I'm walking back and forth past my bed, as I wait patiently for Cairo to get here. I check my phone and see it's 1:20 a.m. Cairo said he would be here by 1:30.

"Oh god what am I going to say? Fuck," I mumbled to myself.

My thoughts are all over the place. I have no idea how to even start the conversation. What I need to tell Cairo is something that I have buried deep into my memory, yet I know the second I start talking about, every detail will come rushing back. That part scares me. But Cairo deserves to know the truth about what happened to me for sure. I sigh as I sit on the bed. I take a deep breath as I lay back on the bed. My phone vibrates and I see a text from Cairo.

I'm here baby just parked.

I sit up quickly as I stare at the message. He is early! He must have been speeding the entire way here! Oh my god. I take a deep breath again as I set my phone on the nightstand. I slip on a pair of slides and I head towards the door. I can see on a small camera near my front door Cairo parked at the end of my driveway. I see the lights turn off the car and Cairo exit the car. He closes the passenger door and then removes a suitcase from the trunk. He then closes the trunk and walks to the door. My heart stills when I hear a series of knocks on my door. I take a few deep breaths before I grip the doorknob. I slowly turn it and pull the door open. My eyes instantly travel up and land on the face of Cairo. He's so beautiful. He always has been. Cairo's eyes soften at the sight of me.

"Hi," I whispered.

"Hi beautiful," Cairo said softly.

"Come in," I said while moving to the side. Cairo walks past me and I close and lock the door behind me. I turn to look at Cairo as he looks at me.

"....I can't believe you are here," I said.

"Jai....just come here. Please," Cairo said while releasing the suitcase handle from his hand. I move my feet closer and closer to Cairo until I am right in front of him. Cairo stares at me as his hands wrap around my waist. He pulls me into him and I instantly wrap my arms around his neck as he holds me tightly.

"Are you ok?," Cairo asked while rubbing my back gently.

"Yes....are you?"

"I'm ok....do you feel up to talking to me?"

"...Yeah." Cairo snuggles his face in my neck and he kisses me gently there. He holds me for a few more moments before he releases me. His eyes travel over my face and he delicately kisses my forehead.

"We can talk in the room," I said.

"Ok," Cairo said. I lead Cairo to my bedroom and he sets his suitcase in the corner, near the closet.

"Jai....I know this may seem crazy. You know, me dropping everything to come see you, but I am so worried baby. You have no idea," Cairo said while rubbing the back of his neck. I noticed he always did that when he was anxious.

"I don't mean to worry you but....Cairo I have to be honest," I said while sighing.

"Of course what is it?"

"I...I...I won't be able to look at you when I tell you what happened. At least not yet ok?," I said while looking down.

"Ok baby....I understand. I'll just get a bit more comfortable and then we can talk however you want ok?"

"Yeah thank you," I said while nodding my head. I sit on the bed and I watch as Cairo opens his suitcases and pulls out a few items of clothing, and a small toiletries bag. He goes into the bathroom and closes the door slightly.
