Words of Intimacy Part 3

April 2013

Chapter 1

“You’re still a virgin?"

“Damn Leah. You say it like it is a bad thing?" I said taking a sip of my Shirley Temple. "And please be a little louder. China didn't quite hear the news."

“Sorry. I just knew he had to be hitting that. He must be....never mind. I need another drink." Leah said while waving at the waitress.

"What? He must be what? I want to hear this."

Kisha butted in, "Let it go Macy. She's just jealous."

Leah rolled her false green eyes at Kisha, "Jealous? Of what?  A man who has to be cheating on her? Girl, please. Don't look shocked Macy. Ain't no man going to wait around five plus years for you to be 'ready'. It doesn't matter how cute and thin you may be. Well he may wait but he is getting some on the side. A virgin is nothing but a challenge to the male species."

All I could do was laugh. "Yes cute and thin I may be but the rest is not true. Hard to believe but there are some true gentlemen out there and I found one. I love and trust him and that...that…" My text message alert went off.

'THINKING ABOUT YOU. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU TONIGHT. CAN I COME AND GET YOU WHEN YOU ARE DONE?'

'SURE. PRETTY MUCH DONE NOW.'

I continued, "Sorry about that. But like I was saying I love and trust him and that is all that matters."

Sylver said, “Hell if I had a man treating me the way he treats you, I would LET him have a girl on the side. But where's your man Leah?"

"Jail, but he will be getting out soon." Sylver and I laughed. "Whatever. Well since you man is sooo good. Next round is on you.  Excuse me, miss?" She finally flagged down our waitress. She ordered another drink and laughed. "Speaking of Rollins I am surprised he let you slum with us anyway."

"What?!?" Now what was the girl insinuating now.

"We were raised with a plastic spoon and he had a silver spoon. Leftovers in Cool Whip container, us. Actual Tupperware , him. Just saying. Not to mention he usually has a tight leash on what you do. But wait, I figured it out. He must have a small second head."

"What?!?" We all said in sync.

"I mean, think about it. He knows she's a virgin meaning she has nothing to compare it too." They laughed and I rolled my eyes. "But for real, just remember one thing. Whatever you won't do, the next chica will do. Twice.

We sat there laughing and talking as we normally did every so often to catch up on what we missed. We always came to this whole in the wall of a restaurant since high school except for Kisha. She joined our little clique two years ago. Sometimes I did feel like the oddball of the group because I was a virgin especially when they would talk about sex. But I got over that. I really wanted to wait until I was married and Rollins respected that.

'IM OUTSIDE'

"Well ladies as usually it has been fun and educational but I got to go. A real man is waiting for me." I began putting on my jacket.

Sylver looked at me and said, "See ya at home."

Leah added, "Remember what I said. Twice."

I walked outside and saw a handsome young man standing next to a navy blue 2011 Lincoln MKS. Rollins Dante Powers. Rollins wasn't my first boyfriend but he is my first love. He is 6'2 about a good 230 lbs.  31 year old college graduate. His skin is smooth Hershey's milk chocolate. He keeps his hair cut low and his goatee trimmed very nice and professional. He knows how to keep his work life and personal life separate, which is very important to him. Even though i am stubborn, he still tries to take complete care of me. Sometimes it drives me crazy when he tries to pay for everything but i know he means well. His mother was a housewife and I know that's what he really wants me to eventually be. I don't and can't see it happening anytime soon. He doesn't care that I work. It's just that he rather I spend all my money on me than bills. He satisfies me in more ways than one, romantically, mentally, physically and spiritually. Extremely patient for a man considering we have been together for over five years and I am still a virgin.

"Your chariot awaits, Ms. Macy." I stretched on tiptoe to kiss him. I'm only 5'7. He opened my car door for me and helped me inside. Once he was inside, as always, he helped me with my seat belt. "Did you have fun at ghetto hour?"

I punched him in his arm. "Remember one of those 'ghetto girls' is your cousin Kisha? But it was interesting as always."

“Where do you want to go?"

“Let’s go back to your place and watch a movie. Is that ok?"

He started the car and drove off, “Sure, whatever you want to do I am there. You going to spend the night?"

"I don't see why not. I don't work tomorrow. Plus I love spending Sundays with you." I grabbed his hand and held it in my lap.

"Oh good. Well the feeling is mutual." His hand nestled between my thighs giving me a moist feeling in my Secrets. “Thanks for keeping my hand warm. So what was among the topics for discussion tonight? World hunger, homelessness, New York stock exchange, sales at Body Central?"

"Oh ye of not so funny jokes. It’s interesting you should ask. Because you and your other girlfriend was up for discussion."

“MY WHAT!?! Girl, you gonna make me wreck my car." I laughed at his response. "That ain't funny Ms. Macy. Explain. What other girlfriend?"

"Someone was saying that it basically is impossible for an experienced man such as yourself to wait five years for a girl like me to become ready. You have to be getting it from somewhere."

"Wow, and do you believe this nonsense?"

"No baby, I don't. I told them that I love and trust you. I have no worries. I know you better not cheat on me." I responded jokingly.

"Listen and listen well. I have every intention to make you my wife. I do not need, want or see any other women because I have everything I require in you. I love that you're smart, very full of charisma and stubbornness. I love how you don't wear fake hair but rock your own wavy hair. You don't drown yourself in make-up. And that's just a sample of why I love you. Don't ever get it twisted. I don't want anyone else."

"Yes sir." I smiled and rested my eyes the rest of the way there.

We walked into his two floor three bedroom condominium and I took my jacket and shoes off. I turned to him and said, "Where do you want to watch the movie?"

While loosening his tie he said, "We can watch in my bedroom. Go ahead upstairs and I will get us something to drink. Pick a movie and get it started. Please no musicals tonight."

I snickered, “Fine no 'Rent' then. Your lost." I ran up the stairs and put on 'Bruce Almighty'. He loves Jim Carrey movies. His bedroom was decorated by his mother with dark shades of brown and blue. The chocolate brown leather headboard on his California king bed matched the furniture in the sitting area perfectly. The master bathroom was more dominant with shades of navy blue. There was a separate shower and tub. Attached to the bathroom was a huge walk-in closet. He moved all of his things to one half of the closet to make room for me even though I keep refusing to move in. I slipped into one of his Cincinnati Bengals jersey which almost look like a dress on me.

"Damn you even make football sexy." He placed the cups on the nightstand. He crawled slowly onto the bed next to me. I nuzzled closer to him and slid under his arm. He looked at me with a smile. He kissed me softly on my forehead, then moved down to my nose. He paused and stared at me.

Sometimes I hated when he paused. Just kiss me! I couldn't wait any longer so I kissed him. Our tongues danced their own dance. His hands wandered under the jersey and was rubbing my breast on top of my bra. He broke off our kiss and just stared at me. His eyes were asking for permission to go farther. Just then, Leah's voice played in my head, "Twice!" I took a deep breath while I slowly sat up. I removed the jersey carefully and then my bra. Gently, I laid back down next to him.
