Falling From It Again

66

Excuse me😈*

CHERYL's POINT OF VIEW

The next morning, I woke up in Shemar's arms. That was the only thing that was soothing me at this moment...this headache surely wasn't.

I slowly removed Shemar's arm from around me and gently sat up in bed. I tried my hardest not to wake him up but with him, he wanted me to stay by his side.

He rushed to grab my hand. "Baby, you leaving?" He asked me in a sleepy voice. I looked back at him and shook my head no.

"I was just getting up to get me something to eat or something." I said as I softly smiled at him.

"No, no...I'll make you something. I'm getting up right now. I should have been up sooner to make you and Ma something but I guess I was too tired." He said as he let go of my hand and got out of bed.

"Shemar, no. I can make us something. You can go back to sleep." I said as I stood up and watched him throw a shirt on. He shook his head no the entire time I was talking.

"I got it, baby. Is there a reason as to why you're up so early?" He asked me as he raised his eyebrow.

"My Head is just hurting."

"What are you supposed to do about that? Take medicine or something?" He asked me.

I shook my head and laughed a little.
"No, Shemar. I can't take any medicine for 9 months straight. It wouldn't be good for the baby..." I told him as I started to make the bed up.

"Oh...well, I'm learning. This is my first baby..." He said as he started to look a little embarrassed.

"It's okay. You didn't know but now you do." I said as I continued to make the bed up. He then walked over towards me and softly pulled me away from the bed.

"Why are you always needing to do something? Let me take care of you like I've been doing ever since we were little kids in middle school and shit." He said as he held my waist. I looked up at him and then looked away. "Hm?" He asked me one more as he started smiling. Seeing him in the corner of my eye smiling automatically made me smile. "Remember when that one dude was messing with you in the 5th grade? That was the first fight I ever got into. All because I didn't like how he was treating my best friend..." he said as he then grabbed my hands.

"Yeah...I remember. You left school early with a black eye and your Mother was highly upset. You still won that fight though." I said as I laughed a little.

"Yep. Looking back, I didn't like anybody hurting you...and that still stands til this day." He said as he kissed my forehead. "Oh, and do you remember when some random girl in the 8th grade said to me "I'm your new girl best friend." and you walked up towards her and...boy, you were furious. You hated it whenever any girl tried to get close to me....I mean, you absolutely hated it. I had to calm you down and remind you that nobody could take your number one spot. You were my only girl best friend..." He said to me as he continued to smile.

"I was very, very upset that day. Yep, I remember. High school was different for us though. We hung out so much that everybody thought that we were dating. We always looked at each other and rushed to shake our heads. We thought that we could never be together because we just had too good of a friendship to risk." I said as I smiled up at him.
