Falling From The Floor

Tell It All

SHEMAR's POINT OF VIEW

"So, Shemar, how have things been going? I know that you're about to do some big things pretty soon on the big screen. You excited?" The interviewer asked me on the red carpet.

I smiled my big, bright smile and licked my lips.

"Yeah! I'm definitely excited. I'm always hype about working on new projects. I took a break but I am definitely back ready to work." I said as I winked at the interviewer and stuffed my hands in my pockets.

"That's cool. Now, everybody is dying to know. Do you have a lady friend?" She asked me as she pushed the mic up close to my mouth.

I looked into the camera and raised my eyebrows and my shoulders at the same time.

"Well....I mean, I am engaged. So, yeah." I said as I nodded my head.

"Engaged?" She said in a shocked voice as she pulled the microphone from my mouth to now being towards her own.

"Yeah! She's gorgeous. We've been friends for the absolute longest. If you took a guess, you would probably figure it out. Super easy, only because she's literally my best friend. Glad to say that I've fallen in love with my best friend."

"Oh really now? Hmmm, just tell us."

I kinda hesitated to say because I wasn't sure if Cheryl wanted me to say. Why not though? The world should know and I'm not afraid to let them know either.

"Cheryl "Pepsii" Riley."

"Cheryl? Thanks For My Child?" She asked.

"Yep, that's my baby girl right there." I said as I smiled and fluttered my eyes at the many pictures that were being taken of me all at once.

"When are you two going to get married?" She asked.

"Alright, I-...I gotta go. See you all later." I said as I waved and started walking off.

The conversation was getting too deep and personal.

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW
2 Days Later

After kissing Tony the other day, I felt confused. Very confused. For now, I'm staying at my Mom's house until I know what I wanna do with my life for sure. I hate not knowing what I want because I'm a woman who always does.

Today, I'm taking my baby Cai out for snow cones and to the park. I knew that she misses her Mommy so much. Ciyle was back at my Momma's house and Cai always stays with her Daddy since Tony wants to take her to school. I miss my baby so much. I feel like she's getting bigger already and I've only been away from her for only 3 days. I love both of my babies to pieces but I had to be away from home for a while- Today I'm gonna explain that to her and help her to know that I'll be back soon. Tony told me that she's been sad everyday because I'm not there.

"What's wrong, baby?" I asked her as I sat opposite from her on a picnic table near the playground. She hasn't said a word ever since I picked her up. She ate her snow cone with a spoon and didn't look up at me.

"Sweetheart, you've gotta tell Mommy what you're upset about. How can I fix it if you don't, baby?" I asked her as I started feeling really bad. Seeing her this sad made my heart break within.
