turning to get the door for her. I was so ready to be over with this bullshit.
    “You’re not going to let her kick me out, are you Dennis?” She asked.
    “Goodbye Alana,” Dennis replied quickly.
    “If I walk out this door Dennis, I’m never coming back. It’s either me or her?” She said as she practically shouted at him. Jeez, did she have to throw an ultimatum at him? I guess she’s pretty desperate then.
    “Her,” Dennis said a little too quickly.
    “Fine. The hell with the both of you,” she stopped in front of me and gave me a ‘this isn’t over’ look then stormed out. I closed the door then walked back to the living room. Dennis followed as he leaned up against the wall facing me. He started laughing, I don’t know why but I joined him.
    “You’re welcome,” I said as I sat on the couch where they were only a few minutes ago.
    “So , we only play the girlfriend card on your terms?” He asked with a smile.
    “Exactly.”
    “I’m actually disappointed that you interrupted us,” he said.
    “I didn’t interrupt anything. From what I saw, I saved you.”
    “Oh really? And you know that how?” He teased.
    “She was forcing herself onto you and you were clearly not interested.”
    “Touché,” he said while smiling. At least we were having a nice conversation for once, teasing one another instead of fighting and wanting to rip each other’s throats out. It felt nice for a change. “Are you ok?” He asked referring to Alana’s bitch slap. He sauntered up to me and used the back of his hand to caress my face where I was slapped. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as his hand made contact with my skin.
    “I’m fine,” I whispered. It was totally unfair and unhealthy for him to have this much power over me and my body.
    “Did I seem i nterested when you kissed me?” He murmured.
    “I wouldn’t know,” I said truthfully.
    “You have no idea do you?” He whispered.
    “No idea of what?” I asked confused.
    “Forget it,” he said while shaking his head. “I’ll be in my study if you need me,” he turned and walked away leaving me feeling helpless. All I could do was to stare at him as he left.

 
    Chapter Six
     
    I’ve spent most of my time in my study doing nothing but staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out what just happened between Alana and Angelina. I can’t get over how a girl I have been trying to avoid my whole life ended all in one day. I laughed to myself; the look on Alana’s face at some of the things Angelina was saying to her was priceless. It was just weird that Angelina could see plain as day that I wasn’t interested in Alana but be so completely blind to the fact of how much I needed and wanted her. Okay, maybe that it my fault for being so cold towards her for the past week or so, but I only did it in a useless attempt to get her out of my system. She expressed no warmth towards me, while driving me crazy every second of day. I tried to stay away from her and not stare at her unless I had too. I couldn’t help it though. I didn’t want her to think I was obsessed with her. I smiled to myself.
    She was in every thought I had. I couldn’t get her out of my head no matter how much I tried to avoid it. Now, I feel like my whole world is seemingly revolving around her. I had to be honest with myself that my feelings for her went deeper than lust. I had to come to reality that Alana was right. I was in love with Angelina. I took a deep breath; it felt good to admit it to myself, like a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I always thought I was incapable of loving someone. For me, staying distant was always a better option. It was a way of protecting myself. But to be honest, I fell in love with her from the moment her picture appeared on Colin’s computer monitor. I was just too blind to realize it. Now the question is, where do I go from here? Things between us are torn at the moment. I’d be lucky if she ever wanted anything to do
