"Oh, my God," Elizabeth
said pulling back away from Conner. She couldn't believe it. They had just
kissed. As much as she hated to admit it, she had really enjoyed it. And from
the sparkle in Conner's gorgeous green eyes, she could tell the feeling was
mutual. Conner looked at her. "Why did you kiss me?" she said finally.
"Listen," Conner said softly. "I'm going to say this, and I want you to
know that this is totally out of character for me. But I'm gonna say this. I
ended our relationship because I was mad at you, not because I stopped loving
you."
"You still love me?" Elizabeth asked dazed.
"Well, you love me too." Conner shot back.
"What? How did you know?" she exclaimed.
"Tia told me, Megan told me, heck, even Jeremy told me. And I can see it in
your eyes."
Elizabeth looked at him, " So what does this mean? Do you want to get back
together?"
"Do you?" Conner asked.
"I…I don't know. You hurt me. I know I hurt you too, but you didn't
trust me. You didn't even give me a chance to explain. But when I'm with you
I just feel so…"
"What?" Conner asked, with fire in his eyes.
"I feel…" she trailed off as Conner's lips caught her's in a
passionate kiss. When they pulled apart, Conner looked into her eyes, "Well, I
have to go break up with Alanna," he said.
"Now? " Elizabeth asked nervously.
"Uh, yeah?" Conner said uncertainly. "Isn't that what you want?"
Elizabeth looked away and bit her lip. "I don't…I don't know."
"What? What do you mean?" he asked confused.
Elizabeth turned to him and placed her hand on his. "Listen, don't take this
in a bad way. We both messed up, but I want to know before I agree to get back
with you. I want…I need a stress free relationship. And honestly? I don't
have that with you."
Conner nodded, "Well, I need a stress free relationship. I just want to kick
back and have some fun!"
Elizabeth grabbed his forearm. "Now you're talking!"
Melissa walked into the
House of Java that night and was disgusted to find Jessica behind the counter.
But on the plus side Jeremy Aames was there too, and he was a total hottie. Too
bad he was with the wrong girl. She strolled up to the counter and heard a piece
of Jessica and Jeremy's conversation. "I just can't believe how crazy
Elizabeth is being. I mean she's hanging out with Melissa Fox! What's with
that? And the funniest part is that Will Simmons has the huge crush on her!
Isn't that a riot!" Jessica said.
Melissa paled. Her Will? He liked Elizabeth? Melissa blushed and hurried out
before Jessica could see her. How could Elizabeth? And they were even becoming
friends! And Will. She had trusted him so much and now he was crushing on
Jessica's look-a-like? Someone was going to pay.
Conner stood in Alanna's
driveway waiting for her to come home. Finally her sleek BMW pulled into the
driveway. "Conner!" she said surprised. "I'm so glad you found time in
your busy schedule to stop in and see me." She said sarcastically.
Conner ignored her attitude. "Listen, I kind of need to talk to you." He
said.
Alanna ran her fingers through her hair. "What?" she said warily.
"I…I don't think we should see each other anymore." He said carefully.
Alanna's eyes flashed. "Why?" she shouted accusingly.
Conner sighed, "It's just, I don't think our relationship is going
anywhere,"
Alanna placed her hands on her hips. "Don't give me that load of bull.
It's Elizabeth, isn't it? I thought you chose me." She said angrily.
"Okay!" Conner said. "It is her. I love her." he stated.
"You love her?" she said disgustedly. "Than why were you dating me?"
"I don't know." Conner said. "But I just know I can't be with you if I
love her. We're through, Alanna." He turned and got into his car and
didn't look back.
