Thread: A Former Love :: Relix/Zexy

Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah, Aaliyah! How many time could a person hear their name within a single breath? Actually no, the real question should have been how many times could a person actually say a long name in a rather excited manner within a single breath? If that person was Emily well...obviously a lot. What is it Em? A raven haired girl lay sprawled across a large water bed, yes water bed it was weird but not like she could do anything about it, her hour glass frame clothed in nothing but a orange tank top that popped nicely against her brown sugar skin, 36D bust comfortable and covered as well as a nicely rounded backside. Long black locks let lose around her body, slightly damp and waving up, clinging to her face, back, and hips, emerald green eyes focused on the novel in her hands. She was reading, or at least she had been reading, until a certain blond haired little vixen distracted her from her imagination, bringing her back into the world of reality, no matter how much she really didn't want to be there You've finished unpacking right? The blondie made her way into the room, a bright smile across her tanned features as she gazed down at her friend. Yeah... So you should go to this great party with me! Everyone from the group is going as well as a few of our hosts to say ' Welcome to Paris'. You are coming right? Um... Come on Aaliyah, please.. I'm tired Em. Jet lag probably. I just want to lay down and go to sleep. In reality she wanted to do nothing more then lay here and read her book. Actually no, not even that. She wanted to go out and explore the streets of Paris on her own for a little while. Was it good for a little foreign girl to be out and about in an unknown city by herself? No, probably not. But her friends were interested in partying and a multitude of other things rather then sight seeing and the arts. If she had asked them to come they would have certainly laughed at her and tell her to lighten up. So Aaliyah decided to save herself the embarrassment and not ask at all. But Ali... I said no Emily. You go ahead and have fun ok? It was obvious that the other girl was no longer as happy as she was when she came in. Her smile now replaced with a saddened pout. But it won't be any fun if you aren't there. Yes, yes it will be. Placing a book mark in between the pages of her book Aaliyah stood up, walking to her friend, wrapping her arms around her for a light embrace. Now, I want you to go out and enjoy yourself. Just make sure you take the extra room key so I don't end up locking you out. It was silent for a full three minutes before the other girl spoke. Her tone filled with disappointment. Are you su- If you ask me am I sure one more time I'm throwing you out of something. Out the door, and that would probably be it. Aaliyah loved her friend to much to let any real harm come to her or do any real harm to her. Fine. Feeling the girls arms slip from around her the raven haired girl helped her friend to gather her things, sending her out the door a few minutes later. Finally. She was alone! Aaliyah smiled as she watched her friend drive out of the hotel parking lot and onto the road, emerald eyes sparkling with joy. After a long day of waiting she would finally get to see the streets of Paris! Not from an aerial view, not from the window of a car, but by actually walking around an experiencing it. Of course, she felt a little bit dork for being this excited over a city but she couldn't help it. For some reason the girl had a serious love for art, music, culture...The older it was the better in her opinion. More things to study, more thing to learn about, old things were just...they were just so much better. And living in America there weren't to many things that were really old. After all it was one of the younger countries of the world and as a result did not have a lot of old culture to study. Stripping herself of the tank top she wore the girl rushed her way to the closet, grabbing a random combination of clothes and putting it on. A pair of tight blue jeans and a dusty gray corset with black lace. It wasn't to bad, not her best random choice ever but not like she was getting dressed to go out on a date or head out for dinner. She was simply doing a little sight seeing and getting to know her way around the area. After all, she would be here for the next three months. Actually, she and the other twenty four students of the Hampton University drama club would be here for the next three months visiting another college group. They had raised the money for the trip though multiple fundraisers and a little help from the school and as soon as they had all the money they needed the leader of the club immediately purchased the tickets. Finally, after a few months of waiting they were able to head out to the airport earlier this morning and arrived here in Paris no more then three hours ago. Some of the students dropped their things on their friends and went to go find the nearest clubs immediately, others went to their room to unpack then left, and then there were the people that just went to their rooms and went straight to sleep. Grabbing her purse and her jacket Aaliyah headed out of the room, locking the door behind her before quickly making her way down the halls. She was excited and she probably needed to calm down before she tripped and fell over something. Then again she would probably do that anyway, excited or not. Even though the girl looked as if she would be some what graceful she really wasn't. She was the type of person that managed to trip walking up the stairs and down the stairs. The type of person that could fall over while standing up. To her friends, both male and female, they thought it was the cutest thing ever and loved her for it. And apparently seeing her on the ground, getting ready to cry because of a scrape on her knee or her leg turned some of the guys in her group on quite a bit. It was a little disturbing. Ok no, scratch that, it was a lot disturbing. But that aside she found her little trait completely undesirable and thought it to be the most embarrassing thing ever. She couldn't understand how she worked as a waitress for three years in high school without ever dropping a plate or tray. Then again that felt completely natural for some reason. She was comfortable doing it like she had done it a thousand times before or something. Of course as soon as she walked out into the open city air she could feel her body begin to shake with anticipation, with want. She knew she had wanted to get out and see the city but she wasn't quite sure why she was this excited. Like she had been here before and was visiting after a long time. Funny thing was she had never been to Paris or any where over seas for that matter. Maybe she was going to have a fateful encounter here or something. As weird as it may have sounded she was the kind of girl that believed in fate, love at first sight, reincarnation, spirits, that everything not matter how big or small happened for a reason...If it was out there she probably believed in it, as long as it wasn't to far fetched. She had been raised in a house where an open mind was needed and nothing else was excepted. And as much as the thought it was weird when she eventually grew out of that mind set and learned to accept things and think of things in a different light. Of course, because of this she was thought to be some what of a little loony among the people that didn't know her that well but she could honestly care less what they thought of her. What anyone thought of her for that matter. As much as she hated to do the typical girl thing when first arriving to the city Aaliyah couldn't help herself. She went shopping. Not for clothes, shoes, or jewelry mind you but for different things. Beautiful fabrics and threads, a couple of sketch books and colored pencils, some really old books, and other things of the odd nature. She wanted to spend her time looking around but if anything she had certainly learned her way around a few of the little shopping districts during her few hours out and she had no problem with that. If anything she would have something to show her buddies tomorrow. Or well, those that actually wanted to go with her and had nothing better to do with their time. This probably isn't the safest thing ever. Aaliyah murmured to herself as she walked, her eyes focused on the book down in her hands rather then the semi busy side walk in front of her. Not like this was something she had done before, actually this was how she spent her time making her way though the busy halls of school in between class periods. Swaying a bit to the side as the wind blew she held her book tightly, trying to keep the pages from flying all over the place, only to drop the book a few moments later. She ran into something, something cold and hard actually. She hadn't seen any wall there. Looking up she blinked, she hadn't walked into a wall. She had walked into a man. A very gorgeous man but a man none the less. Snapping out of her dazed state she stood up, rubbing her back side a bit with a frown. It's alright no need to apologize. I wasn't paying attention to were I was going so it probably wasn't your fault at all. She couldn't help but to smile as her bag was brought back into possession, quickly making sure all of her things were inside of it. Like I said, my fault. It's alright.. Even though she was speaking to him she was still doing an item check. She would be really angry if she couldn't find anything that she had paid for today. Her eyes gazed away from her bag for a brief moment at his good bye. That sounded really...familiar but she couldn't put her finger on where she had heard it before. From a movie maybe? And I you. For I imagine your journey is much more treacherous then my own. And where the hell did that come from. Did she read a pirate novel or something while on the plain and not remember it? It was possible. Deciding that she had everything she shoved her hands into her back pocket, watching as the man made his way down the road, her hand gently rubbing her arm. Even though they had only touched for a brief moment it felt really...nice.
