Sisters Keeper

Trying her best to hide her dimples, Ryan walked up the stoop where he stood. Since she was a young girl, he had the power to make her heart skip a beat. At this moment, not even being able to fully make out his face in the darkness swayed her sexual attraction to him. What started as a childhood crush amplified after one night into a raw attraction. Simba was the color of raw coffee with strong African features. He carried himself with a silent strength that vibrated through Ryan.

"You finally got here. Took you long enough ." He finally spoke from his post against the railing on his porch.

Looking him up and down her heart rate escalated at the sight of the S chain around his neck. Reflecting on the fantasy she'd had earlier tonight her body stirred at the thought. Shaking herself Ryan remembered that she wasn't happy with him.

" Took me long enough?" Who are you to summon me like you're some type of king?"

"I could be your king if you would let me." He retorted quickly

From the first day she walked into his classroom at thirteen years old Simba wanted Ryan. He knew she was the one he wanted to share his life with. Even when he didn't know what that meant. She had this innocence that lured him in and made him want to wrap himself in her presence.

"Boy, stop. I have a whole family." She blushed standing down on the bottom step Ryan needed the space between them to make her words confident.

"What you got with dude ain't shit. If it was you wouldn't let me hit when I was home for Christmas break."

"Key word break. Then I never heard from you again. This is just a break for you but for me, this is my life."

In his sophomore year of college Simba was on the fast track to success double majoring in technology and business he had a plan mentally for his life. Ryan wasn't just a part of that plan but was a key player. He needed her innocent nurturing nature by his side.

"It could have been your life had you not chosen him over me."

"You reconnect with me for the first time in four years, we have sex and then you go missing yet this is what you choose to discuss. Get the fuck out of my face Simba take me back home." Ryan exclaimed turning to walk away from him.

A young excited teen Ryan had entertained both Boo and Simba at the same time. Simbas was the cutest guy in school. While Boo was older and exciting. Boo had money to buy her nice gifts and a car to ride her around in. Upon becoming pregnant with her daughter she left her teenage love affair as a distant memory. That was until she bumped into him on a rare weekend out. After years with Boo Ryan understood how you could be in a relationship and still be lonely. Although she remained devoted to him for her family she had a burning in her heart to be cherished.

"You that eager to go running back to a nigga that don't appreciate you," Simba questioned stepping down from his post and slightly pulling on Ryan's wrist. At his touch, her breath hitched into her throat.

"No my sister just got out and I promised her I wouldn't be out late." Ryan pouted telling a half-truth.

"How is she doing? She good?" He questioned her to distract her from leaving. Simba had let his hate for the other man in her life get in the way of the fact he wanted to spend time with her. Placing his arm around her waist he looked into Ryan's face counting her freckles.

"She's good, different but good," Ryan mumbled looking down at her hands as she enjoyed being pressed against his frame.

" you gone leave me tonight before we hang out?"He mumbled to her quietly, feeling her resistance falling down.
