"Hey, maybe I can help," Justin said, sitting next to her on the couch.
"I doubt it," Alaina replied coldly.
"Let me see the problem," he asked. Alaina placed the book in his hand and watched as he went over the problem in his head. "That's easy. The answer's 37," he said, giving her the book back.
"How the hell did you know that?" Alaina asked.
"I did graduate high school, plus I like math and all that stuff," he said smiling.
Alaina gave him a strange look. "Whatever," she mumbled, returning to her work.
"So anyway, have you seen Joey lately?" Justin asked.
"Have you checked Tracy's mouth?" she asked.
Justin couldn't help but laugh. "Come on. Leave them alone, they like each other," he said, continuing to laugh.
Alaina smiled and watched as he laughed. She found herself getting hypnotized by his eyes and smile. She had this sudden urge to kiss him. She tried to hold herself back, but it wasn't quite working. She moved over and quickly sat on Justin's lap, straddling him, and kissed him. Surprised by her actions, Justin at first backed away, then kissed her back. Their kiss grew into heavy passion. As Justin placed soft kisses down her neckline, Alaina realized what was happening and quickly came out of her daze. "Oh my God. We can't do this. God, I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry," she said, scrambling to get off Justin's lap and collect her books.
"Wait. Why can't you just give in to what's happening?" he asked.
"I can't. I just can't," she said, running out of the back lounge and slamming the door.
"Dammit!" Justin said, punching the air.
Alaina backed up against the door and slid her body down. "Why can't I just let myself love him?" she asked herself. "I can't do this anymore. I can't put myself through this," she said getting up and walking back into the lounge.
