I texted him my address and hurriedly dialed Shaniqua’s number.
CHAPTER FIVE-SHANIQUA
I was playing a game with my little brother and sister when my phone rang. I checked the caller ID and it was Caramel so I picked it up.
“Hey Chick, wassup?” I answered.
“Guess what,” she said.
“I don’t know,” I said.
“Shine called me,” she said excitedly.
“Oh yea? What did he say?” I asked.
“He and I are going out tonight!” she said.
“Where y’all headed?” I asked.
“Not sure yet, I told him to surprise me,” she said.
“Okay, but don’t go giving up your goodies on the first night Heifer!” I said with a laugh.
“Whatever Bitch, you know I’ve been experiencing a drought. If he want it he can sho get it,” she said and started laughing.
“Really? Don’t forget the last time you decided to do that shit,” I told her.
“What you mean by that? The last time I did that it led to a two and a half year relationship with Scooby,” she said.
“I know but you just got out of a relationship so do you really wanna jump in another one?” I asked.
“Hey, who said anything about a relationship? I said I’d let him scratch my itch if he wanted to, ain’t nobody say nothing bout no darn relationship!” she said.
“So you gon just let him hit?” I asked.
“I think we’re overthinking this. This is only gonna be our first date and he hasn’t even come to pick me up yet,” she said.
“Well, just keep your cookies in your jar,” I advised.
“Yes Mom,” she answered sarcastically.
“Have fun Girl,” I said as we hung up.
I wanted to talk to Antoine but I didn’t want to be the one to call. It’s not like I could go anywhere tonight anyway because I had to babysit so my mom could go to Ms. Tracy’s card game. I didn’t mind babysitting for my mom because she worked hard to take care of us so anytime she needed a break, I would watch my younger brother and sister.
I was glad that summer was approaching soon because I was ready for a break. I decided to go take a quick shower and then read a book on my Kindle Fire. I had purchased quite a few books the other day but hadn’t gotten around to reading any of them but I was gonna change that tonight. I hopped in the shower and just relaxed under the showerhead because the water felt so good. Then I dried myself off and changed into my evening clothes.
I sat down on the sofa, put my feet under me and started to read a book by one of my favorite authors, Carl Weber. The book was called Big Girls Don’t Cry and I couldn’t wait to read it because I heard so many good things about this book. My sister and brother were in their room still playing the game; Chase was nine and Avery was six and they got along great. Chase was the big brother and was so protective over his little sister.
I had just turned to page one of my book when my phone began to ring. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Antoine. The minute I saw his number my heart began to race and my palms started sweating.
“Hello,” I answered.
“Hey Baby Girl, wassup,” Ant said.
“Chillin’, I was just about to read a book. What you up to?” I asked.
“Nothing much, I was about to head out with my dudes and thought about you so I thought I’d holla atchu and see what you were up to,” he said.
“Oh so y’all bout to hit the club?” I asked.
“Nah, we finna go on Bourbon Street,” he said.
“Oh okay, well it’s nice that you thought about me. I hope you and your friends have fun,” I said.
“Yea of course I was thinkin’ bout yo fine ass. I had a great time today,” he said and I could tell he was smiling.
“I had a nice time also, thanks again for the handbags. I really love them!” I gushed.
“No problem Baby Girl, this is only the beginning, ya heard me,” he said.
“How you know that?” I asked.
“Because I do and you know what else I know?” he asked.
“What?” I asked.
“I know that you’re gonna let me take you out tomorrow,” he said.
“Are you asking me out?” I asked.
“Yea but since I know you gon say yea just hit me up with your address and I’ll see you around three,” he said.
I loved that he had that confident attitude about him; his swag was on point. I admired a man who knew what he wanted and wasn’t afraid to get it. As I sat there smiling and thinking about spending time with him tomorrow I almost forgot we were on the phone until I heard him addressing me.
“Baby Girl, you still there?” he asked.
“Yea I’m sorry, okay I will send it to you and I’ll see you tomorrow. Have fun tonight,” I said.
“Okay I will and I can’t wait to see you tomorrow,” he said.
“Good night,” we said at the same time and hung up.
I could not stop smiling when I hung up the phone. I went to check on my siblings and found them asleep in Chase’s bed. I threw the cover on them, kissed both of their foreheads and turned the television off. I went back to the living room and tried to read my book but I couldn’t concentrate. I couldn’t get the fact that I was gonna see Antoine tomorrow off my mind.
I went to my room and began looking through my closet for something to wear. I settled on a pink and white sundress and some white open toe sandals. I found some jewelry that accented my ensemble just right. I hoped that Antoine liked the outfit when he saw it tomorrow.
I tried to pick up where I left off on my reading again but couldn’t do it so I decided to try and get some rest. As I lay in bed I wondered what Caramel and Shine were doing on their date. If I knew Caramel they were having sex right now.
CHAPTER SIX-CARAMEL
Christian came to pick me up around eight and I met him on the front step so he could meet my mom. When we walked in she was coming from the back bedroom because she was going to her card game tonight.
“Hey Mom, this is Christian! Christian this is my mom, Tracy?” I said nervously.
“Hell Ma’am it’s nice to meet you!” Christian said as he stuck out his hand to shake my mom’s. She shook hands with him and I could tell she was impressed at his politeness.
“Nice to meet you too Christian! Where are you from, I mean what part of New Orleans?” she asked.
“I live near the west banks Ma’am!” he answered.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“19 Ma’am,” he answered.
“Are you aware that my daughter is only 16?” she asked.
“Yes Ma’am,” he answered.
“Well she tells me you want to take her to the movies. What movie are you guys going to see?” she asked.
“I thought I’d take her eat first and then we would go see that new movie No Good Deeds!” he answered.
“Is that the new movie with Idris Elba and Taraji Henson?” she asked.
“Yes Ma’am,” Christian said.
“Okay well you seem like a nice young man. Take care of my baby and y’all don’t do nothing I wouldn’t do because I’ll be coming for that ass!” my mom said.
“Yes Ma’am,” Christian responded.
My mom finally let us out the door and we decided to go eat to Joe’s Crab Shack. While we ate we laughed, talked and got better acquainted. I found out that Christian worked offshore as a supervisor and had his own place. For someone so young, he definitely had it going on. I really was taken with him even though we had only spent a couple of hours together.
I was glad that Christian wanted to see No Good Deed because I am a huge fan of Taraji P. Henson and Idris Elba with his fine self. While in the theatre he reached for my hand and we held hands throughout the entire movie. I don’t know about him but his touch had my pussy jumping in my panties.
Once the movie was over we were walking hand and hand to his 2013 Chevy Avalanche. He lo
oked over at me and smiled, “So you ready to go home or you wanna come chill with me for a bit?”
I knew it would be crazy for me to go to his place especially feeling the way I was feeling. “Well we can go over to your place. I’d like to see where you live.”
He smiled and made his way to his place which wasn’t too far from where the movie theatre was. He unlocked the door and let me inside then closed the door. He turned the lights on and I had a look around; he actually had a nice place. I expected his place to look like a bachelor pad but I was surprised to find it looking more homey; like it had a woman’s touch.
“You have a really nice place. I expected a black leather sofa, huge flat screen TV and clothes all over the place. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised,” I said.
“Well my mom and sister helped me decorate, otherwise it would’ve looked exactly like you thought,” he said and we both laughed.
“Well they did a great job; I love it!” I said.
“Would you like something to drink?” Christian offered.
“What ya got?” I asked.
“Patron, Ciroc, Smirnoff, orange juice, bottled water, what’s your choice?” he asked.
“Well I’m not allowed to drink alcohol so,” I was saying but he interrupted.
“I promise I won’t tell anyone,” he said.
“What kind of Ciroc do you have?” I asked.
“Peach,” he responded.
“Okay I’ll try a little; I’ve heard good things about that drink,” I said.
“Yea it’s a good drink and goes down so smoothly,” he said as he walked into the kitchen.
“Sit down and make yourself at home,” he yelled from the kitchen.
I sat on the sofa and admired the nice décor in his apartment. He returned with two glasses with clear liquids in each and handed me one. I thanked him as I put my nose to the rim to smell it; it had a nice scent so I brought the glass to my lips and sipped the liquid. It tasted really good and before I knew it I was requesting a second glass. He went to refill my glass and came back to the living room handing me the glass with more clear liquid.
“Take it easy because while it goes down smooth, the effects hit hard,” he warned.
I couldn’t help it, I needed something to calm my nerves. All I wanted to do was jump on him so I needed this drink to help my body relax.
“This shit is good!” I said as my head began to spin a little.
He moved in closer to me and kissed me softly on the lips. It didn’t take long for that kiss to get extremely heated as our tongues battled each other. He began to kiss me on my and squeeze my breasts as I moaned and tried to catch my breath. My head was spinning from the way he was making me feel; it had been a long two months.
The next thing I knew I was riding his dick on the sofa while he sucked on my breasts like they were popsicles. He filled me up so good and hit my G-spot like a champion causing me to scream out his name several times. This man worked his magic on me as he grabbed my hips and pumped deeper inside me. In the two hours that we had sex, he flipped me several different ways I had never tried before; matter fact I had no idea just how flexible I was. I guess with the right man he could bring out the beast in a woman.
By the time our little sex session was over it was one o’clock in the morning. I hoped that my mom wasn’t home because I know she would shit a brick if she knew I stayed out so late. My curfew on weekends was midnight even though I begged her to stretch it for me til at least two a.m. she was not having it.
Once we were done all I wanted to do was sleep because this dude had worn me out. I began to get dressed but my head was still woozy so Christian had to help me; I was so embarrassed. As he walked me to his truck he had to hold me by my waist because I couldn’t walk straight. I didn’t know how I was gonna get by my mom like this so I prayed she wasn’t home.
He pulled up to my apartments and I was fumbling with the door handle when he came around to open the door for me. I leaned on his shoulder as he walked me to the front door. When we reached the front door he leaned in for a kiss and as he wrapped his arms around me I relaxed in his arms, opening my mouth to receive his tongue. When we were done I unlocked the door and let myself in.
As I made my way to my bedroom I breathed a sigh of relief for my mom not being here. I was way too tired to shower so I just collapsed in bed and went straight to sleep.
CHAPTER SEVEN-SHANIQUA
I was really looking forward to seeing Antoine today. I even felt like making breakfast for my family this morning so I woke up early, brushed my teeth and began cooking breakfast. I made homemade pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and biscuits. Before I had the chance to call them to breakfast, my mom and siblings groggily came into the kitchen. My mom gave me a kiss on the cheek and thanked me for cooking. Today was her first day off in seven days and she looked exhausted.
“You’re welcome Mom, I was happy to do it,” I said.
“I sure appreciate this. You are such a wonderful daughter,” my mom said.
“Thanks Mom, y’all have a seat and I will bring the food in,” I said.
“Oh well let me help you Baby,” my mom said.
My mom and I carried the food to the table and we said a prayer blessing our food the way we always did. My mom even said a special thank you to me for cooking breakfast. We began to serve ourselves and then made conversation while we ate.
Once we finished eating I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen as my siblings ran off to go play their game.
“What are your plans for today Baby?” my mom asked.
“I have a date later this afternoon,” I said with a huge smile on my face.
“You must like this boy huh?” she asked.
“Yea so far, we only met yesterday when Caramel and I were on the Riverwalk,” I said.
“Oh and you’re already going out on a date with him? Be careful Baby, you don’t know this boy very well,” she warned.
“Yea but what I do know I like Mom. Let me show you what he bought me yesterday!” I ran to my room to retrieve the handbags that Antoine purchased for me from the Coach store.
“Look!” I said showing them to my mom.
As she inspected the bags she asked, “These bags are expensive! Why would he buy you such expensive bags?”
“He saw me admiring them and bought them for me! He’s so sweet Mom!” I gushed.
“How can he afford these expensive bags anyway? He some kinda drug dealer?” my mom asked.
“No he’s not a drug dealer!” I said, but the truth was I didn’t know what Ant did. I vowed to ask him when I saw him so I could put my mom’s concerns to rest.
“Then what does he do?” she asked.
“I’m not sure Mom but I will be sure to ask him soon,” I said.
“You would wanna do that otherwise you can’t go out with him,” she said.
“Mom! What do you mean I can’t go?” I asked poking my lip out like a little kid.
“I mean you can’t go! I am not going to let my teenage daughter go out with some guy when you don’t even know what he does for a living! He could be a drug dealer or something so until I find out what he does for a living you can’t go and that’s final!” she said.
I stomped off to my room and slammed my door. My mom made me so mad sometimes because she was so overprotective and over bearing. I picked up my phone to call Antoine and thought that maybe he could come over a little early so he could meet her. I knew after she met him that she would allow me to go out with him because Antoine was so smooth and charming.
“Hey Baby Girl, are you ready for our date?” he said with a smile.
“Well yes and no. My mom says I can’t go out with you because you could be a drug dealer and she wants to make sure you aren’t one. Can you please come over a little early to meet her, pleeeaassseeee?” I begged.
I could hear Antoine take a deep breath in and thought he was going to cancel our date but instead he said, “Okay sure, I’ll see you
at two thirty.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I said.
“You’re welcome,” he said.
We ended the call and I felt a whole lot better because I knew she would let me go out with him after she met him. I busied myself throughout the day until it was almost time for Antoine to come over. I took a quick shower, applied my lotion and perfume then began getting dressed. I was slipping my feet into my sandals when there was a knock on the door. I quickly ran to the door because I didn’t want my mom answering it.
I opened the door to find Antoine standing there looking wonderful! He didn’t have his grill in and he wore jeans and a polo shirt with some Air Jordan sneakers. I smiled at the way he smiled when he saw what I had on.
“Hey,” I said giving him a hug. Oh my Gosh this man smelled so damn good!
“Hey yourself,” he said.
I invited him in just as my mom made her way from her room.
“Mom this is Antoine, Antoine this is my mom Shelly,” I said as I introduced the two of them.
Antoine reached his hand out to my mom to shake hers and when she put her hand in his he said, “It’s nice to meet you Ma’am.”
“Nice to meet you too,” my mom said looking Antoine up and down.
“Shaniqua told me you had some concerns about our dating. I’m here to put your concerns to rest, well I hope to do so anyway,” Antoine said.
“I just wanted to make sure you weren’t a drug dealer, I mean the last thing I need is for my daughter to get caught up in some drug dealings with a drug dealer,” she said.
“Yes Ma’am I totally understand, but you have nothing to worry about with me because I work for Ensco, the offshore company,” he explained.
“Oh wow! That’s a good job!” she said.
“Yes Ma’am they pay well and I’ve been working there for the past three years,” he said.
“Three years? Exactly how old are you Antoine?” my mom asked.
“Um 20,” he said.
“You’re 20 years old? What do you want with my daughter when she’s only 15? Can’t you find a woman your own age?” mom asked.
“Oh I know how old she is but I just made 20 and she told me she’s almost 16. In answer to dating women my age I just think that Shaniqua is a beautiful girl and I just want the chance to take her out and have a good time with her,” he said.
