We Don't Choose Love

Chapter 14

Liyana

I knock gently on Aaliyah's bedroom door, hoping that she is still not upset at me for my relationship with Shuiab. Surprising me to the core, she immediately opens the door with a smile. "You can come in." I gladly walk into her room, feeling slightly comfortable with her vibe. When we are both comfortable on her bed, we look at each other for a while. This is so awkward.

"I'm not angry at you."

"I'm so sorry Aaliyah."

We say at the same time, making the situation even more awkward. Soon we are laughing at ourselves, Aaliyah just always makes the situation lighter then it is. "If you honestly uncomfortable with me being with Shuiab, I will leave him for you. You know that right?"

"I know, that is why I won't be a bitch and tell you to leave him. While you were sleeping, I talked to him. I'm fine with it, he really cares for you ha?" She asks, holding her giant teddy bear close to her chest.

"I think so, I'm just not sure where all these feelings came from." Aaliyah laughs, throwing her head back with amusement. "You guys always liked each other, it is just that you never wanted to acknowledge it. At least now, you dumbasses can finally be together." She is so rude sometimes with that mouth of hers.

"Oh wow!" She narrows her eyes at me with a smirk. I know that look so well, she is about to say something bad, "One important detail though." Oh no, what inappropriate thing will she ask now?

She clamps her hands together with a sly smile, "So how big is he? " I frown, not understanding her. "What?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot you are clueless about this. How big is his dick?" I choke on my own saliva after she asks me so bluntly. This girl though, I shake my head too fast.

"We haven't slept with each other." Now it is her turn to choke with shock, "What?" She exclaims while coughing.

"We haven't had sex at all. We are not rushing things." She rolls her eyes sarcastically, "Yeah definitely, Shuiab going down on you is not rushing things." I feel myself getting hotter from the statement, Aaliyah is too blunt sometimes. "He didn't even do anything because you barged in. What happened anyway I thought you were with Refilwe and Abby?"

"Dude actually, I sort of had sex with someone." My eyes widen. Even though Aaliyah is very outgoing and crazy, she was never the kind to give herself to anyone. In fact she was the virgin till now, who the hell did she sleep with?

"Sort of had sex with someone? Who the hell did you do?" Aaliyah actually genuinely turns red from my question, "Ok, so I met this guy and he is called Sipho right. So I basically met him when I went to the strip without you, so basically we vibed and we exchanged numbers. Ok, so we talked and talked then I realised that he was a cool dude, I liked his vibe. I started to like his personality, the other time I went out to the strip, we made out for a long ass time. We didn't sleep with each other even though we went to his place. We ended up playing Uno instead of making out."

"Then how did you have sex with him if you played Uno?" She holds up her hand to shut me up, "I'm not done yet. Anyway so we went on a date and we made out again, fifth date, which was yesterday, things got hot and heavy. Bam! Next thing I knew we were fucking." I take in every thing she has just said.

"How was it?" I ask her and she bites her lower lip shyly, "I'm a screamer dude, it was so fucking good like yoh Liyana.... That was magical. I mean I won't lie, it was a bit painful at first but he was so gentle, making sure I was fine and everything. Goodness, this guy makes me so crazy. You need to meet Sipho." I can't help but smile a bit, imagining Aaliyah kissing a black guy.

"I need to meet him. Have you told your mom yet?" I ask her. Aaliyah and her mom are practically like best friends, they tell each other everything from little things to big things. She shakes her head as she widens her eyes, "Mom will definitely freak out, I mean she has been asking me if I have a boyfriend and stuff. But I honestly don't think from the bottom of my heart that she will be chilled with me having a thing with a black guy. You know how Muslim parents are, it is easier to marry your own kind because we already know each other's traditions and Sipho is like Catholic. I'm not sure if I would convert for him, this is too complicated." She puts her head on the teddy bear's stomach.
