All Chapters of Cherry Chapstick: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

He still stood there smiling, her words clearly not affecting him. “I’ll tell you what, I’m going to let you stay here tonight so you can go ahead and start packing your shit. I’ll go stay at Maddy’s house. She won’t mind me being there.” He smirked at her once more and I could tell that he was starting to get to her.“Your secretary? You mean to tell me you’ve been fucking her too?” Leslie’s face was full of disbelief at this point. I couldn’t blame her; how many women was he fucking exactly? Sierra also seemed to be shocked, her mouth hanging open.“Oh Leslie honey; surely you didn’t think I was getting called into the office all the time did you?”Her eyes watered. It was clear that she had believed exactly that.“I got calls alright. I got calls from Maddy telling me she wanted me to come fuck her tight little pussy and make her cum all over my desk. I couldn’t exactly turn her down and disappoint her now could I?”Anger boiled up inside of me again. The fact that he was standin

Now I have seen plenty of movies where people have fallen down the stairs so I thought I would be prepared to see this but I was wrong. It looked wrong. Normally people were sprawled on the floor with a leg to the side but this wasn’t the case. John’s legs were bent and resting half on the bottom of the stairs and half on the floor. His body lay slumped over sideways on the stairs as though he were resting. What I didn’t expect was his head; it was twisted and looking up at us. His eyes were open but had a glassy quality to them. I was about to speak when I was interrupted by a loud wailing. Looking over, I saw Sierra was still crying. I had somehow blocked everything out once I spotted John. “Leslie” I whispered beside me and she clenched my arm tightly. I looked over at her and she mouthed I know. Her eyes showed sadness but she didn’t cry.maybe she couldn’t with the commotion Sierra was causing. Releasing Leslie, I bent down and cradled Sierra. “You have to calm down” I told

I helped Sierra sit down on the barstool and seated myself next to her. She looked like she had been drugged. Leslie looked at her every now and again as she made our coffee. I still didn’t fully understand the dynamics of what was going on but it was clear I was the odd man out. I felt nothing about the whole situation.“I guess this is it.” Sierra sobbed, picking at her fingernails; something I hadn’t seen her do before.“What?” I asked rubbing her back trying to comfort her.“I’m going to go to jail. They’re going to take one look at him and know I did it.”“I don’t think that’s how it works” Leslie told her as she handed us each a cup of coffee. “They have to investigate because it’s now a crime scene. Unless you just come out and confess which I wouldn’t suggest.”Sierra looked up at her sharply, her eyes confused.“Why wouldn’t I? They’ll figure it out sooner or later. Why not just go ahead and accept my fate.”I blew on my coffee Leslie handed me and took a long sip. While they

“I wanted to!” Sierra snapped her head up sharply. “Leslie I wanted to tell you everything. I hated keeping it from you, and even you” she said turning towards me. “I thought if I told either of you that y’all wouldn’t want me anymore and the thought of that was too much to bear. I’m ashamed of what I did but it hurts more knowing that it cost me the two of you.”Looking over at Leslie I watched as her face softened.“Hey” she said cupping Sierra’s face in her hands. “You haven’t lost me. I can’t speak for Ashley, but I’m not going anywhere.” She wiped her tears and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears that had been hanging in her face. She looked at Leslie hopefully and then turned towards me. As much as I hated to admit it, she was a part of my life now and to keep her in it I would have to get over the lies she had told. I nodded.“I’m not going anywhere either. Except maybe to go check out the situation.” Clearly it had been lost on the two of them that we had a problem that

The three of us watched with bated breath as it flew into the air momentarily and came down solidly halfway down. We heard as it cracked and then eventually broke apart leaving its pieces everywhere. A few pieces made their way down to John but it still looked wrong to me.“Well?” Leslie looked at us eyes wide “what do y’all think?”“I think it looks great.” Sierra said hesitantly. “Looks like he tripped and fell.”Leslie turned to me. I could feel my mouth turning down. This was the kind of setup that got people thrown in jail.“I think it looks like shit.” I said flatly. When neither of them spoke, I continued.“Do you really think that they don’t have people trained to investigate crime scenes? They do reenactments too but theirs are of a more technical nature.”“But how could they tell?” Sierra whined now sitting down halfway down the stairs.I glared at her. Clearly the elevator was not going all the way to the top here.“Sierra think about it.. they can literally tell from wher
