One Last Dance

Cassian’s POV
I watched her sleep beautifully like a damsel she was. I adore her beauty. Her selflessness. She even allowed me back in her bed again, after what I did.
I couldn't sleep, I just couldn't forgive myself for all the things I'd done to her.
She woke up and saw me, still awake.
“Didn't you sleep?” She queried. I've missed this banter.
She still cared about me, such a beautiful soul.
I can't hide it from her anymore, she has to know the truth.
“I'm ending things with Lena for good.”
“What?! Why?!”
Is she surprised? I thought that's what she'll want?
“She still has the cancer. She never gave you her heart and she's dying. She only returned for fame, not love.”
I hate to admit it. It kills me.
“Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry about that.” She consoled, her sweet voice found it's way to my heart.
I couldn't help but cry.
I never imagined she'll still receive me. I know she can't forgive me, but allowing me to talk to her, to touch her, it's angelic.
“I owe you.”
“No you don't.” She shrugged.
“Please, just let me, Sarai.”
Thankfully, Nova would be discharged today so we all can go together, as a family.
“I have a concert. It's a world class performance and I'm going to dedicate it to you.” My words were nothing but the truth, and she knew I was damn serious.
“No, you can't be serious.”
Confusion and shock swallowed her face, but that isn't a problem.
“Of course I am. Please, can you come with the boys?” I asked with the same irresistible puppy eyes the boys used on me, on her too.
She wouldn't say no.
“No. I can't. I'm sorry.”
What?!
“I'm going to work today. They have school. I'm sorry.”
Come on!
Just one dance!
“Please.” I cried, I don't mind kneeling.
“No.”
Her mind was made, just the same way I made mine back then.
But before I left, I dropped the address with her, incase she changed her mind which I know, she wouldn't.

Sarai
After he left, I couldn't help but not think about him.
I took my boys to school and headed to work but all I could see was him, nothing else and it's so annoying.
After work, I picked them up from school and back home.
I wonder how they saw it, but they found the card he gave to me.
It was an invite.
“Mommy, please we want to go watch Uncle Cass., dance, he said he's a dancer.”
Oh f**k!
Not them!
These little demons tormented me the whole day, until I finally agreed to it. They made it their ringing tone and alarm clock to me.
They even got dressed before me.
Damn!
We headed to the Grand Prairie in Vernice. It was one of the biggest and world class event centres.
I showed them the card and they said we had three seats reserved for us at the front row.
Hmm. My boys were more than thrilled to feel the electric experience. It's their first time, I don't blame them, but it was also exciting too. It's been a while.
We watched the magical performance of Cassian on stage, and I heard him, right there on stage, dedicate the dance to the woman who carried his greatest rhythm.
He looked into my eyes when he said it and the whole world knew he was talking about me.
Tears rolled down my cheek as I watched the live performance.
But I can't forgive him. I can't still let him in. No!!!!
Later that night, I was very tired and exhausted and didn't know where Cairo had wondered to. I thought he was with me in the car, but I couldn't find him.
We had searched and searched and I wanted to call the police when I heard a knock on the door.
I was Cassian with Cairo in his arms, both of them covered in paint.
Damn! Goodness!!
“I know I can't undo what I did to you, Sarai, but I'll spend the rest of my life proving that I love you. Not your heart, not your pain, just you.”
