Old Flames

[ Chapter 4 ]

For the past few weeks Aaliyah and Jayceon have been hanging out a lot. They've been on many lunch dates, dinner dates, but Aaliyah thinks that it's just friends hanging out while Jayceon is trying to gain her heart back. The only thing that is ever on his mind is Aaliyah and basketball.

"She'll come around." Jayceon's mom told him as he spoke with her over the phone asking for advice. Jayceon listened closely and hoped his mama was telling the truth.

"Are you coming to Sunday dinner at your grandmothers?" his mama asked him. Jayceon sighed as he forgot about Sunday dinner.

"We'll see ma." he told her.

"Well if you do, bring Liyah. I haven't seen her in a while." She beamed through the phone. Jayceon chuckled as he thought about the relationship, Aaliyah and his mama had in the past.

"Ok ma, I'll ask." they said their goodbyes and Jayceon hung up the phone. He flipped back on his couch thinking about Aaliyah, he loves her, he loves everything about her, her hair, her beautiful soft skin, her soft grey eyes, her sexy lips, her smile, her dimples, her toned body frame, her ass, but it's not just the outside of her that attracted him, he loved her petsonality, he loved everything about her. She was his match made in heaven. That was his girl, and only his. He made claim over that way back in high school, and he will remain the owner of her.

Meanwhile, Aaliyah was out shopping with her cousins Lauren and Stacey.

"So y'all have been going out on friendly dates with each other and you don't want to be more than friends with him? Are you stupid? I think you're stupid! Jayceon loves you! I mean this nigga loves you! But ever since that fucked up day, you've shut everybody out of your heart. You got a fucking metal plate around it or something." Stacey told Aaliyah, causing her to roll her eyes. They've been talking about her and Jayceon since they got to the mall.

"Ok so what if I don't want Jayceon! Its not your business or anybody elses. Last I checked a relationship was for two people, but y'all always butt in. Find out how to count and stay the fuck out of my love life." Aaliyah spat at her cousins and walked off. She was furious, just because they're older than her they think they're smarter, but how can they tell her about relationships and neither of them have men of their own.

Aaliyah went to checkout and after she payed she drove home leaving Lauren to ride home with Stacey.

Once Aaliyah made it to their home she walked upstairs and flipped on her bed. She layed back frustrated and mad at the world. She started to doze off from the restless day, but her buzzing phone prevented that from happening. Aaliyah grabbed her phone and noticed Jayceon calling. She pressed answer and spoke into the phone.

"Wassup." he said with his sexy voice.

"Nothing just leaving the mall with those annoying childish ass adults I call cousins." Aaliyah said causing Jayceon to chuckle.

"Yeah they called me and told me what happened. I think they should mind their business too, what's understood between us doesn't have to be explained." Aaliyah agreed to that statement.

"Hey, my mom wanted me to ask you if you wanted to join me at Sunday dinner this weekend. She really wants to see you." Aaliyah smiled, he hadn't seen Mrs. Richards in forever. She honestly missed her.

"I would love to." Aaliyah spoke with a smile. Jayceon smiled as he thought about the fact of seeing his mother and the girl of his dreams bonding once again.

"Okay beautiful, I'll see you later?"

"Yeah." Aaliyah confirmed. They said their goodbyes and hung up. As soon as Aaliyah slipped her phone in her pocket she heard the front door close and footsteps upstairs towards her room. Dhe knew it was Lauren and Stacey so she just played sleep.
