Falling From It Again

Forty 3

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

"You should have seen her face. She was so upset with me, Shemar." I told him.

He visited me at work.

"She'll forgive you, baby. She was just upset in the moment. It's not like Cai to do something like that. Maybe when you get home you can sit down, talk to her and let her know that you weren't late on purpose." He said as he moved behind me and started to massage my shoulders while I sat in my chair.

"Yeah...it's your fault anyways." I told him as I looked back at him.

"No, it's actually your fault because you made me wait. Its not my fault I went overtime." He said as he leaned down to kiss my cheek.

"Shemar, come on now! My child is upset with me and all you're-..." I said but he cut me off.

"Okay, Okay- you're right. My bad, baby. Look- try what I  told you to do and see how it goes, Alright?" He said as he looked at me.

"Okay. I guess I can try. I feel sick all over again. Maybe I should go to the doctor or something because it's just not going away at all and I'm tired of feeling like this." I said as I put my hands on my face.

"Yeah, I think that you should go to the doctor too. Get some medicine or something because I'm tired of taking care of yo Beautiful ass." He said as he laughed a little and sat in the chair that was in front of my desk.

"Whatever. You love taking care of me." I said as I shook my head at him and slightly smiled.

"More than anything." He said as he winked at me.

"I'll make me an appointment. Anyways, I need to finish up this work, baby. Thank you for visiting me today." I told him.

"Anything. Just let me know whenever you need me to come see you- I'll always come."

"I know that you will." I said as I stood up and walked over towards him. I then hugged him and gave him a kiss.

"You don't care who see's, huh?" He asked me.

"Nobody can see in here. Hush." I said as I hugged his neck once more.

"Alright, baby girl. I love you. See you later and have a good day. If that nigga gives you a hard time, call me. Or...you know where to find me." He added.

"Okay. I love you too." I said as I tugged at his shirt and bit my lip. He licked his lips and gave me another sweet kiss.

He then left out and I went back to getting some work done.

At dinner, everything was awkward. I felt like everyone in the house was upset with me...well, except for my baby boy.

Ciyle left to go put his plate away, then Cai....then Tony....all that was left at the table was me.

I wasn't even in the mood to eat anymore. I just pushed my plate away and pulled my phone out.

"Hello?" Shemar said as he answered.

"They hate me...." I said as I stood up and took my plate into the kitchen.

"Who does?" He asked me.

"Tony and Cai. They're not even glancing in my direction." I whispered as I started to clean my plate off in the sink. I added some soap and wiped it.
