The Lives We Live

Chapter 32

A Quick Chapter for the night! let me know what you think and I'll see you guys tomorrow!

Seven AM, the next morning, Cheryl found herself alone in bed. She frowned because she remembers that Toni was sleeping beside her. She sighed and wrapped her silk robe around her body and made her way downstairs. She found her boys and Toni sitting around the kitchen table, talking about football and airplanes. She smiled and decided to watch them for a few minutes,

"Toni?" Luke asked as he took a sip from his milk. "Do you wuv mommy?"

Cheryl's eyes shifted to Toni who was smiling at the boy. "I do little man, I love her so much. Do you love your mommy?"

Luke nodded repeatedly. "I do, she's da best!" He said happily.

Lucas then looked at the brunette, "Toni, A-Are we going to live here forever?"

Toni shrugged. "I don't know buddy, would you mind if you lived here?"

Lucas shook his head. "Noah and Norah are great, they play with us all the time."

"I will ask mommy tonight about that, for now, how about we go cuddle on the couch if you guys are done?"

The redhead then went back to the room not wanting to be spotted by her boys and Toni. She sighed thinking about what Lucas asked. She loves the brunette and the two teenagers. They warmed her heart from the day she spent with them at the park.

Back in the living room, Toni had both Luke and Lucas cuddled to her as they watched cartoons. About fifteen minutes into their activity, she looked at the boys who were fast asleep. She chuckled and shook her head, she then laid them both on the sofa and slowly covering them up. She kissed their foreheads and made her way up stairs only to find the redhead standing beside the large window and deep in thought.

"A penny for your thoughts?" She asked as she kissed Cheryl's neck and wrapped her arms around the redhead's waist.

Startled at first, Cheryl tensed up but leaned into the embrace and shrugged. "Thinking about how we came here, and when the divorce is final."

"Soon, I promise you that. Today my lawyer is dropping the papers to Diane. When is your meeting with Reggie for the papers?"

"It might take place within these coming two days."

The newspaper owner nodded. "Are we still on our date for tonight? I have a couple of things to talk to you about."

Cheryl turned around, still in the arms of the newspaper owner. "Where are you taking me?"

"That my love is a surprise. What are your plans for the day?"

The redhead sighed. "I might go check on Clair and Bee, I haven't seen them since I got here. What about you?"

"I have a meeting with the lawyer for the company. The papers are finally done."

"You sure there is no other way to save it?"

Toni shook her head and sighed sadly. "Not at all. It's time."

Cheryl nodded and kissed Toni's cheek. The newspaper owner looked at her with wide eyes. "Are you coming on to me again Cher? Damn, buy me dinner first."

The redhead giggled. "You are taking me out tonight," She stated. "Plus, if you play your cards right, you might get something special." She said winking.

Toni laughed. "I promised I won't touch you till our divorces are final baby,"

The redhead pouted. "Can't you break that promise? It's really hard stopping myself from kissing you."
