We Don't Choose Love

Chapter 6

"What do you want to talk about us?" She gives me a look that says seriously. "You can't tell me that you came all the way from your room just to hit your foot against my bed." I scratch my head, feeling embarrassed about the incident.

"What you said in the kitchen before the movie started really made me feel like shit." She interrupts me by saying, "Good." I ignore the good comment and I continue talking.

"I didn't mean to hurt you, that is the last thing I would ever want to do for you. Hurting you is like hurting myself and it is not nice." I explain to her, she looks at me with caution. "Why would you say it was a mistake?"

"I'm sorry. I was just confused about what happened, what scared me the most is that I enjoyed kissing you. It felt right, like this is how it is suppose to be you know. That scared me because I never realised that the reason why I use to come to your house a lot is not only because of S'bu but mainly you. Seeing you every day, no matter how bad it was, made me happy. I should have known that I liked you since I knew what feelings were.

I also thought about S'bu, if S'bu finds out that I like you and I kissed you, he'd probably cut me off and kill me. I could never choose between you too. I know how much he cares for you and I don't blame him with my reputation. Also religious and cultural differences, too many things to consider that can strain our relationship."

Liyana gets up from her position, she stands in between my legs before hugging me. "So you were rude to me because you didn't want to complicate my life?" She asks, I hear the amusement in her voice. This girl though.

"Are you amused?" I pull back to see her turning red from preventing her laughter. "You are so cute when you are nervous." It doesn't help that my heart is beating frantically at this point. I'm sure she can feel it because her chest is pressing against mine.

Her face is inches away from mine, I slowly lean in and before I know it, our lips touch immediately. I get butterflies in the pit of my stomach as I feel her lips press harder and harder, her hands moving to the back of my neck to play with my baby hair. The way her lips move so swiftly against mine makes me forget about the world completely. I pull her closer as our kiss deepens, she smiles into the kiss.

I bite her lower lip causing a low groan to leave her mouth. I gently ask for her entrance with my skilled tongue but she denies me of it. I chuckle before kissing her harder with the perfect amount of force to shock her into opening her mouth with a gasp. I steal that opportunity and I massage my own tongue with hers. We both get lost in the kiss, enjoying the taste of each other.

"Mmm Shuiab..." She murmurs against my lips before pulling back, breathing hard. "I think we need to go sleep, we both can't be tired today. It will be suspicious." I nod with agreement as I get off the counter. I love how taller I am then Liyana, she has to look up at me to stare into my eyes.

I grab her hand, pulling her back into me and she giggles a bit. "Shuiab." I roll my eyes, lowering my head to kiss her forehead, nose then lips. I hear a peacefully sigh leave her lips as I give her a long sweet peck. I've never been this gentle kissing anyone before. Liyana makes me become a giant softie, I don't know what we are currently but we like each other. So that is good enough for us right now.

I walk her to her room, "I'll see you." I say to her and she rolls her eyes, opening the door. She kisses my cheek quickly and walks into the room before slamming the door in my face. I walk calmly to my room with a lazy smile on my face, thinking about Liyana. Who knew I'd ever be into her but I always enjoyed talking to her.

She always has a silly comment to say to me and she is so forgiving even when she is hurt. I start thinking, how will we do this? We can't tell Aaliyah because she will go berserk on Liyana and we definitely can't tell S'bu, he'd probably throw me into the sun.
