true. “Maybe it’s not the best of circumstances, but I just can’t not be with him.”
         “ Well, I hope he realizes how lucky he is. If he doesn’t I’d be happy to straighten him out for you”
         Cherilyn hugged Tash, but left not feeling great about things with Marcus. It wasn’t a great situation to be in love with someone you could never acknowledge in public. She wondered about the future of this relationship. If they were both to continue working at Daycroft Industries what future did they have? She never thought she was the kind of woman who would let herself get used or treated badly, but when she was with Marcus and not questioning why, everything felt perfect.
         Once she arrived at Marcus’ place and saw his smile any reservation or question she had went right out of her head.

 
     
    CHAPTER SEVEN    
     
    Even though she had been spending almost every night with Marcus, today, unfortunately for Cherilyn, would be much different. It was Melanie and David’s wedding day and she was not looking forward to going alone.
         Cherry desperately wished to share the experience with Marcus, holding hands and introducing him to everyone.  But it just wasn’t possible for her to bring him and then she wondered how smart it was to keep going in a relationship with no future, giving her whole self to a man that had the power to keep her from advancing in her job.
         Cherry and Tash met the rest of the bridal party in the back room of the church. Melanie appeared ecstatic, kissing them both while talking non-stop.  Cherilyn, Tash and Keke were all wearing similar dresses of the same color, but each a slightly different style.
         The wedding coordinator came over and inserted flowers into Cherry’s hair, hand ing her a bouquet and a glass of champagne. Then she did the same for Tashida.
         Cher ilyn clinked glasses with Tash, giving her a stern look, but before she could say anything - Tash, looking guilty, said, “I know what you’re thinking, you’re worried I’ll drink too much. I promise I’ll be good, you’ll get no problems from me today.”
         “I’m glad you’re thinking of Melanie.”
         “I’m not thinking about her. I’m just remembering that hell of a hangover I had in Vegas.  It’s just not worth it.”
         Cher ilyn laughed and looked around the room.  “Who’s that?” She gestured towards a strikingly beautiful woman who sat in a back part of the room. She looked to be of Asian and Black heritage, was wearing sunglasses, a white shirt, black slacks and jacket. She had her legs crossed showing some expensive looking boots.
         “That’s Robyn.”
         “Oh, my.” Cherry sipped her champagne and tried not to stare.
         Keke brought Cherilyn and Tash over to introduce them to Robyn. They talked for a few moments, finding Robyn to be gracious and funny, then Tash and Cherilyn moved to the other side of the room to give them some privacy.
         “She’s pretty, huh?” Cher ilyn said.
         “Yeah, maybe we should change sides and play for the other team.” Tash raised her champagne glass. “Might be more lucky in love.”
         Cherry laughed, “ Don’t be silly.” After a pause she added, “You are kidding, aren’t you?”    
         “Yeah,” Tash grinned, “unfortunately, we’re stuck with men, damn it all.”
         Cherilyn wished she could introduce Marcus to all her friends. Did it sound shallow to want to show him off? It was absolute agony to be dating such a great guy and to be unable to tell anyone. Besides she just plain missed his company and wanted to talk with him, sit with him, laugh, and dance, experiencing everything with him.
         Melanie came over to them and whispered, “If I had known Keke was going to come out I would have never asked her to be a bridesmaid.”    
         Cherilyn was affronted, but since it wasn’t the
