Man, what's wrong with you?
Chapter 25 Reach An Agreement
After getting dressed into her pajamas Sherry dried her hair before going to bed. When she returned to her room she was unsettled by the sight before her. Jeremy lay comfortably in her small bed quite happily.
Sherry peered over at her Hello Kitty doll that was tossed aside on the bed. Noticing her observation, Jeremy picked it up and placed it on the floor, in an attempt to make room for Sherry.
"Why don't you just go home? It's getting awfully late." Sherry strolled to her doll lying on the ground and almost caringly picked it up and placed it on a nearby chair.
"No it's okay, I'm fine to stay here," said Jeremy confidently.
He was lying down with his long limbs almost dwarfing Sherry's small bed. It made her feel like her bed was comical to say the least.
"Who said that you can sleep here? This is my home and my bed!" demanded Sherry angrily.
"I thought your home was my home. Aren't we a couple?" Looking at Sherry, he gave a playful smile.
"Don't you have a wife? Jessie? I'm pretty sure that she is your wife," said Sherry in a sharp voice.
Sherry would always have the memory of Jessie calling him "honey" and clinging onto him like an octopus
The mere sound of Jessie's name seemed to upset Jeremy. However this didn't bother Sherry, if anything it amused her even more.
However her amusement was short lived as Jeremy's cold shout of "Sherry" stopped her dead in her tracks.
His shout seemed to not be for any other purposes other than silencing her. After a moment of stunned silence Sherry built up the courage to ask him what was wrong.
"Remember, only I have the right to ask for a divorce! You don't have that right," he said, his voice cold and dominating.
"No way!" she very nearly blurted out.
Sherry bit her lower lip to hold her tongue back from saying anything. She was fed up with fighting with a man that was just too hard headed and narcissistic to talk to.
"It's fine. You can sleep here, I'll sleep on the sofa." Sherry ignored the prospects of sleeping in the bed and decided to leave the room. Suddenly there was a strong grasp on her and in an instant was flung towards the bed. She was lying on her bed before even realizing what was happening.
Jeremy had pinned her to the bed with a furious look in his eyes.
"No, stop it, Jeremy..." She squirmed and refused Jeremy's advances but to no avail.
At that moment the doorbell rang.
No matter how hard she tried to fend Jeremy off and escape his clutches, his hold was too powerful for her.
"Someone is here, Jeremy. Go open the door," gasped Sherry.
It would have been inappropriate for Sherry to get the door in her state, so Jeremy begrudgingly answered the door.
Sherry hurriedly got changed into more presentable clothes suitable for welcoming guests. It didn't matter who was at the door; she would be quite embarrassed wearing pajamas
