Pleasure Over Business

Chapter 14

Christian has Zack by his neck, pinning him against the wall. Their is a scratch mark visible on the side of Christian's face. Zack is laughing with a mouth full of blood.

"Christian! Please! Stop!" I plead, running over to him, and hugging him from behind.

"Aaliyah?" He drops Zack and turns around. A tear fell from his eye."Aaliyah!" He yells, smiling. He pick me up and twirls me around. "I missed you so much." He whispers in my ear as he put me down.

"I missed you a lot too, baby." He looks down at me, and cups his hand over my cheek. He kisses me hard and passionate; I rap my arms around his neck pulling on his hair. He pulls me in closer, and rest his hand over my butt.

"Hey! There are other people in the room." Rose yelled. Christian and I backed away from each other, but began to stare into each others eyes. "Hey! Over here!" We snapped out of it and turned to her.

"Sorry." I said, taking my hair out of my ponytail. "Now what happened?" I question. Zack suddenly begins laughing.

"What is wrong with you!" Rose snaps. Zack stops, and shrugs.

"Come here, Zack. Let me get you cleaned up." I said taking him by his hand.

"Aaliyah, I-"

"No Christian, I want to talk to him. Alone." I pull Zack up from the floor and walk him to the bathroom.

"What did you do?" I question him as I look at his mouth. "Zack?"

"I told him what happened." He says softly. He steps back away from me to look in the mirror. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair.

"Why would you do that? Hold on I will be right back."

I left the bathroom and went into the kitchen. What I saw in the living room made my heart skip a beat. The glass vases were broken, some of the pictures on the wall are knocked down, and everything else looked lopsided.

"What the hell! Really, Christian?" I whined.

"What?" He smirked at me. I pass by him to get the salt and water. Rose stops in front of me and gives me a hug.

"I missed you so much, sweetie!" I couldn't help, but laugh.

"I missed you too." I grab the salt and water, and walk back to the bathroom. When I walk in to see Zack was trying to wash out the blood from his mouth. He looks up at me with the a miserable facial expression.

"It won't stop bleeding." He whines.

"Here mix this together and gargle with it. Do not swallow." I said. Without the cup, he pours the water into his mouth along with the salt and spits it out.

"Never again will I do that." I shrug and he sighs. He walks out the bathroom to sit against the wall across the hall. I fallow behind him and scoot down behind him. "Listen I know I'm going to get huge lecture on how what I did was wrong, but hear me out first." He says. I nod for him to continue.

"I thought what I did would get Christian back for what he did-"

"It wasn't even his fault." I interrupt, he sighs and runs his fingers through his hair.

"Let me finish..." He sounds frustrated. I crossed my legs and waited for him to continue. "I loved her more then anything, I felt like she was all I needed. When she tried to get with Christian, I had a new outlook on things. I didn't know who else to blame, but him."

"Why didn't you blame it on the girl? She's the one who fell for Christian. You should of got her back for it."

"I tried, but she didn't want anyone else other then him. When I saw you two together I knew he really did cared about you, and you weren't just one of those girls he used to fill the emptiness in his heart. He hasn't loved another woman like he loves you ever since our parent's died. I forgot about that when I kissed you...and I'm sorry."
