AALIYAH One second, Aaliyah was on him.She glided against his sweaty member as their eyes met each other. She was on top and he was below, his arms raised behind him as he muttered some words while the corner of her lips formed a smirk.Their was music behind the sounds of their voices as Dele suddenly began to jerk forward. You could see the veins through his neck as it fell backwards, shutting his eyes. “Aaliyah” Her name was the only word between his lips as she too closed her eyes—Her lips curled to form an O as she increased her pace, she didn’t mind the movement of her hair on her shoulders. The rising and falling, the jerking like the person underneath, the low slapping sounds that was slightly overshadowed by the music. And then she found herself falling forward, holding his arms together as the moans increased by the second.

MARIA“So tell me?” My lips pressed together in a pout. I laid across a semi bed, you know the retractable ones that somehow got you to sit up and still stretch your legs. My eyes trailed it and went up the machine that my hand was connected to intravenously. Yet i turned away from the sight——and i faced him. Alejandro. He had spent the entire morning with me. The entire mornings of the past days and even though i hadn’t completely forgotten that last time we were out, i was willing to give it a shot. So i asked again, “So tell me?”“Tell me about her. The woman that swept you off your feet after i was gone” I said so casually that he burst into a chuckle before clearing his throat.“She’s—” He paused, arching his brows. “She’s nothing compared to you. Nothing like you” My eyes dazed and i chose not to react to that sentence. Perhaps it was my brain forming up sentences and scenarios as a side effect of the chemoth

AALIYAH FOUR MONTHS LATER.Everything had changed. With my parents by my left and Dele sitting close to me on the hospital bed. I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?That was the prevailing question, surprisingly.NOWMy ears trailed every other letter that followed. Every word and every requirement. My eyes, doubled by a squared glasses had known no rest for the past ten hours. And then for once—

JACQUELINE NOWI fell to the ground. I was pushed, with my hands tied and a clothe around my eyes to prevent me from seeing where exactly i was. As i reached the ground, it felt heated like there was some sort of fire and i could instantly hear the sound of a man——as if he was on a call.I struggled to stand immediately at the sense of being let go off and i realized my legs weren't tied. Perhaps that was the point, i could move but i couldn't see but somehow i couldn't walk. It's like seeing the world but not being able to touch it.Knowing you have something, but not being able to reach it. And it was more torture as i kept stumbling on little things until i couldn't stand anymore. I could not even use my hands as any sort of direction, they were tied. And as i laid on the ground, i had wandered what exactly happened.I had wandere

AALIYAH Meanwhile, Aaliyah hadn't moved. She wanted to so badly meet up with Wu because of Jacqueline but then she was shocked by her sister——and her sudden appearance.Ayeesha had shown up after nineteen years or more, pulling her in for a lasting hug as she just dropped a weighty bag to the ground. Just one.Aaliyah was perplexed, not even hugging back, she was in utter shock as she made contact with Dele."Wha—" Her attempt to speak had failed. Words even had failed her. Aaliyah as she pulled her away, she had tears shimmer in her eyes before she looked away. "Sister" Ayeesha echoed, sniffling also she raised her hands to Aaliyah's cheeks.She backed off, surprised as Ayeesha slouched her shoulders and finally she could speak. She had opened her lips so wide as if she was about to deliver a powerful monologue but all that came out
