could not take his eyes off her.
     
    “What?” she asked. She was feeling uncomfortable under his watchful gaze.
     
    “You have finally grown into your head.”
     
    “What is that supposed to mean?” she asked, as she put her cup down.
     
    “You had a big head,” he teased. Aaliyah's jaw dropped open. He laughed whilst she tried to deny it. She had not changed much. She still reacted the same way when he teased her.
     
    “You're not funny,” she said to him when she realised that he was teasing her. Some things never change; she thought to herself. Perhaps it was a good thing. Then maybe they could go back to the way things were.

Chapter 6
     
    Joseph and Aaliyah exchanged accounts of their lives as they shared stories about what they have been doing over the past six years. Aaliyah could not help but admire how much Joseph had accomplished since graduating from high school. In some ways he was still the same though, he still made her laugh and get that warm, butterfly feeling inside. As he drove her back to her hotel, Joseph told her how much he had missed her. Despite their time apart, they still held a deep connection.
     
    When they arrived, they exchanged numbers and promised to meet up again. Joseph was going to be off in two days and they decided to get together. As Aaliyah kissed his cheek before walking away, she wanted to pinch herself. She hoped that she didn’t come across as some lovestruck teen, but that is exactly how she felt.
     
    When she got back to her room, she collapsed on the bed with her hand on her heart. She was filled with so many emotions, it was overwhelming. She was so happy to see him, but she was afraid of what the future had in store for them, as she knew that her aunt and uncle would not approve of their relationship even though she was of age. And she still ached for him, it was all too much. She wasn’t sure how she was going to wait two days until she could see him again - at least without breaking the law!
     
    A knock on the door made her jump. She opened the door to find all the girls standing there smiling mischievously, especially Sara.
     
    “What?” Aaliyah asked.
     
    “How did it go?” Soraya asked. Aaliyah shrugged her shoulders and let them into her room where they made themselves comfortable.
     
    “Where is Amir?” Aaliyah asked.
     
    “He had to get back to the office,” Soraya replied. She was already missing him. Although it was under unfortunate circumstances, she was glad that she had gotten to see him.
     
    “How long will you keep us in suspense?” Sara asked.
     
    “He had to work, so we did not get to spend much time together,” Aaliyah said. Kaleena and Sara both frowned at her.
     
    “Stop holding out on us.”
     
    “I was just about to say the same thing,” Kaleena said to Sara. Aaliyah laughed. She walked over to the bed and sat between Sara and Soraya.
     
    “Well, before I could even tell him who I was, he already knew.” Aaliyah was so lively as she spoke. Her face lit up and she had a huge smile. “We went for coffee. It was so nice to see him. It was just like old times,” she added.
     
    “Look at this glow she has,” Sara pointed out. Keira took Aaliyah's hands in hers.
     
    “Isn’t it amazing when an old romance can be rekindled?”
     
    “My sister reads too many romance novels,” Kaleena said sarcastically. Sara laughed and agreed, but Keira dismissed them with a wave of her hand.
     
    “We have to go to the spa,” she said as she jumped to her feet.
     
    “What for?” Aaliyah asked.
     
    “You need a full body makeover. The next time you see him, you need to look perfect.”
     
    “I agree,” Kaleena chimed in.
     
    “I am sure he loves you for you not for your make up and stuff,” Sara pointed out. She disliked makeovers. It was too difficult to sit still for that long.
     
    “You need one as well,” Keira pointed out. Sara raised her eyebrows. “When you return home, your husband will be
