"Say "Come and get it" !" Janet says. Tanisha and Jordan were posing in front of her camera waiting for a picture to be taken. We were all at home. Quannell, Tyrell and I were sitting on the couch, checking back to watch what was happening. Denzel was in the kitchen, looking from afar. Mum and Tyler were facing Tanisha and JJ number, who were posing for the next photo to be taken. It was their prom dance and they had decided to go together. Tanisha was in a long purple silk dress and Jordan wore a generic black ensemble with a tie and tissue that matched his partner's dress colour.

"Come and get it.?" repeated the two hesitantly.

"They should go now, if they don't wanna be late." commented Tyler, looking down at his watch. Denzel directed himself towards the entrance door, as he was their driver. Ty, Quann and I got up from our seats and directed ourselves that way too.

"You never told me about you and J..." I whispered to Tanisha.

She gave me a soft smile. "I didn't really feel like mentioning it, you know." She answered shyly.

Oh she likes him likes him

"Can we go now ?" asked Denzel impatiently. Tanisha and Jordan began to put their shoes on.

"He's impatient because he's supposed to meet up with-." Jordan started to talk before getting interrupted by Tyler.

"I'd like to have a small talk with the lad before they leave." Said Tyler, grabbing J by the shoulder. They walked away to the hallway.

"Sir ?" Jordan asked. His back was facing us and from where they were standing we couldn't hear them, we could only see Tyler's facial expressions and he had a smile on his face.

"Your parents died but I can still talk to your uncle and aunt. Do you want me to tell them about what kind of activities their nephew and niece partake in ?" Jordan's eyes widened. "Uh-uh. Don't look back, young man, I'm talking to you. Janet is still clueless about it but I know. I know what you and the rest of y'all crew are up to. Get close to Tanisha and I'll expose everything to my close friends, the cops, and have you arrested before you even turn 18. Do you understand me, young blood or is English not your first language ?"

" I understand you sir."

"Good. Good now go... oh and keep a smile on ya' would you?"

Denzel drove the couple to their school. Arriving in front of the building he parked the car and froze in front of the wheel. "Sha get out, I have to talk to Jordan." Tanisha glanced over at J then got out of the car. "Don't...Do not listen to what Tyler says." he continues. He was still facing the wheel and didn't bother looking back at J but his tone was serene.

"You heard what he was saying." asked Jordan, shyly.

"Nah, but whatever comes out of him is rotten, you feel me ?" He replied. "I don't know what ma saw in him..."he mumbled to himself before continuing. "Forget about him and enjoy yourself tonight. I'll pick y'all up whenever, just text me, aight ?"

"Yeah. Thanks Denzel."

"Get outta here now." And so he did. He got out of the car and Tanisha and him entered the school together.

They moved along the slow melody, his hands around her waist, attached tightly. Her arms were wrapped to his neck, the sexual tension between them was inevitable. "I wouldn't want to spend this moment with anyone else." he murmured in her ear.

"Me neither..." Answers Tanisha in a soft voice.

They continued dancing during the following songs before leaving the dancefloor. Jordan and Tanisha stood near the appetizers, both holding drinks in their hands.

"It's the only time our school actually seems normal. No fights, no vandalism, shit feels off." said Jordan. Tanisha nodded her head acknowledging his words, still sipping on her cup of juice. "Wanna dip ?" he asked, putting down his goblet.

"You think we can ?"

"Ain't nobody guarding the doors. Plus the prom king and queen are getting announced. Let's go ?"

"Let's go." replied Tanisha. He grinned, took her hands and they escaped through one of the gym's back doors. Full of excitement they ran outside. The night was still young, the sky had just turned dark and the stars were glowing above their heads. They sat down on the field, looking up at the shining sky.

"You look amazing Sha..." He said, looking at her face from the side. Grabbing her hand, he brings it close to his mouth and lays a soft kiss on it. He keeps his eyes glued on Tanisha's eyes while swaying over her knuckles.

"Are you tryna seduce me ?" she asked smirking.

He lowered her hand from his mouth, not breaking eye contact. "Depends. Do you feel seduced by me ?" he answered in a smoky voice. The sensual tension had risen even more. It was only a matter of time before one of them jumped on the other. They paused. Inches apart from each others faces, their eyes were staring at one another's lips. Jordan leaned in.

"Hey you two !" shouted a voice from afar. It was one of the teachers whose job was to enable the students from leaving the dance floor. Obviously having failed he tried to redeem himself by exercising his authority as a teacher.

"Fuck..." grumbled Tanisha. They rapidly got up and ran away. The guard also began to go after them.

"Sha." says Jordan, in front of her. He pulled back his hand and she strongly held onto it. They managed to escape back inside the school and running through its hallways seeking for the nearest hiding spot, they entered the men's showers.

"Why are you smiling ?" questioned Jordan. They were sitting on the floor, panting side by side.

"I just feel safe with you. Like nun bad can happen." She says. Jordan muffles a laugh. "Don't laugh at me, I'm serious !"

"I'm not laughing !" denies Jordan.

"Yes you are Jordan !" argues jokingly Tanisha. She went on top of him, sat on his laps and placed her hands firmly on his shoulders. "Laugh again, I dare you bitch." she frowned.

"Shut up bitch." His hand moved to the back of her head and pulled her closer.

"Never." She replied. Her hands were cupping his face as she leaned in with a small smile. Their lips touched shortly before they started embracing each other. Jordan's lips discreetly wandered down her face, to her neck. Tanisha let out a breathy sound, pulling back her head as she wrapped herself closer to him. Her hand was pressing Jordan's head against herself while her hips slowly began to move. Jordan's jaw was tightening as he felt her motion on him. He threw his head back, slighting letting out a groan. As he was pulling his head back, she grabbed his hands and laid his palms on her chest. Their foreheads were against each other, both eyes looking down at Jordan's hands. He took in sight of her breast and started pressing and squishing.

"I can take off the top..." she suggests. "I can feel you pressing into me..." Right away his hands dropped off her breast. "Are you holding back ? Don't. I want you to continue."

"I want to wait till marriage." He confesses. She stays quiet. Noticing her facial features glow down, he places his palm on her cheek. "I already know I want to spend the rest of my days with you, Tanisha... Can you wait a bit more for me ?" he adds, softly placing another kiss on her lips. Her eyes stay shut for a few moments afterwards.

"I love you." she mumbles quietly.

"Huh ?" She slowly opens her eyes and locks them with her beloved. "Oh...I love you more, Tanisha Jackson."
