Now I've never been the type to step out of my so called 'comfort zone'. I've always been told what's lady like and what was not. This upbringing controlled my life, was my guide for every single thing I did, every single solitary day. From the moment I awoke to the moment I fell asleep, in my empty cold bed, the only company was the romance novels I had read. This little world I faded into, was my only console from a world of so many things I had been deprived of and my gateway to a world of passion and pleasure (These things I truly never experienced).
How old would you think I was? Thirty? Forty? Not quite...try twenty-two. In high school... I didn't even get to go to my prom! My mother told me that prom was nothing but a night based on seniors dancing, drinking, and fucking. But despite that, I snuck out of the house that night to go to a hotel party, from which I had lost my virginity...and it was a horrifying experience but that didn't stop my sexual exploration...I tried and tried until I just gave up about two weeks ago. Sex wasn't good to me, so like any sensible human being...I stop doing what I didn't like.
It was all the same, gentle touches, soft kisses, but whomever touches or kisses aren't anything like what they've been depicted in my stories, or in my wildest dreams. And when I told my best friend, Shawn... he could have sworn I was sick. He'd just touch my s. They take me, yet I hate they way they forehead and snicker at my odd discomfort in my experience.
"Everything you do with a nigga, is garbage, Sid?" He said raising an eyebrow with is murky green eyes staring through me. His posture was nothing less than relaxed as we sat in a booth of some restaurant in the downtown area. Shawn was an incredibly fine looking man of 24, his skin was light but because of athletics, he was tanned by the summer sun, skin bronzed to a cinnamon color. His hair was long enough to braided and the hang time touched the bottom of his neck...and as for his body, Adonis paled in comparison... built from his broad shoulders to his ankles. Just to think this image might have haunted my dreams for many nights but nor did he seem to notice me in such a way. To him I was just Sidney, affectionately known as Sid in his eyes.
"Well," I sighed heavily, wiping my now fogging glasses from the steam coming from my coffee as he gave me this wince. "I don't know what's wrong with me..."
"Tip one," Shawn started taking my coffee away and drinking half of it in a few gulps. "Coffee kills ya, stop drinking' this shit." He laughed, leaning back more with those cat eyes of his staring into my light brown ones through my glasses. "It tastes like mud. Tip two, I don't think it's you that has the problem...it's they dun know how to handle you. Your man's ultimate challenge, the woman that canna be tamed."
"How can it not be me? I've tired all sorts of guys, different ones but I didn't like any of it." I then looked around nervously, hoping no one was listening. "Maybe I should go to my doctor ...or better yet get a psychologist." I said staring at my manicured brown fingers as they came to rest in my lap.
"Yo, Sid my nig...since you feelin' kina shitty. I'm coming over later..." He grinned and shrugged. "I haven't hanged wit cha in while, maybe we can watch some movies or somethin, ya know?" I waved him off as and let my elbows fall on the table.
"Whateva..." I knew how this was gonna go...me and him were most likely going to watch music video's while he was drooling over the video girls.
~Later on at about 9:30pm~
I was watching T.V. on the couch when my doorbell rung, and I sighed as I got up to answer it. On my doorstep stood Shawn, in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and I felt so bummy in my baggy gray jogging suit. One look at me, made him shudder in disgust and he shook his head.
"Well Goddamn, I see why you got sex problems and shit...you in that will make a nigga's dick soft." He then gave me the second glance; it didn't do a thing for my curves but cover them and make me look puffy. "Oh hell naw, take that off." Oh another thing about Shawn, he had a cussing problem since we were eleven. I simply walked upstairs as he followed close behind... he hated when I looked a hot mess around him.
When we got to my room, he automatically darted for my dresser drawer and started to pull out random pairs of pajamas until he came to a black tank top and a black thong with pink pinstripes as he mumbled about how my puffy gray jogging suit should have been burned.
"No! I can't wear that... it's underwear!" I said as his now bluish green eyes looked like he was trying to burn off my clothes.
