Her Man is a coming-of-age romance that follows the journey of Melissa, a young girl navigating the complexities of adolescence, dreams, and unspoken love. After moving from her small town to a bustling city for better opportunities, Melissa befriends Shelly, an energetic and carefree girl, and begins to adjust to her new life. Amid the pressures of exams and a new environment, Melissa finds herself haunted by vivid, erotic dreams about Jerome, Shelly's older brother, whom she has secretly admired for a long time.
The story begins with Melissa's internal struggle as she grapples with her feelings for Jerome, her "Knight in Shining Armour," whose physical allure and magnetic presence have captured her heart. Her dream-like fantasies blur the line between reality and desire, causing her to experience moments of anxiety and excitement in his presence. As she spends more time with Shelly, her crush on Jerome intensifies, and her encounters with him leave her flustered and full of longing.
While Melissa tries to focus on her studies and exams, her mind constantly drifts to Jerome and the possibility of a deeper connection with him. The tension between her crush and the uncertainty of whether her feelings are reciprocated leads her on an emotional rollercoaster. As the narrative unfolds, Melissa's journey is marked by moments of self-discovery, vulnerability, and the complexities of one-sided love. She faces the challenge of balancing her affection for Jerome with her friendship with Shelly, all while trying to navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence, dreams, and budding romance.
The story touches on themes of unspoken desire, the intensity of teenage crushes, and the emotional turbulence of growing up. Through Melissa's experiences, Her Man explores the highs and lows of young love, friendship, and the often confusing emotions that come with navigating romantic feelings for someone who may not even notice them.
I wait for him to look at me.
"The fuck you staring at me for,bitch??" He snarls.
I lean in quickly,pressing my lips to his.
He freezes,eyes widening. Then he suddenly shoved me away,hard. I lost my balance and fell back.
"Ew,the fuck you putting your girl germs on me for? Just because we're childhood friends doesn't mean I prefer your sushi over cock."
"You kissed me last time and didn't wipe your lips!"
He shrugs,looking forward.
"That was different."
I shove him,angrily. "Kiss me!"
He narrows his eyes,shoving me back.
"The fuck you raising your voice at??"
I get in his face. "The only motherfucker here,you stupid or some shit?"
He stares at me for a long time.
Then ..."don't do that."
"Do what?" I ask.
"the attitude thing. Stop it."
He looks forward again and I smile,smugly.
"Why,am I intimidating?" I grin.
"Intimidating?" He looks at me,thumping his cigarette. "Honey,you could never intimidate me."
"Then why should I stop?"
He leans in my face. "because when you get an attitude like that,it makes me want to fuck the shit out of you."
He brushes past me without another word.
