“Let me guess? You invited me over to try and throw me off you by emasculating me, right? Want me to tuck tail and run so you could feel justified in your actions? Want to write me off as an emotionless meathead who used you to torture his sister while his parents cheer him on? That’s what you think of me? You think I’m that heartless that I’d use you as collateral damage?”
“Jabari—”
My arms wrap around her thighs as I pull her up, making her legs secure around my torso. “I like you, okay? I like you a lot. I respect you. Try your best to respect me.”
When her back hit the bed, her whole attitude changed.
She arches into me and exhales. Pretty green eyes look stormy and glossed over, like she’s in a daze. My lips find hers immediately, kissing away all her fears, letting her know she can enjoy this moment. She mumbles something against my mouth and I try to press through it but she mumbles on and on until I pull away.
“Shut up and let me kiss you proper, man.”
“I don’t like kissing, Jabari.” She’s out of breath and flustered but I guess.
“Okay. What do you like, Jelly?”
“I wanna get eaten out.”
My eyes rise to my forehead.
“What’s wrong mister straight talker? Never ate pussy before?”
She's back with that defense she had from before. I’m noticing she doesn’t like taking things slow in bed.Interesting.
“Of course I have.”
“Then do it.”
“Francine. Stop speaking to me like that. You want something from me? Use your words and ask.”
She rolls her eyes. “This is stupid. Just do as I say.”
“I’m serious. Come correct or I’ll leave. And I bet you don’t want to spend the evening with that toy I see charging on that game console.”
She narrows her eyes at me but I’m unmoved.
“You wanna get fucked, be a big girl and ask.”
“The big comment was unnecessary.”
I stand upright.
“Okay! Okay. Fine.” She stops me.
I put my hands in my pockets. “I’m waiting.”
A sigh comes first, then she repositions herself. “Jabari.”
“Yes, Jelly.”
“Would you be so kind as to do me a favor and eat my vagina?”
I can’t help the smile that appears on my lips. We can both be funny after all.
“Now or next week?”
“Now works best for me, I think. How about you?”
“Hmmm. I don’t know, Frankie. I still feel like you should apologize for what you did today.”
