“Okay.” Maddison responded as she let Kane pull her to the opposite side of the pool.
“So, what’s up then?” I asked Amber.
“Shit.” She giggled.
“You were just talking that big s**t a moment ago.”
“I was, but only to get Maddy where she wanted to be.” She laughed.
“Damn, so you were just using a nigga?” I said, pretending to be hurt.
“Mhm, you fine and all that but I’m not interested.”
Now I was shocked, “Damn, Love, like that?”
“Yep, I know your type.”
“What’s that?”
“You’re fine as f**k, you probably workout every f*****g day, you’re cocky as s**t, and I know you probably got some amazing d**k. But because of all of that you’re a dog just chasing a bone. Once you get that you’re no longer interested. I have no desire to be another notch on your belt, Zane.”
I chuckled, “You got all of that from our quick interactions?”
“Hmm, I seen you last night. You had all of them bitches all over you, the way you carry yourself just screams, that nigga.”
“So, you were watching me last night?” I smirked, moving closer to her.
“I just said you’re fine as f**k, what red blooded woman wouldn’t?”
“Maddison wasn’t, Camilla wasn’t, Zoey wasn’t.”
She giggled, “You’re not their type.”
“But am yours.”
She bit her bottom lip and looked away, “Maybe.”
“Ain’t no maybe.” I laughed. “But yo mans ain’t s**t like me.”
“First off, he ain’t my mans and secondly, just because you’re my type doesn’t mean I have to be with someone like you. I don’t even think you’re capable of being in a relationship.”
Now I was touching her leg, “That may be true, but I know am capable of giving you what you need.”
“What’s that?”
I winked at her, “You know.”
She full on laughed at me, “Nigga please. That weak ass s**t must work on all your little notches.”
Damn, she really just laughed at me.
“I see you’re one of those hard-to-get girls.”
“I’m one of those, you won’t ever get girls.” She huffed flicking my forehead. “I’m not about to f**k you because you’re fine, you can go find somebody else for all of that.”
“Damn, like that?”
“Just like that.”
“I’ve never been turned down before,” I laughed, “and you flicked a nigga, the f**k?”
“Get used to it Zane.”
“But I’m fine?”
“Fine as hell, tempting, but I’m not an easy fuck.”
“How about I take you out to dinner?”
She made a face at me; I laughed and raised my hand. “Not on some f**k nigga s**t. I just want to apologize for coming at you with that weak ass shit.”
She smacked her lips, “You’re just trying to trick me.”
“Foreal, you’re beautiful as s**t. I’m not tryna run game, I really want to take you out and get to know you.”
She rolled her eyes, “Yeah, right.”
“Seriously, no bullshit on some friendly s**t. Come on, don’t make a nigga keep begging.”
“Fine, Zane, I’ll go with you to dinner.”
I couldn’t help but smile at her, “Tonight?”
“No, how about next week?”
“Next week?”
She smiled, “I need to get in the mindset to deal with your fine ass.”
“See, how am I supposed to deal with you calling me fine every two minutes.”
“Don’t you get called fine all the time?”
“Yeah, but you’re not tryna f**k so I don’t know what to do.” I laughed.
“Just say thank you.” She teased.
“Well, thank you Love.”
“Nuh uh.”
“What?”
“Don’t be calling me Love and s**t you call all yo girls that. I’m not that.”
“Aye, Kane!” I yelled.
“What’s up?”
He and Maddison were hella making out in the jacuzzi and I couldn’t say I wasn’t jealous. Amber should be all on me like that.
“Have you ever in yo f*****g life, heard me call a girl Love.”
“Hell naw!” Kane laughed, “I don’t even know you to remember a name.”
“Damn, you are not helping me here.”
“My bad, no he doesn’t call anybody anything special that I know of.”
“See?” I said turning back to Amber, “I don’t usually do that and I don’t take anybody on dates.”
“Yeah, we’ll see. I still think you’re tryna be slick.”
“I’m always up to something, but I promise you I won’t do nothing you don’t want me to.”
“We’ll see.”
“Tell me something about you, I can see you’re beautiful and I‘m guessing you’re a daddy’s girl.”
“Well, I just turned twenty-one in May and I’m definitely a daddy’s girl but I’m close to both of my parents. I’m an only child, my girls are the only siblings that I have.”
“The only child, you must be spoiled.”
She giggled, “Spoiled rotten but I did get my ass beat.”
“Let me not say that.”
“Say it.”
“Hell naw, you’ll turn my date down.” I laughed.
“Nasty ass.” She laughed, “Do you have any other siblings?”
“No, it’s just me and that nigga. Our pops barely wanted our asses, and moms was happy she had babies.”
“They’re still together?”
“Yep, getting on each other nerves more than ever.” I laughed, “Pops owns a gym and moms decided to work at a daycare. She got sick of waiting for us to bring home babies.”
“What does she think about your ways?”
I dipped under the water, the question hella took me off guard.
“She’s pissed.” I answered when I came back up, “She always wanted us to find some good women and settle down. Kane stopped with all the bullshit when he got in his sophomore year, he said the s**t gets old.”
“I’ve only been in one relationship my whole life,” Amber laughed, “I wish I could say dating around gets old.”
“Why didn’t you?” I asked, “You’re the first girl I’ve met to only been with one guy for so long.”
“You really want to know?” She asked raising an eyebrow.
“Yes, I’m really curious.”
“Well, I don’t know honestly. Damion and my relationship had so many issues, I feel like I only held on because I wanted something like my parents. If I had to name my favorite thing about a long-term relationship though, it would be having someone who knows you in and out. Like they know you so good that you don’t even have to say anything to know what they’re thinking. I feel like I was that with Damion, but he didn’t return the favor.”
“Don’t s*x get boring though?”
Amber coughed, “I’m not tryna talk s*x with you.”
I grinned at her, “Humor me.”
“Fine, I’ve only been with one person, but I don’t think so. Because you know what spots to hit and when to hit it. You get so comfortable with each other that you can try new s**t. Unlike having random s*x partner that’s going to miss all the signs and be hella clumsy with your body.”
“So, in six years, you ain’t never thought about f*****g another man?”
She blushed, “You’re so nosy!”
“I’m curious!” I laughed, “It’s not my fault you’re mad shy, Love.”
She rolled eyes, “There have been times that I’ve wanted to be with another guy. Just to see what it’s like, I just told you Damion’s my first and only.”
“He was you’re first, but he won’t be your only.”
She splashed me again, “Our date is about to get cancelled.”
“See, I didn’t say nothing about me being the next! You’re the one thinking about humping on me.”
“I don’t hump.” She laughed.
“You make love?” I teased.
She bit her bottom lip and flipped me off. She tried to smack me, but I moved, and she fell into the pool.
