Now I don't pretend to know everything about relationships but, I do know that lust and love sometimes do go hand in hand. If you will, just follow me through this little insight that led me to my conclusion. Maybe you'll see where I'm coming from and take my side in all of this...
I was walking through campus on my way to class one day and suddenly out of nowhere I saw her. She was a tall, sexy and slim yellow bone. I just watched this strange figure from far off; I didn't want her to notice me just yet. You know how it is, don't you? The minute something that good looking comes along you wanna look your best before you just happen to be walking by. I took a minute to pull my compact mirror out of my book bag and checked my hair and face. When everything was to my satisfaction, I started to walk in her direction.
Now I know what you're thinking isn't that a little extreme? Not to me, is my answer. I mean if you could have seen her you would be acting the same way. Anyway, instead of walking behind her I cut a path right in front of her and let her bump into me like it was an accident. Yea, I know sounds really sad but still it had to be done. I couldn't just walk right up to this chick and start up a conversation, it just isn't my style. I've never been the one to make the first move I'm still somewhat on the shy side.
"Excuse me," I started, "I guess I wasn't watching where I was going." I said kind of breathless, and then I just had to look up at her face.
"It's not all your fault, I bumped into you. My bad, here let me help you." She apologized while helping me pick up my notebook and Chemistry book.
"Thanks," I said extending my hands out to take them, "I'm Jenniqua."
"Hey, I'm Mase. Here I think you dropped this too," she added handing me my student id.
"Dang I can't afford to lose that, it costs too much to replace. Where did you get the name Mase any way?" I asked her.
"It's short for Maseria, but most people can't say it, so you know?" she shrugged after her explanation.
"Yea, trust me I know how it is; my name gets messed up by people all the time. Oh shit," I said looking at my watch, "I'm gonna be late for class," and I started to take off.
"Say, Jenniqua. What's your number? Maybe we can hook up later," she called out to me with a smile.
"Sure, it's 832-646-1952 and yes, it's my real number," I laughed and made my way to the science building for class adding a small twist in my step for affect.
Now I don't have to tell you that my mind wasn't even concentrating on the lecture that day. All I could think about was Mase and us hooking up later. Damn, she was even sexier close up. I couldn't believe I had given her my phone number like that; I never do anything like that. Well you know what they say, there's always a first time for everything. I guess it was time for me to do something different for a change.
Later on that night while I was attempting to study for tomorrows classes I heard my cell ring. When I saw the strange number I knew it had to be Mase calling me, so, I answered it anxiously.
"Hello," I said.
"Hey, is this Jenniqua?" she asked.
"Yea, Mase right?" I answered loving the sound of her voice on the phone.
"Yea, what you doin right now? Wanna go grab something to eat?" she offered quickly.
"Sure, I could use a study break. It seems like I've been at this for hours," I explained.
"Ok, where do you stay? I'll come and pick you up." She said.
"I'm in the campus apartments, on Riverbend Street. You know where it is?" I asked Mase softly.
"Yea," she started laughing, "I live on campus too. Ain't that a coincidence?"
"Sure is, which building are you in?" I inquired hesitantly.
"I'm an RA over on Sampson Street, the next block over. What's your apartment number Jen? I'll be there in ten minutes ok."
"It's the second building, third floor number 352. I'll see you in ten. Bye Mase." I called out.
"Alright, then cutie be there in a little bit," and she hung up the phone.
I couldn't believe it; she was actually coming over to get me. It's a good thing my room was clean I thought. Now I just had to change and find something else to put on. I quickly went to my closet and found my favorite skirt outfit. Then put lotion on took off my sneakers, and grabbed sandals to show off my manicured toes. Knowing how studs feel about time I quickly changed. Looking into the mirror I brushed my fingers through my naturally curly hair, making sure to put some sheen to it as well. I cleaned my face with some alcohol pads and moisturized it then applied gloss to my lips for a flawless shine and was done.
I took one last look at my reflection and knew with my caramel skin color that I definitely looked great. So, I grabbed my small purse, keys and id of course then went to wait for Mase to arrive. Not a minute too soon there was a knock at the door. I steadied my breathing and walked the short distance to open it looking out the peephole. Even though I didn't have to I asked who it was.
"Who is it?" I almost laughed.
"Mase, I'm here to see Jenniqua." She called out.
So, I casually opened it to let her in. I almost lost it when I took in her appearance. She was wearing some jeans that were slightly hanging on her hips a belt with a huge silver buckle on the front, a fitted short sleeve black Polo shirt trimmed in white; a pair of Prada black and white bowling shows. I could feel my pulse racing a mile a minute and I just knew she could hear my heart pounding in my chest. Nervously, I smiled and looked down while touching my hair then quickly looked back up with a blush on my face. I noticed she was grinning to herself then caught herself.
"Damn, you look good girl." She spoke out on a whistle.
