“What???”
“I'm only saying you never know,” Cheryl said with a smile.
“Okay, spill it!” Stephen demanded. “What aren't you telling me?”
“Only that I occasionally get a call around two a.m. from a blocked number, and when I pick up the phone, there's only music playing in the background.”
“And you think it's Randy?” Stephen asked breathlessly.
“I know it is,” Cheryl said smugly. “The music playing is always the same song, Usher's âHere I Stand.' The same song that was playing the day Randy and I met.”
“Oh, my God,” Stephen gushed. “And on your wedding day. That's so romantic!”
Cheryl was about to say something, but was interrupted by a buzzing sound. “Stephen, I gotta go.”
“Butâ”
“Love ya!” Cheryl hung up, and walked into the bathroom and turned off the battery-powered time setting on top of the toilet seat, then picked up the white strip next to it. Looking at the blue plus sign in the little round window, Cheryl smiled and said:
“Bingo!”
It had to have happened that last night they'd spent together, when their lovemaking was exactly that . . . lovemaking. Cheryl felt warm all over simply thinking about the quiet passion they shared, and the way Randy had slowly kissed her over and over, telling her how much he loved her. What a wonderful night to have conceived a child. Tears sprang to Cheryl's eyes as she rubbed her still-flat belly. Sexy had better enjoy the money and fame that came with being Randy's side chick while she could because that bitch's days were numbered.
