“No, Marcos. You know I have to work tomorrow.”
I reached into my pocket and brought out a knot that I meant to give her last night. She placed her hands on her hips as I extended it her direction.
“Don’t play with me. Take this shit, baby. You deserve it.” I pushed.
She snatched it out of my hand, rolled her eyes, then smiled.
“Any other questions?” I asked.
“Yeah, just tell me where we are going.” She pleaded one last time.
“I’m glad you are excited. You should be.” I slapped her ass, and she went to pack.
I checked my phone when she left the room to ensure everything was in place. The beauty of living in Michigan, surrounded by the Lakes, was that you were never too far from the water.
Growing up in the inner city, you don’t appreciate it as much as you should. The older I got and the more I travelled, I saw there was so much overlooked that people in the citynever even thought about. Crazy how running drugs up the coast revealed so much to me.
It would all be for her gain. Tonight was our night. One I had been waiting for forever, and I’d be damned if I didn’t deliver. A night full of redemption for me. It was crazy how much I thought about the night that I left all those years ago. That night, I begged her to stay with me when I was just 16, replayed in my mind as I took a seat.
My pulse raced as I stepped up to the hotel attendant. Dyami waited for me in the car. I told her I had it, but to be for real, I didn’t know if I did or not. I heard of other niggas coming up to the Howard Johnson and getting rooms. All they asked for was an ID and cash. I had both, and when I stepped to the front of the line, I held my breath.
I slid my fake ID across the counter, paid the fee, and the attendant slid the key without even looking into my face.
“You got it?” Dyami said when I walked back to the car.
“Yeah, I told you, it wasn’t shit,” I said confidently.
When we got into the room, we were both nervous as shit, but I was determined not to let this opportunity pass me by. This was Dyami, the girl I’d liked for years, and if this was my last day with her, I wanted this.
I locked the door, and she sat on the edge of the bed. I barely had enough courage to do it, and as soon as I turned to her, I made my move. I tried to kiss her. She pressed her lips to mine, but her lips stayed glued tightly together when I wanted to deepen it. She didn’t tell me to stop; in fact, she threw the covers back that were on the bed and climbed in. I took off my shirt and climbed on top of her.
I tried to lift her shirt, but she shook her head no.
“Okay,” I said breathlessly. I rolled off of her, and she bent down and threw her pants out on the other side. I was confused as hell about what she wanted to do next. Like, sit here without pants? My hormones were running wild.
“Come on. I just don’t want you to look.”
Her words hit me like a burst of energy. I threw my pants off at record time.
“You have a condom?” She asked with the covers pulled up to her neck.
“Yes, I got you.”
I grabbed the condom out of my wallet, secured it, and got back on top of her. What she didn’t know was that it was my first time. A lot of chicks threw pussy at me, and the most I had gotten was head. I wanted her to be my first. When I got on top of her, the heat from her was the best thing I’d ever felt in my life! I wasn’t even in yet, and I was moaning like I was a little bitch. She looked into my eyes nervously. When I pushed forward, her body pushed back, and just that little bit of friction made me betray myself. My ass blew it right there.
“Hell nah,” I said aloud. Now that shit was not my proudest moment.
“You ready?” She asked, coming back into the room cheerfully. I told her ass not to change, but she slipped on a different dress. A blue one that accentuated her hips and breasts. She looked so fucking good, I lost my breath momentarily. I know niggas say shit like that all the time, but that quickly she stole my breath.
“Stop it!” She blushed and threw her hand over her face. “Are you ready?” She asked again.
“Yeah, let’s go.”

Dyami
“Oh my God! This is crazy!” I exclaimed with wide eyes.
