“You’re what? A virgin? What the hell, Monica!” Saddiq says jumping off of me. “What’s wrong?” I say jumping up as well. “You’re a virgin! That’s what’s wrong! You didn’t think to tell me this before now. You’re laid up here about to give away something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. The way you just came at me, I thought you’d already been through this experience. This is a lot to put on a guy at once, Monica. Damn, man!” Saddiq says standing from the bed. Wow, I didn’t realize that he’d be this upset. “Saddiq…I’m…” I start to say but he cuts me off. “I don’t want to hear it. Get your stuff. I’m taking you back to your dorm” he says without even looking at me. I do as he says and quickly get myself together. The entire ride home is silent. I even try to turn on the radio but he turns it back off. We pull up in front of my dorm and he doesn’t say a word. “Are you really that mad? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t know that it would affect you this way. You hear me?” I say. I stare at him but he just looks forward. I get out and close the door; he smashes out.
“Hey, how’d you get back before me?” Nelle says coming through the door with her top hanging halfway off her shoulders. “Well it looks like you had fun” I say looking her up and down. She quickly looks down at herself and gives off a shy smile. “So you and Trevin hitting it off, huh?” I ask. She lets out a little giggle and says “Yeeesss. He’s such a great guy. I didn’t expect to meet anyone like him in my first semester here at school. I am feeling him though. And him being cute makes it all the better. Looks like we’ve found us some pretty great guys” Ginelle says smiling hard. “Yeah, maybe you have. Saddiq is mad at me right now. That’s why I’m back so early.” I say miserably. Nelle moves closer and says, “What the hell happened? You guys are already off to a bad start?” “Sooooo, I kinda got him in the mood to have sex and then told him that I’m a virgin. He drove me home in silence. I texted him once since I’ve been here…no response” I tell Ginelle. “Wait, you’re a virgin. I thought you and Anthony Lewis did that in high school…11th grade?” she says. “No, everyone just assumed we did. We started but he couldn’t get on hard so nothing happened” I respond, slightly lauging. “Well, that’s interesting. I assumed you did too but figured you didn’t want to talk about it so I never asked. I mean, you never said anything. Wow! Ok, yeah, I’d probably be mad too. Thinking I’m about to get a piece of ass and you talking about you a virgin. Girl! Good thing he just drove you home. Many guys wouldn’t have done that. He’s just mad right now. He’ll be fine” she says trying to reassure me. Let’s get some shuteye. We’ve gotta go visit Kehlani in the morning.
“Well look what the cat drug in” Kehlani says greeting us at the front door of her house. “Hey, you look good!” Nelle says giving Kehlani a hug first. I reach in and get my hug in and we all sit down. We both give Kehlani a rundown of what’s been happening since she’s been gone. “Damn, I’ve missed all the good parties. And didn’t you lose your virginity to Anthony’s fine ass back in high school?” she asks. I explain to her what happened and just like Nelle she’s shocked and surprised. “Listen, I hate to change the subject but I’ve gotta know. What happened at the strip club? Who hurt you?” I ask Kehlani and Nelle. “All I can remember is us getting up to do our dances and then having a few drinks. We’re just chillin out this guy asks me if he can have a private dance. I told him I was off the clock. That’s what Deon told us to tell anyone that came at us like that. The guy went away. I thought nothing else of it. I get up to use the restroom before we leave and everything starts to move in slow motion. The guy from the bar that tried to get me to dance caught me and told me he was helping me sit down. He tearing my clothes off of me and handling me roughly. I literally thought the punk was going to rape me, yall. I did. Deon came and saved me. He beat the man up. Momma talked with Deon. He says the guy has gone to jail now. Evidently I wasn’t the first girl he tried it on. This time he just happened to get caught” Kehlani says with a painful look on her face. “Kehlani, what did he have on?” I ask. “All I remember are fuckin’ flowers. What kind of weird, queer shit is that? Like one of those Hawaiian shirts they sell for old men” Kehlani recalls.
