MYA
Danielle. It was always Danielle. Whenever I didn't want her to call, that's when she did and that, like most inopportune times before it, was another time I didn't need her calling. We broke up a while ago and that wasn't gonna change anytime soon so those early in the A.M. calls weren't needed. Then Angel wondered what the hell was going on. First night in my house and already there could have been some unwanted drama that could have scared her away. As I straddled her thighs on one of my kitchen chairs we both stared at my phone next to hers, ringing to Sheryl Crow's "My Favorite Mistake" and lighting up the dark room. Angel looked at the phone while I sunk my head into her right shoulder; I didn't need to see the display.
"Mya," she started, "who's Danielle?"
My favorite mistake,
I thought.
"An ex," I said, forehead still resting on her, "a long forgotten ex."
"Well, with a song like that playing for her I would hope she wasn't a current friend. I would be pissed if that song played for me!"
Angel started to giggle. Something I was stressing about suddenly turned into a simple giggle and the problem was averted. I just knew that her calling then would cause a problem but Angel was just that, an angel about it. She even comforted me at the same time.
"I guess it may be easy for you to forget some people, but from what I just experienced I know that it's hard for anyone to forget you, especially for long."
Damn she was sweet. I was seriously infatuated with that sweetness and it only made me want to be just as sweet with her. Somehow she brought it out of me and because of that alone, I knew she was someone I had to keep around for a while. I've dealt with some bitches and serious hoes in my last few relationships and it always rubbed off in a bad way. I had done some terrible things in my life to various people who either did or didn't deserve it in various degrees and it all stemmed from the women I was involved with. But Angel was different.
From the first time I saw Angel I knew she was different. It was about 5 ½ months ago, apparently only a couple of weeks after she got with Marcus. I saw from the jump that they weren't meant for each other. To start, she has got to be one of the most beautiful Latin women I have ever seen in my life and he has got to be one of the roughest things I've ever seen crawl out of a dumpster. I was still with Danielle then so I didn't run up and try to snatch her from him immediately but I can say that I was tempted, especially after seeing how they were together. He obviously couldn't give her the attention she needed and she seemed too quiet and reserved to complain. I talked with her that day for a little bit just to see where her head was at noticed that she was just the most darling thing in the world. I hadn't been used to that in a woman anymore, actually being genuine and sincere with every word that was said. She came across as so intelligent, yet longing for something more. After that day I was determined to be that more that she needed and I broke up with Danielle a few days later. It's funny now that I think about it. I broke up with Danielle in order to pursue Angel and now I was worried she would fuck it up now that I got her. But Angel just convinced me that it wasn't going to happen with her beautiful giggle. She wondered why I wanted to convert a straight girl instead of just going after another lesbian. It was because she wasn't like any other lesbian I had ever met and I felt we could use her on the team. Besides, Danielle was bi, that didn't count to me.
Angel and I dismissed the call and walked back up to my bed to hold each other until we both passed out. I was content with what happened that night and ending it with her in my arms was a success. We were asleep for about an hour or so when I heard that damn song go off again on my phone from downstairs. Angel didn't wake up, thank God, but I did and it pissed me off. I stormed downstairs and pressed the ignore button on the phone, turned it off and walked back upstairs to finally…fall asleep for the night.
A few weeks had passed and we finally got all of Angels' shit moved in. She may not have been serious about moving in at first but I had been preparing for a while. I paid for her to break her lease on that little apartment she was in and made sure that everything she needed was kept either in storage or had a place in her new home. It's not like she needed much though, I had everything she needed and more. At first I felt like I was overcompensating or trying to do too much like Bette on The L Word when she hooked up with Tina so I slowed down on just showering her with praise and adoration every other second and let her just feel out the whole situation for a moment. It
was
her first lesbian relationship and if I could have it my way, it would be her last relationship with another person, period.
