Perfectly Wrong (A Riker Lynch love story)

Brandi's pov

I wish I could have said that I slept great with Riker on his first night of returning home from tour. But I can't say that, because then I would be a lier.

I woke up lost and confused. Shuffling out of bed, I threw on my robe and walked downstairs to the kitchen.

I grabbed a glass of orange juice and walked to the couch, flipping on the tv.

"Maybe today can be a mopping day," I said out loud looking down at my stomach.

I heard a loud banging on my front door, remembering that I had locked it last night when I came home.

I opened the door revealing Riker, with tears streaming down his face.

"Please, please just give me 2 minutes to explain my self!" Riker pleaded.

"Riker I don't..."

"Please.. please just listen to me!" More tears began falling from his beautiful hazel brown eyes.

"Okay."

"Okay... you'll hear me out?"

"Yes, 2 minutes."

I turned around, walking to the couch with Riker following closely behind.

"Brandi, what I did was awful and terrible and a complete mistake and the truth is I was only hooking up with her because she reminded me so much of you and how much I love your sweet personality and how much I love your smile and how happy you make me. I love you. I love you with all my heart and to know that what I did hurt you so badly, kills me on the inside. I never want to hurt you ever again, I love you and all your little things. And being away from you for 2 whole fucking months made me absolutely crazy and I craved so badly to be with you. Please. Brandi I beg you, please forgive me. I just want to make you happy and I want to see your beautiful smile. I will spend the rest of my life trying to making it up to you. Because I love you." Riker was talking so fast that it was hard to hang on to every single word he was saying to me.

I don't even know what to say. The man that I love, the man who is the father of my unborn child, tore me apart inside, hurt me in unimaginably ways, is now sitting in front of me, with tear pouring down his face, confessing his love for me.

"Riker... I... I don't know what to say."

"Just say you'll take me back, and I promise I will make it up to you. I will spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you. I promise, Brandi. I promise" He held up his pinkie, which I interlocked my with.

"Riker, I love you but I'm not ready..."

I watched as his eyes welt up again. It hurt me more to see him this way, than to have been hurt by him. But I'm not ready. I can't possible be ready to just jump right back into the relationship when all trust in the relationship had been lost. "Trust is earned, not given." I said to him. "And when you cheated on me, all trust was completely lost."

"Then let me try and earn it back. Please, Brandi, please. I can't lose you. You are my life, my happiness, my everything." He begged.

"Okay."

"Okay."
