Stepping into Black Mike's Records & CD's, the petite black woman did her best to keep a low profile, wearing large black shades, and a dark olive-colored knee-length raincoat. However, the few customers who did look up after hearing the small bell connected to the door mark someone's entry, couldn't help but take notice of the fact that the glasses were expensive Christian Dior's, and that the raincoat was made by Gucci.
Not to mention the body. Even through the slightly shapeless clothes the woman was wearing, it was obvious that she had a remarkable body. Above a pair of firm, fantastic breasts was a mischievous grin and sharp emerald eyes, capped of by a short bob haircut dyed blonde.
After a few minutes, however, any interest in the woman died; there were only two men in the store at the time. One was the owner, and although he was
damn
interested in the piece of ass that just walked into his store, his wife was working with him that day, and he regrettably decided that it wouldn't be worth it to try.
As for the other guy, he was essentially isolated, standing by a secluded listening booth with his back to the door, nodding his head to a beat pounding through surprisingly large headphones. Upon catching sight of him, the young woman appraised him for about 10 minutes, all the while his head never leaving sight of the CD's in front of him, all the while her eyes never leaving him. Quickly nodding to herself, a mischievous grin slowly spread over her face, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, almost the teeth of a predator seeing prey, and she strolled towards him...
It had been a long week for rapper Kimberly Jones. After a year spent in jail for perjury had finally passed, Kim had immediately begun using the coverage that naturally had surrounded her upon her release to rehab her career, which had unsurprisingly had languished while she was in prison. Already she had been interviewed by The Source Magazine, XXL, Vibe, Rolling Stone and Spin Magazine, and was scheduled to appear on "106 & Park" in two days. Looking for a little personal time (which part of her found slightly ironic, considering she had just gotten out of jail), she had dressed as inconspicuously as possible, and just gone walking down the street, and upon noticing the record store, decided on a whim to go in.
For the most part, the interviews had asked the same things: "What are you thinking about now that you're out?" "How do you think that lost year will affect your career in the long run?" "What did you miss the most while you were imprisoned?" By far
that
had been the most common question asked, Kim thought to herself. Usually she gave some sort of generic, reasonable answer; family and friends, basic freedom itself, her favorite junk food. But that wasn't the truth; at least, not the complete truth.
In reality, what Kim had missed the most was getting laid. Oh sure, she had played for the other team a few times while in the joint, just to get by, but Kim had always loved the feeling of having a cock inside her, and going a year without it hadn't changed her opinion of it in any way; in fact, it had only improved it.
I guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder
, Kim chuckled mentally.
But it wasn't just any dick that Kim wanted; it was new dick. Not merely new dick in the sense of dick she hadn't had before, but someone who hadn't spent the last five years of their life getting different pussy everyday. Kim was in her early 30's, just starting to advance towards her sexual peak, and she'd had plenty of time to mull her "situation" recently. Due to her highly sexual image and reputation, most guys she had been with had either been hung like horses, but had absolutely no technique, or were below average but knew tons of tricks. However, instead of trying to focus on pleasing her, they had used their best methods, hoping to impress her. No, she'd settled on a new plan: simply put, she was going to find someone that she approved of, and mold him into the type of lover that she felt she wanted.
That was why she was so surprised when she saw the young man in the back of the record store; she hadn't expected to find an apparently suitable guy so quickly. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, though, she began evaluate him, checking off each of the physical characteristics she had been looking for that the man matched.
He was taller than average, at least 6'1", with caramel-colored skin and a neatly-cropped fade. He was dressed decent; an Asian-themed baggy red shirt and simple baggy blue jeans that hung well off his slim-but-athletic build.
His sneakers are scuffed,
Kim thought, pursing her lips slightly,
but you can't have everything
.
Studying his face, Kim quickly nodded to herself. Growing up on the streets of Brooklyn, she had learned early on to gauge a person based on their face, and she like what she saw. Surprisingly deep eyes sat perched above a slightly smirking mouth, with a full set of lips.
Lips for kissing
, Kim thought. But beyond the features themselves, the
set
of the features attracted her. Intelligence was something she definitely wanted her "protΓ©gΓ©" to possess in large amounts; he would be a quick learner. The smirk, meanwhile, indicated a small streak of cynicism, which she considered good as well; better for him to be a pragmatic idealist than an idealistic pragmatist, if that makes any sense.
Finally, Kim decided, slowly grinning to herself as she began planning out the scenario to get what she wanted. Truthfully, she understood any sort of plan wouldn't be necessary, but she appreciated the mental exercise...
Leaning against the listening booth, Kenoh closed his eyes while the newest MF Doom album roared in his ears. Between school finals and his job; check that,
former
job at Best Buy, it had been a long week, and Kenoh felt like spending the first day of his summer vacation relaxing and hitting his favorite spots, before resigning himself to a potentially long, frustrating job search.
So far, his plans had gone surprisingly well. He'd gotten a calzone from Sal's Pizza, played a couple of pickup games at the b-ball court in the park down the street, spent a couple of hours working on his XBOX Madden 06' franchise (the Tampa Bay Bucs, in case you were wondering), and even hung out and blazed a couple of blunts with his boys, which he hadn't done in damn near two months. Now, he just wanted to check the local record shop and see if there was anything he wanted to pickup before heading back to the crib for the rest of the day.
Which was why he got annoyed when he felt someone tapping on his shoulder.
Probably 'Black Mike'; doesn't this guy have better things to do then bug me,
Kenoh thought, slightly gritting his teeth.
This explains why his jaw slightly dropped when he turned around and, instead of seeing a frowning middle-aged man, was instead confronted by a small, smiling brown bombshell.
"Um, can I help you with something?" Kenoh asked, quickly regaining his wits and flashing the woman a quick but polite grin.
Damn, she's fine! But she looks a little bit familiar; have I seen her before?
Kim smiled even wider; she's caught his reaction, and noted his quick reaction time.
Another plus; so far, he's checking out quite nicely
. "Hi; my name's Kim. I, uh, I saw the cover of the CD you're holding, and it looked interesting; is that guy any good?"
"MF Doom? Oh, hell yeah! He's one of the best guys in the underground; he's like the new Kool Keith; at least, to me." Seeing her eyes widen by a tiny fraction, he began explaining, "Back in the day, there was this group called the Ultramagnetic MC's..."
"I know who UMC is," Kim interrupted, waving her hand in a slightly dismissive manner. Most people didn't know that Kim listened to a large amount of old-school hip-hop, and had always felt that the progressive rap group had never gotten the respect it had deserved. Having expected his musical taste to gravitate more toward "crunk music" type stuff, the fact the young man's tastes reflected her own merely solidified his case in her eyes.
This
, Kim thought,
was exactly what I was looking for. Time to get started.
Meanwhile, Kenoh was busy being stunned beyond all measure. As it happened, the two of them were standing in the middle of the "L" section, and Kim's waving attracted his eyes to the cover of a Lil' Kim CD behind her.
No
... Kenoh thought, his eyes darting from the vision in front of him and the picture behind her.
Am...am I talking to Lil' Kim? Oh shit; I AM talking to Lil' Kim!
Seeing her eyes focus on him, he immediately snapped his eyes back to focus on hers, intent on not messing things up by eyeing her up and down.
Do not,
he told himself,
do NOT screw this up!
"Actually," Kim said, staring him down with her big green eyes, "I was wondering if you could show me a couple of good new CD's. It's been a while since I was able to check out the newer stuff."
"Su β
ahem
β Sure," Kenoh said, clearing his throat. "Just...just follow me..."
