Chapter 8

Deep Down I'm Still in Love

[Jade's POV]

We walked into the house and Shiloh ran upstairs quicker than I could blink my eyes.

What in the hell happened to her?

I closed and locked the door behind me. "Tori!" I yelled.

"In the kitchen!"

I made my way to the kitchen to see her eating up the last of my, my strawberries.

"West! What do you think you're doing?" I said as I made my way in front of her.

"Eating strawberries." She said innocently as she took another bite. "You know, you remember when you use to call me Vega?" She laughed.

"Yeah well I still would if your last name didn't change. Now stop eating my strawberries before I eat you."

"I kind of like the sound of that, so I'll keep eating." She took another bite.

I smiled at her freak mind. "You know that's not what I meant Vega!" I smiled.

She smiled and popped the last strawberry in her mouth.

"Spit it out." I demanded

She shook her head.

"5….4,"

She crossed her arms and lifted a brow while holding the strawberry in her mouth without chewing in up.

"3…2, don't let me get to 1."

She smiled holding the strawberry in her teeth. I reached to grab it but she wouldn't let it go.

"1." She took off running, but I caught her after a few seconds. I grabbed her and threw her over my shoulder and ran to the den tossing her on the couch. To my surprise the strawberry was still between her teeth unharmed.

I got on top of her and let my lips met hers as I stole the strawberry from her teeth.

"Never eat my strawberries West, they belong to me." I said as I got off of her and chewed up what was left of the fruit.

She came and jumped on my back which caused both of us to tumble to the floor.

"Oh you want to fight?"

"I'd win." She said smiling.

"Really?" I turned and pushed her down which made her fall to her back as I climbed on top holding her down. "Doesn't look like it West."

She smiled and next thing I know I felt two fingers glide across my center with the exact right amount of presser which made me let out an air moan.

She took that as an opportunity to roll me over so now she was on top. She kissed my neck and slid her hand all the way down my stomach passed my belly button as she let herself inside my pants. She started gently stroking my center through the last layer of clothing that disconnected her from the real thing. "T-torriii" Her lips met mine as she grabbed the side of my panty line and pulled it aside. She teased as she let her finger circle around the swollen nudge that so desperately needed attention. I bucked my hips up to make her finger slip to that special spot, but she removed her hand and pushed me back down. "Who told you to move?" She broke the kiss and looked me in my eyes but didn't let me answer as she let her finger return but this time no teasing as she let her middle finger push gently on my clit like it was a button. The feeling let bolts of relief throughout my body. "Ughh Fuck Toriii." "Oh now I'm Tori?" She asked as she let one finger slip into me. I gripped her arm and let my nails sink into her skin. "uahhh oh my godddd." She let her fingers slip in and out of me first slow than gradually got faster and faster. My back arched and I could feel my body tensing. "fuck Tori I'm cu- I'm cu…fuckkkk Tori, Tori, Toriiiiiii!" My nails dug deep into her arms as my whole body went into the air as I climaxed.

After about a minute or two of catching my breath I glanced over at Tori who had a wide smile from ear to ear. "Told you I'd win." She winked as she got off the floor and walked back into the kitchen leaving me behind.

Sure hope nobody heard that…..


[Stallone's POV]

"What!? Jaylen no way he said that. We've been friends since middle school, I've would of known if he liked me."

"I swear he did yo. He told me he liked you at school. He asked me to talk to you for him. He's just a scaredy dick." She said as she sat back on my bed leaning against the head board.

"Exactly how did the convo go dow-"

RING, RING, RING

I glanced down at my caller I.D.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Who is it?" Jaylen said as she snatched the phone from me. "Haha! Yo answer it. See what the hoe wants." She said as she handed me back the phone.

I stared at the caller for a few more moments before I clicked the answer button.

"Hello?" I said in a low hurt voice.

"Stallone." I heard the familiar voice say. Even though I've heard her say my name hundreds of times before, this time it was different. This voice made my heart speed up dramatically. This voice made me so mad, but at the same time so calm. This voice had effects on me that I can't even put in words.

"Wha-wha-why are you ca-calling me Essence?"

"I miss you Stallone." She said calmly.

Her words made my heart ache, but feel good at the same time. My heart was in a million pieces, but she still had some of those pieces, and I could not move on without them. Deep down I still love Essence. Deep down I want to just run to her and hug her and kiss her and pretend nothing ever happened. Deep down I want everything to be the way it used to be. Deep down I still want her to be my wife and I still want to spend my life with her. My mind is saying no, but half of my heart is saying yes.

I know I sound retarded or something, but I just can't forget about Essence. I can't get her out of my mind no matter how much I try. I say I hate her, I say I will never forgive her, but it's not true. I'm still weak for her, I still think about her. I want her back, the only reason I haven't ran back is because my mind is smart enough to tell my heart no. Essence was my first true love. I just can't forget about her. She's everything to me.

Evelyn has also stolen some pieces of my heart. I want to love her and I want to be with her, but I can't, because deep down I'm still in love with someone else.

"You, um, you do?"

"Yes baby. I do." She said in a tone that just made me so weak that a faint moan escaped my mouth.

"Can I see you this week?"

She's asking to see me? I haven't chilled with her since the accident. I see her at school all of the time, but we never even look each other's way and now she calls me out of the blue and asks can she see me? What do I say? I say no of course, but I can't. I can't say no. I love her. I love her.

"Uh, yeah. Sure." What the fuck are you saying Stallone!? This is the bitch that broke your heart. This is the bitched that lied to you for 2 months! This is the bitch that cheated on you with your BEST FRIEND! Have you gone you mad Stallone? What the fuck?

"Okay. How about Friday after school?"

No Stallone don't do it. Say no! "That's fine."

"Okay. I'll see you then. Love you." With that she hung up.

I sat there with the phone in my hands staring at the wall. I couldn't believe what I just did. I just agreed to a slick date with the girl that broke my heart in one of the worst ways possible.

Why does she still have this effect on me?

"Um Stallone, you okay there?" Jaylen waved her hand in front of my face.

I snapped back to reality and stared at her with tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe what I just did and most of all, I couldn't believe that I was still in love with Essence Rodriguez.


[Jade's POV]

I walked up to Shiloh's room and gave it a light knock.

"Shiloh dinner's ready." I said softly leaning my head against her door.

"I'm not hungry Jade." Her voice was weary.

"Can I come in?"

"No."

"Please Shi." I begged her.

"No just leave me alone please. I don't feel good."

"That's what I want to talk to you about."

"I don't want to talk."

"Please honey." I scrunched my face at my own use of pet names.

"Jade please. I promise you we will talk, just not right now. Not yet. I just want to rest. I feel kind of sick."

My eyes got wide. "You're not pregnant are you?" My words came out angrier than I intendend.

"What? Jade no! Please just leave."

Who is she to tell me to leave?

"Alright. I love you Shi."

"I love you too Jade."

What in the hell is wrong with her?
