Anthony #5
She was laughing again, and damn if it didn’t have my ass stuck. “Okay, yeah, I get it. Tourists do that a lot and it’s like nails on a chalkboard.”
I motioned between the two of us my smile matching hers. “So you feel me.”
“I do.” Her eyes shifted and I knew immediately what that look was about but I wasn’t going to speak on it. At least not right now. And definitely not until she did. When she stayed quiet I just smiled cause I ain’t have no hard feelings about it.
“I need to get you back home.” I started to pack up the wrappers and containers that we’d eaten off of and looked around for a trashcan.
“Is that it? The end of the day?”
The disappointment in ending our time together was loud but being out here unprotected wasn’t smart. Shit had been cool but as we passed the midnight hour wasn’t shit open but legs and niggas looking for a come up. I wasn’t about to let us be sitting targets or end up on the damn news.
“We packed a hell of a lot into one day. It’s already tomorrow, baybeeh.”
“Is it?”
“It’s close to one.”
She pulled out her phone and shook her head. “That’s crazy that it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long.”
We’d been out here for a good minute because Aphrodite had an aura that made you forget everything but her. I ain’t feel not one degree of the cold talking to this girl for this long but as soon as I said something about leaving her it started to seep into my bones again.
“I know your people looking for you.”
She shifted slightly before she shook her head, tucking her phone back in her pocket. “Nope. Nobody reached out.”
“At all?”
She shrugged as the sadness I’d spent all night erasing was back on her face. “Told you. I could go missing and it wouldn’t be a big deal until I missed practice or something like that.”
“That’s crazy, Aphrodite.”
“That’s life. How you think I had all the time I did to discover all this. I know Jersey even better. Maybe one day I can show you around.”
I stepped toward her and took the bag of trash out of her hand. Our fingers brushed as I did and I curled mine through hers.
“You think you gone shake me that easily? Nah, you definitely not gonna. Just like I let that fake ass Drake at Leo’s know we gone definitely link up again.”
As I spoke the words I was already mapping out how that would happen without shit being awkward. If it weren’t for off-season workouts I would’ve moved my damn flight around tomorrow to stay and hang out.
“Can I have your number?”
Aphrodite shifted again, like it took all her courage to ask me that. Which was wild seeing as though I was a sure thing. But given that she couldn’t tell old boy was hitting on her, maybe she thought my ass was just being friendly.
Definitely not.
“This is a mutual thing so I’m not leaving here without yours. Nothing I said to your lil fan back there was lip service.”
Her face lit up and she dipped her head, trying to hide her smile. “Cool.”
“I know shit has changed some in this city so we still hailing cabs or are we doing ride shares? The subway was cool or whatever but I ain’t trusting that shit after dark. Call me scary, cautious or whatever but we not about to —”
“Umm…what about your hotel?”
“Excuse me?” Now my ass was the one that was shocked. Lil baybeeh was really being bold right now and I fucked with it.
“Am I not doing this right?”
She got this frustrated look on her face like she’d been plotting on my ass this whole time. Damn, had she been planning to get some dick and was softening me up by taking me around the city? Had to admit if she was it was smooth as hell cause I didn’t suspect a damn thing.
“Nah, I know what you’re thinking but contrary to what you think about football players I’m not somebody that’s just passing out dick.”
“And what does that mean?”
“Is this something you’re doing just as another fuck you to your father?
Cause I’m not trying to be a notch on somebody’s bedpost just so that you can throw it in his face.
I don’t want to be somebody you fuck out of rebellion and then run back to the program later on after you’ve fucked with my feelings. ”
“You mean the way you’ve done with people before.”
Her words were sharp but I wasn’t going to be offended by the truth of my past.
“I’ll take that. Because back then I was young and dumb and definitely full of cum.
And absolutely should’ve been better than I was.
But now? I got a fully formed frontal lobe so I’m a lot older and wiser at twenty-six than I was at sixteen.
I know the damage that messing with somebody’s heart can bring. ”
“You sound like you’re speaking from experience.”
I tugged her hand toward the trashcan so I could drop this bag off and get us somewhere safe and warm. “I got a mama that was so eager to run after a no-good nigga that she would let her sons die in the water to make him happy. So yeah, I know a thing or two about it.”
“And yet you still followed their path?” My admitted hypocrisy seemed to bother her but I had no issue clearing up my words.
“And did an about-face when I realized that I could make some woman as crazy about me as my mother is for my father. And I didn’t want that, for her or for me. Didn’t want the weight of that hanging on my soul or my conscience or my future. Because karma will always swing back around for her due.”
“This isn’t about me trying to rebel against my dad. I just like the vibe that we have going on and I hate for it to end because…”
I pulled her to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. I did the same with mine before looking down into her face.
“Because what? You don’t think that we gone ever see each other again? Ain’t shit we gotta rush, Aphrodite. We vibing and we can leave it at that without issue.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
“You trying to do the walk of shame early in the morning in New York?”
“I have clothes.”
I looked at her again wondering if I’d missed signs that this girl was an undercover freak. “You carry a ho bag?”
“A what?”
“Never mind. Why do you have spare clothes in your bag?”
She’d been carrying that big-ass tote bag like it wasn’t shit on her shoulder all night. I thought it was just something women up here did.
“Because being at home can be stressful and if I know shit is too hot there then I will stay out. It can happen at any moment.”
“Damn, your people really like that? I mean I don’t doubt it because your words feel familiar as hell to how I grew up. Walking on eggshells can be more traumatizing than somebody physically putting hands on you.”
“So you understand.”
“I do. Before I can make shit right you gotta tell me how we can get back to my hotel from here. I’m lost, lil baybeeh. Help me out.”
She smiled and pullout her phone again before bringing up the iRide app.
“Where are you staying?”
I pressed my lips to the inside of her thigh and felt her shivering with anticipation. The scent of her pussy was calling me and I didn’t have any patience to wait.
I wasn’t even sure how we got to her being half naked on my bed but I damn sure wasn’t about to ask anymore questions after she gave me her yes.
We’d taken the ride back to the Warren Hotel on the lower end of Central Park.
The car hadn’t taken long to get to us at all and the thirty-minute ride was the two of us holding hands in the backseat talking about damn near everything but what we might be about to get into.
We made quick work through the large front patio and barely noticed the Neo-Italian Renaissance facade of the hotel as we went through the lobby.
I was so thankful that we got a discount at this hotel chain because Antwan and I both reserved suites.
I wasn’t sure how far things were going to go with the two of us but I knew I had enough space so that he wouldn’t be able to hear what the hell was going on.
I’d text him as soon as I got back to let him know shit was good and he gave me a thumbs up and told me to leave him the fuck alone cause he was on the phone with his wife.
Freaky asses.
We’d been talking and then the next minute her hand was on my dick and I was pulling her fleece-lined leggings down. Part of me wished I would’ve had time to wash the day off of me but I wasn’t going to pass up sampling this pretty ass pussy for anything.
Aphrodite’s long golden legs were smooth and her pussy was perfectly waxed, with hair still on top.
I flattened my tongue and flicked it quickly over her clit, tempting it to come out of hiding.
With the way she kept gripping the sheets and damn near jumping off the bed, I was sure it had to have been a minute since she had been pleasured.
“You gone have to tell me when it feels good to you, baybeeh.”
“It feels good.” The words rushed out of her mouth quickly and if I weren’t so damn hard I would’ve found this humorous.
I gripped under her thighs pulling her further down the bed and she draped her legs over my head. When my lips suctioned around her clit her hands gripped my scalp through my braids. Her thighs squeezed and my tongue delved deep into her juicy core and I hummed at how wet she already was.
My fingers started to play, strumming that spot just behind her clit as my tongue flickered over it. That was the move because her body seized and she was damn near pulling my hair from my scalp.
“Ant...ony…oh my God!”
I didn’t stop until I felt her flood my fingers and her walls stopped pulsing. I withdrew them slowly causing her to shiver before I cleaned them off in my mouth. Gotdamn everything about this girl was perfect.
“You good?” I kept my voice low because I didn’t want to shock her as she came down from her orgasm.
Aphrodite nodded slowly but she frowned when she opened her eyes. “Why are you still clothed?”
“This is gone sound crazy but—”
“But what?”
“I want to take a minute before we go there.”
“You say that right after you get finished sucking my soul out through my clit?”
