“Okay, I got your little ass.” he picked me up.
“Put me down!” I screamed.
He playfully swung my body around, while I held on tightly to his neck. “Yeah, talk that shit, now.”
“Jahrein, stop!” I was scared that he was going to drop me.
“Let her go, Jahrein.” Shell laughed, as she called herself joining in on our fun. She was grabbing his arms, while jumping all over his back.
“Man, get the fuck off of me.” he snapped as he jerked his shoulder away from her. “You better stop playing with me girl.” he told me. “You better go home and change.”
“Put me down.” I demanded, trying to play hard.
“Okay.” he nodded, as he pretended that he was about to drop me on that hard ass concrete.
“Jah, Jah. Stop it!” I shouted, as I gripped his neck even tighter.
Finally, he placed me back on my feet. “I aint playing with you, girl. Your ass is changing.” he ordered, as he pulled me off the court.
“Jah, you coming back?” Shun asked as Jahrein pulled me away.
“Yeah, I’ll be back.” Jahrein lied.
“Man, that nigga aint coming back out until tomorrow. Watch and see.” Tony shook his head.
As soon as we were out of earshot, Jahrein started. “Man, why you came out here in these short ass shorts?”
“Cause it’s hot.”
“Then you should have stayed your ass in the house. The AC work now.”
“So. I like hanging outside too. You think you’re the only one that needs a little fresh air from time to time?”
“Man, fuck that. When you lifted that shirt, I could see your ass. So, I know all those other niggas did too.”
“Well, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Whatever. Don’t come back outside like that tomorrow, Raven. I’m letting you know right now.” he said softly as he unconsciously held my hand as we walked down the street. I thought about pulling my hand away, but changed my mind. I didn’t see any of our parents’ friends around, so I said fuck it. I let him hold my hand, while he gazed down at me making my stomach feel funny. Yeah, I was cool, until his words dawned on me.
“What do you mean about tomorrow? I’m coming back outside in a few minutes.”
“No, you’re not. I’m tired. I aint coming back out today.”
“What that got to do with me?”
“What? Man, don’t play with me. I need you to ride this dick. You can hang with those sluts tomorrow. And how did you learn how to play basketball like that?Shit, you made me realize that I got to work out a little more.”

I really didn’t mind being with Jahrein. I felt extra special. I was able to get him in a way that all the other girls only dreamed about. With every touch, I felt that our bond was strengthening. He had a way of making me feel that no one else came before me. I even loved when we had sex, but it was just that Jahrein was so nasty when we were behind closed doors. There wasn’t anything that we had not tried; he would even lick my ass. He said that my body was so perfect and he loved to taste it. He was teaching me all kinds of things. He started shaving my coochie, which I swore was the weirdest thing ever. He said that he preferred it bald, and of course, I went along with it.
Having so much sex with Jahrein made me feel different. I saw things differently. I talked differently. Hell, I walked differently. I had been staying with my daddy for two and a half months, and it seemed that my body have sprouted overnight. I guess that's why the red bathing suit that I was rocking was killing everybody.
It was the end of the summer and Jahrein was having a pool party for his eighteenth birthday. My daddy’s friend let Jah have it at his house. It was a huge brick home with a humongous pool out back. They were trying to tell us that the man had a record company or some shit like that, but that all looked like dope money to me.
Red had braided my hair in two big and neat French braids. I was looking like a real Cherokee Indian.
The music was bumping and there were people of all ages getting their party on. Many of Red’s home girls were there, and kept telling Ray-Ray to keep an eye on me. I knew what was being said, because I overheard them talking.
