Cairo’s Pov

I stood there, and watched him as he sat on the stairs,"Hi" he said, I didn’t respond, I actually expected him to get arrested, but here he was, right infront of my face, infront of my school. I watched him as I walked inside, many thoughts came into my head *what was he doing here?* *what was he going to do?* *is he here to talk to the Principal again?* Basically, nothing could stop the thoughts from swarming through my head.

When I walked inside of the school, I saw Winnie, she looked like she just drank 10 bottles of alcohol. Apparently she did, because when she looked at me she got up and walked sloppily down the hallway. I didn’t care, Winnie was my best friend, my ride or die, and she was going to testify against me?! Just because I was gonna get Jonathan in jail? Not a chance, I had to threaten her with the evidence against her and Boris. Jonathan was my problem, not hers.

The day went by really quickly, and soon I was walking back home, back in the scary place enriched with green. While I walked on the path, I saw Johnathan,"What's he doing here?" I whispered under my breath. Since I lived in a Mansion and Basically have nothing to do, I followed him, I wanted to see where he was headed.

Jonathan's Pov

She’s not home, that's a win win, She nearly got me in jail. And all this happened over a fuckin story. How did I ever get myself in this shit. Now I look like a fuckinclown. I have to go inside of her house, I have to talk with her. And showin up enexpected at her home is the best way to have a talk right?

After what seemed like 5 minutes of hell between twigs and thorns, I reached her place. Being brutally honest it looks haunted, I can’t believe I actually kissed her right infront of this haunted lookin place. I walked up on her porch, and sat in her chair like a predator waiting for it’s prey.

As soon as I sat down and looked up, there she was. I tried not to jump, i’m so glad I didn’t because that would just be embarrassing. "Hello Cairo" I said, I expected her to get angry but she didn’t, she played along, "Hello Jonathan, what brings you here?" she said with a smile on her face,"Oh nothin really I just wanted to have a little talk" I said in my most seductive voice ever, wait, what am I even doin? Am I really seducin the girl who almost got me arrested?

Cairo’s Pov

My face flushed, but I had to play it tough, "Talk about what?" I responded Did I really just say that?"Talk about what you did" he lamented. I wasn't really ready for this, after all he sneaked onto my porch thinking I wouldn’t catch him. I stay silent,"you don’t wanna talk Cairo?" He exclaimed. I walked up to him, I couldn’t control myself, I put my face really close to his and said,"We can’t talk Johnathan.." I walked inside of my home feeling weak.

Several hours had passed since i’ve told him that we can’t talk. And I can’t help but feel guilty. I will admit, I did fall in love with him. And I feel like i’m fallin back into love, I only submitted the story because I was angry that he told me that I couldn’t submit it. All of this was eating me up inside I had to see him. That’s how I found myself outside of his house.

I stood there at the window of his house. Watching. I let out a small moan of pleasure just watching him in his white pajamas.

I began to move closer to the window to get a better look, but in the midst of that I stepped on a branch. Yep, a branch, and it wasn't one of those small, soundless branches, it was a hard, crunchy and long branch. It made a noise so loud, even the scary ass owl in the tree flew away.

"shit" I whispered under my breath. I looked at the window and saw that he was gone and heard the back door slowly opening. Fear paralyzed my body. I gotta run but if I do then he'll know there's definitely someone outside. Fortunately, I spotted a bush and quickly but sneakily hid in it.

I heard what sounded like a branch or a footstep outside, so naturally I'll go check it out. What if it's someone who came to my house after hearing about the situation with Cairo. I mean you never know right? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

I stepped outside in the freezing cold, my hands immediately comforting my arms. "Hello? Is anyone there?" I shouted and was met with no answer. I walked laps around the house, making sure of no human being, or, that's what I thought. I looked at a bush and saw a silhouette curled into ball.

I must be dreaming right? Surely there isn't someone hiding in my bush right? Wrong. " Who ever that is in the bush, just know that I see your ass and if you don't come out, I'll make sure to break every bone in your body" I lamented in my most calm voice, trying to seem relaxed.

Great. Just great. I actually thought it would be like those movies. Where someone looks for another person and they're right there in the most obvious spot but then the person ends up not finding them. No, it's not like that. I'm caught, I'm exposed and I'm revealed.

I slowly rose from the bush as embarrassment decorated my face. I looked up and saw him staring at me with a cold but slightly shocked expression. We looked at eachother for about 5 seconds before he broke the silence.

"Cairo, what the hell are you doing at my house, even worse, in my bush!" He exclaimed. "I uh- I don't know" I stuttered. "You need to leave before my wife sees you, now." He said. " Wait, I want to talk to you, about everything, please" I pleaded. "Cairo.." He replied in a quiet voice "Get off of my property" he murmured.

I stood there, my eyes widening in shock, just today he wanted to talk to me and now he's telling me to get off of his property? How great.

I rolled my eyes and stomped off to my home.

I actually wanted to talk to her. I actually did. I lied about my wife seeing her. She moved out to a friend's house after she heard about the situation with Cairo. Now, I live in this house, alone.

I watched Cairo as she walked away, fighting everything in my body to control myself. I still loved Cairo and I knew she loved me too. I still feel a connection between us, even after everything.

I walked back into my house, thinking about everything she said. Thinking about how she wanted to talk to me. Thinking about her.

I made myself a cup of chocolate tea and went to my bedroom to sleep.

It's the weekend and I have nothing to do. I live in a big terrifying Mansion and I have no one to spend my weekend with.

I guess I should go out today. Get some sun. Get a drink. Buy new clothes. You know do girls stuff. But I wouldn’t though. I'm not like other girls.

Other girls don't fall in love with a man twice their age then submit a story to the Principal about an affair.

Maybe I should just go for a walk to clear my mind.

A few moments later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked out of my house, headset in ears and phone in hand. Ready to go for a supposed ' mind clearing ' walk I set myself upon.

I walked towards a random direction, through the leafy path.

Suddenly everything went black.

I dont know what happened. I think I fainted or something. Then, I woke up in an empty room. The sun peeped through the tiny window as I rose to my feet.

"Where am I?" I whispered whilst I rubbed my eyes

𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣'𝙨 𝙋𝙊𝙑

I'm sitting on the couch right now. Thinking.

Should I go talk to her? Yes or No? "Hmm.." I mumbled to myself

I sat on my couch, contemplating for about 5 minutes.

Agh fuck it. I'll go talk to her. We both wanted to speak to eachother anyway.

I stood up and proceeded to go to her location.

𝘾𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙤'𝙨 𝙋𝙊𝙑

I heard some footsteps ascending up to the door.

Panic flushed my face.

I prepared myself to fight.

Then I saw who it was...
