Falling From It Again

Sixty 5

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

After earlier today, I didn't even know if Shemar would want to talk to me. He thinks that I actually went through with it but I didn't. I couldn't.

I knew that his Mom would be over his house and hopefully he wouldn't make a scene.

Once I made it there, I waited for somebody to open the door.

It was Shemar's Mom who opened the door.

"Hey, Ms. Marilyn." I said as I smiled at her.

(I finally figured out his Mother's real name. Aha.)

"Hey, Cheryl. Come on in!" She said as she pulled me inside.

"Where's Shemar?" I asked as I looked at her.

"He should be at the table eating dinner. He told me that you canceled on us."

"Oh, no ma'am. I didn't." I said. Why would he tell her that?

"That boy. Anyways, come on. He should be happy to see you." She said as she led me towards the dining room.

Once I appeared in the dining room, Shemar looked up from his plate and looked at me.

He sighed to himself and stood up.

"Momma, why did you let her in?" He asked her.

"Shemar, let me talk to you, please." I said as I started to feel bad. I knew that him not knowing the truth was eating him alive.

"Why?"

"I need to explain what happened between us earlier, baby." I said as I started to play with my hands.

"Well, you guys are already deep in this. Shemar...talk to her. She is carrying your baby and she loves you." Marilyn said to him.

"Come on. Let's go upstairs to my room, I guess." He said as he just walked past me and ran up the stairs.

I mouthed "Thank you" to Marilyn for helping me to get Shemar to talk to me.

Once we made it upstairs towards his room, Shemar sat on the edge of his bed and looked at me.

"How was it? Did you like it?" He asked me.

"I didn't do it. I tricked him." I said as I sat down next to him and smiled. I heard him let out a sigh of relief after I had told him that.
"I wouldn't do that to you." I said as I put my hand on his thigh. "You told me to play the part and I did." I said as I lightly laughed.

"I did. You fooled me. You crying is what made me really believe that you were actually gonna fuck that man." He said as he laid down on his back and looked at me. He then placed his hand on my back and rubbed it.

"I'm an actress. What can I say?" I said as I looked back at him.

"A damn good one too." He said as he folded his arms behind his head.
