I sucked my teeth and waved her off with my hand. She had started going astrological on me. I didn’t subscribe to that celestial bullshit.
“No…really, Na-Na! He’s a Gemini…you’re a Cancer. It was inevitable!” she shouted. Again, here was when she went valley girl on me. “There was too much sexual energy between you two. I don’t know when Azmir’s last sexual experience was, but yours was so ancient that I didn’t think you’d remember what parts of the body were involved to do it. And why didn’t you suck that big cock?” she demanded with humor.
After a good, laugh at her expense, I said, “It isn’t the time for that, Shelly. I don’t know him like that and certainly didn’t want to give off the wrong impression.”
“Sex is sex, Na-Na! People like you take it too seriously. You two have been waiting to tear each other apart since that night at Cobalt. Why not satisfy every sexual act?” she preached and I wasn’t taken aback. Michelle had her views on sexual conduct and I held my own contrasting beliefs.
“And risk my self-respect with him?” I challenged.
“Trust me…it would have been so great, he would’ve called you Queen of Sheba from that day on!” she giggled to herself.
This is where Michelle and I differed. There are those guys you use for sex to release tension and unleash that freak inside. And then there are those that come around carrying the potential of offering more than a night of ecstasy. Azmir made me feel things that night and brought out things that I didn’t know was possible but I also felt he was more than that one experience.
“Okay, so where does this put you guys?” Michelle eyed me quizzically.
I let out a lungful exhale. I didn’t want to be reminded of that newly arrived and obscure place for us. While I understood there was no commitment between Azmir and me, I certainly didn’t view him as just a magic stick.
“Sex with him doesn’t solidify a relationship, so I guess I’ll continue with life as usual.” I tried to sound convincing, but deep inside I was sulking.
“Just remember—” she attempted before I interrupted.
“Shelly, I know. I’m keeping an open mind.”
She looked at me with a forlorn smile. “You’re going to be alright, girlfriend.” She stroked the side of my face in endearment. She conveniently changed the subject by saying, “I can’t get over the celebrities that were there that night!”
