Dusk to Dawn

Chapter 9

"DAWN! JOSHUA IS HERE TO SEE YOU!" our house keeper Miss Nancy yells up to me. "I'M SENDING HIM UP!"

Joshua? What is he doing here? Before I could try to answer my own question, my door flies open and Joshua steps into my room with a big smile on his face.

"What are you doing here? And have you ever heard of knocking?" I asked him while giving him a playful shove.

He smiled then embraced me and said, "I missed you, I just wanted to see your pretty face." He has got to be kidding me.

"You just saw me in school today, and I don't think your 'girlfriend' will approve of this," I said pushing away from him and crossing my arms with attitude.

"I told you today why I had her around, so why you tripping?" he asked while trying to pulled me in again, but I don't move.

"Joshua, she still thinks she's your girlfriend and I'm not about to fight over you when you don't even belong to me," I said still not budging from my spot.

"Damn girl, no need to get mad with me," he says taking a step away from me.

I didn't even do anything, I ain't even mad. What the hell is wrong with him?

"I'm not mad at you, why would you even think that?" I asked while taking a step closer to him. He steps away from me again and then says,

"Dawn, I'm not stupid, I can see your eyes glowing deep red."

Wow! I didn't even know that my eyes changed colour, guess I am mad. I try to calm myself down, so my eyes can turn back to their normal colour.

"It doesn't matter what she thinks, what matters is that I want you," Joshua says snapping me back to life. Before I can say anything else, Joshua grabs my top and pulls me into him and begins kissing me. I want to pull away, but my body wasn't allowing me, so all I do is return his kisses.

After a few seconds, his kisses began to get stronger and he started kissing me on my neck, and the he went lower into my clothes. His hands then reached under my top and he began pulling it off, but before it got any further, I stopped him.

"What are you doing?" I yelled at him while pulling myself out of his arms.

"I thought you said you were ok with doing this," he said coming closer to me.

I backed away and said, "Yeah, if you were my boyfriend." He came closer to me again, but this time he had me cornered. Stupid wall!

"So if I break up with Shantel right now, does that mean you're my girl?" he asked in a sexy voice.

I wanted to say yes, but then I remembered, he cheated on me, I'm not going to let that slide. I know he thinks that I will say yes, but I can't take him back just like that after he slept with another girl, and that other girl is my number one enemy. He has to work for me.

"I'm sorry Joshua, but no," I answered wiping the smile right off his face.

His eyes were now deep blue, and I'm guessing that means sadness and hurt. Oh God, I need to do something fast, I can't stand to see him sad.

"Ok fine Joshua, I will take you back," his smile and orange eyes return before I can even finish my sentence.

"When you show me how much you really want me back. I'm sorry; I just can't deal with all this drama right now," I say while running my fingers through his hair. He smiles at me and then whispers in my ear,

"I promise you we'll be back together by next week."

He holds my hand and gives me a good bye kiss, which I accept, then, walks out the door.
