"Maybe" Aaliyah says.
"I like it," I say." It's nice"
The sweater I'm trying on isn't nice, I just can't seem to stop thinking about that girl. And plus, how do I know where to pick her up tonight she didn't give me her number or anything.
"Nah. It's not really for you," she says "considering we're in the girls section!" She giggles.
"What?!" I yell, surprised. " Aaliyah why didn't you say anything!"
"Because I thought you were going for some kinda new look I don't know."
She busts out laughing, drawing attention to us.
I'm not the type of guy who likes a lot of attention, so this made me uncomfortable, but whatever was going on in my head distracted me, I can't explain what I was thinking about but I know it was about Aaliyah almost like a flashback but it wasn't a memory.
"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked
I remained silent.
"Are you ok?" She continued.
"I'm fine just thinking" I replied.
"Wow I've known you for so long and that's the first time I've ever seen you think," she said jokingly.
"HaHaHa," i sarcastically add.
"Where's Matthew ?" I say as I realize he's not here.
"Matthew?" She says puzzled.
"Yeah he was here earlier." I explain.
" I don't know, i didn't see him," she says still confused.
"Whatever he's probably chasing some girl." I say.
Matthew was defined as a ladies man, if he was talking to a girl it's because he liked her that's why he never usually hangs out with me when Aaliyah is around. And we hang out a lot, he's always there when I need him though like earlier he helped out with that girl, he's a good guy.
I'm ready, I'm not going to blow this, I can do this. I walk out towards my car and get in, as I start up the car I realize I still don't know where I'm going.
"Hey," I hear a voice from behind me in the backseat and next thing I know a girl is crawling up between the seats and sits down in the passenger seat.
"Hey, I say realizing it's the girl from earlier.
"How did you get in here?" I ask.
"You left the doors unlocked." She replies.
" yeah but how did you know where to find me?"I persist for answers.
"I have my ways." She says, and leans in for a kiss. As soon as our lips touch I forget our conversation. There's something about this girl I get lost every time I see her.
"Hey, ummm I know this is weird but I didn't catch your name earlier."
"Oh don't worry about it,"
"Uhhhh ok but what's your name?"
"My name is Winter."
"That's a cool name."
"Thank you,"Winter blushes and looks down at her feet.
"Where do you want to go for dinner?" I ask trying to be a gentleman.
"Ohhhh uhh can we go to the movies and just have popcorn to eat?" She says with a begging smile.
"You read my mind." I say and smile right back at her.
While we are driving I see something or rather someone on the side of the road. It's Aaliyah she's too cute still looking out for me she waves and I slow down and roll down the window. She doesn't say anything and gets in, she's crying.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt but can you take me home please." She sadly says.
I look at her I notice something around her right eye, it's a bruise.
"Hey, who did that to you?!" I say raising my voice.
"No one, can we just go." She says avoiding eye contact.
"Tell me." I say even louder
"Okay, okay it was...."
