Chapter 34: Chapter 34

CHERRY'S POV

The question he just asked me, echoes over and over in my head a million times.

"Um....." I don't know what to say, but I begin when suddenly my phone rings, interrupting me.

Looking up at him, I raise my hands in excuse and say, "Excuse me." and he just nods.

It's Jeanne calling, and I pick it up immediately, "Hey what's up?"

"Baby girl, how you doing." She asks me, "I'm doing fine and you?" I reply also asking, "I'm great, just wanted to let you know that I'll be coming back soon." She says and I chuckle.

"You better, you have no idea how I've missed you."

"Same here sweetie. So how's Jayson, how are the both of you coping?" She asks me and that's when I remember that I'm still in the room and he's probably listening to my side of the conversation.

I look up from my fingers, staring at him and just as I thought he's staring back at me, and feeling embarrassed at being caught I blush uncontrollably, and turn my face so he won't see it.

"Everything's fine." I say curtly and I guess she notices that I don't want to talk about it anymore, because she says, "Okay then, I'll call you later."

"Yeah, bye take care of yourself." I say and she blows a kiss through the phone and I smile as I disconnect the phone.

I place my palm on my forehead and rub it tiredly as I sigh.

Staring at my blank phone screen for a while, I don't know how to face Jayson again.

I finally take my face up and say to him, "Give me a minute to wash these dishes." He nods and I sprint out of there as fast as I can, not because I want to leave him or anything, but because I want to think, I have to think.

Gosh!!!

***********

Is she trying to ignore my question? Is she doubting me even after forgiving me as she claims? I think, and my head starts hurting again.

If she does not give me an answer, I'm going to ask her again, I'm not letting it of the hook.

My phone beeps, snapping me out from my thoughts.

I check my home screen and see it's Jeanne calling, and I immediately pick up.

She just called Cherry now I guess, and she's calling me, what is she playing at?

"Hello Jeanne." I say and I hear her chuckling on the other end.

What's amusing her? "Hi Jay, what's up?" She asks and I laugh, "Well, everything at the moment is a little bit good in Alice's wonderland."

"Wow, that's nice, tell me, gist me." He heard her say and he chuckled.

"For a start, she has forgiven me and we are talking amicably now."

"Really oh my, I can't wait to come home and see the both of you."

"Huh! What do you mean?" I ask, "Nothing." She replies sharply and I just say a silent okay.

"Bye, take care of yourself okay." She says and hangs up.

Standing up from the bed, I stretch, and walk to my door, intent on leaving and going to my room.

Turning back, I go to make the bed which I laid on and when I'm done I go to my room and take my bath.

Using the shower real quick, I wash my hair and my and my whole body with cold water and it feels so good on my skin, making me spend more time in the shower.

Coming out, I tie a towel around my waist, walking over to my bed side, I pick up another dry towel and start cleaning my dripping wet body.

Facing the mirror, back turned to the door, I slick my wet hair back with my palms, and I hear some noise as my door opens and from the mirror, I watch as Cherry comes in without knocking, sights me half naked and freezes.

................

She's drooling, and I chuckle quietly and don't even acknowledge her presence as I continue slicking my wet hair, flexing my back and acting oblivious to her stares.

'Yeah keep drooling.' I think to myself, smiling and I see her shake her head adorably again, as if dispelling some thoughts.

"Uhm, sorry. I..... I actually came to ask if you would like some homemade ice cream, I'm about to make some and I didn't see you in my room, so I decided to check here."

"Sure." I reply, "What flavor? Vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, banana or all of them mixed together like you normally preferred back then." She asks and my heart warms as I smile.

She still remembers little details about me and I'm flattered.

"Yeah, sure." I say and I catch her beautiful smile before she leaves and I'm tempted to call her back, taker her in my arms and kiss the loving hell out of her, but I know that's impossible and I watch her leave and sigh.

I cream my body, put on some clothes, and turn on my bedroom TV.

Sitting on my bed, I watch the program showing on it for a while, and sooner or later I become bored and decide to go check on Cherry and see what's she's doing.

I go to the kitchen straight as I guessed, and sure enough she's there, and interestingly she has her air pod on and is jamming to A very popular song.

I chuckle as I hear her sing loud, dancing and twisting her body sexily.

"Baby, baby, baby, oh like baby, baby, baby. I thought you'd be mine, I'm all yours baby, just accept me......"

Leaning by the door, I watch as she moves with so much grace, twisting and whining her waist so sexily I nearly become aroused.

I've always known her to be a good dancer, but she seems to have grown to become excellent.

She turns as if sensing my presence, and gasps as she sees me watching her and I smile.

Taking of her air pods, she asks, "How long have you been there watching me embarrass myself?"

"A while now, and you dance real good. No jokes here, so you are not embarrassing anybody."

Laughing she waves her hand at me, as if saying she doesn't believe a word of what I just said and I drop the topic, and she continues what she's doing.

"Should I come and help you?" I ask, "No, don't worry yourself. I'm almost done." She replies, not taking her eyes of her mixture.

"I'll be in the sitting room then." I say and she nods, and gives me a thumbs up.

...............

I keep watching the TV, and I don't know but it seems the movies playing today are not just for me as they just keep boring me out.

Deciding to check out some music videos, I look for some hip-hop stations and I see one playing a song I like, and I play it and increase the volume.

The song, blasts loudly on the speakers filling up the whole house.

Singing along to the music, I don't know when she runs in but I see Cherry come in, spoon and bowl in hand as she exclaims, "Oh my God! This is my song, I love this song!"

Without even waiting to see my reaction, or allowing me to say anything, she walks to the home theater, increases the volume of the music, places the spoon and bowl on the table and begins dancing crazily without shame or shying off as usual.

I smile as I watch her, and soon enough she begins showing of some sexy moves, whining and twisting her waist, and I watch in amusement and longing also.

I so want to join her.

As if reading my thoughts, she comes straight at me, still dancing and taking my free hands she drags me to the middle of the living room, and we begin dancing together and it feels so good, having her body in mine.

I don't want this to end...........
