{one week later}

<Justin's POV>

Arden and I were working on our project. We only have one new week until it's due, but I've learned a lot about her.

"So where were you born?" She looked up from her paper to me.

" I was born in Jamaica, but I moved her to New York when I was three."

" wow that's so cool. I was born in California"

" dang, it's hot there isn't it?"

" very" she chuckled. " sooooo, do you have a boyfriend?" She froze and looked at me with a shocked expression a blushed.

" actually I do. We've been dating for a week now." She said hesitantly.

"Damn who stole your heart that quick?" I mumbled.

"It's um actually my best friend. I call him Rich, but you might know him as Daniel."

" oh well, I'm happy for you." I gathered my thing. " I'm gonna head out, I'll see you tomorrow."

" wait, Justin. What's-"

" it's nothing, I'm just tired. Goodnight Arden." I closed her bedroom door and made my way towards the front door.

" Hey white boy!" I heard Genova shout from the living room.

" what."

" hey don't catch no attitude with me, I don't play that.whats up with you and my sister?"

" it's none of your concern."

" it is my concern if it involves my sister. Now spill it."

" she's dating him."

"And? What's wrong with that?" I looked at her with soft eyes and she instantly knew what was up. " you like her.....don't you?"

" yes, an I thought she was over him, I thought she felt the same way, but I guess not." Genova walked over to me and put her hand on my shoulder.

" hey it's okay. There are plenty of other girls that would love to have you....trust me." She smiled at me and I smirked back.

" you think? "

" I know." I found myself leaning towards her lips and she leaned into mine.

Hen our lips finally touched, I felt something I couldn't explain. She threw her arms around my neck and I kept my hands on her hips as our lips danced. She finally pulled away and blushed.

" um I'm sorry."

"no no it's fine. I liked it..." She smiled at me and played with her hands.
