XAVIER BAINBRIDGE-A Star in the Making

Every New Year he refocused on his career and where he wanted to be. He was multi-talented and soon he would be known around the world. That was his goal anyway. In the past, he was focused on his acting, but that had not gotten him far. Besides school plays and a few local commercials, he was still a nobody. This year he wanted to focus on his singing

Good thing his mother, who was also his manager, had a few performances lined up for him other than Snappies. She had a showcase for him at Midtown University where she worked and also performing at an MLK celebration at school and at Snappies, which was his peers and they loved him. Still, he wanted more than to be locally famous.

He performed New Year's Eve at Snappies, singing a few R&B artists' songs, none of his own yet. He had written some songs and tested them out, and decided he was not a songwriter.

As always, they loved him at Snappies. He sang Chris Brown's song, "Tempo", and an old Usher song "My Way." The crowd loved that because he put his spin on each song.

Afterward, the girls swarmed him. He knew he was a good-looking guy. Five feet ten, nice athletic build, though he played no sports, pecan-brown complexion, thick, bushy afro, with light hazel eyes the girls loved, and a smooth baby face except for the shadow of a mustache he was trying to grow. His groupies wanted a hug or a kiss or an autograph. He signed autographs and gave out hugs but no kissing. That was only for his girl.

But it sure was hard to stay focused on her when cuties were throwing themselves at him. Asia still would not let up.

"Saved your spot all for you." Asia smiled at him, thrusting her nice, round breasts against his arm. "A sundae is on its way."

He licked his lips looking at her luscious melons, but then looked away, sitting at the booth he preferred over any other spot at the place.

"Haven't seen your girlfriend around in a minute." Asia reached over and touched his fro. He jerked away from her because she was trying to get him into trouble again.

"She's on vacation." He could not wait to see her in a few days.

"Shame to leave you all alone." Asia flung back her long, dark black hair. It was all hers too. The girl was fine. "We could finish things off that we started at your party."

"I don't appreciate you getting me in trouble like that. I told you to cool it. I'm not interested in you like that." It was a lie, but he had to get Asia to back off. She was a temptation to him, and he was trying to do right.

"No guy is not interested in me." She winked at him, then walked off.

He stretched his neck to watch her ample backside walk away. She was indeed fine! Only a junior but she probably had the best body in the school. Slim waist, nice-sized breasts, curvy hips, and an ass like a rap star. It was all real too. He could not stop himself from looking at it as she walked away.

He licked his lips again and let out a sigh.

"Look, but don't touch," he told himself.

Especially since he told Chrissy a lie. Asia was not the one that initiated the kiss, he was.

ASIA TROTTER-Bad girl, Bad bitch

She was going to catch X, and that was all to it. Then maybe she would not have to work at Snappies just to have enough money to blend in with the richie rich kids at Dunlap Academy. Her father died when she was fourteen, so she only had her mother and two younger sisters. Her mother slaved to provide for her three girls and send them to a prestigious private school. At seventeen, she was the oldest. She had a younger sister who was a freshman and another that was in eighth grade.
