It was night time, and the air was cool.
Sherica was looking out her living room window towards Mac Fulton's house where all the windows were dark, except a glow in the living room. The driveway was empty. He wasn't home yet.
Sherica crossed her arms over her chest and bit her lip.
She was dressed for bed. She was wearing an old faded white t-shirt and gym shorts from high school.
But despite a long day of class and a marathon workout in the gym, she was wide awake.
She just couldn't understand what was happening to her.
A week ago, she had lost her temper, and confronted her neighbor because she thought he was taking down the BLM sign she had put in her yard.
Her boyfriend had just texted her he had lost his part time job, and she would need to cover the rent until he could find a new one.
Then, she saw the sign was gone, and she went off on Mac.
She had expected some kind of argument. Craved one, actually. She needed to lash out at someone, and Mac fit the bill.
But then he dragged her into his house, and fucked her brains out on his kitchen table.
She told him to stop at first, but then, well...
Sherica heard the sound of the playstation starting up and turned to see her boyfriend sitting down on the couch.
He gets fired from his job, and instead of getting another, or better yet, working on his degree, he's playing a fucking video game like a little boy, she thought angrily.
Stop it.
What is wrong with me?
Why am I more angry with him, then I am with Mac?
Mac held you down, he fingered you and then fucked you senseless. If there's a monster in this story, you shouldn't have to look far.
I begged him to stop.
And then, you beg him to keep going, she thought with a blush.
All week Sherica felt at war with herself. She was a practical woman. She didn't act crazy.
So why was she feeling this way?
It's not as if he hurt me, she reasoned. Sure, I was sore for days after, but that's what happens when you only date one guy and he's got a small dick.
You need to stop it, the rational side of her argued. He is a monster. He made you have sex with him. You need to report him to the police and have him arrested.
Arrest him? Who is going to believe me? The police?
Besides, what was she going to tell them? Yes, I went to his house, and knocked on his door. What was I wearing? Oh, just my favorite sexy crop top and booty shorts, why do you ask? Why yes, he made me orgasm. He made me cum so many times I lost count. Easily the best fucking of my life. 10/10. Would DEFINITELY recommend.
Was any cop gonna believe her?
Would any jury?
Would anyone?
Sherica imagined it all coming out. The sordid details, what she had been wearing, being forced to relive what had happened. It was worse than humiliating. It was cruel.
And there was the irrational part of her. Usually, a minor irritation in her ordered, highly structured life. Usually, she pictured this part of her mind as a wild, drunk bitch making loud noises in the back of the college bar in her mind. That side of her made the catty remarks that passed through Sherica's mind, while she smiled, nodded, and bit her tongue.
Since Mac, however, that little voice had gotten a hell of a lot louder. And she was driving her crazy.
"Call the cops?" Miss. Irrational asked, slurring her speech. "Call the president! Because that man deserves a medal, baby girl. Mac Fulton showed you what you've been missing your whole life and didn't know it."
"The man is a criminal," Ms. Rational replied. "He took away your agency. He took away your ability to choose."
Ms. Rational was her bespectacled common sense, talking her through her life. She's the sort of woman who wore only sweaters, owned a cat, and didn't go to libraries because she found them too stimulating.
In the college bar of her mind, Miss. Irrational downed a cocktail and ordered another.
"He took all that away, sure. Butttttt Did he beat you? Did he film it and put it online? Did he threaten you? What he did was he shut this boring ass bitch up long enough for you to actually enjoy yourself for once."
Ms. Rational, who always drank her club soda through a straw, replied, "Any loss of control opens you up to weakness. Then comes pain. Followed by abandonment. And then you will be alone. No family, no community, no Treshaun. What if you're pregnant? What then? Is anyone going to stand by you when they find out you're carrying a white man's child? Not your family. Your friends in the movement won't help. And as soon as Tre sees that the child is not his, he will leave you. And there you are, exactly what the world always expected you to be."
Miss. Irrational took this opportunity to fall off her stool at the bar laughing.
"You're already weak," she exclaimed, climbing back to her feet. "You're so wound up being what everyone else wants you to be that you ain't hardly living."
"You're not seriously thinking of going back to him?"
"He left that door open. Last time was.. complicated and scary. But if you go back now it's your choice. Your decision. Besides, it ain't like you've been getting much action around here."
Sherica cast another glare at her boyfriend, but he was pounding away at the controller, off in his own little world.
"Treshaun is stable."
"Treshaun is fucking boring. He is boring, broke, and he ain't got no future. You've both seen it. That man's head has been in the clouds so long he ain't no use to anyone. For anything. Let me prove it. Did you tell Tre about what happened between you and Mac?"
"Don't be silly," Ms. Rational scoffed. "It would've been foolish to tell Tre. He wouldn't have been able to help us."
Mac would have killed him. Sherica thought darkly.
"Exactly," Miss. Irrational shouted, clapping her hands together as she spoke. "You didn't tell the one man who should always protect you, because he was fucking useless."
For the first time, Ms. Rational didn't have a reply ready.
Miss. Irrational came over to their end of the bar, and sat down, leaning forward.
"I'm saying, Mac gave you a taste of what other girls always be talking about. Ain't you ever wondered why you never have stories like that? No wild adventures? No reckless mistakes? No secrets we'll take to the grave?"
She paused and gave them a mischievous grin. "It was good, wasn't it?"
It wasn't good, it was great. Sherica thought.
"It was exceptional," Ms. Rational admitted. "But what if she gets pregnant?"
"Then she'll deal with it. The way she always had, by making choices. It's one decision she has to make for herself. Though girl, you definitely need to get on the pill, or IUD or something because that man ain't the sort that wears rubbers."
Sherica felt it there. The dull ache between her legs. It had been there since she walked out of Mac's kitchen.
Sherica closed her eyes, gently rocking back and forth on her heels at the window.
She could feel him taking her in his arms and kissing her.
That kiss was better than the sex she had with her boyfriend. Never before had she felt so connected with a man.
She sighed quietly, as she moved back and forth. She could feel their rhythm in that hot, stifling kitchen. She could feel him inside her, fucking her, taking her. Cumming inside her.
She opened her eyes. She needed to stop.
This was really getting out of hand. She could see her nipples through her shirt in the reflection in the window.
Sherica had never cheated on Treshaun before. She'd thought about it. And she had plenty of opportunities.
Guy friends from high school and college, classmates, even Tre's own friends took their shot. Sometimes when they would go out to a club with friends, she'd have to pry the hands of other guys off her tits or her ass or her inner thighs and yell in their ear I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!
She had never acted on it though. Never.
Last time it wasn't her choice. She had an excuse. But could she really go through with this? With Mac of all people? An older white guy?
She had never found white men attractive. It had been made clear to her from a young age that she wasn't supposed to find white men attractive. Those were the colonizers. They were interested in one thing when it came to black girls.
Colonizing.
But she had thought about plenty of white celebrities over the years when she touched herself. Somehow they seemed safe, far away, non-threatening.
