Adventures of James and the God of Love, Cupid

4. Charlene

I pulled up in my car to to Charlene's apartment. On Tinder we small talked for awhile and then she was the one who invited me to come over to her place. She said she loves to chill, smoke and bake. Tonight she decided to bake brownies and said we could hit her bong. I occasionally smoked in my free time but she said she smokes daily so I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with her.
I was in comfortable clothes understanding that casualness of the meeting. When I got to her door and knocked she took a couple second to open the door. She stood in the door way and I quickly analyzed her fit from toe to head. She wore fuzzy socks, boys boxer briefs, and a tank top that barely reached her belly button ring. She also wore glasses that I hadn't seen before in her pictures. To be straightforward, I felt blood rush throughout my body and my shorts became tighter for obvious reasons.
Charlene was already high when meeting her, yet she still insisted on taking a few rips of her bong. We took turns and she asked me how much did I usually smoke. I told he every so often, mainly weekends if I was bored with my roommates. I understood I only could take a few hits so I didn't just wanna pass out. I was surprised her brownies came out as good as they did considering the last time I cooked when I was high, I swore I burnt metal inside my chicken. Yeah I know, don't ask.
Once the brownies cooled off we sat and ate a few and by golly they were good. I had to keep myself from overeating due to having symptoms of the munchies.
We ended up moving to her room and trying to find a movie. There was one I thought I had a really interesting title. October's Orange Moon. The trailer showed a discrete, lonely young man who stalked this woman he met in a bookstore. The fuck is up with the creeps in a bookstore, the ultimate place of peace and comfort but also a place of wonder and human's mirror. The main character looked weird enough to hold our interest so we clicked play.
We cuddled together and it was probably 15 minutes into the movie when we started kissing. I felt hyper focused and wanted to make all the right moves. She started feeling on my pants and I was definitely poking out my pants. I decided to follow her lead and with my hand already feeling her ass, I moved between her legs. My fingers moved around her shorts while she breathed heavily while we made out. After a little bit I noticed I got to the best spot and she began to fidget and moan louder. After minutes of doing this she reached the ultimate climax. Her face lit up with emotion, pleasure, and satisfaction. Now, she decided she wanted to go down on me and she kissed her way down to my crotch. She took a deep breath and I could feel the tongue reach to licking the massaging the base. It was only a couple minutes before I told her to stop so we didn't miss our opportunity at having more fun tonight.
We both ended up taking off more clothing and I pulled out a condom and strapped it on. I tried to be awkward in this situation knowing that I would be looking at her face. She gracefully laid on her back waiting for approach and then opened her legs into which I got in between. I felt so warm. I felt like an energy was flowing through me as I looked into her eyes. She was so pretty, her eyes glowed and we both locked together. It felt amazing. Ive had high sex before but not like this. I just felt connection.
The finish felt other worldly. I felt like I was in a trance. I felt myself twitch. She was looking at me and giggled. I guess my O face looked ridiculous and I felt slightly embarrassed but I didn't allow myself to overthink.
We both had gotten dressed and she cleared the silence. "Hey I think im gonna go to sleep. They tow here though."
Obviously she was implying she wanted me to leave which was fine since this was the first time we met I dont wanna move too fast.
"Ok yeah I dont wanna pay that 100 to get my car back." I acted like I cared less than I did. I was ready to leave and then a hard knock on the door grabbed my attention. I looked at Charlene and she seemed to start sweating instantly. "Uh hold on!"
She must have known who was knocking, almost as if she expected someone.
"Wait who is tha-" I couldnt finish my words before she was pushing me and all my belongings into the closet. "Sorry I have to explain this later! Ill get him to leave in a second. Sorry!"
It felt extremely tight in the closet as she closed the door in my face. I could barely hear the greeting at the door but the person entering was definitely male. His voice was slurred, inferring he definitely had a good amount of drinks. Charlene tried terribly to keep him in the hallway but he insisted on hanging out in the bedroom while I heard him approach the doorway. I felt a sharp sense of danger enter my consious as they both got into the room.
"Hey look Charlene, im-im sorry about the thing- what I did". He couldn't formulate real ideas at the moment.
"Well Johnny you cheated on me I'm not sure how you would expect me to forgive you right now"
"I-I understand. Its just... I still love you, you know? Like it was a big mistake and I wanna move past it"
"Well I don't think I wanna move past it Johnny," I could sense the tension rise in the air as this seemed to have been a reoccurring fight in the recent past, "We were together for two years and you thought it was okay to fuck my best friend! Like you're a fucking dick! I shoulda seen it happening. The way yall would look at eachother. Ugh im so stupid"
"But Charlene I-"
"No Johnny! Get the fuck out! I dont want you here!"
"Ok listen-listen. Lemme just say o-one more thing and then if you don't like it and then I'll leave. Okay?" Johnny seemed to have sobered up a little from this argument.
She paused but seemed to have calm down, "Okay Johnny what?"
"I know I'm the biggest dick in the world and Idont deserve you at all. But the thing is you bring out the best of me, you are my better half. Im time im with you I wanna strive to be my better self. Over these past 24 months you helped me change from a boy into a man. And I understand I fucked up but without you, I cant function, okay? You're my first and only love and I dont wanna let you go and I don't think you should give up on us just yet. Not after everything we've been through."
Another pause sat in the air. I heard a quiet cry come from Charlene. And then other sounds began while I was in the closest. Kisses. Oh WHAT THE FUCK! After a couple minutes I felt more things start to happen and I knew I couldn't handle it anymore. I made sure I had all my things and then....I ran out the closet, out the room, and ran as fast as I could to my car. All I could hear behind me was a "Who the fuck is that!", from Johnny. I thought he would chase but I got into my car and pulled off before I could see him run after me.

Driving home felt rough to be honest. I kinda felt bad like not good at all about how I left. I felt used for my sexual talent and Im wondering if she thought it was just a hookup.I mean obviously I was just a tool used to get over her cheating ex. Apparently it wasn't her ex anymore though. Why was I already head over heels for this girl? I never felt this sort of desperation before. I yearned for reassurance. I knew just the person to air my emotions to.

This time I saw Cupid in my chair, playing Call of Duty chatting with players online like he was just regular kid bored on a week night. He had doritos on the counter and he laughed loud and obnoxiously. He barely heard me pop through the door.
"Hey kid! Longtime no see. How was your little get together with Charlene?" He seemed excited which was the opposite of how I felt.
"I feel used. I feel like a pawn in everyone's love story like im the side character used for personal development. Everything was going smooth until her ex boyfriend showed up and she fell for him again. While I was there! I honestly thought this was the furthest I've gotten with a girl and it still didn't matter. Nothing was genuine between us. And im tired...like honestly Im really tired. I dont have energy for this restart after every date." I honestly was tired and I never felt like anything I learned from the previous date helped me in the future. I felt so hopeless and helpless in my chase for love. I could see Cupid really thinking here. He was concerned about this situation I could tell.
"Well im sorry this happened to you. It was wrong and selfish of her to use you. People are inconsiderate in this world and everyone believes they're the main character. That only their feelings matter in the end so they don't consider others. I know alot of things hurt right now but you'll find your person. And to ensure you do I actually have something for you."
I really didn't care to pay attention to what he was doing but he began to rummage through my dresser. Now what the fuck would he have in there other than my stuff. After a few seconds he pulled out an arrow with a heart shape point.
"Wait I thought you didn't have your bow and arrrows???"
"Sheeesh don't let the gods hear you!" He put his finger of his lips.
"Gods?? Wait wha-"
"Listen I dont have my bow and arrow!" He began to whisper. I stole this for the most dire situation just in case things weren't going as planned." I decided to actually shutup and listen now. "Okay so this arrow will make anyone fall in love with you but I dont have my bow so Im going to need to throw it."
"Throw it? How are you gonna hit someone with that?"
"Trust me. I got a good arm. Its not as good as my bow but if you get the girl close enough I can hit her with the arrow and she will fall in love with the first person she see's. So make sure you're the one she's looking at!"
"This seems really uneithical. I would be MAKING her fall in love with me but it wouldn't be honest."
"Well kid how many girls have been completely honest with you?"
Tueche. This felt like a horrible and a great idea at the same time. But fuck it. I deserve love and if she's gonna be in love with me then it wouldn't be hurting anyone.
A Tinder notification hit my phone. Jessica. She was a small hispanic girl. Her bio said she was 5'0. She was a shorty but her face was beautiful. She had eyes like a golden hazel. The rest of her bio read: "I know im short🙄 don't judge. I just want a man that loves excitement and is spontaneous"
