At the time, Sherman put her arms around Kingsley's neck and rested her chin against his broad shoulder. She was honest, "It was half and half."
About the true half, it was that she really believed him; about the other half, it wasn't that she needed to wait for a popper time but that she didn't know how to say i t.
He smiled and lifted her up in his arms. She crossed her legs around his waist. The moment was so loving and warm.
"Come to my family house with me sometime, okay?" Kingsley asked, his long fingers going through her hair.
"Okay, I'm all yours.." Sherman was submissive this time. He had made great efforts to convince her. She wanted to please him, and she could feel his consideration.
When Natalie got home, she happened to meet Moriah in the living room. Moriah was angry. She asked Natalie, "How can you stay out all night for so many days? You just got married." "Don't blame me for everything, like it's all my fault.
Isn't Billy responsible as well?" Natalie was tired of Moriah's criticism.
"What is the thing? Can't you guys work it out? I don't care if you are in a fight, but I can't stand by if you stay out all night. And, watch your manners. You should be more polite. Don't you think so?"
It was still very early in the morning. The two were standing under the stairs quarreling loudly.
Natalie was in an awful mood, and so was Moriah. Both were furious and said nasty things.
While they were arguing, Billy came down the stairs. H e seemed to have just woken up, his hand rubbing his forehead.
Noticing Billy on the stairs out of the corner of her eye, Natalie changed her altitude and softened her tone. She apologized, "Moriah, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I won't be so reckless in the future. I will never stay out overnight again. I feel awful for fighting with Billy these days. I was out of my mind."
