Old Flames

[ 21 ]

Aaliyah woke up to the love of her life laying next to her. Aaliyah ran her hands through his curly hair, and across his face. He let out a low groan before opening his eyes.

Aaliyah stared into his deep brown eyes getting lost in thought. She couldn't help but think about all that they've been through these past few weeks. All the lies, the betrayal, and no matter how hurt she was, or how mad she was, she couldn't stop loving Jayceon. That's why she's in this bed right now staring into his chocolate brown eyes, that's the only reason she accepted his apology.

"Goodmorning." Jayceon greeted. Aaliyah gave a small smile, "Goodmorning."

Jayceon grabbed her hand and kissed it before getting out if bed to handle his morning business.

Aaliyah watched as he walked casually to the bathroom, she watched each mucsle in his back contrast. Aaliyah bit her lip as she watched her sexy fiancé walk into the bathroom. It's been a whole month since she's had sex, and before her and Jayceon went at it everyday, and this past month has been hell for her.

She sighed as she focused her eyes somewhere else. She glanced down at her left hand and didn't see the shiny diamond that normally graced her hand.

She got out of bed and dug around her LV luggage. She looked into the pocket and found the ring. She twirled it between her fingers. It was beautiful, it symbolized the love and care Jayceon has for her.

Staring at the ring, she lost herself in thought. She thought about how their relationship was in high school, how it got ruined and how fate brought them back together. She smiled but a few tears escaped, the memories her and Jayceon shared were bitter sweet, but she wouldn't trade them for the world.

"You ok?" Aaliyah heard Jayceon ask from behind her. She turned around and looked at the sexiest young man staring at her. Jayceon stood in the doorway with nothing but a towel on, water still lingering on his body, Aaliyah just stared at his body getting lost in her inner freak until Jayceon cleared his throat.

"Sorry." She mumbled. Jayceon sighed, "Li, I'm sorry. I truly am, I never meant to hurt you." He admitted. Aaliyah sighed, she was tired of hearing that especially if she's not mad anymore, she's just disappointed.

"Jayce, you can stop apologizing. I'm not mad, it happened, it's in the past." Jayceon shook his head, "Li you don't understand, I'm seriously sorry. I put you through stress, you were in the hospital, you were heartbroken and hurt because of me. I never meant to do anything to hurt you, I love you with everything in me. I don't want to lose you." A tear slid down his face, catching Aaliyah off guard. She stood up and walked over to him.

"Baby, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere, you got me." She said as she wiped away his tear and wrapped her arms around his waist. She cried silent tears into his shirt. Jayceon held her, he didn't want to let go. He loves Aaliyah more than he loves himself. She's his heart, his pride, his everything, without her he's nothing.

"I love you." He told her, meaning every word that came from his mouth. Aaliyah looked up into his eyes and smiled, "I love you too." Aaliyah stated.

Aaliyah kissed Jayceon before she got up to shower. After ahe freshened up, she walked downstairs. She could smell bacon, pancakes, eggs, and buscuits. She looked in the kitchen and saw Jayceon cooking.

Aaliyah walked up behind him and grabbed a piece of bacon. Jayceon smiled as he shook his head.

Once he finished preparing breakfast he served Aaliyah. The two sat at the breakfast bar sharing a peaceful meal.

Aaliyah would occasionally catch Jayceon staring at her, she would smile and advert her eyes back to her food.

Once they were finished eating, Jayceon washed the dishes then prepared to leave for practice. Aaliyah just sat and watched as he packed his practice bag, she really didn't want him out of her sight just yet, but she knew he had to work.
