“Damn? Straight like that? So, you just talk them out their drawers? No dinner or a movie first?”
“I never really had to do all that,” I answered in a cocky tone.
Shorty drew back a little and looked me up and down. “Oh, it’s like that?” she ran her tongue across her top row of teeth.
“Straight like that.” I didn’t even blink.
“And you’re single?” she clarified.
“As a dollar bill.”
“Take my number.”
And that was what I did. By the time she traipsed off, I was feeling the effects of the edible and the liquor I was sipping. I sat down at an empty table because Ryan and Melody were playing pool. I was a person that never cared about going anywhere alone or being alone. After my drink, I was going to shoot a little pool and then take it in. Rhapsody came over to the table and set her empty cup down.
“I hope this isn’t awkward. I wasn’t sure if you and Maurice were friends, but I’m just here with Melody,” she explained. “It’s nothing like that.”
I stared at her a bit before speaking. I didn’t want to care, but seeing her smiling and talking to Maurice made me feel things I had no business feeling. “You’re a single woman, right?”
“And make no mistake about it. I’m going to date and have fun. But I don’t homie hop. This isn’t that. It will never be that.”
“You gon’ date and have fun, huh? Watch how you talk to me.” I didn’t want to hear that shit.
Rhapsody shook her head lightly. “Okay, Blaze.”
“Can I have you tonight?” my eyes bore into hers.
“Sure.”
Three hours later, I was tipsy as fuck pumping in and out of Rhapsody while she moaned and dug her nails into my back. “What was that?” I kissed the corner of her mouth. “I didn’t hear you.”
“Blaze,” she crooned while digging her nails deeper.
“Open those eyes,” I commanded. When she did, a nigga almost lost his player card. I wanted to tell her to dead all the dates and having fun shit. I wanted to stamp that pussy and make it mine. If she wasn’t with it, she wasn’t with it. Tipsy or not, I wasn’t gon’ play myself. So, instead of saying what I wanted to say, I stared into her eyes while I sexed her.
“Who else had this pussy?”
“Nobody.”
I pulled out of her and did some shit I hadn’t done in over a year. I lowered myself until my face was between her thighs, and I sucked her clit into my mouth. Rhapsody was losing her mind as I gripped her thighs locking her into place. I French kissed her pussy before slurping her clit into my mouth like it was a piece of ice.
“Oh my God, Blaze!” She squealed and clamped her thighs around my head as the flood gates opened. I had never let a woman cum in my mouth. Not even Andrea, and her ass took three showers a day.
Rhapsody hungrily sucked her juices from my lips as I pushed back into her. Each time I had sex with her it got better. Never had I fallen for a woman that was living her best single life and wanted no parts of a relationship. As Rhapsody cupped the sides of my face and tongued me down, I knew I was in deep trouble.
A week later, I walked into the gym and saw a young nigga that wasn’t her trainer all in Rhapsody’s face. She had to be my karma for all the women I’d hurt in my life. She was the only woman I’d ever dicked down the way I dicked her down that wasn’t damn near begging me to commit to them. She really wanted to remain single and unattached, and the shit was starting to piss me off. I just had to figure out if I wanted her simply because of the chase or if I was really into her like that. Rhapsody was cool as fuck. She didn’t crowd me. She let me breathe and didn’t ask me a thousand questions. We could go three or four days without talking and when we finally did talk, she didn’t have an attitude. There was no “where have you been”or “who you been fucking?” she truly didn’t care and that made me want her ass even more.
I had to check myself because there were plenty of women that I could have sex with but since the first time I slid up in Rhapsody, I didn’t want to deal with anyone else. I didn’t know what the hell was wrong with me. I never even felt like that about Andrea. She was tired of us just fucking, and she gave me an ultimatum. I liked her for sure, but had she never told me she was going to be out unless she was my girl, we never would have been in a relationship. Later, her trying to give me an ultimatum to propose to her was where I drew the line.
I went into my office and did payroll along with making the schedule for the next two weeks. When I went back out to the front, the lil’ nigga was still in Rhapsody’s face, and I was pissed. When his bitch ass finally left, she came over to me and had the nerve to smile.
“Hey.”
“Don’t come over here speaking to me after you was all in that man’s face and gave him your number.” I felt lame as fuck, but I was being honest.
“Blaze, what happened to you’ll never trust another bitch?”
“That still stands,” I replied adamantly.
