai come back home as I was in the kitchen making Ciyle's bottle. "Your Daddy and you big sister are back home." I told him as I smiled at him. "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" Cai said as she ran into the kitchen and gave me a hug. "Did you have fun?" I asked her as she stopped hugging me. "Yes but Daddy had more fun than I did..." Cai said as she looked back at Tony walking into the kitchen. "Oh really?..." I said as I squinted my eyes at Tony. Tony smiled a nervous smile and started tickling Cai. "You weren't supposed to tell her that!" Tony said as Cai started laughing during their tickling moment. I laughed at the two of them. "I'm happy that you two both enjoyed yourself." I said as I watched the both of them. "Daddy, Stop." Cai said as she continued to laugh. Tony then stopped and laughed at her. "Alright, baby girl. Go and get your stuff ready. You need to get in the shower and wash your hair." I said as I looked at her. "Yes ma'am." She said as she ran upstairs. "That was fun. Her and I haven't had Daddy and Daughter time like that in a while. She smiled the entire time and that's how I knew that she enjoyed herself." Tony told me as he looked at me. "What'd you do while we were gone? Did you miss us?" Tony asked me. "Oh nothing really. I put Ciyle down for a nap and he kinda just woke up." I told him. Tony then smiled at Ciyle. "My handsome little man." Tony said as he leaned over to kiss the baby's forehead. Tony then lifted his head up to give me a kiss. I slightly moved my face and acted like I was about to sneeze. "You good?" He asked me. "Yeah, I just felt like I had to sneeze..." I told him. "Oh, alright. Well- I'm about to go and get in the shower and stuff. I'll be back." He said. I nodded my head and watched him walk away.

I couldn't let him kiss me. Especially with knowing that Shemar just finished kissing me and much more...
I don't feel like myself anymore. Mostly, because I'm lying to my husband.

               TONY's POINT OF VIEW

That kiss thing was awkward but I let it go. As I made my way upstairs, our bedroom was super clean. I mean, the bed and everything was super clean. Not one crease in the bed and the bathroom was spotless as well. It looked damn good in here. Too damn good. I didn't really think much about it because maybe she was just so bored that she cleaned up. Plus, the baby was asleep and she could have just used that free time to get ahead on some cleaning. She's never done this before but today was a new day...
