Mandy had gotten what she supposed as was lucky. She hadn't seen or heard from the guy in three weeks. It wasn't until it was damn near one o'clock in the morning and Mandy was making a sugar and cigarillo run. Her neighborhood didn't really go to bed until 3 a.m. and Mandy took advantage and made her way to the 24-hour convenience store. It was a small store but it had almost everything you could want. Mandy opened the second door leading into the main store and began to pick up some snacks. She was craving baked goods, a few fruit danishes and a couple cosmic brownies later she was standing at the register and smiling as the young middle eastern man made small talk and complimented her hair. Mandy almost didn't notice someone coming into the store.
Mandy turned and looked at the guy who made her see fireworks on the 12. Her smile faltered and all the questions from before came up and died down when she saw him smile and bit his bottom lip like he had a secret. He said a greeting and stood behind her. He wanted something from behind the counter and Mandy had just finished her purchase. She was about to leave in a hurry but forgot her change when she turned to get it she was face to chest with the guy and he was holding out a hand with her singles and quarters. Mandy flushed and murmured thanks. When she was about to pull her hand back he asked, "Could I talk to you for a minute?" Mandy just nodded and made her way outside to stand outside of the brick that joined the little store with a barbershop.
Mandy felt silly waiting for what would inevitably be a solicitation. She told herself that she didn't owe him anything. She reached into her bag and pulled out the pack of cigarillos she bought. Mandy smokes weed for her anxiety and smokes tobacco when she's stressed out. Mandy fished through her snacks for the black and blue box of Dutch Master's and went through the motions of lighting up, the familiarity was calming. He came out in time to see Mandy let out a dense cloud of smoke and he had to reign in the desire to kiss her and swallow whatever smoke was in her mouth. Mandy raised her hand in greeting trying to steel her nerves and school her face.
"I haven't seen you around lately," it was a question and would have been casual if he wasn't looking down at Mandy with a want so obvious. Mandy almost wanted to laugh, but couldn't as she thought she probably looked just as needy. "I write books for a living so I've been attached to my laptop and phone for the last 3 weeks hammering out the last of my revisions and finishing the first draft." Her voice didn't shake when she spoke and she took another puff. Mandy thought she had been going outside just enough.
He nodded in understanding and pressed a little closer to Mandy. "What kinds of books do you write?" Mandy was expecting him to ask if she was free if she still got wet thinking about what his mouth and fingers did. "I write adventure novels for a target audience of 15-23-year-olds." It was an odd focus group and really it was something like 18-26 but she found that her books reached people still trying to figure things out and that it sometimes her novels gave people insight. Mandy felt maybe she should ask a couple questions to make things fair, "What do you do?" She still felt steady and spoke clearly. She thanked the tobacco and took another puff, noticing that the ember was dying she put it out on the brick behind her.
"I work in the new warehouse in the industrial district in the human resources department." It was a good job and Mandy wanted to make a joke about heartless human resources but couldn't think of the punchline when his mouth was on hers. It was soft and slow. It felt good and Mandy was going to let him explore with his tongue but thought better of it because she could taste the ash in her mouth as she swallowed her drool. She pulled back and leaned against the brick, "Can we go out?" Mandy was surprised to hear he wanted to do something besides turn her into a puddle. She looked up at him and was met with soft brown eyes longing but not as lustful. She smiled and agreed. They had set a date and Mandy waited until she got a block away before she started to dance. His name was Amaray and Mandy was glowing.
After days of text messages being exchanged and heavy hints about what they could be doing in equal measure from Amaray and herself, Mandy set about pampering herself and making sure to look as good as she felt. Mandy thought of the way his fingers ran up the lips of her pussy. She wanted to feel his heat directly and tried not to think of his tongue when she shaved her mound. She touched the smooth skin of her pussy after she finished and could barely stop herself from leaving the bathroom to masturbate.
Their date was a little awkward as Mandy tried not to ramble about mythology and the best way to make homemade desserts. Amaray did his best not be obvious in the way he looked at her outfit. Mandy was wearing a black tank top dress. It was form fitting and Mandy's bust was ample and making it hard for their server as well. The poor kid could barely sustain eye contact when Mandy would move in a way that made her chest bounce. Amaray assumed she didn't know what she was doing until they got a free dessert to take home and Mandy made the offhand comment that, they would have gotten double the dessert if Mandy had been wearing blue. Amaray laughed and thought he was right to ask her out on a date, Mandy was fun if a little zealous about baking and probably knew more about the wait staff at her favorite restaurant than was appropriate .
Amaray walked Mandy to the townhouse she shared with her roommates. His mouth felt warm against hers. Mandy's head was swimming and she wanted more. "If you want you can come in and we could eat dessert." Amaray couldn't turn that around because Mandy had her palm pressed to his crotch and when his dick twitched at her invitation she gave it a firm squeeze and stroke. He nodded and followed behind Mandy as they made their way up the steps and into the townhouse. The house was mostly dark with the exception of a few familiar sounds Mandy knew to be her roommates in their respective rooms.
Amaray was surprised to see that Mandy's room was half an office, with a writer's desk that had a comfortable slant in it for those that leaned forward, a bookshelf to the far right of the room with books everywhere. The other half was all bedroom, a huge bed on the other side of the room covered in pillows and made neatly. Her room smelled like old books and eucalyptus candles. Amaray felt comfortable immediately after entering. Mandy told him he could sit on the bed while she went to go get drinks.
As Mandy closed the door behind her she was met with the familiar figure of her roommate walking towards her. Mandy reached out and grabbed his hand, "I am gonna get laid" Mandy whispered it just loud enough for her friend to hear, he smiled and said, "Don't hurt him. " Mandy had a look on her face that said, 'I can't promise anything'.
