"Alright, I'll talk to her when I have the time, " said Cherry hastily, in an attempt to drop the subject. When she saw that Jackson didn't protest, Cherry instantly ceased worrying about it.
Jackson fondled Cherry's thick hair, and said, "Babe, how do you want to decorate the house?"
"I'll have to think about it, " expectantly said Cherry.
They didn't leave the villa until it was afternoon.
Cherry went upstairs into their bedroom, and then laid on the bed to get some rest. When Jackson saw her there, he jumped onto the bed and accidentally fell on top of her curvy body.
"Ouch, don't be stupid! Sleep on the other side of the bed, " protested Cherry.
Jackson reluctantly moved his body slightly away from Cherry, but still laid on the bed next to her.
"Babe, can you stay overnight again at our apartment?" asked Jackson in a pleading, gentle voice.
"No, I can't, " replied Cherry. She already missed her son, since she hadn't returned back home the previous evening, and she was also afraid that she might call out her son's name in her dreams. Jackson would then find out about Joe's existence, and the consequence would be too terrible.
Jackson was a bit upset, and he laid next to Cherry and said nothing.
Cherry knew that Jackson was angry, so she rolled over to look at him. "Jackson, please don't be mad at me, " she said.
Jackson remained silent and silently looked at her.
Cherry was a bit worried, because it was clear that he was dissatisfied with her refusal. She then suddenly touched his lips with a lingering kiss.
Immediately after Cherry stopped, Jackson kissed her back aggressively. It took just a moment for him to be totally aroused, and he thought that only Cherry had the power to seduce him and to force him to break the rules.
Unwilling to further anger Jackson, Cherry chose to keep silent.
After the lingering kiss, Jackson's face stayed close to Cherry's, and she felt his breath warm on her face.
"I don't want to let you go, " said Jackson.
Cherry thought for a moment, and resolutely said, "Jackson, I promise that I'll be back after a couple of days."
Cherry made up her mind to tell Jackson about their son, however, she still had no idea of how to introduce Joe to Jackson, and how to arrange the first meeting between father and son.
"Alright, " reluctantly answered Jackson.
