I always knew there was something different about him: The way his hazel eyes always seemed to see right through me, the way his smile seemed to say 'Let's make love' and 'Let's fuck' all at the same time. I am talking about my boyfriend, Angelo.
I met him through my best friend. Her brother had him over one day watching a football game. I've known my best friend for over ten years, so I considered myself and was considered, part of the family. When the doorbell rang, I took it upon myself to answer it, seeing as though my best friend was making snacks and her brother was making the living room 'Guy Friendly', or so he called it.
When I opened the door, my breath caught in my throat: In front of me stood everything I ever fantasized in a man. He was tall, scratch that, VERY tall, 6'7 or 6'8 was my guess and he was big, by no means fat, he had the perfect build. His hair was kinda messy, but it suited him. He was dressed in a white tank top and jeans. His hazel eyes looked me up and down as he smiled down at me. It took me awhile to realize I was just staring at him dumbly, and that's not attractive.
"Hey," he said, before I could open my mouth to speak. "I'm Angelo, Daniel's friend. He invited me over to watch the game?"
I nodded, opened the door, and stood to the side, allowing him to enter. 'God! Why can't I talk?' I asked myself as he walked past me and joined Daniel in the living room. I went into the kitchen to ask my best friend about Angelo.
"Who is that guy?" I ask her.
"Who? Angelo? He's just one of Daniel's friends, he comes around every now and then to watch a game or something like that," she says, purposely trying to leave out as much as she can to keep me asking questions.
"Why haven't I ever seen him?" I ask her.
"He doesn't come around much, Kya, and you don't either," she answers, rubbing my busy schedule in my face.
"Do you know what he does?" I ask, knowing that I'm prying, but I don't care; this guy was the very essence of sex in the flesh.
"Daniel says that he's some sort of 'entertainer', whatever that means." She said, rolling her eyes.
"HEY, RACHEL! THE GAME'S ABOUT TO START!" Daniel yells, interrupting my questions. Rachel looked at me and shrugged her shoulders, "Do you want to watch the game?".
Now, I normally hate football, there's too many rules and too many ways to score for me, it's always a flag here, a penalty there, losing yards, gaining yards, I never know what's going on. What I did know was that this is a college football game and it was between OU and MIZZOU. What I liked about that football game was that Daniel and Angelo were so wrapped up in it that I could finally get a good look at Angelo. God, he was hot, his shoulders were so broad, his arms so strong, he was so masculine and it drove me wild. Something happened on the game that made the guys yell in celebration, the commentator yelled, "TOUCHDOWN OKLAHOMA!"
Daniel jumped up and shook me, "KYA, DID YOU SEE THAT? HOW COULD YOU NOT BE EXCITED ABOUT THAT PLAY?"
I laughed and pushed him away, "Because I have no idea what I'm watching," I say as he sits back down.
"I do," Rachel says, elbowing me.
I love Rachel, but at that moment, I hated her because Angelo and Daniel both looked at me when she said that. Daniel laughed to my expense, but Angelo smiled and winked at me. His teeth were dazzling white. I loved Rachel again.
Over the next few weeks, we played this game, going over Rachel and Daniel's to flirt and smile. Of course, over time it blossomed into something more: pure lust. There were so many times we would find ways to fool around. I would go to the kitchen for this reason and he would follow for that reason.
