Never One To Ask (Book 2) (Completed)

Chapter 7: Abri's Ultimatum

JASEAN-

"So, correct me if I'm wrong here, okey?" Abrianna's eyes dance as she giggles. I nod my head slowly to show her that I'm listening. "You have a girlfriend that lives here in Virginia, but you live in Maryland and instead of being at her house, you're at mine?" She cocks her head to the side and furrows her eyebrows.

I chuckle, unsure of how to respond. I'm a little caught up, what can I say? This girl is major fun and a joy to be around. She's crazy exotic and that's a side of her I often can't comprehend but it draws me closer. Yes, I have Keri, but we haven't spoken in the last three days that I've been here. I promised my aunt Carmen I'd talk to my mom soon, but I'm just not ready to go home yet. Besides, Abri is too much of a joyride to miss out on.

That night I met her, I dropped her off at the mall only for her to call me minutes later to invite me to the movies. Turns out, Cody was already there with his main girl, Jodi- and Abri didn't feel like third wheeling. We stopped for Chinese take out after the cinema, and she told me all about her Cayman island background and how she ended up in Virginia. It's a small island, north-west of Jamaica. She told me that her mother was an inhabitant there before moving to America and meeting her Caucasian father. Instantly I was intrigued, and wanted to know more.

She made me promise to come back and see her the next day after having to break her into her bedroom window. She'd forgotten her key, and nobody was home. Despite my better judgement reminding me of my girlfriend, I kept my promise and I've been seeing her everyday since.

Abrianna's cool; like a good friend, which is why I felt compelled to tell her about Keri. I didn't want her to feel I was leading her on. So, here we are today, laying on her bed and talking as the cool breeze blows through her opened window. The sun is beginning to go down, causing the room's lighting to slowly diminish.

"Yeah, sounds about right," I reply with a half smile.

"Hmm," she hums. "You're just like Cody." She shakes her head as she laughs. I enjoy watching her little face change expressions. "But, you know what that means?" She picks up my hand, playing with the purity ring around my finger. "Girlfriend's not doing it right," she sings with a smirk.

I laugh at her statement. "You can't do it right if you're not doing it at all," I explain. I hold my hand closer to her face, gesturing to the ring. "I'm celibate. No sex."

Abrianna's eyebrows raise as though she's had an epiphany. "Really? So that would mean that you haven't gotten any in a long time," she enunciates her T's with perfection.

"Ten months to be exact." I nod my head before yawning. Abri takes the opportunity to lay across my chest, her cleavage spilling over my torso. Looking at my hand, she gently takes the ring off and begins inspecting it. She sucks in air through her teeth as she lays it on her nightstand.

"Look, how 'bout you leave her, and get with me?" My eyes widen at this question. It's more of a suggestion but I feel inclined to do what she says. "You could get anyting you ever wanted, at anytime." She smirks playfully. I laugh and shake my head.

"You're a trip, Abri," I say.

Sitting up, she straddles my body; slowly leaning into my face. I read her expression as she tucks long strands of hair behind her ear. She pecks her lips with mine, stopping to look me in the eye before doing it again. Abri molds her soft, plump lips with mine and gently parts hers, allowing her tongue to slip inside. I feel guilty that I like it because it's not Keri. Keri's the only one who's allowed to do such things to me.

"I'm serious. Life is too short to be tied down with commitments and purity rings," Abri explains. "We're young." I can't help but focus on those soft lips that were just kissing me. "And, I would never ask you of such a thing." She bats her long eyelashes as I read her face, free of makeup.

This is a side of Abri I've yet to see. Sure, we flirt here and there, but who would've ever thought that telling her about Keri would make her work harder for my attention; something she already owns too much of. I watch the lust build in her brown eyes as she pulls away and tugs on my sweatpants.

"Abri, I-" I try to stop her before this goes too far, but she cuts me off.

"Shh," she hushes me with a manicured finger to my lips. Removing a hair band from her wrist, she hastily swoops her black hair up into a high, tight ponytail. Slowly, Abri goes down, taking my pants and boxers with her. She looks up at me with mischievous eyes as she takes me into her velvet mouth.

'Oh, shit.' I shake my head of my explicit thoughts. This is such a sin. I hate that I'm deceiving my girlfriend, but lately, Keri's been blowing me; in a different way than Abri is doing so right now. I know it's wrong, and there's still no reason for me to betray her trust; but I'm stuck in the predicament of the promises I've made to Keri and Abrianna's ultimatum.

I have no other choice but to simply close my eyes and pray to God. 'Please forgive me.' I take a quick glance down at Abri's working mouth.

'And her too.'
