Ariven Nicholas Karter"Ari"
"I like this," She smiled putting her hands on the sides of my face. "Really," I asked. I widen my eyes, usually she hated when I grew facial hair. "Yes," She smiled widely. I couldn't help but smile, seeing her smile. "What are we doing here," She asked with a raised eyebrow.
I had asked my homeboy, Corky to lend us the keys to his apartment.With my grandma on life support, I didnt have much family so Corky was like a brother to me. "I-I know its not much but," I started but was cut off by her warm lips on mine. "Its perfect," She smiled plopping down on the air mattress, that was on the roach infested carpet. "I just- I just wanted to give us some time alone without your parents tripping or," I tried to explain. "Babe," She cut me off once more. "I told you this is perfect," She smiled. I wasn't stupid, I knew a roach infested room smelling of weed and lime-a-ritas probbaly wasn't her idea of romantic.
"Come here," She said patting the empty space beside her. "Why you aint been at school," She asked as I sat down. "I miss seeing you." "How school gone help me," I furrowed my brows. "Don't think like that, Ari," She exclaimed softly punching me in the shoulder. "W-w-what," I asked. It was true, Tyra had this naive a*s idea we were going to college together. I'd be surprised if I graduated high school.
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "S-see now you mad at me," I sighed. "No, Ari I just want better for you." "I don't want to lay up worrying about you for the rest of our lives, where you at? Where you gone sleep? If you're okay? Or if you're dead in the streets or lying in a ditch dead?" She asked as if she was counting on her fingers. Tears were welling in her eyes. "I never asked you to care so much," I sighed growing frustrated. Tears cascaded down her cheek. "I love you but if you wanna be stupid, be stupid on your own," She spat heading for the door. I grabbed her by her waist, pulling her back. "
Mamas calm down," I sighed. "I'm sorry, ok," I said softly wrapping my arms around her and settling into the crook of her neck. "I'll do better," I said.
Noticing she was calm, I lead her back to the mattress. As she laid down I placed a soft kiss upon her lips. I flicked my tongue over hers deepening the kiss. I couldn't help but notice her hands gliding up my shirt. I slipped off my shirt. I began trailing my kisses down her neck, sucking on the nape of her neck. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to," I said immediately knowing where this was going.
"I want to," She whimpered, as I slid off her shirt. With one swift motion I unfasten her bra. In insecurity, she quickly crossed her arms over her chest. I ran my hands over her arms over her arms, pulling them down, along with her pants. "You never have to hide from me", I said flicking my tongue over each nipple. She let out a soft moan as I massaged her clit through her panties. I pulled down my basketball shorts exposing my rock hard. Then I slowly pulled down her panties separating her legs. I climbed over her, settling my hips between her thighs. "You-You sure", I ask once more as I position my tip at her entrance. She released a shaky breath but still noded yes. I slowly inserted into her, trying not to hurt her. She gasped.
"Ari," She cried out digging her nails into my back. "Want-want me to stop," I asked. She shook her head no. I slowly inserted the rest of my inches. "F*ck", I grunted at the feeling of her warm walls wrapping around me as I slid into her slowly. I had to pause just to make sure I didn't nut. "We can stop whenever you want, just let me know", I whispered kissing her lips lovingly. She let out a loud moan, wrapping her legs around my waist pulling me deeper inside her. I began stroking into her faster and faster.
"Oh my god", She screamed. My hand reached down and felt around for her clit. "Right there", She moaned as I moved my thumb around in circular motion on her clit. I sped up my thrusts as I felt both of us near. "F*ck", I grunted releasing into her. My chest heaved up and down as she cuddled close to me. She wrapped her leg around me, and put her head on my chest. "I got something for you," I spoke up. She raised her eyebrow. "What," She questioned. "Its in my jacket pocket," I admitted. She jumped up, walking like a newborn baby deer. By the time she reached my jacket, she went in the right pocket and retrieved a black box. "Ari," She gasped opening the box.
"A promise ring," I smirked at her. She couldn't contain her excitement, she smiled from ear to ear, and slid the ring on her finger. "Babe," She smiled looking at her hand. "I can't believe you did," She started but was interrupted by the door flinging open.
Corky frantically rushed in, and Tyra jumped on the mattress struggling to cover herself with the sheet. He was holding his side, pressing his blood stained t-shirt against his body. "N*gga, I got shot," He exclaimed. "Call 9-1-1," He called out.
