I was at the community's hype bar on a usual Saturday evening, feeding my bloodstream with alcohol when Star boy came in. I was having my favorite; magnum and Redbull, when I felt two soft hands curling around my waist. I flinched and attempted to turn around but the person held me tightly so I couldn't move. I was furious! I didn't like the idea of some random man rubbing up on me let alone having his hands around my waist in such a compromising position.

I wasn't very friendly with the boys from my community so I was sure it couldn't be one of them. They didn't seem to have much to offer me and I have dreams of leaving here one day to venture off into the life I so greatly desired. I was a ghetto girl like any other but I have a very big dream.

"A who so brave?" I rasped and shuffled to break loose from this person.
The grip was released and I tilted my head to see who it was. It was none other than Mr. Star boy.

How yuh so nuff?" I said trying to control the trembling in my voice.

This is how I always feel whenever I see Star boy or hear his voice.

He has such an effect on me.

"How? Yuh a fimi man yuh just nuh know it yet" he uttered and gave off a boyish grin.

I laughed loudly, rolled my eyes, and rocked on my chair.

"Can I offer you a drink?" he asked.

I licked my lips and nodded my head.

The bartender began to play some x-rated music as the crowd in the bar grew thicker. Scammers from all over the community were present. They ordered top-shelf liquors and paraded with their clique. The bar had a very loud boom box, I could feel the beat in my chest. I whined on my chair and nibble on my bottom lip while I used the straw to devour the liquid from my cup. Star boy peered at me through the corner of his eyes with a seductive look on his face. I turned my head and giggled. A guy in the corner of the bar blew me a kiss, I waved at him and turned away. He wasn't my type of guy. He was short and had a big belly.

I was high as fuck.

I felt my head spinning when I try to get up from my chair to go outside to get some chicken foot soup and enjoy the fresh air.

I had way too many to drink. I was walking too high so I plop down on the closest stool I found to prevent myself from falling.

I heard someone laughing behind me. I turned and saw that Star boy had followed me outside.

"Married much" I rolled my eyes at him in disgust.

My attitude and my alcohol level were best friends, When my alcohol level rises so does my bad attitude. I’ll cuss anybody out when I am under the influence of some magnum and Redbull.

"Yah follow me fah sir?"  I snicker and suck my teeth.

"To protect you baby!" he tenderly touched my arm.

"I cannot afford for a genius like you to be taken advantage of"

"Come on let me take you home!"

I felt my body shivering. His touch sent electric shocks to my brain. I was so nervous, my drink spilled over and Star boy laughed.

Star boy wrapped his hand around my waist and guided me to his BMW X5. My body screamed to be free as I felt like I was being suffocated by his sweet masculine scent.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "why are you so kind to me?"

"Some men would take the opportunity to try to fuck me then I’ll have to pull out my knife on them.

"Star boy flung his head back and laughed loudly.

"No baby, I love you too much to even think of that."

" Love me? You can gwaan talk!"
"You wife ago beat you"

I glanced at him. My body tingled, I quickly look away and smile.

He was a fine-looking man, his smile was breathtaking too.

 "So why are you so interested in me?" I asked when we arrived at my house.

He gave off a dry laugh, "give me your number so I can tell it to you when you are sober."

I took his phone, added my number, glanced at him one last time in amazement, and exited his vehicle.

Star boy blew up my phone with messages when I got inside, some of which I was too drunk to read. I wondered where the fuck was his wife at this time of night? How can he text me this late?

Star boy: U sweet eno gyal
Star boy: Nah lie, Mi want you inna me life
Star boy: I need you girl
Star boy: Can I have you please?
Star boy: Love your strong body too
Star boy: You intelligent yuh fuck

I giggled and plopped down on my bed.

The phone beeped continuously as I drift off in sleep land.
