"Told so many women we better as friends..."
SHEMAR's POINT OF VIEW
Once I made it to Toni's house, I rushed out of my car and closed the car door.
I lightly jogged towards the front door and before I could even pull my hand up to knock- Toni opened it.
"Shemar, just leave..." She told me as she stood there and looked at me as if she were disappointed in me beyond measure.
"Toni, just let me talk to her. That's all I need to do. I need to clear some things up and if I do that...then, maybe she won't be mad at me anymore..." I explained to her as I looked into her house behind her.
"Do you even know what people are saying about her? Do you know how she's feeling at this moment? She's feeling beyond embarrassed, Shemar. As a counselor and as a friend...you're out of line. You should've listened to her!"
"I KNOW THA—..."I said but I had to take a deep breath because the last thing I wanted to do in this moment was disrespect her by yelling. After my deep breath, I shoved my hands in my pockets and I looked at her. I made sure that my voice would from here on out be calm and decent. "Toni, I know that I should've listened to her but this isn't any of your business. This is a conversation that I need to have with Cheryl and not you. I respect that you're the counselor and the friend but your opinion isn't needed at this point. She is my woman, you here me? And I'm not about to let YOU or the media get into her ears. I'll be damned. Now, let me in, please. I need to speak with her" I told her as I was close to not being able to contain myself any longer. Soon, I would push this damn door open and unapologetically look for her as Toni yells for me to get out.
She looked me up and down. That's when I scoffed at her irritable actions towards me. "And who are you? I can protect her too. Like I said, you have an anger issue and you know it! Not only can you not control yourself on National TV but you also can't control your tone..."
I cocked my head back. "And what the hell are you? My Mother? Where is Cheryl? I'm done talking to you!" I told her as I placed my hand on the door and pressed against it to open it.
"She's not here!" She yelled at me as she removed my hand from the door.
"So, you had me talking to you all this time? Wasting my time? Really?"
"Yes. Now...leave, Shemar," Toni said as she then stepped back and slammed the door straight in my face.
I stood there staring at the door for a moment and then bit my inner cheek hard to where I could try my best not to blow up in this moment. One part of me wanted to yell and the other part of me wanted to cry. That's how upset I was at this moment.
After a moment of staring at the door, I then nodded my head to let go of the door slam that I just finished receiving.
I stepped away and started walking towards my car. As I did, I stared down at the ground and tried to find it in myself to do what was right out of all this. I just didn't know how to.
Once I got into the car, my phone started ringing. Thinking that it was Cheryl- I rushed to answer it without even looking at the called ID.
"Hello?" I said as I rushed to put my seatbelt on. It was Steven.
He was calling to get his job back but I quickly denied and hung up.
