I was given the option between heaven and hell, good or bad and I made my decision to fall prey to the seduction of hell itself. Never in a million years would I have chosen this course in path. I told myself that I would concur with the arrangements with the blonde haired girl for the sake of maintaining my reputation, everything that I've built in my lifetime, but I discarded my hard work and fidelity to myself and parents as I enjoyed the pleasure pooling in me whenever Dinah explored the depths of my body.

I enjoyed the feeling so much that I voluntarily allowed myself to be trapped in the seat of the back of her car with her, Dinah's long, skillful fingers tracing my skin to a place that I never experienced. Her lips moved at an increasing velocity against my own as she nibbles on my ear lobe, jaw line and gliding down to my neck.

"Dinah..." I exhaled a shaky breath as I threw my head back in pleasure, moans suppressing from my heated lips. "I have to go."

Her eyes flickered up to meet my own as she hovered over my body, brown eyes piercing into my own.

"No you don't baby, stay with me."

I exerted all of the will power I obtained to push her away and I moved into a sitting position; evening out my tousled hair and slightly risen skirt.

"Yes I do Dinah. My parents will kill me as I'm already arriving home late."

I moved to get out of the car as the Polynesian girl followed behind, retracting me towards her body. Her lips curled up into her infamous smile and I swooned, my heart fluttering at her appearance. Her golden tresses was molded into a messy bun as she wore her usual outfit. Her lips met mines once more and she pulled away shortly and I frowned at her ceasing the touches.

"Goodbye, Dinah." We bid our goodbyes as I turned to venture away to my own destination and the revving of her car sounded as she speeded away.

I entered the house almost an hour past when I was originally supposed to be there and I cursed at my carelessness of being there on time.

My other and her church friends were congregated in the living room, gossiping about a woman whom they had distaste for.

"Mani?" My averted my gaze to the voice and was met with a beaming Ally Brooke. Ally is in the senior class at my school as we grew accustomed with one another with assistance of attending our church sessions. She was a short, caramel haired girl who had a versatile amount of talent and what made her more so angelic was her vow of protectiveness and loving spirit.

"AllyCat!" I embraced the older girl in a warm hug as she peered up at me, breaking the hug. "What are you doing here?"

"My mom thought that it would be a pleasant surprise if we stopped over and she had me come along with her and Jason. But, it was rather boring hearing them countlessly converse about that woman, Michele, they feel that she's a disgrace to this town because she's a stripper."

I nodded my head along to her statement as I subtly agreed. Using your body in that way was wrong in a plentiful amount of ways but I can't blame her actions, her predicament of living on the street with no food and shelter would result to her new livelihood.

"So where's Jason?" I questioned as I recalled her mentioning his presence there.

"Right here." The familiar masculine voice caused a smile to plaster itself on my face as he approached the both of us.

Jason was Ally's cousin but he lived in her household as a result of his Mom passing away and his father going to jail because of selling drugs. My intuition could tell that he saw me as more that a mere friend but I wasn't interested as he was just a brother to me.

While the adults continued to talk amongst themselves, us three carried on a eventful conversation as we shared the things that occurred in our lives that day. The Brooke's eventually left as they noted how late it was getting and they nodded their heads in farewell as they made their exit.

I attempted to make it up the stairs but failed miserably when my mother called me back down.

"Don't think that I wasn't aware of your lateness Normani. What good explanation made you an hour late?"

I bit my lip in anxiety as there was no way in hell that I was going to be honest about my real whereabouts, making out with the towns' bad girl in her car.

"I got distracted with Lauren and Camila, not even realizing the time until later on."

I could tell that she wasn't buying it but she merely her head in thought.

"Well be more mindful next time before both me and your father will have to escort you home." She warned and I nodded in understanding.

"It won't happen again."

My sleep was inconsiderately disturbed that night at the repetitive sound of pounding. I was in a daze as I wandered over to my bedroom window, peering down to be met with Dinah who withheld a handful of rocks, attempting to take aim again before I halted her actions with my presence.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I whisper-yelled, cautious of my parents whom were asleep across the hall from me.

The blonde grinned as she threw the pebble into the air and observed it settling back in her hand.

"Come on, I'm taking you somewhere."

I huffed in disbelief. 'Does this girl not understand that it is flipping 2 AM currently?'

"No Dinah. Unlike you, I abide by my household rules and I will not betray the trust of my parents my sneaking out the house with you."

"How about this," Dinah stated, contemplating her next response. "Either your fine ass can come down here right now or I could throw a rock at every single window until your folks wake up. I would personally love to meet them."

I shook my head in disbelief as I reluctantly gave into her request, throwing on some warm clothes. The predicament I was in was unsettling as I couldn't figure out how I would get down there. One step on the creaky floorboards and my parents will be wide awake.

"Climb down the tree." The blonde stated as if it was the most obvious solution known and I rolled my eyes.

"Do you really think that I'd risk my safety just to venture out on a rendezvous for you? The devil is a lie if you believe that."

The younger merely chuckled as she lifted her arm, readying herself to take aim at another potential window and I halted her movements, siding with her suggestion.

"That's what I thought."

It was as if my heart dropped into the depths of my stomach as I placed my right foot on the branch, attempting to steady myself. With the helpful guidance from the Polynesian, I managed to reach the ground and I almost lost my balance without Dinah's steady hands wrapped around my waist.

Her plump lips greeted mines as she beamed down on me.

"Hey baby girl."

I shoved her away as she directed me to her car and we both settled in before she drove off to an unknown destination.
-
"Where are we going?" The question constantly escaped past my lips, meddling with the air and the I was given the same response, 'you'll see when we get there'.

The notion of knowing of my whereabouts was eating at me as it provided myself with security. We drove up a lengthy hill before parking at the edge of the cliff. I followed behind Dinah out of the car as she pulled me on top of the hood, our shoulders touching as my legs dangled from the top. The setting was tranquil, the stars scattered around in the sky displayed a soothingly, calm tone. The mountain top overlooked the town as the street lights looked miniature, twinkling in the distance.

"This is so beautiful." I gawked, mesmerized at the simplistic beauty that nature could withheld.

"Yeah it is." My intuition noted that she wasn't talking about the scenery but me as her eyes raked my body, resulting in me being tense.

Her hand roamed up the fabric of my jeans, moving under my shirt at an agonizingly, slow pace as I could feel the chill of the air caress my skin. Her lips ghosted upon my lips before finally touching them. The homely taste of her lips were sinful as I melted into her warmth. All of this was wrong, my back resting on the hood of the car while her fingers worked expertly removing my clothing as she hovered over me, but I couldn't deny the emotions that I contained whenever she presented me with affection.

I moaned against her mouth as she trailed a shaky finger down my core before entering without warning. I arched my back as I was in pure ecstasy for once doubting everything that the preacher vouched by. The sound of a zipper snapped me back into the real world, my own version of 'paper towns' that caused me to move from underneath Dinah.

"I need to go home." My breathing was jagged as it took an immense amount of will power to say those words, knowing that I'd rather be here with her but being exposed to the outside world like this was risky. I was playing with fire.

"Relax, Mani, we were just getting started." Dinah attempted to place her lips on me once again but I remained firm, straightening my posture.

"I mean it Dinah! Bring me home!"

The intensity rising in my voice startled the younger and I involuntarily softened my expression. She huffed in dismay before helping me off the roof of the car and I hurriedly slipped on my clothes before she drove me back to my dwelling.
-
"What's wrong?" Dinah's eyes sparked with concern as she forced me to look into her eyes.

We remained in her car that was parked in the front of my house.

"I don't like doing these things with you because this is not me at all and I have limits. I wanted to be a good representative of this town, someone that young girl's could aspire to be but her I am contradicting my own self. What makes it even worse is that you're using me for pleasure, not love."

Dinah nodded her head in understanding before resting her hand on my own.

"I show my actions of love for you in ways that is hardly visible but I couldn't use you for merely something as mediocre as sex. Yes you're very tempting but I only aim to pleasure you with your rightful consent. I've had my eyes on you for a while Ms.Kordei and I wasn't planning on letting this offer slip past my grip." She placed a chaste kiss on the corner of my mouth before I exited the car, being met with the chill of the night air.

I ventured into my backyard, climbing up the small tree, and entering my dimly lit room. My mind was racing as I flopped down onto my bed, fatigue washing over me. I would do everything in my power for god to forgive me of my unholiness but Dinah is the forbidden fruit and I am tempted to take another bite out of her.
