Ice and Fire

Sally, however, insisted on saying, "Cherry, I can only see you this one time. If you don't come, then I'll continue to see Jackson in the future."

"Can you promise me that you won't bother him anymore if I agree to see you?" Cherry knew the right questions to ask Sally.

"You..." Sally choked up with her anger again.

She then paused for a moment, and said, "Maybe I will if you make our meeting possible tonight."

Cherry didn't reply this time, and hesitated for a moment. She had nothing to say to Sally. 'Should I take the risk to meet Sally for Jackson?' she thought.

Eventually, Cherry said, "Tell me where and when."

Sally chuckled on the other side of the line, and said, "At eight o'clock, in the Island Cafe."

Cherry then hung up the phone.

When she went downstairs, she found that Jackson was still making the coffee. She walked over to him and hugged him from behind.

Jackson glanced at her and laughed. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you acting like a child now all of a sudden?"

"I just wanted to hug you, " said Cherry gently.

"I want that too. Why don't you stay here with me?" said Jackson as he poured the coffee into cups.

When Cherry saw that the coffee was ready, she let Jackson go and reached out to grab a cup. After she took a quick sip out of it, she said, "I'm going now."

"Why not go later?" said Jackson fondly, trying to convince her to stay.

After they finished their coffee, they cuddled in the living room for a little while longer before Cherry went on her way.
