Chapter eight

Darrel's POV

I broke the sexual tension that lingered because I could swear I wouldn't be able to control myself anymore if it continued.

"The kids might be hungry" she said nervously.

I made Cheryl Coleman nervous...can I relive this day???

"Um yeah...I'm going to leave you to do your thing. If you need anything just call out to me"

"Copy that sir"she said seriously

"Right" I mumbled

I left the kitchen and went to my room. I could still smell her body spray in the room and I couldn't help but think about what happened few minutes ago.

I got out of the shower after taking a long cold one because I couldn't seem to get the woman downstairs out of my mind and it did things to me. I mean... she seduced me without even trying and not that I'm complaining...but I still wonder how she does it just like Kendra.

I'm not comparing them but she does it better than Bianca. Period.

My stomach growled as I descended to the dining area and it got louder when I got closer.

Feels like I haven't eaten in ages

Brenda and Bennet were already seated so I joined them and Cheryl came with a bowl of mozzarella cheese. She served Bennet who beamed throughout and Brenda who spouted but later smiled when she added extra cheese to her spaghetti

"She made it just like mom does!" She squealed and to say I was surprised would be an understatement. Ask me why...

Because Brenda never mentioned anything about her mother. Ever.

I was lost in thoughts throughout the meal and I couldn't help myself from stealing glances at this woman. Just who was she??

After the meal, Brenda helped Cheryl with the dishes which was another shock.

Trust me I want my old Brenda back....

The duo went to bed shortly after she escorted them to their room

I can't say I'm not impressed with her....because she managed to get the kids on her side without even trying!!!

"Darrel!"

"Uh...yes? You were saying?"

"I asked why you don't have maids around" she said with an unimpressive look.

I can't believe I zoned out

"They're around...they would have come if you couldn't handle stuff on your own"

Her mouth formed an '0' as we walked back from the kids room.

"This is your room"

I said when we stopped by one of the doors.

"Oh....okay...."she mumbled and I stared at her with amusement all over my face.

"What?" She snapped

"You sounded like you wanted to share a room with me" I teased and she rolled her eyes.

"You wish!" She scoffed and pushed the door open.

"This is nice. Thank you so—why are there two connecting doors?"

"Who said they're—" she shot me a "don't-mess-with-me" look and I dropped the jokes

Don't laugh...she looks beautifully scary right now

"Well....one connects to the kids room and the other connects to my room"

"Great....don't come sneaking in here else I'll punch the living daylight out of you. Goodnight" she said and practically shooed me out of 'her room'

I laid on my bed and thought of everything that happened today. And trust me, I wish things would be like this forever.

But forever is such a long time....

I said as I drifted to sleep

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I groaned when I heard continuous knocking on my door.

Can't the person go away already??

I got up and went to open the door only to find Cheryl dressed for work. I think she wore a green shirt or something...

Too sleepy to check her out...

"Where are you going?" I asked lazily as I rubbed the sleep off my eyes.

"To work...today is Friday and—"

".....and I normally come to work after eleven am...forgotten?"

Her eyes widened in realization and I couldn't help the smirk forming on my face.

"Omg I'm so sorry!!! Sorry sorry for waking you up!!" She apologized profusely and I even felt bad

"It's fine....by the way where are the kids?" I asked to take her mind off the apology.

"Oh...they're gone already...about an hour now" she said while glancing at her wristwatch.

It's definitely Kendra's type. Expensive...

Great..since you're already dressed, I think we should have breakfast outside today. What do you think?"

Please don't let her reject it.....

"Sure!! Not a problem at all...I'll be in my room so hit me up when you're done" she sent me a wink and sashayed gracefully to her room.

Seeing her face every morning won't be bad...

I put on my favorite outfit after freshening up and headed over to Cheryl's room where she was busily typing away whatever it was on her laptop. I cleared my throat and she looked up

"Shall we?" I said with a smile

"Yes please. After you...I'll be down in a while" she said, while she wrapped up whatever she was doing.

She came few minutes later and I drove us to the Rose 🌹 and tulips 🌷 breakfast....

An unaware breakfast date....
