New start

Chapter eight

The drive home was too quiet for Aaliyah's liking. Where has the cocky Jameel gone? she thought. The only time he spoke was to give her directions. Aaliyah pulled up outside his house. Jameel was getting out when Aaliyah grabbed his arm. "Wait..... she began, before you go i want to apologise for yesterday." "Which bit latte?"

"I was drunk. It shouldn't have happened."

"But it did happen."

"Sorry. It won't happen again."

"You keep telling yourself that, but we both know it will."

"It was a mistake."

"I'm hurt. How can you call our moment of passion a mistake?"

Aaliyah screamed into the air. She had forgotten how annoying Jameel was. "Get out." she yelled 

"No, I'm ok right here."

Aaliyah got out and went to Jameels side and shouted "get out."

"Ok latte, I'm going." 

Jameel got out and said "so why'd you kiss me?"

"I told you i was drunk. Now, please drop it"

"I will when you tell me the truth."

"I already told you."

"The truth latte, and then I'll go."

Aaliyah looked at him. How could she tell him part of her wanted to kill him every time she was near him, yet another part of her wanted to kiss him senseless. What is he doing to me? she thought

"I don't know. It just happened."

"Good" said Jameel before pushing Aaliyah against the car and kissing her. Aaliyah kissed him back but then pushed him away.

"No, we can't do this. It's not what we want."

"But what if it is?"

"No, it's not what I want and i know you don't want it to."

"Don't talk for me. I know what I want and don't want."

"Never again Jameel."

As Jameel was about to leave, Aaliyah grabbed him and kissed him with all her might. Jameel kissed her back with equal passion. Suddenly Aaliyah pushed him away. "Good night Jameel." she said as she raced to her side of the car.

"Not again Aaliyah. You can't kiss me then leave me hanging."

"I just did."

"What happened to never again?"

"Just getting you out of my system."

Jameel smirked as Aaliyah drove away. The game was well and truly on.
