In Between

Feeling Myself

Steam covering the oval crackled mother of pearl mirror sitting above my bathtub. Taking a sip of Copper Ridge Merlot out of my favorite John Rocha red cut crystal wine glass, I place it on the three tier round glass table then I lay back. Fulfilling my nostrils with some vanilla fragrance aromatherapy candles, giving me that therapeutic relaxation I need. Listening to Tink lullaby got me feeling so sexy and mysterious thinking about this man. My mystery man I'll call him. I lift one leg out water and mount it on the side of the tub so the hot water can tickle my kitty just so I can fantasize about what his touch would feel like down there. As I reach for my glass again trying to shake these thoughts away which seems like the opposite, my phone vibrates. Wondering who could be calling on a Friday night, thought everyone had plans but me. Looking at my screen I noticed an out of state number for the fourth time this week. Really on and off for a month. I've been questioning myself if it's important they will leave a voicemail so none yet meaning continue to ignore. As I lay back in my combridge acrylic double ended slipper bathtub, the elegance and overall comfort of my bathroom puts my mind back in the mood. Jhene Aiko wading comes on through my surround sound now my thoughts are really in the zone. Wanting or should I say craving for that special relationship especially with the right man as my soulmate to love and cherish. Or, maybe im just horny. I start laughing to myself shaking my head cause for the most part that's the reason. Relaxing in my honey suckle milk bath, the scents of coconut, and real organic roses make me feel like a queen being pampered. As I grab my spa sponge and lather the Olay, more thoughts of his touch appear in my mind. So many ways he could caress my body starting from nothing because my phone keep vibrating once again interuping my vibe. Who could this be! My frustration with the unknown calls and the lack of no dick. I really don't wanna talk to any one right now. I have nothing planned for tonight or this weekend so damn! Can a chic have some me time. As I rinse off real quick and search for my towel to dry off, I snatch my silk robe. No need to soak and fantasize, that's been interrupted more than once. Checking my missed call log to see Taylor had called. Taylor is my child hood best friend since middle school shes more like a sister to me so I know she just checking on a chic. We both are semi busy so if we don't chat or see each other over the weekend, somethings not right. Opening up a text: LET ME CALL YOU AFTER I GET DRESSED. YOU JUST TOOK ME OUT MY ZONE! LOL! I know she gone reply something crazy I said to myself. About a minute later my phone light up Taylor: YO LONELY ASS! OKAY! LOL! Going inside my bedroom to sit in front of my platinum wood vanity desk I love so much. This was a gift from my mother for my thirtieth birthday this year. My mother is the boujie type but we all came from the hood so I cant say always boujie. Looking for my wild Madagascar vanilla body lotion from bath and body works, smelling it makes you want to eat, it smells so good. Starting from my neck and work my way down admiring my perfectly shaped body I'll thank my mother for including my light caramel skin tone my dad added. Sliding across my double D cup breast, down to my twenty eight inch waist, now curving around these fourty eight inch hips. Needing a little bit more lotion for this size twelve slash fourteen ass oh how I adore so much. Finishing up these semi long legs and toes, I walk over to the walk in closet to pick out something to lounge in. My choice of BeBe high waist grey leggings, with a white tiny tee crop top, no bra and panties for what. Slipping on my black ankle socks, I walk towards the kitchen to grab my plate of fruit I cut up earlier. As my company, I pull out the bottom freezer for my red wine and head back to my room. Sitting on my bed, I search for the clock on my night stand that read ten fourty five pm. Grabbing my phone I recline on the headboard to call Taylor back. As the phone start to ring I notice I'm smashing this fruit. Strawberries and pineapples are my favorite too. Hello. Hey sissy what your doing love bug? Girl you know me, getting ready for Angel to pick me up so we can go out to the club tonight. What about you, miss I need a man. For one Taylor, I don't need a man, my independence shows you that. Yeah yeah I hear you Raina. Now I know I haven't had anybody to mess my hair up lately that's another story lol!, But for real T I'm doing the usual, laid back maybe do a movie, if this wine don't put me down. Well you know its nothing wrong with that, but when your coming with me and Angel to the club girl. Girl bye! You know I don't do the club scene like that, and Angel she cool but that's your home girl not mine. Now Raina why you got to jump on Angel she always try to be your friend. Taylor all hoes want to be friends, and I have you to be a friend so I'm good. Have you ever known me to mess with many. Okay okay, before you keep preaching, you my girl Raina im just trying to get you out the house. Ya girl good, you know when I wanna get out I will, besides, you better be on time for work Monday we have some new items being shipped to the store and we must have it all put out by closing. See sis that's what I'm talking about, you own your own business, banging personality, and my girl fine lol you got to get out and find your knight and shining armor. Now T you know I travel that's my thing, but just because I'm not out clubbing doesn't mean ill find him there. Besides, who want to see Anthony thirsty ass! You know I don't! And you what sis, every time he see me he play it off by buying me a drink, then start talking about you. Where ya girl at T, why you didn't bring her T, just on and on he be killing me. You think I don't know. When he come in the store knowing his ass don't read, giving me a look like please catch my eye. Then when I do here he go with the crying. Raina why don't you answer the phone, you know I miss you, le met explain it all this time. Ha Ha! That's what his ass get, he just too damn thirsty, poor little fella. He as too damn short anyway T forget his ass. Anytime a dude has to hold his phone with his dick to piss, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he on some sneaky shit. Remember when I called him to see why he was late to go out, and a female in the background saying why you doing me like this. Aw hell yeah! That's why I said Raina lets go confront his trifling ass! No T its better ways of doing it and you see that every time you at the club. Yeah that's true, I'm just a hands on type of chick you know lol! Yes I do that's why I got to keep you under control hot mama. So are we still on for going back home next month. I haven't changed my mind its about time to smell them Chicago streets, and I'm missing my people like crazy. Yeah I know Raina its been a minute and I know my son is getting big everyday. You know Raina, I want to bring him back one day. Taylor that's your baby and when your ready I am always ready with you. Hold up sis let me answer my other line. Waiting on T to come back to the line, I take my saucer and glass to the kitchen, feeling that wine even more now I'm ready to doze off. Hey boo that was Angel she pulling up but before I go, when was the last time you seen ole boy that came in the store the other day. I know you got a sneaky look on your face T but whatever, you know he just came in this Wednesday and you was off yesterday and today girl I would have told you. Well damn, talk about paying attention you sure you not stalking lol. For your information he came to my work place thank you very much. So why you didn't say something instead of being hypnotized by his eyes. Because! We were talking business you know being professional girl. The feeling I got seeing him I cant even explain. Last time I checked Raina your were thirty years old so stop being scary. T you know how it is when you feeling someone it makes you shy and shit, and I don't even know dude. He was a gentleman though oh my God. Well when I'm feeling a guy like that at the club, I just back this ass up on him and they fall in line okay chick! Look I got to go we will talk more tomorrow sis love you. Okay love you too, please be careful out there, don't have me putting on my joggers and gym shoes ready to come save yo ass. You know Angel cant fight lol. Now Raina you know me, keep that thirty eight on me. Bye Taylor get off my line. Bye stank.
