No Letting Go [Completed]

Twenty

{Colin's POV}

I pull up to Melanie's and sit in the drive way, contemplating on if I really want to do this. I really haven't been able to think straight since I left the park. I reach over to open the glove compartment, grab a couple condoms out of the box and put them in my pocket. I go up to the door, knock and she opens it, wearing nothing but some pajama shorts that fit her very tightly and a white tank top.

"You're back I see."

"Yeah...can I come in?"

"Sure." She opens the door the rest of the way and steps to the side. "So what is the reason for your visit. Surely you don't need any clothes or anything, so what do you want?"

I grab her by the shirt and pull her closer to me. "You."

"You sure about that?"

"Yeah...I'm sure." To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure. Half of me really needed some pussy considering I haven't had any in a while, and half of me wanted to do this just to piss Aaliyah off.

Next morning, I wake up on the couch, to the smell of bacon. Smells real good in here. I sit up and check the messages on my phone. None from anybody that I actually want to talk to. I toss my phone beside me and go to the kitchen.

"Hey." I say walking in.

"Last night was a mistake. A big ass mistake." She says after turning around. "I shouldn't have slept with you. But I was vulnerable. I had just got in an argument with my boyfriend...well now he's my ex, and now this is something I'm gonna have to live with for the rest of my life."

"Chill out. Both our ass is grass if she found out....which is why she ain't gone find out. Last night, it was obvious that both of us just needed a quick fuck. That's it. That's all. Nothing more."

"You're right. This has to stay between us."

"I wouldn't dare tell anyone else."

"Good."

"...so does a brotha get some food?"

"Nope. A brotha can leave."

"Damn, it's like that."

"Yeah, it's like that."

"Aight then."

I grab my phone and keys, and bounce.

[A Day Later]

Today is Riley's field trip to the zoo. Even though the last time I saw Riley, she was scared to come to me, but I told her I'd come, and maybe since she's around friends, she'll ease into me being there. I pull up to the school, park, look over and see Aaliyah pulling up right next to my car. We both get out at the same time.

"What you doin here?" I ask.

"Probably the same reason you're here."

"Thought it was just gonna be me and Riley."

"Yeah, well she told me to come, so here I am."

"Alright, lets cut the crap. Lets be over all this bullshit, at least for today."

"Why haven't you been over to see Riley the past couple days."

"I was giving her some space...I'm sure you saw she wouldn't come out of the slide the other day."

"And I wonder why that is."

"Don't try and blame me when it's your fault."

"Woah...how the hell is it my fault."
