In Pursuit of a Love Connection

by Shanika Patrice

  When she saw Lamont standing there, towering over, her loOKing handsome in his brown leather jacket with blue jeans, she could not help but to smile. He was even more handsome in person. Lamont must have been pleased with what he saw, which was evident by the lick of his lips before a smile widened across his face.

  “Well hello, Mr. Weaver,” Gabby said, dropping the phone from her ear and disconnecting the call.

  “Hello, beautiful. How are you?” Lamont stepped inside opening his arms waiting for Gabby to embrace him. “Finally, we meet.”

  “Yes, we do.”

  Gabby took in the scent of Lamont’s cologne as he sat down on the bed, asking her about her drive there and other small talk. It had been a long time since she was this close to a good smelling man like this.

  Gabby’s last relationship was a couple of years back. In her hometown the number of single women outweighed the single men by quite a wide margin, so that made dates far and few in between. That is why it didn’t take much for Gabby to give in to the idea of internet dating.

  As she spoke with Lamont telling her about the day, she felt somewhat shy and nervous, especially as he looked at her while obviously imagining her curvy figure underneath her new dress. As they continued chatting, she began to warm up to him and was as comfortable as she usually was with him via the telephone or Internet. Before Gabby knew it, an hour had almost passed and they were sitting close to one another on the bed as if they were in for the evening.

  “So, what is the plan for tonight? Where are we having dinner, or is it a surprise?” Gabby asked with a grin as the thought of an adventurous evening with Lamont almost made her giddy.

  He had been talking about all these ideas for her first visit, and she remembered he mentioned planning to show her a night out on the town.

  “Well I was thinking, baby, you’ve had that long drive and you’re probably a little tired. I did a lot of running earlier myself today—why don’t we just have some takeout here tonight and order some movies? Are you alright with that?” Lamont asked as he gently rubbed Gabby’s knee, which was peeking from under her dress.

  “Yeah, that’s cool,” Gabby responded but she was a bit disappointed considering she had gotten her hopes up about these plans Lamont had supposedly put together, not to mention she had bought her dress for this occasion and now was only going to show it off in a hotel room.

  She brushed off the hint of disappointment she was feeling and forced a smile.

  “So I was thinking this, baby. I know I said I would take care of everything so you wouldn’t have to spend any money since you drove here to me. I ended up having to pay for the room due to it being such a busy weekend here, so I don’t have as much money as I planned. That’s one reason I was suggesting takeout for tonight—do you mind covering us tonight for dinner and then I’ll take care of everything for Saturday?”

  The second hint of disappointment was hard for her to push away as quickly, and it must have shown across her face.

  “Baby, I’m sorry. I promise I’ll make it up to you,” Lamont added as he grabbed Gabby’s hand and began to kiss the outside of it.

  “Oh sure, I understand. It’s not a problem,” Gabby recovered and forced on another smile.

  “Are you sure?”

  “Yes, of course. What do you have a taste for? What’s near?”

  As Lamont went down a list of nearby restaurants in the area, Gabby noticed that the places he named were mainly indoor dining restaurants that were not necessarily cheap once she paid for both of their orders. Luckily, she had brought enough money for the trip just in case of any emergencies, but she wasn’t expecting this to be the emergency she’d be spending her money on.

  They finally decided on takeout from Chili’s, with Lamont offering to drive over to pick up the food, which he ordered over the phone. Gabby agreed and dug in her purse for a few $20 bills to give to Lamont to cover their meals that evening.

  “Thanks, baby—I’ll be back shortly,” Lamont said with a smile before heading out the door.

  While he was out, Gabby decided to text her mom and quickly call Laverne.

  “Girl! I’ve been waiting for you to call or text or something. Are you there? Have you met him?”

  “Yes, I’m here and yes I’ve met him. He’s gone to pick up dinner—we’re having a romantic dinner inside tonight.”

  Gabby wanted to initially fill Laverne in on her uneasiness and disappointment in how things were starting to progress so far, but with Laverne’s excitement she decided against it. Maybe she was making a big deal of this, Gabby thought to herself as Laverne asked question after question about Lamont. She filled her friend in on how much she was enjoying the conversation and time with Lamont, which was the truth.

  “Are you ready to have the dust knocked off of it tonight? I can’t wait to hear about it!”

  “Laverne, you are crazy. But I can’t wait to tell you about it, either!”

  They both howled with laughter. Gabby was glad she had called her sister-friend because she was feeling better and the doubts she was having had subsided.

  “I better get off this phone—he should be back soon, but I promise I will call you as soon as I return. Hopefully, I’ll get to give you a report about Pretty Floyd too,” Gabby said getting ready to end the call.

  “Yes, please do. Love you, girl! And please, enjoy yourself,” Laverne responded.

  “Love you back!”

  Lamont arrived back to the room with the food about 40 minutes later. He also had some drinks in tow, and a delectable chocolate dessert large enough for the both of them to share. Gabby had set up the round table in the corner of the room with candles, trying her best to make it as romantic as possible.

  They decided on watching a comedy, an Adam Sandler movie since he was a favorite of both of them. They sat at the table enjoying the food, the movie and one another’s company. By the time the movie had finished, they were stretched out on the queen-sized bed propped up on pillows almost sleep.

  “I’ll be back,” Gabby said to Lamont before she got off the bed and headed toward the closet, grabbing her overnight bag and then going into the bathroom.

  She had also bought a cute little lavender nightie that was perfect for lounging around in, but also offered a bit of sexiness to it. Gabby decided the time was now to change into that nightie and let nature take its course from there. It was her invitation to Lamont to make his move.

  After checking herself in the mirror—as well as doing a quick coochie check to make sure she was still fresh down there—Gabby stepped out of the bedroom to find, surprisingly, that Lamont had also decided to get comfortable as well.

  He lay on top of the bed in nothing but his black briefs, which appeared to fit quite snug; she could see every bulge and extension clearly and that made her say a silent ‘Thank you!’ in her head.

  “Wow, you look so sexy and beautiful, baby,” Lamont said as he moved over enough, inviting Gabby to lay back down closely beside him.

  “Thank you. You don’t look so bad yourself,” Gabby responded as she gave Lamont a once-over before laying on her back, allowing Lamont to sit slightly propped up over her as he lightly caressed her face.

  “So, umm, do you want to watch another movie?”

  “No baby, I can sit up here and just watch you the rest of the night.”

  This response from Gabby made her warm inside and she found herself starting to get turned on by the intense way that Lamont stared down at her.

  “Do me a favor?” Lamont asked.

  “What’s the favor?” Gabby asked wondering what he had going through his mind.

  “Close your eyes for me…please?”

  Gabby didn’t even hesitate as she closed her eyes and lay there, waiting to see what Lamont was about to do. Within seconds she could feel his breath against her lips, followed by the soft touch of his juicy lips brushing up against hers. She responded back, allowing her lips to slightly part, letting Lamo
nt ease his tongue in her mouth. They were both taken into each other’s kissing skills as they shared their first kiss.

  “Wow, I love the way you kiss,” Lamont stopped to compliment Gabby as she smiled, now even more turned on and ready for more. “Can I do something else?”

  “Yeah, go ahead,” Gabby practically dared him as she waited anxiously to see what was next.

  With Gabby lying on her back, her bountiful breasts practically seeped out of the cups of her nightie. Lamont took it upon himself to gently pull down one of the cups enough to expose her nipple, which was already hard and ready for Lamont to tease. He smiled as he took in the view of her beautiful brown breasts, at the way they jiggled with each tiny movement he made as he leaned in forward to taste and suck on her dark brown nipples.

  Gabby lightly moaned with pleasure as Lamont used his free hand to grab and caress her other cupped breast, making it harden under his fingers with each touch and flicker. As she started to get more into it, Lamont slowly pulled away again.

  “Baby, you have some beautiful breasts. Your areolas are so enticing.”

  “Thanks, babe,” Gabby managed to say, although she had never received such a compliment before. When she thought about it, she came to the conclusion that maybe the areolas were nice considering, well, she was big in the boob department, but it was still an unexpected compliment she wasn’t sure how to respond to. Gabby just wanted him to quit teasing her with this stop-and-go stuff.

  Lamont leaned back in for a kiss from Gabby, picking up with where he left off, exploring the inside of her mouth. As he continued to kiss her harder, Gabby felt Lamont’s hand move down her stomach and make its way under her nightie. She purposely left her panties off so Lamont could have easy access. It didn’t take him long to insert one of his long, slender fingers inside of her, making her moan as Lamont continued to cover her mouth with his own.

  Gabby could hardly breathe from the intensity of coming close to orgasm from his kiss combined with his touch down below, as he moved in and out. Before she realized it, she had climaxed, which caused Lamont to stop.

  “Did you just…you know?”

  “Oh yes, I did. That’s not a problem, is it?”

  “No, not at all. Wait right here,” Lamont said before easing off the bed searching for his overnight bag.

  Gabby watched as she saw Lamont pull out a couple of condoms. Before he got back on the bed, Lamont pulled down his briefs, allowing them to fall down to his ankles. Gabby was practically speechless with the look of his thick long penis at attention.

  She looked back up in his eyes with a seductive smile, inviting him to do everything he said that he would do to her once they got intimate. As he got closer to her, Gabby remembered how Lamont described in detail how he wanted to eat her pussy first before anything else, and then move to penetrating her with the dick. By this point she would have climaxed a good two times at the least—his words.

  So, needless to say, Gabby had it all in her head what was about to go down, but maybe Lamont forgot. He grabbed her shapely legs and positioned himself right in between them. While he put on the condom, Lamont stared at Gabby deep in her eyes as if trying to get a reaction to his hard penis, which Gabby had to admit was quite enticing.

  “You ready for this dick, baby?” Lamont asked as he positioned himself to enter her even before she could respond.

  “Yea…” she managed to muster before he pulled her into him by her hips and forcefully penetrated her.

  Due to Lamont’s size, the feeling was painful and made her shriek. He didn’t seem to notice because Gabby’s tightness overcame him and caused him to moan out in pleasure. Between the pain and pleasure, Gabby and Lamont got in a rhythm together as the sounds of flesh hitting flesh echoed in the room.

  Gabby’s pain soon began to ease and she found herself becoming turned on by Lamont’s roughness and mutterings as he worked to hit her spot. Gabby realized during the process of their lovemaking that Laverne might have been on to something when she implied that her coochie had tightened back up after not having been used in such a long time.

  The thought almost made her smile, knowing that this was going to be something that she and Laverne would laugh about later when she shared the story, but Lamont’s intensity on busting a nut kind of made it hard for her to smile or show any signs of pleasure on her face. Although the experience was quite intense, their first session only lasted for about a minute before Lamont let out a growl like an animal alerting Gabby that he had come. Then he fell on top of her, exhausted and breathing heavy into her ear about how good her pussy was.

  “Damn baby, it was so good I couldn’t help but bust so quick. You got some good pussy!”

  Gabby just lay there, again, not sure how to respond. Lamont had been throwing some unique compliments her way; compliments that were not so poetic and not in his usual Lamont form or fashion. As Gabby lay there with Lamont practically passed out on top of her—and inside her still—she began to think that maybe she had unhealthy expectations and envisioned something more than she should have.

  Lamont had not necessarily lied to her about anything—outside of the sex part and what he claimed he would and could do. Well, there was him backing out on the plans he supposedly put together for their first night together…but shit happens, right?

  That’s what Gabby did for the rest of that night—she had an internal argument with herself about this feeling she was having and whether it was just an overreaction. Looking back on it later, Gabby wished she would have went with that gut feeling she had, but she overlooked it, and by the second day she found herself growing closer to Lamont.

  Gabby had to admit that she had gotten her hopes up about finding a man in Lamont. When the signs were there that maybe they weren’t as compatible in person as they had seemed to be via telephone and the Internet, she just brushed it off and told herself she needed to give him a chance to prove himself.

  After that first lovemaking session, she and Lamont did get back up to freshen up and watch another movie, this time a horror flick. Lamont dozed off on her several times, finally waking up near the end of the movie.

  “Baby, I’m sorry I keep nodding off. I don’t know why I’m so tired. Wait, yeah I do—I just got done fucking!”

  Gabby just looked at Lamont as he laughed. She began to ponder on if he was an asshole or not, while she forced a smile. Her first mind was to question him about whether he really considered this just ‘fucking’, but she decided against going into such a deep conversation so soon. He must have noticed that her wheels were turning.

  “What’s on your mind, sexy?” Lamont asked her as he leaned in to lick and kiss on her neck.

  “Nothing, I’m just getting a little sleepy now. I think I need to get my beauty rest so I’ll be ready for our day tomorrow. I can’t wait,” Gabby responded, giving Lamont a sincere smile.

  “Good. I’m hoping you enjoy what I have planned. By the way, I have to add, I am just so in awe of you, girl. How good your pussy is. I’ve never been with a thick girl before.”

  Gabby’s smile dropped in an instant as she thought to herself, I know this negro didn’t just say this shit to me.

  “So, when you say thick, you’re referring to my size?” Gabby decided to say aloud.

  “Oh baby, I didn’t mean it as an insult. I guess I’m just saying I’ve been pretty shallow when I’ve dated other females. Not saying they had to look a certain way or anything, but it just happens they have been skinny chicks. But I have to say, being with you…man, that shit was good. That’s all I’m saying.”

  It was a pretty decent cleanup followed by a deep, passionate kiss that Gabby accepted as she took in the thought of making a man see the truth and validity behind the saying that there’s a preference for ‘more cushion for the pushin’.

  “Maybe that’s why so many of them have said I make them bleed because my dick is so big. Turns out they were just too damn skinny!”

  Again, the smile dropped. Gabb
y knew it was time to call it a night and think about how she needed to tell Lamont how to filter his thoughts before he decided to shoot out the shit he was thinking. She gave Lamont one more kiss, said goodnight and turned her back to prepare to fall asleep, allowing him to spoon her. As she dozed off, Lamont flipped channels for a little while and finally turned the television off.

  Gabby had probably been asleep for about 15 minutes when she was awakened by Lamont’s movement and a weird noise. She pretended to be sleep because she didn’t want to be bothered anymore with Lamont tonight.

  What is that damn noise, she thought. Then she realized what it sounded like…

  He isn’t jerking off right next to me, is he?!

  Gabby continued to listen to the noise and was able to place it with the jerky movements that occurred for the next four minutes or so. The heavy breathing from him was the clarification she needed to know that this fool had decided to bust another nut, this time without her, though. Who does that?

  When Gabby awakened the next day, it took her a minute to realize where she was, but when she turned and saw Lamont sleeping peacefully beside her everything from the night before came rushing back into her thoughts.

  Today was a new day, though, and Gabby decided she’d brush off the events of the previous day and have an open and positive mind about what this new day with Lamont would bring. As she stared at him sleeping, she could not help but admire how handsome he was; his creamy chocolate brown skin; his neat mustache and goatee and expressive eyebrows; the high cheekbones and somewhat slanted eyes and dark eyelashes. He definitely looked better in person, but Gabby had to admit she preferred his personality more from a distance.

  As Lamont started shifting and appearing to awake from his slumber, Gabby removed herself from the bed and headed to the bathroom to get freshened up. As she looked at herself in the mirror she thought that she did not look too bad minus the makeup. Gabby was a natural beauty, in fact, but because she had always been battling being a curvaceous girl most of her life, she always made sure she kept her makeup and other enhancing essentials on hand.
