Chapter six

Darrel's POV

I got home and went straight to my room. I flung the door open but I froze at that point because of what I was seeing in front of me.

I gaped at Cheryl as she stood in my room in her office pants and her vest over her head. She recovered from her shock and shot me a smirk😏

"Eyes up here Mr!" She deadpanned and I came back to my senses as I did a swift turn ; facing the door

"I swear.. I-I-did-didn't know you were here. I wouldn't have entered" I stuttered. This is so humiliating.

I've never stuttered. Ever.

"It's....fine I guess... maybe the kids made a -mistake and brought me here" she said calmly

"I'm going down so you can change" I said and moved out quickly. I must admit.... it was really awkward, because I didn't mean to see her like that. I meant it but FUCK! She looked so inviting! The way her bra did so little to cover her glorious breasts— am I really thinking about her like that?

I went downstairs to find the kids having a pillow fight " hey dad!" They greeted when they saw me and Bennet scratched his head nervously.

So he was the culprit....

"Where's the lady?" Brenda asked

"Her name is Cheryl!" Bennet shot at his sister who rolled her eyes back at him

"Probably changing" I replied and she huffed

"Bennet??"

He knew what I wanted to say

"Sorry dad...I didn't mean to break your rules" he said in a hushed tone and my heart clenched when he bowed his head in shame.

He was trying to play Cupid and I'm not mad?wow

"Come here" I said with an outstretched hand and he took slow steps towards me. "Go already!" Brenda being the impatient one,pushed him towards me.I glared at her and she mumbled a 'sorry' to her brother.

"Hey..... I'm not mad at you.okay?" I said softly and he nodded

How can I be mad when I got to see a perfect picture in my room? Hell no!

I heard footsteps from behind and I turned to see her in my wife's sweatpants and the top I noticed on my bed.

I didn't get to give it to her....

She felt my stare and smiled nervously "I don't know where my bags were so I decided to borrow your sweatpants. Hope you don't mind?"

I'd love to see you in my borrowed shirt instead

"Oh not at all! I'm not bothered...." I drawled . She smiled and I saw the turquoise gleam in her eyes for a split second when Brenda suddenly spouted.

Okay I think she got too much attitude from me.....

Her smile faltered and I could swear I saw hurt flash in her eyes. Bennet's stomach suddenly growled and his cheeks tainted with pink when I saw Cheryl smile at him in amusement.

"I think I have to make something quick for them. I hope it's okay?"

"Sure!"

"Whatever!"

"Yayyyyy!!"
