Just Us. (Sequel To Nymphomaniac)

They Can't Stop Us.

(Kamani and Sydnei in the media)

Sydnei

"Babe, what time will your family be at the airport to get us?" I asked, packing my last suitcase.

We were going to visit her family in Texas. That's where her parents lived. I've only met her brother, Mante and he's a real sweet heart. I'm a little nervous to meet them but I'll do anything for Kamani. Anything.

"I think 8, babe." Kamani was on her laptop trying to make sure our tickets were ready and stuff. I nodded.

"I'm so nervous." I sat down on the bed and moved my curls out of the way. Kamani looked up from her laptop and bit her lip.

"Come here." I walked over to her and sat in her lap.

"Why are you so nervous? I used to always talk to my parents about you. They're gonna love you." she smiled at me.

I cupped her chin and kissed her sweet lips. I really hope you're right. I made it my business to tell my mom I was leaving. She's dropping us off at the airport in the morning so everything was working itself out.

"What if they don't like me?" I couldn't help but to assume the worst. Kamani smacked her lips and chuckled.

"Sydnei, who could ever hate this face?" she touched my cheek and it made me blush.

"Do you regret leaving?" I asked.

Kamani looked down for a second. I could tell she was thinking about how to answer that question. I really wanted to know. I wasn't trying to bring up the past but I think I deserved to know.

"I didn't know how to handle all the emotions I was feeling at the time. I was falling deeper and deeper in love with you. Like, I've never felt that way with any girl in my life and it became scary." Kamani made sure she kept eye contact with me.

"Why didn't you ever tell me?" I asked, while rubbing her soft hair.

She sighed and tightened her grip around my waist. I loved the feeling. I never go a day without feeling safe with her. Who would've ever thought I'd be so in love with my long lost lover after all the shit I've been through? It's a bit overwhelming to think about, honestly.

"I mean, like I said. I was scared. We were young. I only knew the least about love or being in love. You were the only person I could talk to about how I felt but you were last person I wanted to tell." her eyes became watery and I wiped her tears away.

"And when you started dating that one girl.."

I thought back to college. Ah, Rayven.

"Rayven?" I asked. She nodded and sniffed.

"When you started dating Rayven, I put all that aside for awhile. Then y'all broke up and you started saying how you hate love and fuck love.."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head as I thought about it. I remember that day. I was so heart broken.

"I didn't want any part of it at the moment." I confessed.

"Yeah, well that's when we got even closer and I was there for you during the break up and the feelings came back and you.." she paused.

"Admitted that I loved you more than a best friend." I finished her sentence. She nodded and I felt guilt build up in my stomach. Was I the reason she ran?
