Falling From It Again

Twenty 6

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

(FAWK. I forgot what Inaya's man's name was. Damnit. Oh well- imma make up a new one.)

"When are you guys getting married?" Inaya asked Shemar. We were all gathered together in Shemar and Lorah's house just talking and enjoying each other's company.

"June 7th." Lorah said as she smiled over at Shemar. Shemar smiled back at her and nodded his head.

"Hmm, you guys have a few more months. I'm so happy for the two of you." Inaya told me. Inaya already knew what was going down between Shemar and I. She knew it all....

"Yes, Tony and I are happy for you guys as well." I said as I tilted my head and smiled at fake smile at her. Lorah slightly rolled her eyes and looked back at Shemar.

"Anyways, I know that I've been away and out of town. However, I'm happy that Shemar took good care of himself while I was away." Lorah added as she took a sip of her drink.

"I couldn't do it all by myself. My best friend helped me." Shemar said as he looked over at me.

"Oh really?" Lorah asked as she looked back and forth between the both of us.

"Yes. That's what best friends do. Take care of each other. Considering that you only have ketchup and Coffee in your kitchen...seems like his woman doesn't know how to cook. Humph." I said as I shook my head and looked away.

"Babe...really?" Tony said as he looked at me.

"What, baby? I'm just saying. WHAT woman would leave her man at home with an empty refrigerator?" I said to Tony. "Baby girl, I think that you need to reevaluate yourself because trust me...no man wants a woman whom can't cook nor be able to provide the unforgettable intimacy experience for her man in bed." I told her. "You do neither." I added.

"Damn..." Inaya said as she sat back and bucked her eyes.

"Well then...Cheryl, I don't understand why you're so in your feelings? I guess that's just your insecurities talking..." Lorah said as she pulled her dressed down a little bit.

"And maybe that's your wide ass vagina smelling like fish and eggs. Keep your legs closed. What is Shemar? Like the 25th man that you've let fuck? " I told asked her. Inaya immediately started laughing. "Shemar, come on, best friend- you could have chosen better. I mean come on, what is it?" I said as I looked Lorah up and down.

"You're hilarious, Cheryl. Maybe if you mind your own business and stop acting like you wanna fuck my man...maybe we could be friends right now." Lorah said.

"Maybe I could do it better than you could anyways, sweetheart." I said as I tilted my head at her.

Shemar almost choked on his drink.

"Oh, shit..." Inaya said.

"Hey, Hey! Calm down!" Tony said to me. I sighed and looked away. "You really gonna disrespect me like that?" He asked me.

"Look, baby- I didn't mean to say all of that. She just-...." I said but Shemar cut me off.

"Your wife can say whatever she wanna say. You should calm down....Mr. Grant." Shemar said as he looked over at Tony.

"Man, this is between me and my woman. Handle yours and I'll handle mines." Tony said as he turned towards me.

"What do you mean handle? You hitting women now, Tony?" Shemar asked Tony. "Huh? You hitting my best friend?" Shemar said as he leaned forward on the opposite couch that was adjacent from Tony and I's couch.

"What the hell? I would never hit my wife. You know my better than that. Don't front." Tony said as he gave Shemar a look.

"I'm just saying. You acting like you wanna hit her." Shemar said as he lightly laughed.

"Shemar...Tony would never." I said to Shemar.

"Maybe we should go, baby." Inaya said to her husband Stewart.

"Yeah, maybe you should. Maybe all of you should get the hell up outta here." Lorah said as she stood up.

"Let's go." I said to Tony as I stood up too. We all left before it could get even worse.

"What the hell was that back in there? Did you even hear yourself? I don't know what it is about you Brooklyn women but once you get mad- your mouth goes nuts. You just say whatever comes to mind, huh?" Tony said as he started driving away.

"She'll be alright. I mean, what I said was possibly true- Im good at m-..." I said but Tony stopped me.

"STOP! That's her husband and you really said that to her face? You both are grown ass women and you can't come together to be happy for Shemar. I don't know what you've done with my wife but you're not her right now."

"Of course because I'm still in my Brooklyn mode." I said as I smiled a fake smile at him.

"Alright, man. Let me take you home because you're just-..." He said but I cut him off.

"IM WHAT TONY?" I yelled at him.

He just shook his head and continued to drive. "You're gonna stop yelling at me like that." Tony said as he quickly looked over at me.

"Just take me home." I said as I sighed.

"Damn Cheryl. Yeen have to talk about the girls vagina like that." Inaya said as she laughed over the phone. I was laying in bed while Tony was checking on the kids.

"Girl, I-...I blacked out. I was so upset and I don't even know why. Just the way she-...ugh. I hate it." I said as I shook my head and looked up at the ceiling.

"You both crossed some lines. You know damn well that you having sex with that man and you're now going for Lorah's throat."

I sighed.

"I need to stop. I'm just gonna stay away from the girl. She doesn't know me and she's just a little opportunist- watch." I told Inaya.

SHEMAR's POINT OF VIEW

"You both need to apologize to each other." I told Lorah as we started to clean up after our...failed attempt at a fun night with friends.

"I don't wanna apologize to her. She's just jealous and she has been acting like a fool ever since she and I met. You see it." Lorah explained to me.

"I know but come on, baby. Apologize for me?"

"No." Lorah said in a firm voice.

"Baby, come on! I need my soon to be wide and my best friend to be friends." I told her as I hugged her from behind.

Lorah sighed.

"Fine. Only for you." She told me. I gave her a kiss.

"That's my girl." I said as I let her go and smacked her on the ass. "Tomorrow, Alright?" I said to her. She nodded her head and left out of the living room.
