Broken Promises

Chapter 2

Kamri's POV

He put his hand on the back of my head and slowly pulled me into a tight hug as I immediately started sobbing into his chest. After about 5 minutes my sob grew quieter and he pulled back enough to see my mascara stained face.

He wiped my tears on my face and then leaned his forehead against mine.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He said quietly as his voice started to shake.

I opened my eyes and grabbed his hand and pulled him inside and set my stuff down on the table and took off my shoes as he did the same. I walked to the living room and sat down on the couch as he followed.

He sat next to me and I turned to him. He eventually looked back at me and weakly smiled. I tried to smile but I couldn't. So I looked away and laid my head on his shoulder. He then wrapped his arm around me and pulled my head down his lap and I laid there looking up at him.

I took his hand and started playing with it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him as I looked into his eyes.

"I miss you... I miss us..... I can't do it anymore. I can't stay away from you Kam. I'm still in love with you." He said truthfully as his eyes filled with tears. I sat up and scooted back bending my legs with his legs underneath them.

"I love you too, Riker." I said and smiled at him successfully this time.

"Can I kiss you?" Riker asked me.

I nodded and he leaned in putting on of his hands up to my cheek and kissed me. Our lips moved in perfect sync softly and slowly. I've missed his lips that used to always be on mine.

He pulled away and leaned his fore head against mine. I kept my eyes closed as I smiled from ear to ear. I then heard the door slam shut.

"Mom? Who's this?" Rykella asked as she pointed to Riker (aka her father).

"Rykella...This is Riker." I said as Rykella stepped toward Riker.

"Hey Riker!" She said as she put her hand out to shake it.

"Hey! Come here I'm a hugger." Riker said as he pulled her into a hug (aka the daughter he doesn't know about).

"Okay, Rykella. Go do your homework and then I'll call you down when dinner's ready." I said as I kissed her forehead.

"Yes, mom. Nice to meet you Riker." She said as she ran upstairs to her room.

"So you're a mom...." Riker asked as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Yeah. I am." I said quietly as I walked to the kitchen to start dinner.

Riker got up and followed me.

"How come you don't have any pictures of her father?" Riker asked as he plopped himself onto the counter.

"That's because.... Uh never mind." I said as I filled a pot with water and set it on the stove to boil.

"Because what?" He asked as he walked over to a picture of Rykella.
