"Who's excited to see Rai?" He looked from Angel to Klemey to Rai. Rai looked at the floor. She knew this day would come to haunt her. And here it is. Haunting her. Rai looked to her friends for support, but they looked away as if to say she was on her own.
"They're right. Only I can do this." Rai thought to herself to pump herself up. Gosh, did she wish she could do her pump up dance, it always worked. Rai looked at Chris in his gorgeous calm eyes, "Sweetheart. He was my secretary when I worked for BP." Rai had worked for BP for a solid 2 months until the oil spill. Then she split like tight jeans on a pregnant woman. But she never had the nerve to tell Chris about what happened in those 2 months.
"So why does he want to see you now?" Chris put his phone in his pocket and looked to Angel for an answer. Angel looked at the email but wasn't going to read it aloud. She gave it to Rai, and she read it quickly.
"Angel!
I finally found the address to the apartment! Tell Rai I'm leaving tonight to get there around 6am. Her and I have a lot to talk about...what we did was wrong, but I have no regrets.
-Sweetheart"
The second she finished reading it she crumpled it in her hands. Chris pounced on her like a puma, trying to grab it from her. Angel and Klemey tried to stop Chris, but he was too strong.
He finally got the paper and uncrumpled it.
"Chris, I can explain.." Rai said as she started to cry. Chris looked at Rai and wondered what could be so cry-worthy. He read the letter and looked at Rai for explanation.
"Do you remember when we took a break last year? We had a fight over your communication with Rihanna and we almost broke up?" Chris winced at the sound of his ex's name, "Yes, I remember."
"Well, I was really heartbroken and depressed..." Rai said as she sat down on her bed. "I felt betrayed and needed someone to talk to..." Chris sighed wishing Rai would cut to the chase.
"Sweetheart listened to me..." Rai said dragging the news out.
"What are you trying to say Rai?!!" Chris shouted.
Rai looked at him with watery eyes.
"I had an affair." She said quickly, wishing the words weren't true.
"What??" Chris asked in astonishment.
"And that's when I go get a glass of milk." Klemey announced to the room. As she walked out Angel looked at Rai and then Chris and she ran out of the room.
"What do you--" Chris started to speak but was interrupted by Angel coming back in with a bag of chips. She ran to the bed and plopped down ready for action.
Chris was about to ask her to leave but he didn't care.
"What do you mean you had an affair?"
"I'm so sorry Chris. He asked me to meet him for drinks, and one thing led to another." Rai felt so ashamed. Chris thought for a second and then simply replied, "I forgive you. That's not so bad."
Angel looked from Chris to Rai and back to Chris shocked by his reaction.
"He'll throw a fit any second now." Angel thought.
"Besides, I cheated on you too." He kissed Rai on the head and started to leave the room. "Glad we talked this out!" Rai's mouth fell open.
