I moved out from under my parents roof and into the inner city of Boston where I was a student at the University of Boston.
It was still early in the semester of my first year of college so I did not know many people, but I have made a few friends around the campus.
It was a thursday night and one of the first major college parties of the school year. I had a few drinks and was really urging for a cigarette. I saw a girl who was in a couple of my classes outside on the balcony smoking a cigarette. I approached her and introduced myself and she told me her name was Ashley and she was from Rhode Island.
I then asked "Ashley, do you mind if I bum a cigarette please?"
Ashley responded "Yes, sure no problem at all" and sure enough she handed me a Marlboro light.
I lit my cigarette, tilted my head up and blew a nice cone of smoke into the air.
Ashley stared at me and said "You're one sexy smoker."
I smiled back to her and replied "Thanks".
We then made some small talk about our classes together and our interests as well while we both enjoyed our cigarettes.
From that moment on Ashley and I became fast friends and we realized we had much in common.
A couple of days had passed and Ashley texted me early in the day and invited me over to her place later tonight to have a girls night and drink some wine.
That night I brought over some wine and we hung out on her balcony drinking wine and smoking cigarettes.
After our second glass of wine and 3rd cigarette of the night I realized Ashley was very open about her sexuality. When the conversation got around to what type of men we were attracted to, Ashley came right out and said "I pretty much only date black men" with a smirk on her face and we both giggled.
She then asks me "Natalia, have you ever been with a black man?" She then took a drag of her cigarette waiting for my response.
I took a drag from my Marlboro light and blew out a stream of smoke and I answered to her surprise "Yes, I been with one black guy and I loved it."
She was very excited to hear that and she gave me a high five and said "I wouldn't have ever expected that. You don't seem like the type!"
I laughed and agreed blowing my smoke into the air after another drag.
I then asked her "So Ashley, how many men have you slept with?"
Ashley replies "Eight with all but two being black." Then she asked "What about you?"
I responded "Six only one being black."
Ashley then asked me "Why have you only slept with one black guy?"
I replied "I was always to nervous what people would think, but I have always thought black men were more attractive and better in bed with my one and only experience with a black man."
Ashley then replies "We have to find you another black guy!"
I replied "I wouldn't object" and we both laughed.
About ten minutes pass by and the night was still young. Ashley randomly asked me "Do you want me to invite a couple of cute black guys I know over?"
I reply "Sure, but I'm not guaranteeing I'm sleeping with him tonight" Ashley replied "That's fine, but I probably will be getting laid!"
