A relationship must be built on trust and love. Not sex and manipulation.
Collette sat in her chemistry class, chewing on the end of her pen. Something that was a habit. Her friend Clara sat next to her rambling on about her new crush as the girl tried to solve the question on the board.
"So can anybody balance this ionic equation?" Her teacher spoke as she raised her hand to answer
"Ms Lincoln"
"By adding a 2 in-front of sulfur and a 4 in-front of Oxygen" she said her teacher nodding.
.
"Collette don't freak out but Jay was totally checking you out in chem" Clara's thick valley girl accent rolled
"Who?" Confusion laced her face
"Jay-Jayvon Wilson plays basketball super hot" she said
"Don't know who that is" Collette shrugged making Clara turn her head
"Him"
She looked up at the brown skin male who flashed his white teeth and shiny nose piercing. She noticed the way his locs rested on his forehead, his Jersey covered in sweat, Clara was right he was super hot.
.
"Hey ma I'm Jayvon but I prefer Jay" he smiled sliding a piece of paper towards her
"Call me" he whispered making her smile to herself

The smell of cheese filled the beautifully lit Italian restaurant that had plants everywhere.
Antonio walked over to a table pulling out a chair for her before sitting in his own.
"How was work amour?" He looked into her eyes as she smiled
"Stressful especially since the summer show is literally in 2 weeks I'm just worried things won't turn out good, what if the clothes don't look good and the pictures-" The tall male rubbed his thumb along her hand
"The perfectionist you are I'm positive it will turn out amazing" he kissed her hand as a waiter came over placing a basket of bread and a bottle of white wine.
"Are you ready to order your appetizers?" The waiter asked with a thick New Jersey accent
"Yeah I'll have the basil toast with Parma ham" she smiled and for you sir
"Mozzarella balls are fine" he handed him both their appetizer menus
.
"Mr Dias"
"Yes amour" he smiled
"What other hobbies do you have apart from fixing sinks" she placed her chin in her hand her doe eyes making his mouth dry before he spoke "pottery"
"No fucking way!" Collette laughed trying to imagine stubborn, impatient Antonio sitting still with clay and wet hands.
"Yea I used to go for classes a lot when I was in College" he smiled at the memory taking a sip of his wine.
"How bout now why don't you do it?" She asked raising a brow
Cause I'm trying to prevent a harmful drug from spreading "I'm always deep in blue prints for clients so I rarely get the chance to" he said
"You should teach me sometime when you're not busy" she looked into his eyes with a smile as the waiter came over placing their appetizers on the table.
"Before I leave May I know what mains you'll be having?"
"I'll haveeee a Gnocchi di patate" she dragged out giving him the menu
"The same" Antonio shrugged turning back to Collette
.
"It's not funny it scared the shit outta me" Collette playfully rolled her eyes at Antonio's wide eyes
"Who the fuck is scared of Barney and to this day!" his laugh bellowed through the restaurant but no one cared or noticed
"Stop fucking screaming" she whisper shouted "besides that big purple bitch always with kids pedo ass" she folded her arms
"Maybe cause adults would have made them look schizophrenic and loco" he chuckled at her blank stare
"Talking bout some I love you, you love me bullshit" she muttered making Antonio laugh again.
"You remind me of baby bop" he bit into his Gnocchi moaning again like he did the last 14 pieces of the potato.
"I don't carry around a stanky ass blanket" she retorted
"You talk the same you get excited the same" he leaned forward in his chair looking at the white sauce in the corner of her lips taking the pad of his thumb wiping it of and licking it of whilst making eye contact with the brown skinned female.
If she was not black her face would be red as hell.
Their waiter came back interrupting their intense staring contest with the bill in his hand.
"Would you like dessert or pay now?" He asked
"The bill I'll have dessert later" he looked directly into her eyes
"Alright that's $850 together with the $600 bottle of wine so yea total is $1450" he did the math before talking again "cash or card"
"Card"
.
.
.
Collette was internally panicking, what if Antonio was actually going to finish her off at home he had become more seductive as dinner was wrapping up.
Her relationship with sex was never good because she never had a good experience for fuck sake it was always forced it just felt like she was limp and numb just laying there feeling his dick slide in and out watching blood leak down her legs to which she always got shouted at for and hit.
.
Her hand was interlocked with Antonio's as they walked around the silent park digesting their food.
"The reason why I didn't want dessert there is because this place has the best ice-cream" he said with a kid-like smile making Collette giggle.
"I know it took me long to ask but when I'm around you I'm so happy you hang idea and they are times work is so fucking shitty and all I can think about you when you're not around it's like the world is dark as fuck but you lighten it in the best way possible, besides friends don't make out with each other and call each other pet names what I'm asking amor is will you be my girlfriend?" He looked over at her
"I was waiting for your slow ass to ask me" she kissed him tasting his ice-cream galore combination.
"Now you're mine" he kissed her nose with a smile
"I'm yours"
.
The pair sat on a bench Collette had a butterscotch cone in her hand whereas her man baby had 3 scoops of caramel, choc chip and dark chocolate smiling to himself like a 5 year old.
There was comfortable silence but Antonio could see Collette was deep in thought.
.
.
They finally reached home sitting in the driveway Antonio looked over at Collette who again looked deep in thought, brows knitted and lips in a pout.
"Amor, what's wrong?" he placed his hand on her bare thigh she looked away but he gently placed his hand on her chin making her look at him, her eyes watery and her cheeks puffy.
"¿Qué está mal?" His face laced with concern at her light sobbing
(What's wrong?)
"I-I'm sorry" she shoved her face in her hands
"You don't have to be sorry amour tell me what's wrong" he rubbed her back
"I'm too scared t-to have" she stopped herself as she regained her breath
"I'm too scared to have...sex with you" she whispered the last part looking away
Antonio was taken aback, she shouldn't apologize for that he never wanted to make her feel like she should be pressured to have sex with him, especially with her history with it, sex was out the window he just enjoyed having her around.
"Baby you don't have to apologize I'm sorry if I made you feel pressured" he kissed her forehead hearing her sobs quiet down
"But you have needs-"
"Needs that I will wait YEARS to satisfy until you're ready baby" he kissed her temples again
"I have too"
"No you don't I'll be fine until you're ready"
"But if I don't do this then I'll be stuck in this constant cycle of remembering how he traumatized me" she sighed
"Collette if you think you're ready I'm here but I don't want you to feel pressured to satisfy me" he had a somber look on his face
"I want you Tony I do" she kissed his cheek
"Are you sure?" He placed his hand on her cheek
"Positive"
