The Feelings Are Mutual
My feelings for Aaliyah have grown stronger by the day. Everything about her just makes my heart skip a beat. But what makes it hard is, I don't know how she will take it. I'm not even sure if she likes me back.
I walk into the school and stroll to my locker and grab my books for my classes. Then I saunter over to Aaliyah's locker.
"Hey Aaliyah" I say leaning against the locker beside hers
"Wassup Afro-Puff" she says smiling
"Ready for another day in hell?"
"Yes! Schoolwork and Quizzes and Notes!" she says sarcasm heard in her voice
"Yessss!" I say laughing afterwards
She closes her locker and swings her book bag over her shoulder.
"Shall we be off?" she says holding her arm out
"We shall" I say intertwining my arm with hers and skipping down the hallway
We made it to class and took our seats. Today we were working on our projects.
Aaliyah was writing the paper ,while I was pasting pictures onto the poster board.
"...What are you doing this afternoon?..Aaliyah. "
"Well..I planned on going home,but what's up?"
" I wanted you to come to Starbucks with me...if you wanted to."
"Sure...What time?" she says smiling
"At three..."
"Okay, I'll be there."
Just then the bell rang signaling us to go to lunch. I gathered my things and caught up with Aaliyah. We made it to the lunch table and sat down with Leah. As soon as Aaliyah sat down she started texting somebody. I hope it wasn't a boy. Not saying I would be jealous.
"You are telling a lie! Are you serious?" Leah says clenching onto her phone
"Yes!...but it's not what you think it is." Aaliyah says
"....I'm lost. What are y'all talking about?"
"Nothing." They said simultaneously
"Oh..."
Lunch was over in a matter of minutes. Aaliyah grabbed her things and left with Leah which left me to walk to 4th period by myself. The rest of the day went by smoothly and we were out of school at two-ten. I didn't see Aaliyah the rest of the day. I was sort of worried she was going to blow me off. But I didn't want to let my worries get the best of me, so I left the school building and drove to Starbucks early.
I pulled into the parking lot and walked inside. I choose a table near the window because of the view. I ordered both of us a hot chocolate with whip cream and marshmallows. My thoughts started taking over because I invited her here for a special reason. Well at least I think it is special. Today is the day I confess my feelings to Aaliyah. I'm sort of nervous because I have been rejected multiple time because of my looks and I don't want to add Aaliyah to the list. Before I knew it Aaliyah walked inside.
"Hey Jacob." she says sitting in her chair
"Wow. You actually came...."
"Yea..Why wouldn't I?" she says giggling
"It's not important..." I say slightly pushing the cup of hot chocolate towards her
"....Thanks...Sooo why did you invite me here?" she says sipping the liquid
"Well because I know this dude who likes you."
"Really?!...Who is it?" she says, her face lighting up
"He goes to our school...he wears odd clothing..."
"Hmmm....What else?"
"And....he is sitting in front of you." I say looking at the table
"Oh...." she says catching on to what I said
"...You can leave now if you want to." I say playing with my fingers
"Well you tell him that the feelings are mutual." she says smiling
"You mean..you actually like me back?" I say in disbelief
"Yes Jacob...I have liked you for a very long time..just been afraid to air my feelings out."
"Well...it was sort of hard confessing my feelings for you also.." I say grinning slightly
"I can tell...you were as bright as a tomato!" she says laughing
"I know right!....but I have a question."
"Lay it on me."
"....Does this mean we are a thing now?"
"Only if you want to be...." she says smirking
"Well Aaliyah Thompson I hereby declare you as my girlfriend as of February seventh, twenty-fourteen." I say staring into her eyes
"Yes!" she says getting up and hugging me tightly
"You're mine...and only mine!" I say hugging her back
"I'm yours Afro-Puff..."
