Heal Your Heart: An August Alsina Story

10. Noche De Amor

         Stephanie was excited to get off of work. It's the end of the week and she is flying to Atlanta to see August. Stephanie was big on quoting song lyrics on her Twitter account as she writes: "I'm coming to see you/I'm wearing the dress that you like/ I'll be on the 1st plane/ I'll call when I get there from Brandy's "When You Touching Me". Stephanie landed that night and suggested that her and August go to Cheetah. She figured she see what it was like. She was a little scared about what she would see. She saw women dancing, some topless. Some were on the poles while there's gave lapdances on men.

         Stephanie saw a stripper and called her over to do a lap dance for August. Why not? She's not the jealous type. As long as there were no boundaries being crossed, she didn't care. What guy doesn't like the strippers? Stephanie wanted to see the body language as August received his lap dance from the stripper. It was all curiousity for Stephanie.

         They reached August's house to hit the hay. Before falling asleep, they engaged in a deep heart to heart full of declarations and promises as he held her from behind. This was the way Stephanie always dreamed of being held. She used to use a teddy bear and lay in front of it wrap its arms around her and wished it was a man. Now, that was a reality because she was being held by a man.

         The next morning, they decide to stay in all day. Stephanie left August on bed as she got up to make breakfast for two. She made French toast, eggs and bacon to eat. One way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Cooking is what Stephanie did best. They watched movies all day.  That was until August left to go run errands. As the sun began to go down, Stephanie began to prepare dinner and dessert. For dinner she made smothered pork chops with corn and rice. For dessert she made banana pudding from scratch. As that cooked, she lit aromatherapy candles and had fresh rose pedals all over the bedroom. There were massage oils out. She had on red lingerie underneath her silk robe. She was nowhere to be found when August returned.

          "Ready to eat"?, Stephanie said as she greeted him upon arrival. She made their plates, they sat and conversated over dinner.
Stephanie: Never been in love until now. I gave up on it because I thought it will never come my way and here we are. It's so funny that you are not what I would go for. I guess you always end up with those you don't see yourself with. Are you afraid to get your heart broken again?
August: Yeah.
Stephanie: You have to be willing to get your heart broken if you want to find love. You were letting that fear keep you from it. Don't worry. I got you as long as you got me.
August: I love you.
Stephanie: I love you too. Thanks for loving me back.

They leaned over the table and kissed. Stephanie cleaned the kitchen and led August to the bedroom. She pushed him into the bedroom chair and turned on the stereo. She turned on Jhene Aiko's "Higher" and proceeded to give him a lap dance.

        After the lap dance, he saw the "Trust" body oils on the nightstand. Stephanie removed her robe and laid horizontally at the bottom of the bed. He began to rub the oil from her neck down. Then he switched with her so he can return the favor. She relinquished control. Stephanie was a very tense person who does not trust when someone else is in control of her body. In this situation, she felt she may as well let him take the wheel. Stephanie was a virgin. She did not know how to take control in the sexual aspect.

           One thing that came to Stephanie's mind as things began to escalate was should she? Would she regret this? The answer was yes to the first question and no to the second. Why? She loved August and he loved her so the time was right. As they partake in foreplay, their lips departed. August asked " Are you sure about this? "Yes, take me... I want you ... I want it". Stephanie responded. That was it. Stephanie was no longer a virgin. Her V-Card was swiped. The crazy thing is Stephanie contemplated masturbation before losing her innocence. That would have ruined the experience. She wanted to experience the whole thing, pain including. He didn't care only about his satisfaction. He ensured that he was gentle.
