Ava Chronicles: a Friend

I had this job at a recreation place where customers got to rent our facilities and use them to their desire. We had all types of things on this big expanse of land, we had cabins for people to camp out in, horses and horse trails, tennis courts, volleyball courts, etc. We had a lot and since I grew up with three older brothers I was a smidgen, oh who am I kidding, I am a huge tomboy. I loved sports and the fact that I got to use these facilities whenever they weren't busy was a plus. My coworkers were pretty awesome too. Most of them were guys and few of us were girls, the other two girls that worked here were girly and I think they were here to get some boys and easy money. I wasn't judging because I was here for the money too.

It may sound like I'm hating on the girls but I'm not, I wouldn't say anything about them being here for boys until I saw two of my coworkers going at it in a cabin the I just cleaned with my own bare hands. I left the broom in there and I was on my way to get it when I walked in on them with her on the couch and his skinny little white ass pounding away inside of her.

I couldn't help but laugh because she was slapping his butt with every inward thrust. And the face she made when she saw me there was priceless. He wondered why she stopped her moaning and her slapping and turned to see what she was seeing. I couldn't help but think that this was prime scary movie shit and if I was a killer they would be dead in seconds.

"Shit, Ava turn around damn!" my coworker, Daniel, cursed while trying to cover himself up.

"I'm just here for the broom. Continue or not it's up to you." I said smiling grabbing my wayward broom. As I headed out the door I thought I heard Stephanie say 'wait until she leaves'.

Poor girl was embarrassed. It was ok I wouldn't be if I was her, or maybe I would. She had the ideal body that magazines graced on their covers for the pass millennia. She was about 5'9 with long blonde hair with the aquiline nose cupids bow thin lips with bright blue eyes that said she had every thing you wanted. She was a nice girl but no one I would ever choose to hang out with. See now me, I am the complete opposite of her and not because I'm black. I am short barely pushing 5'2 with wide hips thick thighs and athletic torso with normal sized breasts. Not too small but not too big, I suppose they are just enough for a man who wasn't into big breasts.

It took me a while to become confident about myself because of all the teasing I received when I was younger. But I read something online that said to fake it until you make it and that is what I've been doing all these years and now I am officially a big headed confident girl with low self esteem. I can make anyone believe that I think I'm the shit, especially with my RBF (Resting Bitch Face) syndrome.

While I was in the staff room getting my things someone walked in. "Look Ava I'm sorry that you had to see that" Daniel said.

"I'm sorry I had to see that mess too. Now I'm going to be mentally scarred for the rest of my life and get an expensive ass therapist to stop me from crying in my sleep" I said smiling at him.

He gave me a little push and said, "Shut up".

"Nah man it's cool, every one needs their release every now and again."

"Yeah except you" he said waggling his eyebrows. I don't know how my coworkers found out that I was a virgin but they did. One of them said it was the way I walked, the other said I just look innocent which I know is a lie. Well I don't think I look innocent, maybe it was his nice way of saying that I was naive. I didn't know you could look at someone and tell that they were virginal! What the hell kind of class were they taking that I missed where you can determine someones status? It's obvious I missed that class but I still had knowledge about the goings on in the sexual realm. Plus I never had someone that was attracted to me that made me actually feel the butterflies down under like I read about. David filled a lot of my fantasies but fantasizing is never enough for me.

It just sucks that I can't find someone who wants my virginity when every other girl in the word has penis thrown at them at every turn. I can bide my time but all I know is that the man that I'm waiting for better be the bomb! I need someone who is going to blow my mind and make me think of nobody but them. But hey maybe that's just a fantasy that was created by the media.

Two weeks later I found out that Danny was now dating Stephanie. I guess the romp turned out to be love, who would of thunk. When I found out I decided to ask him about it. He invited me to come over to his place with the guys. The guys and I were huge gamers so we always got together so we can play some games and kick each others assess. While Danny and I were playing mortal kombat I side eyed him saying, "So Stephanie huh?"

He smacked his lips, "Man one day were gettin' busy and she asks me what we are and if we were together and I panicked and said yeah so I guess we're together now"

"Well don't sound so choked up about it" I said being sarcastic.

"I guess she's not even that bad. She's a great lay and she always brings me food so what more can I ask for right?" he says with a sly smile on his face.

"Well as long as you guys are happy" I was sounding a little skeptical because I don't think he really liked her as a person which just galled me. It just bothers me how casual people are about relationships and they don't take them seriously. But whatever floats his boat is all good to me.

While we were playing we decided to get some fresh air so we went outside and saw an acquaintance outside shootings hoops. His name was Matthew and goodness gracious was he fine! He was the only other black kid that I'm use to seeing because the school we go to in this town is predominantly white but there are some specks of color just not many of us are african american.

Matt had to be maybe 5'11 or 6'0 with nice smooth cocoa brown skin with an honest to goodness eight pack. Short cut black hair with deep brown eyes and a killer smile with dimples. Oh I'm a sucker for dimples they make him look so cute I just want to grab his cheeks and pinch him. He sees us walking towards him and he walks to meet us half way and I am basically drooling over his shirtless chest bulging showing off muscles. He was perfectly balanced of muscle, not too much not scrawny and did I mention those dimples.

"Hey Matt, this is Ava, Ava Matt" Danny introduced us since I never really formally met him.

I blushed waving but thank god you couldn't see me blushing, "Hey"

"Hello Ava. So what's going on?" his voice was nice and deep. He was too beautiful to notice anyone like me on a normal basis and he was way out of my league but a girl can dream right?

"We saw you over here shooting and thought maybe we could join" Danny said while our other coworker Michael walked up behind from the house him and Danny were sharing.

"Sure we can play two's to ten. Who's gonna be on my team?" Matt asked.

"I'll take Ava and you can have Michael" Danny said motioning to each of us. I guessed Michael and Matt knew each other all ready because they dapped up and Michael took his shirt off too.

Danny was my teammate for the time being and I think he thought he was doing this to 'save' me but I grew up with three older brothers and I knew my way around a basketball court. I knew my way around damn near every sport out there because I was a tomboy growing up. They didn't know that I knew how to play so they underestimated me because I was girl and I was perfectly fine with that.

Danny pulled me over to the side trying to draw up a game plan. Honestly I drowned him out because I knew what I was doing, I didn't need a plan. While I drowned him out I was looking at him. He was around the same height as Matt but he had black hair that was styled in the way guys find so popular nowadays. He had hazel green eyes with thin lips with a straight nose. He wasn't as toned as Matt was but he wasn't completely scrawny either, he just didn't have that eight pack. I realized I just compared him to Matt and I feel kind of bad because Danny isn't a bad looking guy, in fact he is really handsome but when I look at Matt I drool.

"Ava did you hear anything I said?" he asked irritated.

"Yeah of course, let's play" I said hurrying to position myself so Matt would defend me.

We got the ball first because Danny had the girl on his team. Please, I was about to show them something. I quickly forgot about Matt and his fineness and played them like a tambourine. I made a shot here and there stole a ball from Matt also. Then he started guarding me while I was going to the hole. As I went in for the lay up our bodies rubbed against each other and I felt the hardness of his chest on my side. After I made the shot he was complaining that I hustled them. He was joking of course. After that it was like it was just me and him on the court even when we didn't have the ball.

We would tease each other and foul each other for the fun of it and I thought we were having a lot of fun. Him and Michael made it to ten first but that was because I was better than Danny and he didn't know I was that good. After the game we all went back to Danny's place and got something to eat.

While we were in the kitchen waiting for the pizza to finish up, Matt leaned over the table to talk to me. "You're pretty good, grow up with brothers?" he asked.

Taking a sip of my water I answer yes. He looks down at me with those dimples and says "We should play one day and see who's better."

"I'm pretty sure I'm better but I'll take it easy on you to save your manhood." I say surprising myself with my fantastic quick wit.

"We'll see about that" he says with a cute smile and walks away.

"What the hell was that all about?" Danny asks when Matt leaves.

"What was what about?" I asked hime confused he didn't know what trash talking was.

"You like Matt?" he asks lowering his voice.

"Why?" I get defensive.

"You know he is known as a player right? Don't get mixed in with him, I don't want you getting hurt." You see part of me is happy that he's looking out for me but the other part of me is screaming I'm a grown ass woman you don't have to protect me. I guess my face showed what I was thinking because he quickly added in, "Look I just know how he treats girls and I kinda sorta care about my coworker."

"Awww look at you. I don't even know if I like him, I just know he's pretty to look at but I won't do anything stupid. And plus you don't have a good rep with the ladies either so" I let that hold in the air while I took the pizza out the oven.

"At least I'm up front with my ways" he says under his breath. I don't know why he's acting so weird, he never acted like this when I was interested in one of the customers. Maybe it was because I would be seeing a lot of Matt now that we hung out today. I will never understand men.

"Yeah whatever dude just get us some drinks".

We all ate and bonded and I did my version of flirting with Matt making plans with him to play him one on one. There were plenty of things we had in common and I was planning on taking advantage of that opportunity. He seemed like he was interested in me but Michael invited some other girls over and his attention instantly went to them stomping on my ego. I blew out a defeated sigh and got me some juice and mixed some Malibu in it to hide my disappointment.

I hated when stuff like this happened to me. Now I was the seventh wheel while all the guys had a girl to keep them company. Fuck this! I'm a big girl, I've been through too much shit in my life to let this little occurrence to bring me down. I got up said my goodbyes and jogged my tipsy ass to my apartment about three miles away.

When I made it to my apartment my lungs were on fire and my legs felt like noodles. I stripped my clothes off on my way to the bathroom turning the water on hot until steam filled the spacious bathroom. I sang at the top of my lungs knowing I couldn't sing but it made me feel better while I rubbed exfoliant all over my body. I took a look down at my body and I was mildly pleased with myself. In undergrad I achieved the freshman fifteen then the sophomore sixteen. In short, I gained some weight while I was in school but in my senior year I got a little chubby and I was not going to have that. So I hit the gym and got back in shape. I wasn't skinny and I never will be with my body shape.

I looked it up and I am shaped like a pear. Small at the top and bigger at the bottom. My breasts were a normal 34 C but my hips are wide and I have big ass. So my wearing a small shirt but size eleven jeans sometimes made shopping hard. Sometimes when I was alone I wished I looked like the beautiful girls that got the attention from guys. What did they have that I was obviously lacking? I stopped that thought right in its tracks because I am a black girl and I fucking rock! That is my mantra now that I saw that show on BET.

Shutting off the water I took off my shower cap , dried off and wrapped my robe around me to make a drink. As soon as I passed through the threshold to the kitchen, my doorbell rang. I frowned not knowing who it could be. I opened the door to see Danny standing there with his hand on the frame of the door.

He smiled at me, "expecting someone?"

"What, no? What are you doing here?"

"You left so fast and I was wondering how you got home since I came and picked you up earlier. What's going on?"

He sounded like he was sincere but unfortunately I'm one of those people that are closed off because I know that people don't really care about you or your feelings. They just ask questions like these to appease themselves and make it seem like they are doing their good deed for the day. I knew he didn't really care that deep down my feelings were hurt from being rejected by Matt. He doesn't have to know that around those girls that effortlessly grab attention from men make me feel inadequate, so I gave him the sugar coated answer, "Nothing's wrong. I just needed a shower. I felt sticky, sweaty and stinky from the game".

Obviously he bought it because I'm somewhat of a thespian. "Ok cool. So I have a question."

Letting him in because I figured he wasn't going anywhere any time soon. "What is it Danny boy?" I asked making my way to the fridge to get a bottle of wine.

"So Steph needs a place to stay for a couple of months and I know you have a second vacant room. I was wondering if you would mind if she stayed here with you?"

Ummm that was odd because although I worked with her, I didn't know her very well. Like is she a serial killer or a cereal killer? Oh my gosh what if she left hair in the shower ew. But I couldn't say no. "Why are you asking me and not her? And am I the last resort or something?"

"She doesn't know I'm asking you and yes you are the last resort."

I rolled my eyes and he started whining and begging please. "Damn ok Danny shit but she needs to at least pay something."

He agreed with all my rules and he went back and told her, because a week later I had a roommate. She wasn't so bad as a roommate. She cooked and she cleaned but her and Danny were always having sex. I thought that you got sore from all the exercise? Nope they were at it like bunnies.

Stephanie and I have been living together for a month and we got into somewhat of a routine but one day things didn't go on like they usually did.

The morning started out pretty normal. I got up and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast. I looked out the window and Stephanie's car was gone as usual. After I ate and cleaned up and went to shower the morning away. Since it was my day off I decided to call it a chill day and watch netflix. I couldn't find my game controller so I looked under the couch finding it under there. I had on my robe with just my panties on under it since I knew I was going to be home alone all day. Stephanie usually spent days off with Danny or her girlfriends.

As I get up to turn on my console I hear someone say, "Thanks for the view"

I jump and turn to see Danny walking in with his shirt off and some sweatpants on hanging low on his hips. "Whatever. What are you doing here? And where is your car?"

He plops on the couch next to me, "It's in the shop and Steph said I could hang out here."

"But this isn't her hou- ok it's cool. Let me put some clothes on."

The look he gave me was weird, it was like if he had the powers to remove clothes with his eyes mine would be gone within seconds. "You can stay like that if you'd like."

I walked away feeling weird because he has never shown any interest in me before and now here he was checking me out. I put on some shorts and a cami and I instantly regretted it when I walked out to the living room. I saw his jaw clench when he looked at me and he shifted on the couch. We picked out a suspense movie and I was laying on my side and he decided to lay on my hip as a pillow with his hand wrapped around my thigh.

This was actually normal for us but what made it too intimate was the looks he kept shooting me. It was like he has never seen me before and I was getting annoyed. "What?!" I yelled exasperated.

"What, what." He said trying to act all innocent.

"Dude why do you keep looking at me? Do I have something on my face or do you have something to say?"

"No I just noticed something is all."

See I'm not one to force someone to elaborate. I feel if they had something more to say then they would have said it so all I did was shrug at him and continued to watch the movie. After the movie we got a snack and decided to watch 300 number two. This time I was laying my head in his lap with a pillow while he sat up straight. It was a scene where the two leading characters were having a pretty wild romp in her strategy room and I was getting a little hot from it.

I guess Danny could tell because I felt his hand moving down my side sending shivers through my body. His hand rested on my hip and all of a sudden I was burning up even though it was cool in the apartment. Me being me I moved his hand off of me and he started playing in my hair. Well it started out as playing in my hair but then it moved up to massaging my scalp and it felt like heaven. I let out a satisfied moan and he went completely still. He cleared his throat and lifted my head up and walked away.

He was gone for a while and missed most of the movie. I figured he had to take a call or something. That usually happened when Stephanie called him. They would be on the phone for what felt like hours. He came back and sat on the couch and patted his lap for me to lay down again. Instead I laid my legs across him because maybe I made him feel uncomfortable before. That was a bad idea because he started rubbing on my legs and thighs massaging them. I'm always down for a good massage and his hands were working wonders. It got to a point where we weren't even paying attention to the movie much with him massaging me and me hanging my head back from the good feelings of is machinations.

Things took a turn though. He was getting higher on my thighs and I knew I should have stopped him I really should have but heat started to burn in my cheeks then my down my stomach but it burned hot under his hand and all I could do was pray he would move up or stop himself. I lifted my head up and our eyes met when his hand stilled on my upper thigh. He leaned in and I could've sworn I was saying something but I realized it was just me screaming in my head to stop not actually out loud.

He leaned in and I encouraged him by licking my suddenly parched lips and waited for him to come all the way. His lips met mine and we kissed a passionate kiss. His hand slid up my side to cup my breast and I grabbed hold of his back bringing him closer to me. I could feel his manhood hard against my leg while our kiss became more urgent. He kissed down my neck and stopped to nibble here and there. Right when he was about to move down a little more his phone rang. I think he was going to ignore it until the ringtone let a familiar ring out. It was Stephanie.
