Burning For You

Chapter 2

One year later – New York City

“Sasha, it’s today.” Carey called out and Sasha who had just stepped out of the bathroom turned to her friend, while drying your head.

“What is today?” Sasha questioned, puzzled.

“I told you my new boyfriend would be coming over today, he would stay with us for a couple of months until he find a suitable place to settle in, he got transferred to New York and is---“

“Yeah, I remember, what did you say his name was again?” Sasha asked, sitting in front of the mirror stand.

“Derrick.” Carey said sweetly, shuffling through her wardrobe for a nice outfit.

Sasha slowly turned to Carey who looked excited. “You look so excited, does it mean you love this guy more than the flings you had over the last couple months?”

Carey paused and turned to Sasha. “Oh come on, I am not the only bad girl, Sasha, you did admit to having a one night stand with a man in Costa Rica, didn’t you?”

Sasha’s face flushed red, she thought she would forget all about that night, but she didn’t, even when she returned, she kept recalling his touch, it was stuck in her head.

One thing he did help her do was forget about her ex boyfriend, but now that stranger was stuck in her mind and those passionate kiss hunts her every night.

“Look at you, blushing…” Carey teased.

“I am not.” Sasha quickly turned her face away from Carey, and her image stared back at her from the mirror, she noticed how crimson her cheek had become.

She bit down her lower lips, and started applying lotions immediately. “What time is he coming?” She asked, trying to shove her desires away.

“He will be here in fifteen minutes, he texted me.” Carey told her.

Sasha’s eyes dilated. “Damn you Carey, you should have told earlier, I am not even dressed, I can’t let your boyfriend catch me undress, can I?” She stood up and hurried to the wardrobe.

“He has eyes for only me, Sasha. He wouldn’t bait an eye on you.” Carey said while pulling a dress over her heard.

“Rub it all on my face as much as you want.” Sasha rolled her eyes and Carey chuckled, she leaned in and kissed Sasha’s cheek.

“We can share if you want…” Carey whispered.

Sasha shook her off. “I am not having a threesome with you and your boyfriend!” She frowned at Carey who grinned. “And for the records, don’t moan too loud if you both are in the mood, remember there is a single lady in this apartment too.”

Carey chuckled.”I will moan aloud Sasha, that way you would be too horny to reject the blind dates I set for you.”

“You’ve got no shame, Carey. You really are a spoilt brat!” Sasha shook her head, dragging her lazy gaze from her to the mirror.

“I could teach you how to be one…” Carey walked closer and leaned over her, but Sasha caught her by the shoulder whirled her to face the door.

“Get out of my room you little temptation.” She said playfully.

“Oh, you know I find comfort in your room, whereas, your bed is comfortable and you have a lot of fashionable clothes that you just don’t wear out, I only have to wear them out and show them off for you.”

“Your bed will be comfortable once your boyfriend arrive…” Sasha said, pushing her to the door, she opened it and pushed her gently out. “Now go, I need an alone time.” She said.

Carey leaned by the door. “You aren’t m**********g, are you?” She raised the corner of her brows.

Sasha made a face. “Get lost!” She shut the door at Carey face, but heard Carey chuckled.

“It’s not a crime, Sasha, feel free!” She called out.

Sasha shook her head. “How did I get such a roommate?” She muttered to herself and returned to the mirror to style her hair.

A few minutes later, Sasha heard a van pulling over the parking lot, she peeked through her window, it was a moving van. Just before she could conclude who it could be, she heard Carey’s voice.

“He is here, Sasha!” Carey called out. “Come down.”

Sasha drew a sharp breath, and walked out of the room. She had never had a male roommate before, but Carey had pleaded with her, told her to make an exception just this once.

Carey said she met this man online, they started talking and he seem like a nice person, and that he has never been to New York before but finally got a job transfer here.

He had decided on staying in a hotel until he finds a permanent resident, but Carey had insisted he stay at the apartment, her reason… so she could feel his warmth every night and also satisfy her desires.

Sasha had agreed to it because it was one of the first favors Carey had asked her, and it looked like Carey was finally going to settle down with a man rather than go out with multiple men like she had in the past.

Sasha slowly pushed the front door open and stepped out, a smile curled up on her lips when she saw Carey hugging the man tightly, he hugged her back. Sasha couldn’t make out the face since his back was turned at her.

She exhaled softly and stepped closer, Carey leaned back, Sasha could see her friend grinning from ear to ear, she had never seen Carey look this excited, it was the first time and it made her happy.

Carey kissed the man passionately, and Sasha contemplated going back inside to let them finish. She looked away from the love birds, while she waited to be introduced.

She could hear Carey panting heavily when she finally tore her lips from his. “Least I forget, Derrick, meet my roommate, Sasha,” Carey said and Derrick turned slowly. “Sasha, this is Derrick.”

The smile on Sasha’s face instantly disappeared when she came face to face with the last person she had ever expected to see.

She blinked in surprise, and her eyes dilated as she stared at the face that had a striking resemblance with the man she met at the beach bar in Costa Rica.

‘What? This is Derrick?’ Her jaws dropped.
