Take a Chance

“Damn you see a nigga for the first time in damn near a decade and thats the first thing you say?” he asks with a chuckle. “Same ole Mighty Mouse I see.”

“You’re staring,” she says plainly, cocking her head to the side. I can’t help but grin at her bluntness. “Forgive me.” I say but keep my eyes locked with Cassandra’s.

So I wanted to have a place where Black women are catered to.”

My entire body is vibrating, probably at least partially from the liquor, but I also know that a large part of it is because of the girl beside me.

Either you want to go and have a good time, and then ride the man’s dick after, or you don't, it's very simple.”

“You’re staring again.” Cass locks her eyes with mine. “I can’t help it, but I’ll stop if you want me to.”

At those words I realize that she has absolutely no idea. “The girl I had the biggest crush on, for years, happens to be at the same resort as me at the same time, and she takes time to spend time with me and my family. There’s no situation in which I would ever be mad about that Cass,” I say sincerely.

“Because I have always been serious about you Cass, you just never believed me.

and any possibility of me walking away from her disappears.

“Shit Cass, all of this for me?”

WHEW

“I don’t know about you, but I have never felt anything like what I’ve felt these past few days being here with you. Ever. And if this is what it’s like to have you for three days, I’d be an idiot not to fight for more.”
