Falling From It Again

81

I promise you that it's taking FFTF so freaking long to hit 5k 😭

Cheryl's POINT OF VIEW

One of the best feelings in the entire world is laying your head on someone's chest, closing your eyes and listening to their heartbeat. It's like music; rhythm.

A heartbeat is the definition of purpose.
To remind us all that we're supposed to be here each...and every day.

We all have a purpose.

One of Shemar's purposes is to be apart of my forever.

I just laid my head on his bare chest, listening to the most sacred tune that he withholds inside of him.

Considering that the sun was rising, I didn't want to wake him. I softly rubbed his chest and hoped that he would continue to get the rest that he deserved.

As I then gently sat up, I looked at him and smiled.

My best friend but much more than that.
The man that I've always longed to be with.
The person who fills me in countless ways and makes me overflow with happiness that sometimes, I feel like I don't deserve.

I softly touched the side of his face.
Once I did this, his eyes fluttered open a bit.

"Good morning." He said as he reached up a bit and stretched.

"Good morning." I said as I placed my hand on his lower abdomen and watched him stretch. Once he felt like he didn't need to stretch any longer; he rolled over on top of me so suddenly and started to kiss my neck.

"Really?" I asked him as I laughed and felt his hands roam on my body. Once his warm skin touched mines, I remembered what happened last night and that we still weren't dressed from the events.

He then hovered over me and looked into my eyes for a moment with silence.

"So much happiness fills me when it comes to waking up with the woman that I love more than anything in this world...right here. With me." He told me. I smiled a soft smile as I continued to look into his warm eyes. "I love you." He told me as he kissed my forehead.

"I love you too."

He then went down towards my tummy and softly placed a kiss just right above my belly button. "Daddy love's you too, little one." He said in a sweet voice and it made me look down and giggle. "Even though he or she's probably, what? The size of a little acorn or something...I don't know." He then said as he laid next to me.

"Yeah, something like that." I told him as I covered my body and looked at him as he laid next to me.

"Stay with me for the day?" He asked me in a calm voice.

"I'd gladly." I told him as I leaned over and kissed him.

4 DAYS LATER- Thursday
Cai's POINT OF VIEW

They let me come home earlier than expected because they saw that I actually wanted to heal. Which, I do.

I was just happy to be at home and I was happy to see my family again.
