Soul Cry: The Ten Year Girlfriend (5 page)

Maybe it was time I lived a little. Dated a few guys until I found someone right for me. Had some fun for a change. After all,it's one of the reasons Marquise and I broke up. We both felt like we were too young to be so serious.

I looked back over at Roderick only to find him already looking at me.

* * * *

D
amn. I just knew Katrina was over there running her goddamn mouth. I'd known her since high-school and knew exactly what type of female she was. The very kind I tried to avoid at all costs. Tramp ass. I wonder what the fuck she's over there telling Amina?

I was curious but I wasn't really worried about it. I was more than a little interested in her friend Amina, so she could sit her ass over there and tell her I was a fuckin' serial killer and I was still gonna make her friend love me. She's the one. I know she is.

“ Aye nigga.” Damien said taking a pull of his blunt.

“ Wassup?” I said never taking my eyes off Amina. She was beautiful. About 5'6, dark brown hair that hung past her shoulders with honey blond highlights that framed her face. Her almond shaped eyes were a light brown shade that had me hypnotized. I swear to God I could stare into them forever...and I intended too. Her body had niggas drooling and those tiny ass white shorts weren't helping. I was feeling some type of way about niggas asking who she was and she wasn't even my woman...yet.

“ I seen you talking to ol' girl over there with Katrina. She fine than a muthafucka.” Damien said glancing over at Amina and Katrina who seemed to be deep in conversation.

“ Her name is Amina.” I said doing my best not to look at his ass crazy. Damien was my best friend but he was a nigga too. I didn't want him looking at her either.

“ Well I told Katrina I was gon' pick her ass up tonight. She been on my dick for years. I guess since me and Tasha ain't together no more I'll let her get a hit of this good dick. Besides, I just had her suck my dick in the bathroom.” Damien said laughing.

“ Nigga you sick.” I said busting out laughing.

“ No more than you nigga. I see how you looking at ol' girl over there.”

I glanced over at Amina.

“ Nah nigga, I got plans for that one right there. I'm about to shut her heart down.”

“ Oh SHIT! Not the kid.” Damien said damn near choking on the thick smoke of his blunt. He was shocked to hear Roderick say anything like that in regards to a female. Roderick was notorious for never settling down with any one female. The minute a female thought she had him pinned down, Roderick let that bitch go quick.  The sad thing was that even though females knew this about him,it never stopped them from trying to be the one woman who could make a player change his ways. So to hear Roderick say something like this was more  than shock.

It was a damn near miracle.

I
laid in the bed tossing and turning. I couldn't get thoughts of Roderick out of my head. We'd spent the remainder of our time at the BBQ together. He and his friend Damien joined Katrina and I at our table and we spent the remainder of the  afternoon into early evening laughing and talking. Before leaving we exchanged numbers.  I was already anxious to speak to him but I didn't want to seem too needy and call him.

I also couldn't help thinking about what Katrina said. If women threw themselves at him the way she said,would he actually call or was my number one of many he'd taken tonight? Who was he with after we left the BBQ?
He's not going to call
, I thought turning onto my back closing my eye.

Moments later my bedroom door burst open and my bedroom light was on. I quickly raised my hand to my eyes to shield them from the sudden bright light.

“ How do I look girl? Damien will be here in a minute.” Katrina said grinning from ear to ear as she walked over to my full length mirror.

I raised myself up to my elbows and looked at her.

“ You look good. Put on some bigger earrings though.” I said laying back.

“ Katrina do you think he's going to call me?”

“ Who Roderick? Girl please! I know you ain't in here pouting over that nigga! You better not be if you know like I know. Roderick Thomas does him all day,every day. So don't let whatever game he was kickin' tonight leave you fucked up!” Katrina said posing in the mirror and twisting to make sure her invisible ass was sitting up high in her skin tight mini dress.

“ I know. You're right.” I sighed.

“ Look, you know you can come with us tonight. We ain’t doing nothing but hittin' the club. You ain't gotta sit in the house all by yourself. I highly doubt Damien will mind.” Katrina said as she walked over to my chaise lounge and sat down.

“ Hell no. I refuse to be a third wheel. Besides haven't you been trying to go out with this Damien guy for a long time? You two have fun. I'm not in the mood to be in a loud ass club tonight anyways.” I said stifling a yawn. I was a little tired,it was a beautiful day outside, but the heat was insane, I felt drained.

We both heard the doorbell ring.  Katrina jumped up quickly smoothing the front of her short dress.

“ He's here girl! Don't wait up for me.” she said  closing my bedroom door and flipping off my light as she walked out of the room.

“ Bye! Have fun.” I said laughing. Katrina was a fool.

Katrina walked to the front and opened the door only to find not only Damien but Roderick at the door.

“ Well what's all this?” she said cautiously not letting them in.

“ Well damn sexy,you ready to go?” Damien asked grinning.

“ The three of us?” Katrina asked confused. Hell her friend wasn't tagging along and she didn't want Damien's friend dampening the mood either. She had big plans for Damien. As fine as Roderick was,they'd known each other since high-school and he'd never paid her any attention. Even when she'd low key flirted with him a few times. She was never obvious with her flirting with Roderick though because she didn't want to look like the rest of the females Roderick turned down and played out.

“ Nah. My nigga coming to see your girl. We're leaving, get your shit and let's go. “ Damien said. He looked like he was already irritated with her. Roderick leaned back on the wall not saying a word.
Damn this nigga Roderick is fine
, Katrina thought. Damien was fine  too but Roderick was more of a total package due to his height and build. Damien was a little on the slim side. Not to mention Roderick's pockets were long.

“ Well okay. Let me just tell Amina you're here...,” Katrina said.
Fuck it,I'm ready to go. Besides it ain't like she don't wanna see this nigga anyway. She sittin' her ass in the dark with her lip hanging to her chest waiting on his ass to call.

Roderick pushed away from the wall and walked into the apartment.

“ You ain't gotta tell her nothing. I'ma surprise her. Where is she?” he asked,his voice low and sexy.

“ Umm. Back there,second door on the left.” she said grabbing her purse from the coffee table.

“ Let's go. “ Damien said holding the door open for her and giving Roderick a nod.

“ Holla at you later nigga.”

“ Bet.” Roderick said walking towards the hallway to find Amina.

* * * *

I
thought about just busting up in her bedroom but I decided to play shit cool.  Hell if you could call showing up at her apartment uninvited cool. I wasn't worried about it though. Amina struck me as the shy type so the last thing I wanted to do was scare her. Hell and the type of nigga I could be at times that wouldn't be too hard to do. I rapped on her door a few times before I opened the door. Her room was dark but I could still make out the soft curves of her shape sprawled out on her bed.

“ I'm broke Katrina so don't even try and come in here asking for no money! If it's a real date you don't need to bring any money anyway.” she called out from her bed never turning around.

“ Oh that's how y'all do it huh?” I asked flipping on the light laughing.

“ HUH!” Amina cried out as she quickly jumped from the bed at the sound of my voice. “ Oh my GOD! What are you doing here?” Amina gasped.

“ I missed you already so I decided to come holla at you real quick. That's if you don't mind my company that is.” I said flashing her my most winning smile. “ Are you happy to see me?”

Amina practically jumped from her bed and stood across the room fidgeting, swaying from one thick shapely leg to the other. She couldn't possibly know that those simple movements were driving me crazy. Amina looked like heaven with her thick legs in a pair of boy shorts and tank top. I kicked off my shoes and walked over to her bed making myself comfortable. I grabbed the remote to her wide screen T.V. and made myself comfortable. I could clearly see she had a nice little chaise lounge chair in her room but that damn sure ain't where I intended to end up tonight. So I just laid my ass down where I was ultimately confident I was going to end up anyways. Her bed.

“ Ya' man is thirsty babe. What you got to drink up in here?” I said flipping through her channels.

“ Oh you a bold one I see!” Amina laughing placing her hands on her hips. “ I'll play along with you though. Are you hungry again too?”

I raised my t-shirt up rubbing my hand across my eight pack. Yes eight pack. I knew her eyes were glued to me.

“ Yeah I can eat. I don't want anything you got in your kitchen though. You can feed me later.” I said winking at her. Amina shook her head laughing at me and walked out of her room. A few minutes later she walked back with drinks for the both of us and climbed into bed with me. We began a marathon of out of old school movies she had in her collection and it was a wrap. We threw in New Jack City and Juice. I loved those oldies! Amina said she loved them  as well so we easily passed the time away wrapped in each others arms enjoying each others company.

It wasn't long before my feelings got the best of me and I leaned down to kiss her. I couldn't put my finger on it but from the minute I laid eyes on her earlier in the day I knew I wanted this girl in my life. Amina had everything I wanted in a woman. She was beautiful, even though she was shy I could tell she was confident in herself, she was also funny. After some conversation with her I knew she hadn't been ran through by every other nigga in town. Besides, as soon as she left the BBQ. I ran her name by a few niggas who fell threw from different parts of the city and none of them seemed to know her. That spoke volumes to me. Especially since when I mentioned Katrina they all knew her tramp ass. Eventually,Amina was gonna need to drop Katrina. She wasn't a good look for my woman.

Amina told me she'd been locked down with her little high school boyfriend for a  couple years but that wasn't shit I couldn't deal with. It wouldn't take me long to make her forget she ever knew his ass. I did have some pangs of jealously tugging at my heart that she'd been with someone else but I'd just have to deal with it.

My hands roamed all over her body and before I knew it, I was tugging at those little shorts of hers. I wanted to see all of her. The tiny top she had on was already gone and I eased my head down to suck on her erect nipples. Her breasts were perfect. I loved a woman with sensitive nipples. The more I sucked the wetter she got,grinding on my fingers the way she was I knew she wanted the dick as bad as I wanted to give it to her.

“ Are you gonna be mine Amina?” I whispered into her neck as I rolled on top of her to look into her eyes. Her body molded to mine perfectly.

“ Umm. Well,Roderick it's obvious I'm attracted to you but come on, I'm not going to fool myself. We're moving a little fast.” she said closing her eyes and turning away from me.

I turned her face right back.

“ Look at me Amina. I don't believe in that bullshit that everything has to happen at a certain time. If we want each other that's just what it is. There's something about you that I want and I can tell you right now I want it forever. Not just one time so don't even think about that extra bullshit. Just tell me you're mine and you ain't got to worry about shit else.”

“ Roderick...,”

“ Don't do that Amina. I can see it in your eyes what you want me too.” I stood up from the bed and stripped all my clothes off. I could see her eyes widen as she laid there taking in every inch of my body.

“ This is all yours Amina from this day forward. Just say you want it.”

“ That's all it takes Roderick? Is for a woman to say she wants you?”

I smiled down at her and let out a laugh.“ Nah baby. That's all YOU have to say.”

We stared at each other for what seemed like minutes but I knew only seconds had passed before she finally spoke.

“ I want you Roderick. You better not hurt me.” Amina said softly staring up at me. I climbed back in the bed with her between her thick thighs and slid my dick slowly inside of her.

“ This ain't even your pussy anymore. It belongs to me. “ I said burying myself deeper inside of her as she clutched my back moaning.

* * * *

I
stretched slowly and adjusted my eyes to the darkness of the room. My body felt like every inch of it had been worked over in the best possible way. I turned onto my back smiling and reached for Roderick but only found empty space. I raised to my elbows,looking around the dark room.

The scent of weed filled the air and I could see a slight glow from his blunt. I turned on  my nightstand lamp.

“ Why are you all the way over over there?” I asked.

“ No reason. Just thinking.”

I immediately got nervous. I could only imagine what he must think of me. I hadn't known this man 24hrs and I'd just done things to him my ex-boyfriend of four years had begged me to do to him during our relationship. Did he think I was like this with every guy I met? That was far from the truth.
