Jaiyana

Six Weeks, Five Days Later

Wednesday Afternoon

My eyes travel over Cairo's right side profile and I can't help but to smile. I really still can't believe he has given me another chance. I feel like it's a dream that I still need to wake up from. I know I hurt him repeatedly, but he has forgiven me. He has no idea how much that means to me. It's been weeks and we have seen each other as often as we can. When he is here in Houston, we see each other every day. When he has been in Atlanta, I went to visit him for the weekend or he comes to visit me. Cairo is so generous because he paid my way and of course pays for everything when we are together. I told him he is doing too much, and that just goes in one ear and out the other. He's been so sweet to me and we have completed two more therapy sessions together. I feel like we are definitely taking steps in the right direction for our relationship.

"You always love to stare at me like a creep," Cairo said, interrupting me from my thoughts. I gasp before I chuckle softly.

"Just really happy to be with you," I said softly. Cairo looks from the road briefly and winks at me before looking forward again.

"I'm happy to be with you Jai," Cairo said. He grips my left hand and lifts it up and kisses it repeatedly. I can't help but to smile at the gesture.

"How do you feel about this trip?," Cairo said.

"I'm so excited honestly! I've always wanted to go to a cabin. I'm just happy to have one on one time with you," Jai said.

"I feel the same way Jai. I feel we are really in a great place right now. So great honestly. I know time has passed between us, but baby...you're still my girl you know that? Shit never changed between us at all. I'm so happy with you even after all this time," Cairo said sweetly.

"You're so sweet Cairo....I don't know why you gave me another chance and sometimes...I don't think I deserve it, but I appreciate it so much. My future has to be with you and I'm so happy I have the chance to love you again," I said honestly.

"You deserve a second, third, fourth, whatever chance Jai. I'll never give up on you. I couldn't. We literally both tried with other people and we both knew....it has to be me and you and that's it. I can't be with anyone else and love them the same way or get that same love back that I experience with you. Jai...we had plans me and you. We definitely got off track, but I hope those plans and goals are still the same for you."

"They are Cairo. I want it all with you. I really do. I want....to marry you one day....have a family," I whispered.

"Baby.....would you be willing to try for another baby down the line?," Cairo asked cautiously.

"Yes....of course. I know what happened but as long as I am healthy enough to do so, then I definitely want to try to again. I know me and you will have the best experience as parents. I already know how irritating you are going to be," I joked.

"Oh you really have no idea baby! Like....I'm going to talk and sing to our baby every single day. Always going to be rubbing your belly, reading to our baby. Make sure you don't lift a finger when you are around me. You can take as much time as you want off from work during and after the pregnancy because I will absolutely be there to support you. I can do my work from home for when you are ready to return home for work. Maybe your dad can help us out, but either way, our baby will be loved and spoiled by me and everyone that supports us. I would prefer to not have our child in day care if that's ok with you. I'm sorry I'm talking about shit way in the future, but I want to make sure we are all on the same page."
