Falling From The Floor

We've Gotta Stop

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard Ciyle crying up a storm. Tony was still fast asleep. He was a deep sleeper and I was the light sleeper one. How wonderful? I slid from underneath his arm and slowly got out of bed. As I did so, Tony turned the other direction in bed and grabbed his pillow to replace my body with. I went to go put Ciyle back to sleep and then made my way back to bed. I felt so sluggish. I was tired and I could never rest the way that I wanted to because there was always something dragging me down. Either it was because I was a Mommy or a Wife. To titles that I had requirements to do. Being a Mom was the hardest- they needed you for every little thing. I laid back down in bed and looked up towards the ceiling.

I need to stop it. In that shower I was getting scared and weak but I need to stop letting it all get to me. I'm a grown ass woman and I can make up my mind. I hate that when I start crying, I say things that don't fit me....or many they do fit me?

SHEMAR's POINT OF VIEW

After what happened yesterday at Club Groove...I couldn't stop thinking about it....about her. The pain that I felt in my chest as I let her walk out that door to go home to Tony. The type of frustration that I feel is above and beyond through the roof. I tried to hold myself back that night at Club Groove but I couldn't control myself around her. It's like I'm addicted to her...to her taste. The way Inaya looked at me when I walked up behind Cheryl was slightly amusing. I wonder if the two of them talk about me- I wonder if she tells her that she misses me? I've never been a man to break up a married but when it came to Tony and Cheryl? I didn't give a damn. Cheryl has been whom I've wanted for so long. I've given her hints and much more ever since we first started being friends. I was just young and not man enough to speak up and tell her that I want her. I should have been done it. I remember when we kissed for the first time and we both didn't know how to act after that. Best friends kissing? Shouldn't be happening.

"This is a dumb ass movie, Shemar." Cheryl told me as she laughed and stood up from my couch to go get something to drink out of the kitchen.

"Aye, I love this movie. Hush." I told her as I watched her get up and leave.

It took a moment for her to come back from out of the kitchen.

"Cheryl, you're gonna miss the best part." I said as I ate some popcorn and kept my eyes glued to the screen.

"I need help opening this wine bottle." I heard her yelled from in the kitchen. I sighed, stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Why in the hell are you trying to drink wine with me during a movie? You're very confusing Cheryl Ann." I told her as I entered the kitchen.

"Who said that I was gonna bring you some? This is for me!" She said as she cleaned out a wine glass and sat it on the counter top. I pulled the wine closet to me and got the opener out.

"Just because of you we are missing the best part. With your short ass." I said as I laughed while opening the wine for her.

"Aye, just because I'm short...it doesn't mean you can make fun of me. With yo long neck ass." She said as she giggled to herself. I stopped trying to open the wine and looked up at her with my mouth dropped.

"See..." She said as she pointed at me.

"I outta not even open this for you now. My neck is not long." I told her.

"Uhmm hmm." She said as she smiled that cute closed smile of hers. I opened the wine and walked over towards her with it. I took her glass and poured until she told me to stop.
