Aaliyah came back from her early morning walk just in time to see me coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of fruits in my hands
She wore a sugar pink track suit with matching plastic hairslides in the shape of rabbits. She stood by, quietly amused as I finish setting the table for breakfast.
I served myself some food and started eating while she stared
"Aren't you going to eat? Or is the food poisoned?" I asked
"I'm really not hungry," she said, lifting the coffee cup and inhaling the fragrant steam before sipping.
Her eyes sparkled when she saw the heap of fresh pancakes soaking in brown syrup and she gulped loudly. I could hear the sound of her saliva rushing down her throat and a wide smile spread across my face
"That's a whole lot of saliva" I said jokingly
"That's not the sound of my saliva" she retorted
"Just a few bites" I cajoled, as soon as she sat down, taking her own place beside me.
"You need to keep up your strength for tonight" I continued
She gave me a heated, slumberous look, remembering her fantasy.
"Why? Are you planning something?" She asked
"I suppose I am" I said consideringly. "It's special every time we are in the room alone"
Aaliyah blushed, but she laughed loudly. "Keep fooling yourself" she finally told me
It is not her beautiful face or soft skin that kills me, it is her simplicity and being herself
When I am in her company, Time seemed to stop, the world around us stilled. There is only her and me.
We kept mocking and teasing each other through out breakfast after which we both retired to our rooms.
I took a shower and stepped into Aaliyah's room to let her know that I'll be heading out soon. I found her laying on her stomach as if in pain
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?" I asked
"No, even if I was, I wouldn't need your help" she said, rolling her eyes
"I just don't want you to die on my watch, that's why I offered to help" I told her
"I just need some rest" she said
"Fine" I replied, leaving the room
But I couldn't leave the house without making sure she was okey. I went back to check up on her again, and I saw her holding something tightly in her hands. She quickly hid it in her handbag when she saw me.
"What are you hiding" I asked teasingly
"Nothing, it's just my wrist watch" she said, but the look on her face said otherwise
I quickly snatched her bag and I saw a pack of pills inside it, that's what she was hiding. Puzzled, I quickly glanced at her before I brought it out and examined it
"What medication are you on?" I asked, reading the tag on the container, then I realized they were abortion pills.
She quickly put the ones she earlier picked out from the pack in her mouth and reached for the cup of water on her side drawer, but I was faster. I knocked the cup down, it fell on the floor and the content in it splashed all over
