Chapter 2

{Amara POV}

“Hey Stace, what you up to girly?”, I say to Stace as I let myself into her dorm. “Damn Amara what if I had a man in here? Busting in like that, you would’ve seen us in all our glory”, says Stacey with a bit of irritation in her voice. “My bad girl, I haven’t been able to think straight since I ran into this fine ass man on my way to class this morning and when do you ever have a man over?” I say with a chuckle. “Um, first of all I don’t like bringing men over to where I stay because ya never know what men these days intentions are,” Stacey says with a matter of fact tone. “I know girl but you’ve been dating Maleke for how long now and he still has yet to spend the night?” I say disappointedly. “I stay at his place so he’s fine with it and he hasn’t pushed it so mind your business bitch.” She stays with a playful tone. “Whatever cousin, y’all do y’all. If y’all like I love it but let’s backup to the fine as man I saw earlier because you just ignored that. Cousin, I think I’m in love.” I say with heart eyes. She chuckles, “you just might be. I haven’t heard you talk about anyone else like this before. Did you get his name? Maybe I know him.” “His name is Dyson, he’s like 6’5, nice muscular build, with dimples, I say excitedly. “Dyson.. Dyson.. oh yes Dyson. I’ve seen him around he’s dark skinned right?” Says Stace. “Yess that’s him. He’s cute huh? I say wanting know what she thought of him. “Yeah girl he handsome. You lucky as hell aslways got some man after you especially the fine ones.” Stacey says. “Man nah, because I don’t be wanting them men. They always pushing up on me. I don’t really know what it is that attracts so many different men to me but today my curse proved a blessing.” Girl you talking about this man like y’all about to get married or something. Have you even seen him since you first met him?, says Stacey while rolling her eyes. “I just saw him this morning before class and I came straight here after I ate lunch so no I haven’t seen him. I had to basically run away from him to make it to class on time so I didn’t give him a chance to ask for my number.” I say. “ you need to get more bold when it comes to men that you like. If you knew you wanted to see him again you should’ve gave him your number.” Ugh, I can’t do something like that. I’d feel like Nikki Parker from the Parkers. Stacey laughs, “you funny as hell, but no man would ever look at you as annoying so I think you would’ve been fine. If it’s meant to be I’m one hundred percent sure you’ll run into him again” Stacey says knowingly. “You’re right Stace, that’s why your my cousin and bestie. I’m going to get out of here I have my 2 o’clock class to get to. “ I tell her I love her as I walk out the door.

“Hey Amara, it’s a seat open next to me.” “Thanks Chris, but I’m going to sit by Tensley.”, I say as I take my seat next to Tensely. I always sit by Tensley in this class so I’m not sure why Chris thought I’d change that routine today. Shaking the thought from my head.” Mr. Walker strolls in. Did everyone finish their papers? Let’s get started then. Who’d like to go first?” Me and a few of my classmates raised our hand. “Ms. Teal, the floor is yours.” I thank him while gathering my papers and heading to the podium. “Please tell us what your paper is about.” Says Mr. Walker. “I chose to write a horror story. There’s this group of college friends who takes an annual trip in the summer to a different location each year. This year is their senior year so they decided to Hotbox island off the coast Yucatán peninsula. There, they find themselves being stalked by a strange man with a bow and arrow. Let’s dive in and see who will survive the night.” That was a really good story, Amara. I wish I was half as good as a writer as you. Tensley says as I take my seat next to her. “Thanks Tens. You’ll do great too, I’m sure. Are you not feeling confident about your story?” “Not really, I can talk all day but I’m not great with putting my thoughts together on paper but I’m okay with it. I just need to pass this class and never look back” she chuckles. “I know that’s right. Passing and moving forward is all that matters.”

Phone rings. “Hello.” “Hey Amara, do you want to go out with me and Tensley tonight.” asked Stacey. “I’m down. What y’all wearing?” I asked. “I’m wearing a white body suit with some Jordan 1s. I’m not sure what Tensley’s wearing.” “That sounds cute. I say. I have to see what I’m wearing but let’s all meet at your place and I’ll drive.” “Ok see you later,” says Stacey. Once Stacey was off the phone, I headed to my closet so I could go ahead pick out my outfit. What am I going to wear? Ooh I can wear my pink spaghetti strapped dress with my clear block heels. Yes, that’s decided I’m wearing this outfit I say while laying it on the bed. Now, I need to take my shower, shave my legs, and wash my hair. Once I’m done in the shower, I moisturize my skin mixing rose oil with bath and body works a beautiful day lotion. “Feeling my skin afterwards, this combination always makes my skin feels so soft,” I think to myself. I look at this clock it’s already 9 o’clock so I need to get a move on it. Next hair. I head to the bathroom and blow dry my hair in four sections and then piece by piece straightened my hair. Once done, I took at look at myself in the mirror while running the comb through my now bone straight hair. Do I want to just wear it down or do a certain style? I think out loud to myself. Then I pictured Meg the stallions hairstyle from Ariana’s 34+35. Seems simple snd cute so I pull out two piece of hair in the front and pulled my hair in two ponytails in the back. Cute. Now, makeup. I like to wear very late makeup if any. I decided just out a little concealer under my eyes, I did my eyebrows with a perfect ombré tint, put my mink eyelashes on and put a pop of baby pink eye shadow on. Damn I look good. I think to myself. It’s 10:30 now the girls will be pulling up any minutes. I think to myself while putting on my dress an shoes. Once dressed, I headed over to my full body mirror and did a dance test. I bent my nerves and arched my back while shaking make backside. Okay. I can twerk in this. Knock on the door. “Ooh y’all look cute. Stacey was wearing the white body suit she told me she was going to wear. It wrapped her body perfectly and really made her brown skin pop. Tensley was wearing a baby blue spaghetti strapped pants body suit with white heels. We are all petite. I just have a bit more ass and Tensely has more breasts. “We look damn good. Let’s take a picture before we leave.” I say. After we take what seemed like a million pictures, because everyone decided they wanted to take a solo picture as well, we headed to the club.
