I Guess It's Love

Section 2: Chapter 7

Aminah's POV:

"Ex." I say again. "He's my ex boyfriend now"

"Why did you two break up?", Tyler asks. He scoots up so that he was now sitting directly across from me. There is little to no space between us. My heart starts beating quicker. Why am I so nervous?

Maybe it's the fact that Tyler came all this way to check up on me, or maybe I'm just crazy but, I end up telling Tyler everything.

When I finish talking about how Sean cheated on me, Tyler says nothing for some time. Maybe i made things weird.

"I'm sorry that was unprofessional of me", I force out in shame.

"What are you tal-", he starts.

"I shouldn't have discussed my outside of work life", I continue.

"Shut up", he rolls his eyes.

"No I'm serious.", I look down at the floor. "You're my boss and it wasn't any of your business"

"Aminah I said shut up", he repeats. His cold fingers find their way to my face as he begins to trace my jaw line with his thumb. While I'm still looking down, he pulls my chin up making my eyes meet his.

His eyes are still so blue. They always manage to draw me in. They seem to hold so much meaning in them. My eyes then flicker  down to his lips. They're pink and full, almost inviting. I wish he would just kiss me.
No we can't. He's my boss now.

"Tyler I think we should-", I  try to move away from him.

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop talking", he says. Frustration is written all over his face. Well shit my bad.

"I just can't believe that any man would have all this...",  He starts but pauses. His hand that was on my jaw was now wrapped gently around my neck. His other hand found it's way around my waist.

"And just pass it all up.", he finishes. I chuckle at his statement. Ironic how he's saying this.

He knows why I laughed at what he said. He did the same thing to me that Sean did. Even if it was years ago.

His grip on my neck tightens in response. He then chuckles as well. "You have no idea what really happened", he whispers as he pulls me in closer. His lips brush against mine as he speaks.

"Mhm so what happened", I mumble. My heart was now beating way faster than before. I bet he can hear it drumming away.

He doesn't say anything and instead begins rubbing circles with his thumb on my neck. The feeling is hard to describe. It feels weird but calming and a little bit reassuring.

"You look so good tonight",  he says in a low voice.

"I look a mess", I look at him like he's crazy. Has he not noticed how rough I look?

"No you look beautiful", his breath hits me as he speaks. It should smell like the food we just ate but instead, his breath smells minty.

Tyler starts leaning in closer. Every muscle in my body urges me to lean in as well so that's exactly what I do.

Our lips meet and we begin to passionately kiss. His soft lips bring back a feeling that's all too familiar. Memories come flooding in all at once. Our first kiss. Our first fight. Our last fight. Our last kiss.

What are we doing?

I force myself to pull away from the kiss. His face falls into a frown. He's disappointed. I am too.
"It's getting late", I scoot back from him.

Tyler clears his throat and checks his phone.

"Yea I guess I better go", he stands up grabs his stuff. I pick up all our trash before following him out my room.

As I walk into the living room I see Aphina slumped on the couch. The girl is literally knocked out cold.
I chuckle at her before throwing away the garbage.

"Alright well I'm gonna head out", Tyler tightly smiles.
I nod in response and hold the front door open for him. He looks so defeated that my heart aches. Just as he's walking out the door I grab his arm to stop him.

"Hey Tyler, I'm sorry about what happened back there", I apologize. "I just think it would be weir-",

Suddenly he engulfs me in a hug. "Don't worry about it", he says as he gently squeezes me. I relax into his arms and eventually find myself hugging back.

He lets go and steps out the apartment. Right as I go to close the door I hear him say. "We're going to end up together", before walking away. I stand at the door in shock. I can't help but smile. This man will be the death of me .
