I licked my lips before I answered her because she was getting nervous which made me cocky.
"Nahh I'm just assuming," I answered. "My name is Anthony by the way," I said with my hand out to shake. She looked at it and laughed.
"I'd rather die than become your friend."
"See we can just skip to the sex part if you want," I said and she stopped laughing.
Shit, there I go again being a dumbass and saying out of pocket things. I figured I'd let her cool down, especially since I've already upset her today.
After what felt like an hour she asked, "Why do all guys just think about sex?"
"We can't help it," I said while smiling at her but she made a morbid look so I continued my statement. "Some can only think about sex and only want sex. Others want love and don't mind adding sex into the mix. But don't get me wrong girls want sex too and girls cheat too. So don't just go pro-fem on me out of nowhere."
"I never said that girls don't cheat, but most of the time when they do it's meaningful because their partner wasn't treating them right," she said while staring into space like she was fixed on the idea and action itself. "But when guys do it, well most always do it, even if they don't actually insert themselves into the girl. It can be the way he talks about someone else with his friends or the way he undressed that thick girl with his eyes in the matter of seconds. The fact that he'd even want someone else's lips on his is enough."
The room went silent and it was as if they all heard her because they were just looking at us for like ever. I was fine with the lovely attention but you could tell that she was sweating with fear.
"Do you want to get out of here," I asked. She contemplated it for a few minutes and just took my hand so we could walk out.
"So where will our adventure begin," I asked while lighting up a blunt, which she then grabbed and stopped on. "Hey!"
"We won't even have an adventure if you smoke around me blaze boy."
"Ahh so that's what you call me," I said while smirking. She blushed and looked away.
We started walking and before I knew it we were at the Ringer Park. We sat on the bench that faced the playground.
" When I first moved here I would come here and yell super loud at like 11 at night because I was so angry. For moving here, for the reason, for my past...just for everything," she said while looking straight ahead.
My eyes looked at her and tried to remember her curl pattern. She had honey blonde hair with dark brown roots. It suits her well.
"Did you cheat," I asked.
She looked at me with a bewildered look but understood by the pain in my eyes.
"He wasn't interested in me anymore but I loved him or thought I loved him so much to leave him. Then this guy came along and he sang his way into my heart literally," she said while smiling at the memory of him, I assume. "He made me realize that I was worth more, but I friend zoned right off the bat because I'm loyal. But that one night, that one kiss changed everything."
"Did you tell your boyfriend how you felt though and that you were fooling around with someone else?"
"Yeah but I wasn't fooling around with anyone and never ha-," she stopped in the middle of her word and looked at me. "I think I should go home now."
She got up and started walking. "Wait let me walk you home."
"No," she said a little too harshly. "I can do it by myself."
I stood there like an idiot and watched her walk away. There's something about her that's so alluring and comfortable at the same time. I'm officially mesmerized and can't wait to talk to her.
I walked home smiling so hard at the thought of talking to her again, that my jaw started burning. I haven't even thought about Her in awhile. Maybe I will actually get over her.
PUNCH
"Stop calling my girl she don't want yo ass no more," a voice said as I felt repetitive kicking on my stomach. I couldn't even get my gun because I was crouched in a position trying to protect myself. I'm not stupid I know that this was bound to happen, but I didn't care before.
Then out of nowhere I felt a bag go over my head and my body get lifted into a car. As I took in more breaths I realized that I was slowly becoming unconscious.
I woke up on a chair with my hands tied to the back of me in a cellar with one light bulb like in the movies, except I can get killed and no one can rate this movie bad because it's not one. The smell in this room was treacherous. It reeked of alcohol, piss, and weed. People talk about the Blacks being the richest people in the area yet of this was a representation of them, they have a lot of explaining to do. My throat burned like crazy and I'm so thirsty.
"You like to weed from my people. Did you know that," he said. "I'm Dimitri by the way." He put his hand out for me to shake I assumed.
"Kiss it," he said with so much dominance that I almost did it. I looked at his hands to see a lot of cuts and tattoos; also his pinky was dressed in a gold ring with a 'B' in diamonds. I spit on it and the same second that my saliva landed on his hand he punched me with it.
"Spicy..I like it. This will be fun," he said and a chuckle afterwards. "She said you'd be no trouble but you see to be all bad and bold after one beating."
I guess he was referring to the guys who beat my ass to the almost death of me. I spat out some more blood and asked him a question.
"What do you want?"
"Aww you aren't going to fight anymore? It was just getting fun, pussy boy." He smirked. "I want you to be dead," he said in a dead-serious tone. "But for some damn reason she wants you alive. I should kill you for just being alive because even though she doesn't want to admit, I can see it in her eyes that she feels for you and you have a special place in her heart." He moved my head around with his gun.
I should be scared but the last thing I want is to see satisfaction dancing in his eyes from seeing fear drip in the tears yet to fall off my face. So instead I look at him with anger and say the dumbest shit ever. "I mean she must have if she came to me all those nights to suck my dick right before I put it in her."
This time he punched me so hard my seat fell back and my head kissed the floor as I screamed in agony. Then he kept throwing punches and I prayed anyone would come to save me from him...this.
Specifically her.
