Aaron
“Maaaaan you and ya girl are a trip! I know her mama and daddy doin’ it but you really down with sharing your girl like that?!” I asked honestly.
Part of me was perfectly fine with just Baby Girl but if I could have her and Angie?!
“To be honest, it was too hard watching her be her flirty self when she wasn’t around me but shutting down when we were alone,” Darius explained. “Like the way she was with you tonight, a few months ago that would’ve bothered the fuck out of me, you and me would be banging, friendship over and she would’ve broken up with me for being jealous. She said that if we couldn’t fully trust each other and be openly honest, she couldn’t date me. Took me a few tries but I’m still working on seeing her with other dudes. But I trust you like a brother. I know you’ll treat Angie right.
“On top of that, there’s this shorty that I’ve been trynna holla at but I didn’t want to break Angie’s heart by cheating on her because I really do love her so I asked her about polyamory. Then I told her about TaMeeka. Angie gave me her blessing to pursue TaMeeka!” Darius finished.
“So you’re really cool with me fuck… um, I mean dating Angie?” I asked for clarification.
The last thing I wanted was to lose my best friend over a girl.
“As long as you respect our boundaries, you have my blessing,” Darius said with an outstretched hand.
“Boundaries? What fucking boundaries?!” I asked, instantly turned off from the idea.
“Put it like this, treat my girlfriend like you would treat your girlfriend,” said Darius, putting his hand down. “Or better yet, treat Angie the way you want me to treat Baby Girl.”
Alarmed, I glared at my best friend. “The fuck you mean, D?! Something you need to tell me?”
Putting his hand over his heart, my boy said, “Man to man, I’m still gonna wait til you two are publicly official but if she’s down with poly, I’m gonna ask Baby Girl out, if that’s OK with you.”
I could feel my blood boiling under my skin. The thought of anyone but me touching my beautiful Baby Girl filled me with rage but I had to play it cool if my boy was willing to let his girlfriend fuck other dudes. Especially since Angie wants to fuck me!
“I suppose I’ll find out from Baby Girl when I ask her about Angie,” I began. “So… Is Angie a virgin?”
Nervously, Darius asked, “Why you need to know?”
“Just asking. I mean, I can wait if you haven’t broken her in yet…”
Chuckling, my boy said, “You know I’ve been up in that!”
No, you haven’t, lyin’ ass!!
My mission was to lose my virginity before school started next fall if not on my birthday, a month before school starts. As much as I loved Baby Girl, sex was the last thing on her mind so I seriously doubted that she was even thinking about fucking. But now I might have backup pussy?!
Awww yeeeeah!!
Nodding my head, I smiled as I co-signed on his lie. “My boy!”
Knowing that Darius was just as much a virgin as I was, I knew the truth. He had only dated Angie since he got up the nerve to ask her out to the homecoming dance last fall. From that night until tonight, not once did my best friend come and gloat to me about losing his virginity.
“Well, I don’t want to be the only one in the crew with only one girlfriend so let me see what she says,” I said as I checked the time. “Tomorrow. I know Mrs. Wallace isn’t home but my Baby Girl is either studying or sleeping.”
Of course, I could stop by to see if she’ll let me in…
“Ah’ight, man. See you at the barbershop?” Darius asked on his way toward the basement door.
“Ya know it!” I said as I pulled out my cellphone. Dialing my girlfriend’s home number, I was ready to leave the party. Since Kris was my ride, it was time for him to leave as well.
“Yo, tell Kris to come upstairs!” I said to Darius’ departing back.
“Ah’ight!” he replied as he continued his descent into his girlfriend’s basement boudoir.
Moments later, Kris entered the kitchen. “What’s up, man?”
Holding one finger up as my call connected, I spoke to my girlfriend. “Hey Baby!”
Excitedly, Baby Girl replied, “Hi Aaron!”
“I’m about to head home but I wanted to know if I can stop by and see you,” I said honestly.
“Isn’t it kinda late for a visit?” Baby Girl asked as I glanced at the time on the microwave. It was half past ten but I didn’t have a curfew and desperately wanted to spend time with my girl.
“It’s never too late to see my Baby Girl plus I haven’t seen you all day!” I pointed out. “You gonna make me wait until tomorrow to see you?”
Giggling on the other end, Baby Girl said, “You can come over for a little while. I’m almost done studying for the night.”
Nodding my head at my girl’s ambition, I said, “Cool. I’ll be over there in a minute.” Ending my call, I looked at Kris. “I need you to drop me off at Baby Girl’s house.”
Smirking, my boy said, “Gonna go tap that before you go home?”
The look I shot in Kris’ direction could’ve disintegrated him! “Don’t you EVER talk about her like that! Baby Girl ain’t no ho!”
Holding his hands up in protest, Kris apologized. “My bad, dawg!”
As I followed Kris to his car, my cellphone rang. It was Baby Girl!
“Hey Baby! What’s up?” I answered, hoping she was calling to ask me to bring condoms.
Sounding defeated, Baby Girl replied, “I hope I caught you before you pulled up. My mama just walked in!”
Fuck!!
Disappointment covered me. As horny as I was, I didn’t care that she wasn’t ready for sex. I loved everything about my Baby Girl. Her sweet demeanor, her gentle voice, her soft kisses, her thick hips, thighs and booty…
“That’s OK, Baby. Can I stop by tomorrow, after my haircut?” I asked with hopes of a positive response.
“Maybe I should come to your house. Mama’s gonna be home all day since she doesn’t have to go back to the hospital until Sunday,” Baby Girl stated.
Even better. Home alone with Baby Girl!
Since my house was around the corner, I let Kris drop me off in front of Baby Girl’s house. Covering the mouthpiece, I said to Kris, “Thanks man. I’ll see you at the shop.”
“Ah’ight dawg,” said Kris before he busted a U-turn to head back to the party.
Walking around to the side of the house, I stopped in the middle of the gangway. “Look outside your bedroom window,” I said into the phone. I ended the call and looked up when I heard the creak of Baby Girl opening her window.
“Boy! What are you doing here?!” she quietly exclaimed, smiling down at me. “I told you my mama is home!”
Grinning up at Baby Girl, I said, “I miss you and I needed to see you before I went to sleep.”
Giggling, Baby Girl said, “Oooooh, so you just HAD to see me tonight, huh?”
“Yeah because I have something important to say! Rachael, I want you to be my girlfriend,” I said sincerely. “I want the WORLD to know that you’re my girl!”
“Boy, quit playing!” Baby Girl chuckled.
Getting down on one knee, I said, “Rachael, I’m serious. Will you be my girlfriend?”
“Hold on!” Baby Girl said before closing her window. Minutes passed before I heard a whistle toward the front of the house. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Baby Girl gesturing for me to come to her. “Mama said I can talk to you on the front porch.”
Joining Baby Girl, we sat on the top step of the porch. Taking her hands into mine, I looked into Baby Girl’s eyes. “Rachael, you know I really like you. You’re one of my best friends. Been my friend since preschool. You help me with my school work. You always got my back. And… and…”
Squeezing my hands in hers, Baby Girl urged, “And what, Aaron?”
“And I want you to be my girlfriend,” I finished. I wasn’t sure if what I felt for Baby Girl was love but I knew that I wanted no one but her. Anybody else would just be a side chick but Rachael was my main girl!
“Aaron… I really like you too. Yes, I’ll be your girlfriend,” Baby Girl replied.
Yes! She said YES!
Immediately, I took Baby Girl’s face into my hands to kiss her.
“So does this mean you’re gonna stop chasing after the other girls in school?” she asked as I hugged her close to me.
Stunned, I asked, “Chasing girls? Baby, I only want you! I was messing with them to get your attention!”
“Now that you have it, will you stop?” Baby Girl asked again.
Knowing that my new girlfriend wouldn’t be down with polyamory, I chose to bring up the topic at another time. Tonight, I got my wish: Baby Girl is my girlfriend.
“It’s just you and me, Rachael,” I lied.
Yup! Just you and me with Angie on the side!
