My Girl

3

I checked out my Tag HEUER watch and I noticed I was there on time. I looked up and noticed Keisha's radiant skin glow under the full moon. Her chocolate brown skin made my eyes glue for a moment. I got out and opened the door for her. I noticed that she was cold although she held her small red purse and a brown leather jacket. Her black jeans made her supple body pop out and her black top made her more beautiful than ever. I could hear her red lipstick on her lips calling me for an invitation but I resisted.

"Wow, you look beautiful," I said as I tried to focus on the road.

"Thank you," she smiled exposing her white front row teeth.

We got to the movie house.

"So, which movie do you want to watch?"

"I'll take When the Bough Breaks," she smiled.

"Can I have two tickets for When the Bough breaks, please," I said over the counter.

The wiry man gave me the tickets.

"What's with Australia and skinny people behind the counter," I whispered in Keisha's ear as she laughed her lungs out.

I joined too. It was now thirty minutes in the movie and as soon as I reached out my hand to grab my juice that is when Keisha placed her hand on mine as we intertwined them. She let her head rest on my shoulder and that is when it struck me. I was in love. After the movie was over, I went with her to my house.

"Welcome to my house!" I screamed as I raised my hands.

"All this to yourself?" she looked at me quizzically.

"Yes," I answered.

"Lovely," she answered.

We got to her house.

"I had a lovely time," she said, this time looking at me.

She snuggled closer and gave me a kiss on the cheek. It was good alright.

"I will see you tomorrow," she said as she got out.

I glanced at her for the last time before I reversed the car. This was the best time of my life.

I got home and gazed at the city lights as I drank my red wine. The view upstairs was fantastic in this three-storey building. I was aroused to sleep then finally, I sought myself to sleep after I prayed.

The next morning was as usual. I got up and went to work.

The phone buzzed and a message popped up.

"You busy?" it said from Keisha.

"Sorry, at work," I replied.

"Meet me at the art gallery after you are done," she replied back.

After work, I got to the art gallery in Sydney. There she was, with her supple body next to a dummy that had a dress on.

"Oh yeah you came," she greeted me with a kiss on my cheek.

"Ladies, meet Andrew," she said, "Andrew, this is Lorna, Kira and Kim."

"You were right girl, he is handsome," Lorna said.

"Lorna!" Keisha shouted.

"What, sorry girl for saying your dude is handsome," she said in a calm tone.

"No, it's okay," I said.

"Let me get you home," I finally said.

"Great," she said as she packed her handbag.

"I'll see you ladies," I said to her friends.

We got to my house.

"Amy, this is Keisha, my girl," I said as I looked at her.

She bit her lip and my words trailed slowly as I looked into her warm brown eyes.

"She's very important to me," I said to Amy.

"Make her feel at home."

"WELCOME AMY, YOU KNOW ANDREW HASN'T BROUGHT A GIRL OVER EVER SINCE.

I chuckled, "Yes Amy thank you for that insight!" I shouted.

"YOU'RE WELCOME," Amy said

That is when I noticed Keisha smiling. I couldn't resist it, I smiled back.

I showed her around the house and showed her the rows of cars that seemed to flood the huge garage that looked like a parkway.

"Feel at home," I finally said.

She sat on my bed and her short dress matched the covers that were on my bed.

"You seem like a really nice guy," she said as she looked at the ceiling.

I got her back to her house.
