I turned around and sure enough, there was Josh. Damn, does he go away? I glared at him as he looked me up and down. I looked at Leah and she looked like she was going to hit the guy. I dont blame her, I felt that way too.
"Who's he?" Josh snapped, looking at AJ, who had protectively put an arm around my waist.
"My boyfriend, now as much as I would love to stay and talk, we were just going to be on our way," I growled.
"She's great in bed, huh?" Josh asked looking at AJ. AJ's face got flushed with anger as he went to hit Josh. I grabbed AJ and begged with my eyes for him not to do anything.
"Yeah, she gets freaky!" Josh exclaimed looking at me. This time I got pissed. I slapped him as hard as I could across the face.
"Bitch!" he yelled in my face. Leah went up and kneed him in the crotch.
"Fuck you Josh," she snapped. Just then Nick and Megan rushed up to our circle.
"No fuck you Leah!" he shouted, holding his crotch, I almost felt bad for him. Almost.
"Lets go," I ordered. The guy at the stand just stood there watching the whole thing. I glared at him and took AJ's hand, he put his hat on and we all began to walk.
"Im sorry AJ," I said looking up at him.
"For what?!" he asked. His face looked so gentle when he looked at me. I smiled and looked down for a split second and then back at him.
"For Josh," I answered.
"Its not your fault baby," he said kissing my forehead.
"Thanks Leah!" I called to her. Her and Brian were walking a little ahead of us.
"No problem babe. I hate that asshole!" she claimed.
Megan and Nick were walking next to us, engaged in a conversation I didnt want to interupt. I looked at AJ and he looked down at me.
"Im ready to go home," Leah complained.
"Me too," Megan said, looking incredibly tired.
"I want to get something to drink first," I said as we neared the food court.
"We'll meet you back at the apartment," Leah said walking towards the doors we had come through.
Megan and Nick were right behind them. AJ and I walked into the food court area and I knew I wanted a strawberry banana slushee. AJ and I got in line and waiting impatiently for the woman in front of his to quit ordering her mile long list of wants.
"Can I help you?" asked the woman.
"I just want a strawberry banana slushee," I answered. She prepared my drink and handed it to me and then looked at AJ.
"Coke," he said smiling.
We paid for our drinks and went and sat down at a bench. We watched people pass and argue. It was entertaining, I guess.
AJ put his arm around me and I moved closer to him. He turned his head and kissed my jaw line and then my cheek. I giggled, I felt like I was in high school. ( guess what song is on? That one by Mark Anthony that I love :::SCREAM:::)
"You're so beautiful," he whispered in my ear. I blushed at his breath tickling my ear.
"I want to kiss you," he whispered. I could feel a smile on his lips.
"I cant think of anything but you," he said and I turned to him, a huge smile on my face.
AJ pressed his lips to mine and kissed me and like every time we kiss, everything around us disappeared. It was AJ and I, again in our own world. I loved being here and I think it's safe to say that the first time I saw AJ, I fell in love.
"You're so beautiful," AJ told me for a second time. I smiled up at him and kissed him once more, short, but very sweet.
"Why cant you say things like that to me!?" a girl sitting on the bench next to us, scolded her boyfriend.
"What?" he asked confused. I looked up at AJ and smiled. He was smiling back at me.
"Let's go baby," AJ said taking my hand in his.
We walked to his car and got in. As we were driving home, I looked at passing cars. I cant believe Im in the car with the guy I only saw at the mall less than a week ago.
"Let me love you down. Even if it takes all night," I sang to the radio.
Finally we pulled up to the apartments and we went into mine.
"Im going to go change," I told AJ and walked off towards my room.
I changed into jean shorts (even though its like 40 degrees outside) and a tee shirt. I walked out into the living room, in the process of pulling my hair up in a messy pony tail. I was shocked. AJ was lighting my candals and Tony Braxton was softly playing on my radio.
"What's this?" I asked slyly.
"May I have this dance?" AJ asked walked over towards me. He held out his hand. I took it and smiled. He brought it to his face where he kissed it.
"You may," I answered. AJ wrapped his arms around my waist as I did around his neck. We swayed to the music, we were losing ourselves in our dancing. I loved dancing in AJ's firm, but gentle embrace.
"Melissa, I know I havent known you very long, but I feel a connection," he whispered into my ear. I pulled away from him and looked into his eyes. Tears were forming in my eyes. That is exactly what I wanted to hear.
"Am I being to forward?" he asked. (note to readers: Would I be too forward if I told you how I feel?: hee hee)
"Not at all," I answered. AJ kissed me softly, then more passionatly. He slowly led me to the bedroom.
