Chapter 9

Aaliyah's POV

I woke up to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. Last night seemed like a movie, filled with drama and romance, that I never wanted to end.

"Morning Beauty." Prod said walking out of the bathroom. "Ready to party!?" He cheered.

I froze.

" I completely forgot about my party, I don't even have a dress! " I panicked.

"Calm down Aaliyah, I'll take you dress shopping if you want." Prod offered.

I ran and hugged him.

"Thanks Prod! For everything."

"No problem. But now,you owe me!" He said grinning as he was looking through clothes in his suitcase.

"Owe you what!?" I said laughing.

"You'll think of something." He said in a flirty tone. "Now put this on so we can go." He said throwing me some clothes.

"Erica couldn't fit these either?" I said skipping to the bathroom to change.

"Shut up and get dressed." He teased.

I hurried and got dressed and we and we went to the mall to find me a new party dress. We looked around and Prod picked out a short sweetheart light blue dress with diamonds that looked like it would hug my curves perfectly. He had good taste but I personally liked the one I had at home.

"I'm telling you this color will look amazing on you." Prod said trying to persuade me.

"It's to bright and flashy for me.." I laughed.

"Your the birthday girl, your suppose to stand out! Just go try it on. And this one." he said handing me another dress.

"Fine." I said walking into the dressing room.

Prod's POV

I started looking around the store for other dresses that Aaliyah might like.

"CRAIG CRIPPEN JR!" Erica yelled from behind me.

Erica was the last thing on my mind this whole time. I completely forgot that I left her at the restaurant to go find Aaliyah.

"Erica! Thank God your okay!" I said hugging her.

"Where the hell have you been!? I sat at that restaurant for hours waiting for you! She snarled.

"Looking for you! I told you I would come back for you but when I did you were gone."

"I took a cab home. Cuz I thought your ass forgot about me! What happen?"

"Okay Pr-" Aaliyah said walking out if the dressing room with the red dress on."Oh.. I mean hey Prod what are y'all doing here?" Aaliyah said playing along.

"Yeah.. What are you doing here?" Erica questioned.

"Well I was here to get you something baby." I lied to Erica.

"Awwe thats so sweet! I'll leave you to alone. Hopefully I'll see you two tonight." Aaliyah said.

"Aaliyah wait.Take this just in case we can't make it. " I said handing her some cash and winked.

She smiled to let me know she understood what the money was for and walked away.

"You remembered!" Erica cheered.

"O-of course I did." I said having no clue what she was talking about.

"You've been the best boyfriend I've ever had! And to be celebrating our 2nd year together!"

Crap tonight was out anniversary.

"Me too babe. " I said kissing her forehead. "Let me finish up in here and we can go get something to eat. Okay?"

"Okay!" She said as she gave me peck on the lips before walking out of the store.

"Aaliyah I got to go." I yelled to her.

"Okay.. But before you go.." She said in a flirty tone as she walked out with the blue dress on. "What do you think?"

"Damn...." I whispered to myself my bitting my lip.

"It's-"

"Aaliyah!" Princeton said cutting me off. He walking up beside me looking at Aaliyah from head to two.

"Prince!" She said running up and hugging him. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you. Me, Diggy and Tia have ben looking for you like crazy. He panicked. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, calm down I'm fine."

He took a deep breath.
"Okay.. " He said smiling. "You look beautiful by the way."

"Thanks." Aaliyah said blushing.

"Oh hey Prod." Prince said acknowledging my presence after 2 minutes.

"Sup. Umm can I steal Aaliyah for a second?"

"Sure."

I took Aaliyah's hand and we went into her dressing room.

"I gotta go. I don't think I'll be able to make it to your party either. I forgot today was me and Erica's anniversary an-"

"Okay Prod. I get it. Just two less people I have to worry about." She said in a irritated tone.

"Look Aaliyah, I really wanted to come but I cant just ditch my girlfriend to go to your party." I said.

"You've done it before." Aaliyah said cockily.

"I only done that to help you. I could have left you out there in the rain." I snapped back copying her tone.

"You know what. I didn't ask you to come and help me Prod. You done that yourself. I would have been fine without you, I always have been."

"Good. Cause you never had a chance to have me." I lied as a unlocked the door an stormed out.

Aaliyah's POV

I sat in the dressing room crying my eyes out. Did Prod really mean what he said? I didn't want to believe it but the damage was already done. My heart was just broken into a million pieces.

"Aaliyah, are you okay? ." Prince said knocking on the door.

I quickly wiped my tears away.

"Y-Yeah."

He opened the door and sat down beside me.

"What happen?" He asked and he hugged me passionately.

All that did was make be cry harder.

"Don't cry over someone who isn't worth you tears Aaliyah." Prince said trying to cheer me up.

"I know it's just that-"

"You don't have to explain. I'm here now and I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you." Prince said and he wiped a tears off my cheek and have me a promising smile.
