Adam's POV

Things between me and Aaliyah have been going steady since we been together. Everyday after I first showed her my paintings we really hit it off. We had lunch almost everyday, and I always walked her to and from institute. 

"Earth to Adam." 

I snapped out of my thoughts. 

"What?" "You were just staring off into space" she said. "Sorry. Just thinking." "About?"

"Nothing just stuff" I lied. She looked at surroundings. The sun was just starting to set at the beach and the carnival on the boardwalk added to the amazing site. "It's beautiful" she breathed. Our eyes locked and I slowly leaned forward to capture her soft lips that tasted like cherry. I softly grabbed her face so I could deepen the kiss. I couldn't help myself but I quickly pulled away. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to take control like that" I apologized.

 I didn't want to rush her into anything she wasn't ready for. She's told me about all the heartbreaks she's had. I wanted to wait until she was ready.

Aaliyah's POV

I pulled his face back to mine and kissed him just as passionately. He pulled me into his lap not breaking the kiss. We both pulled away to catch our breath. "Let's get out of here" I told him.

We got into his hotel room and scrambled to get on the bed. I threw his shirt off and was unbuckling his belt but I stopped. "We can't do this." His breathing was heavy. 

"What?" "I just can't." I got off the bed but he stopped me. "Aaliyah, if this is moving too fast." 

"I don't think I can do this again, not now." I moved out of his grip. 

Did I really want another heartbreak?'

"Aaliyah! Wait!" 

I went down the hallway to my room and cried. Cried because I didn't know what my heart wanted.
