“Sure,” I said, as I turned to get him a bottle.
I finally got the bottle of water from the fridge. I stared at his hands as I handed him the bottle. I would have loved to have my body parts in those hands instead of the water bottle. It was hard for me to swallow my spit as my throat got drier and drier while Sid stood in front me, I hungered for his touch. He said, “Thank you,” and walked back to this apartment.
I closed the door and screamed, “Oh my God!” I got in the shower and brushed my teeth. I started cleaning my house; I did the dishes and wiped the counters down. I vacuumed the floors and made my bed. After cleaning the house, I decided to take the trash out. I saw Sid standing against the wall, smoking. I passed him by and he said confidently “Hey Kara, I don’t like eating by myself. Would you like to join me?”
“I’m busy today, maybe some other time,” I replied nonchalantly. I looked around the house and thought I would do some painting. It was a beautiful sunny day and I set an old towel on the balcony floor and set up my canvas along with my watercolors. I made a cup of coffee and made my way to the balcony. I had my earphones on and I started painting. I was halfway done with my painting when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and it was Sid with a bag of takeaway food. I smiled at him and he said, “Since you didn’t have the time, I brought the food to you. I thought we could meet halfway.” I nodded in a joyous manner and I still had a smile my face. I quickly told him to come in. We sat on the couch and started eating. We took turns asking questions, getting to know each other. He asked if I was single, and I told him I was.
“Nice,” he replied with a mischievous nod of his head. I asked if he was single too and he also replied yes.
I told him he was very attractive and I was glad that he was my neighbor. Jokingly, he told me he was already in love with me. I laughed and told him I loved him too. He said this was a moment to celebrate and asked if I had any drinks at home. I put my food on the table and grabbed a bottle of wine and two glasses. “Do you want me to open it?” he asked.
“Don’t move a muscle.” I said to him.
“Before one thing leads to another,” he said to me, “I’m inviting you to a football game. I want you to come there to be my cheerleader.” Without thinking twice, I said okay.
I finally opened the bottle and there was a drop of wine on my hand. He licked it off me and said, “You’re very beautiful.”
“The music is in our hearts and around us, close your eyes you will hear it,” he whispered inside my ear, and as he did, I could feel every inch of his well-sculpted body. I could feel every pack, I could feel his strong hands trying to be gentle on my skin. I could feel his warm arms wrapped around me. I felt safer with him. It was amazing; he was one of a kind.
He grabbed my face and said, “You’re an amazing girl,” with his beautiful French accent and he kissed my forehead. I poured some wine but he didn’t want any more. He grabbed my waist and he whispered in my ear, “I want to make love to you so bad right now.”
“I really want to say yes, but I can’t, I can’t break a promise,” I said to him.
“A promise! For what? No sex before marriage?” he laughed and I said, “Maybe.”
He said, “Come to the football game tomorrow and you’ll see things from a different perspective.” I made a confused face but agreed. He laughed and said, “You’re too much… I have to go now; I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“I will be there,” I said to him as he got up from the couch.
I walked him to the door and said goodbye as he went into his apartment. I got a text from Bobby saying he just had a fight with Tony because Tony was saying things he should not be saying. I called Tony and of course he didn’t answer. I got my purse; keys and I went to Bobby’s house. When I got there, I saw Anna with Bobby which made me even angrier. I hated that bitch. She was sick and took my best friend from me. She was just putting a bandage on his hands.
“Where is Tony? What did you do to him?” I asked consecutively.
Bobby replied, “You didn’t even ask me how I’m doing, what kind of a best friend are you?”
“She’s your best friend, not me!” I let out my grouse with Anna, and she rolled her eyes.
“Bobby, ignore her!” She told him.
“You need to fucking stay out of this. He can handle his own battles,” I fired back at her.
“Bobby, I’m very upset with you and do not ever call me ever again,” I fired at Bobby too before storming out of his apartment.
As I left the place, I called Tony to know his whereabouts so I could go check up on him. He told me he was at home so I quickly rushed to Tony’s. When I met him, I saw his lower lips were badly bruised. “Tony, what happened?” I asked, concerned.
Tony was very upset and he was still burning with rage.
He said, “That motherfucker Bobby, next time I see him I will kill him. I saw him at the parking lot today and he said, ‘Hey, where is Kara, the girl that you took away from me.’ I told him to shut the hell up and have some respect, she’s your best friend. Bobby comes at me face-to-face yelling that I should keep my stuff in my pants. I pushed him away and this girl comes at me saying that I’m a loser.” Tony was exasperated. “I don’t understand what I did to these people.”
“I’m so sorry, Tony. I didn’t know you would do all that for me,” I said to him as I gently rubbed his bruised lips.
“Kara, you have no idea how much the time we spend together means to me. I know you don’t look at me like that. But if anyone says anything about you, something comes over me. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings,” he said to me lovingly. Tony was a really caring guy. I had no idea how much he cared about me. I had tears in my eyes and I always got very emotional whenever Tony talked to me like that. It seemed he was the only one that touched my heart. Tony asked for a hug, to which I duly obliged and we hugged for two minutes in absolute silence.
“I hope you are feeling better now?” I asked him.
“Yes, I’m okay now,” he replied as we broke the bland silence. I told him I would call him later as I would be heading back to my place. When I got back home, I went straight into the shower and I cried. I was sad for Tony; I could be very happy with Tony but I needed to be done with whatever we had. I could not fulfill his hunger for me and fulfill his promise. I didn’t want to hurt Tony anymore. I decided to let him go.
I got out of the shower, changed into my pajamas, turned the music on, and grabbed a bottle of wine with a glass. I lay down on the living room floor, listening to music and taking sips of my wine. A few hours later, I fell asleep.
In the morning as I went through my phone, I saw five text messages, all from Bobby. He had been trying to call me perhaps but I had blocked him on my phone. I texted Tony and told him I missed him; I knew I should not have sent this as the message would only mess with his head. I screamed out, “I’m a bad person!”
I got ready for the game with Sid, wearing casual light blue jeans, a white T-shirt with sneakers and a baseball hat. I had my hair in a ponytail and had a small crossbody bag. I walked out of the door and I was locking it when Sid texted me, “Hey babe, I have been waiting for you. You’re my good luck charm today.”
I got to the stadium; the place was packed with supporters from both teams. I checked my ticket for my seat number, I found it and I quickly settled in. I texted Sid, “Hey, where are you?”
A few minutes later, he replied with his own text, “I will be in the stadium in a few minutes.” The fans were screaming and clapping as both teams came out and on the big screen, the camera was showcasing the faces of the players. Oh, that’s why he didn’t want to drink or stay tonight with me. I thought in my head. The game started and of course I was cheering for Sid. He scored four goals for the home team, and everyone in the stadium at one point was calling his name as he dominated the game. That was very was impressive. I couldn’t believe he was my neighbor! The game was over and Sid’s team won.
I was surpri
sed when I heard a group of girls screaming and running towards my direction, I wanted to see what the fuss was all about when I saw Sid in front of them, they were actually chasing Sid, while Sid was running towards me to hug me. I felt on top of the world because the superstar the girls were chasing was actually running to meet me. Sid left his locker room immediately after the game ended just to see me. He probably knew where I sat during the game, as he was able to quickly locate me. He finally caught up with me, gave me a hug, and he said, “I’ll see you later,” and continued running. All the girls ran after him. I got in the car and drove back home.
On my way back home, I got a text from Tony asking me out for lunch. I called him to ask him where, and he told me to meet him at the Le Paris restaurant. A few minutes later, I got there and we exchanged kisses. I looked at his face and he had bruises all over his pretty face. He pulled the seat out for me and I sat down. I asked him how he was feeling today and he said he was feeling okay but he did not get any sleep last night. “I kept thinking about you,” he muttered gently
“Tony, you’re the best thing that has have ever happened to me,” I said to him to make him feel better.
“I have to head back to work.” He stood up to take his leave; we exchanged kisses and parted ways. When I got home, I walked into my apartment very slowly. I sat on the couch and turned on the TV, switching between channels to find something to watch. I settled for a black-and-white movie; it was a very romantic one. This made me think about Tony and his words, the ways he protected me. But on the other hand, I didn’t want to put myself in a place where I could get hurt. Sid knocked on my door, I opened the door, and he had this sexy look on his face as we exchanged kisses. We both went into the house. He quickly took his shirt off, and oh! He looked like a Greek god or should I say French god. He took my shirt off and kissed me from head to toe. He knew how to make me feel like a woman and I shuddered with every kiss. He played with my hair and rubbed his fingers on my chest. I kissed him while I sucked on his fingers. He put my hand behind and kissed my neck. He gently bit me from my neck down to my chest while I kissed and sucked on his neck too; there was not a single hair on his chest. We settled perfectly on the couch, he then went down on me, leaving me no choice but to scream. “What is my name?” he asked repeatedly and each time I told him “Sid!”
“That is right, I love when you scream my name,” he replied. Few minutes later, I could not take it anymore. I didn’t know if the pleasure was more or the pain. He said he would only stop if I cum for him in his mouth, I laughed and covered my face and told him, “I cannot do that.”
“Do it for me, I really need it,” he pleaded and then continued to lick me really good and then I did. After that, he slipped in and out of me. There were times he would kiss me and whisper in my ears how beautiful I was. He was very romantic but as we were having sex, I closed my eyes and barely looked at him. Bobby’s face was all I could see whenever I looked at Sid.
I quickly told him “I’m done.” He stopped and he left my apartment without saying a single word. I was deep in thought, Why Bobby?
Bobby
I texted Bobby, “Hey, where are you?”
Like he had been waiting for my text all day, he replied instantly, “I’m going to the hookah bar in like an hour, what are you up to?”
“I want to talk to you, I miss my best friend,” I told him.
“Aww,” he replied.
I texted back “Can I have my best friend back?”
“I will be there to pick you in about an hour,” he replied with another text. One of my friends came over, we exchanged kisses. He was carrying a purse and I told him I loved his purse. Jason told me his boyfriend bought it for him and I said to him that his boyfriend was a keeper.
I told him lately I had been very jealous of Bobby’s new girlfriend. “What does she look like?” Jason asked.
“Like shit!!!” I replied. We laughed about it. Jason held my hands and said, “Kara, you’re a very beautiful girl, every guy wants to have you. I see all the guys that are running after you. They’re all beautiful men, just pick one.”
I said, “Oh Jason, thank you for your kind words, but I’m losing my best friend here. I want him back and all to myself. I don’t want to share him with her.”
“Babe, get yourself together, everything will work out in the end. Love always wins,” he assured me.
“Bobby is coming to pick me up and we are going to a hookah bar, I don’t know if she’s going to be there to see him,” I explained to Jason. He told me to get ready. I asked Jason to come with me. He said, “Yes, I will come, I have no plans for tonight.” I kissed him on the cheek and thanked him.
I applied my makeup then I did a touch up of my hair and sprayed perfume on my body. I heard a car sound outside, I thought to myself, that must be Bobby. I told Jason to get the door to which he duly obliged. I grabbed my purse and made sure everything I needed was in it. When we heard the bell, I got nervous and I fanned myself with my hands. I grabbed a black sweater and wore it over my dress. Did a little touch up of makeup and perfume again. I came out of the bedroom and I saw Bobby and Jason talking in the living room. I was happy to see him by himself. I had missed him a lot and was starting to think that this was more than friendship that I was feeling. “You look very nice!!!” Bobby exclaimed with a bright smile
“Thank you, Bobby, you look very nice too.” I reciprocated the kind gesture. He kept touching his hair and he did that when he was nervous. I wanted to ask him if he was nervous to see me, but I didn’t because I knew he would deny it.
Jason said, “You guys are so beautiful together, I would love to see you guys together one day.”
I told Jason to stop it as I was biting my fingernails. I was nervous around Bobby and I think this was first time this was happening.
“Are you guys ready?” Bobby asked. I went to go grab my shoes and as I was about to wear them when Bobby helped me with my shoes. He whispered to me as he was doing this, “I’m back to spend time with my friend.” Bobby grabbed my hand, kissed it, opened the door for us and I locked it. While we were on our way to the bar, Bobby got a text from Anna but he ignored it and this made me very happy. We got to the hookah bar; Ash and Anna were both waiting for us. I greeted Ash and kissed him on the cheek and said hi to Anna. She said hi and hugged Bobby. Bobby asked what we wanted; Anna answered first and said we should get a fruity one but Bobby did not acknowledge her reply and proceeded to ask me, “Kara, what are you getting, babe?”
“Grape is fine,” I told him. “What about you, Jason?”
“I will try mango,” he replied.
No one was talking to Anna and I really didn’t want her be part of our group of friends. Ash tried to talk to her, probably to make her feel comfortable. Bobby and I were flirting and talking about everything we had not talked about for the past few days. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Jason whispered in my ear that he knew Bobby was flirting with me. I whispered back that I thought this was going to go somewhere.
Jason said, “I think he always had something for you.” I said I thought that too but then Anna had come between us.
Jason said, “Bobby is looking really nice tonight.”
“Yummy, right?” I replied with a wink. Bobby put his arms around me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was shy and we both smiled. I looked at Anna and she looked like she was not having a good time.
Cody walked in and instantly Anna hugged him. I looked her and said to myself, “Really!!!”
Cody went around the table, exchanged kisses with everyone, and when it was my turn, he gave me a big warm hug and told me I looked beautiful. I thanked him and he sat next to me. Bobby got up and walked towards the door, and a few seconds later, Anna followed him. I got up and followed Anna; she changed her direction towards the restroom because she saw me walking behind them. Bobby raised his hand, so I could see him in the crowd. I walked towards him and he rested his hand on my waist. By the time Anna came out of the restr
oom, the look on her face was priceless. I was doing whatever it took for Anna to leave Bobby alone, Bobby was my best friend and he was mine only. Anna was not welcome in this circle and I wanted her out, and I was going to keep doing whatever I could to get rid of her. Bobby asked me if I wanted to hang out more tonight after this, and I agreed without thinking twice.
“What about Anna?” I asked.
“I don’t care about her feelings right now, I just want my best friend back and I want all of you,” he said to me.
Cody came by and said, “Hey guys, what are you up to? Trying to give directions to a friend of mine to get here, can I borrow Kara for a minute?”
Bobby said, “Yes, of course.”
Cody took me aside and said, “I’ve been trying to get a hold of you for the past three days now. I said I’m sorry, I didn’t reply to your text. But we’re here now, we can catch up.” He was genuinely upset. “I kind of miss you after that great evening with you. I have never had a girl like you.” He was blushing and his face was turning red.
“Oh! Cody, you are very sweet to me all the time.” I said to him. We kissed on the lips. Anna saw us together and she had this look like she was going to tell Bobby and ruin my plans. Cody motioned to me to go back inside. Cody and I held hands and he passed me the hookah. I saw Bobby and Anna sitting next to him, but they were not really talking. Jason sat next to me and I quickly introduced Cody and Jason to each other. Jason whispered in my ears, “I love his hands.”
I told Jason, “Tell me about it, I had amazing sex with him.” Jason covered his mouth and laughed.
Cody asked, “What did I miss?” but we both said nothing at the same time. Jason and Cody started talking while I excused myself. I went to meet Bobby, he smiled at me and he had his hands on my shoulders. He pulled me closer and smelled my hair. I could see Cody and Ash didn’t like that but I cared less as I took a sip of my coffee. Bobby asked a waiter to get me a fresh pot because my cup was cold. I told Bobby I appreciated that he was being very nice to me and he gave me all of his attention. That’s exactly what I wanted. Anna still seemed to be pissed off at me which I really didn’t care about anymore.
