Selenes POV
“You better be fucking dying.” Zarina mumbles against the pillow. I can see her red satin bonnet peaking through the covers.
“Worse, Jordyn just asked me on a date and I said yes!” I say anxiously.
She pops up clearly awake. “That is serious. What are you going to wear?” She asks.
“That’s the problem. I don’t know. She just said to dress nice.”
“What the fuck does that mean?” I shrug and she rolls her eyes huffing going to her closet. I sit on her bed biting my lip. “Here.” She hands me a black dress that clearly will stick to my body showing every curve.
“You’ll think I’ll look good?” I ask nervously.
“Good? Bitch she’ll probably try to jump you as soon as she sees you. It’s elegant but sexy just like you. Now take it, I’m going back to sleep.” She says kissing my forehead and laying back in her bed.
“Thanks Rina. See you later tonight.”
“No!” I stop from walking out looking at her confused. “I should see you tomorrow morning looking like you just got the best fuck of your life. If I see you tonight then we’ll have a problem.” She says eyeing me knowingly. I nod and she sends a wink and lays back down.
I walk out and take a breath knowing what she meant. You’re getting laid tonight. No I’m going to have a good time without thinking about sex. But what if she wants to have sex? I’m not opposed to the idea. Then you’re getting laid. I roll my eyes at my inner thoughts and look at the time on my phone. 5:05 pm. Shit.
I go back to my room and start getting ready. I put on light makeup since I don’t really need it nor like it. I put mascara on to heighten my lashes and clear lipgloss that make my lips pop. I slip on the dress and it’s a singular thin strapped dress with a slit that goes all the way up to my left hip showing my whole left leg. I put on my black heels that give me a 3 inch vertical so I won’t be as short. Lastly I do my hair and I curl it and let it lay in a side part. I put my contacts in when it hits 5:58.
Jordyn ☺ï¸: I just pulled in I’m coming up.
I read her message and the nervous butterflies creep up. God what if I over did it? What if she was serious about wearing sweats? Damn it! Knock knock. Too late now. I walk to the door and take a deep breath then open the door to see a handsome Jordyn.
“Hi.” She breathes out taking me in. Her gaze makes me nervous so I try to shy away but she grabs my hand. “You look ravishing, Selene.” She says with a sparkle in her eyes.
I gain consciousness. “You look so handsome Jordyn.” She’s wearing a red button up with the sleeves rolled up to her elbow and black dress pants with black dress shoes. Her hands are full of black and silver rings and her hair looks like it has hair gel to shape it more curly. She blushes at my choice of words. “Oh is it ok if I call you handsome? It’s not too masculine is it?” I ask nervous that I offended her.
“Oh it’s the best compliment someone can give me aside from smelling good of course.” She says still smiling. “Are you ready?” She asks. I nod smiling and she takes my hand and I close the door behind us.
We get downstairs and I don’t see her usual Camaro but a white Escalade truck. “Is this yours?” I ask impressed but curious how she has so much money as a high school gym coach.
She laughs and shakes her head while opening the door for me. “No it’s my best friends. He let me use it so it’ll be easier for you to get in and more room. My Camaro is tight I didn’t want you uncomfortable.” She says. I grab her hand to stop her playing with her rings.
“Thank you. It’s perfect.” I say reassuring her nerves because she’s seems nervous. She smiles and closes the door after tucking my dress in. She gets in the drivers side and smiles at me before starting it and driving off. “So,” I get her attention as we stop at a red light. “Are you going to tell me where we’re going now?” I ask smirking at her.
Her smile grows. “No, but I’m confident you’ll like it.” Is all she says but continues to smile throughout the 15 minute drive. We pull up to the destination. “Wait here.” She says and I nod as she gets out. She walks to my side and opens my door for me.
I blush at the sight. “You are cute.” I coo and take her hand so she can help me out.
“I was raised properly.” She says and I don’t know why that sent my core in heat.
I look up to the restaurant and see it’s my favorite Italian place. “How did you,” she just takes my hand and guides us inside with a smile.
“Reservation for Marino.” She tells the waiter. He says follow me and takes us to the booth in the corner of the restaurant that’s away from all the eyes of the packed restaurant.
We take our seats with us seating side by side in the middle of the U shaped booth that could honestly fit like 5 other people. “How did you know this was my favorite restaurant?” I finally get out now that we’re alone.
She chuckles and sips water. “Well, you would always bring leftovers from this place on Fridays at school. And Leo, asked you why and you said you love Italian and this is the best place in town.” She says smiling at me.
My mouth gapes open at her remembering so much 5 years ago. “You remember a lot back then.”
She shrugs. “I was observant. I pay attention to those things or people who interest me.” She says and realization hits at her words. The waiter comes up to ask for our orders before I say can anything.
“What can I get you guys?” He asks looking at Jordyn firsts.
“Posso avere il tuo risotto?” She says and my eyes snap to her speaking Italian. I can see her eyes glance at me for a quick second at my reaction.
“Certo signora.” He says back. “And you?” He asks me and breaks me out of my thoughts.
“Um can I get your Lasagna?” I order and he nods taking our menus and leaving us. I turn my body to Jordyn who is smirking but not looking at me. “You speak Italian?”
She looks at me and takes a deep breath. “I am Italian, half. My father is Italian.” Her hair makes sense now. “I never spoke it in school unless I was upset during a game because no one would understand me either way.” She says.
“Wow. I never thought about it with your name before. I’m sure you get this a lot.”
She chuckles and her cheeks meet her eyes to showcase that beautiful smile. “You want me to say something to you in Italian?” She asks.
I shake my head. “Actually I was going to ask if you’re in the mafia.” I say jokingly.
She senses the humor by smiling but turns serious. “If I told you that I’d have to kill you Selene, and quite honestly I enjoy your company too much to do that.” She says and my eyes go to her lips for a split second before meeting her eyes.
“Wait actually?” My eyes go wide.
Her serious face goes back playful. “Oh god no. My dad is an accountant and my mom is head of her own book club.” She says.
“Good. But can you say something in Italian?” I ask.
“Sei la donna più bella che abbia mai conosciuto.” She says looking me in my eyes and then smiled at the end before sipping her water again.
“What does that mean?” I ask only catching Bella which I know means beautiful.
“You.” Is all she says and our food comes out. Through out dinner we get to know each other. I learned she has a roommate like me, she’s 23 and her birthday is February 10th which is in 3 months. She had a full ride basketball scholarship and instead of going the WNBA route she went to sports medicine which she says he better benefits and she’s proud.
We finished dinner and she pays and we walk out hand in hand. She pulls me down the sidewalk in the opposite direction of the car. “And where are we going now?” I ask.
“I was craving ice cream but they don’t have many options in there.” She says and I smile because I was thinking the same thing.
We make it to the ice cream shop and we’re the only ones there. “What can I get for you guys?” The young girl behind the counter asks.
“What would you like?” Jordyn ask in my ear holding me from behind because I started shivering and neither of us have a coat. I’m swooning over this woman.
“Strawberry shortcake please.” I order and Jordyn orders cookies and cream. “Thank you.” I say as the girl hands us our ice creams. Jordyn takes us outside to sit on the outside chairs since it’s warmer.
“Is cookie dough, your favorite?” She asks as I take a spoon of hers to taste it.
I nod. “Yes and is cookies and cream yours?”
She shakes her head. “No I just got it because it looked like you were debating between the two in the shop. I like it but clearly you like both.” She says as I’m taking another spoon of her ice cream. She smiles at the action in admiration.
I take my spoon back embarrassed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be picking at yours.”
She shakes her head and smiles at me. “Please, I ordered it for us both I don’t mind sharing.” She says honestly and leaning her cup towards me to get some.
I smile and take another spoon of it and hum in content when it hits my tongue. “Thank you. You’re sweet.” I say blushing.
“You’re welcome.” We finish our ice cream and once again hand in hand going back towards the car. She opens it for me and again she has me blushing. “You are so beautiful when you blush Selene. I’m glad to be the cause.” She says as I settle in the seat.
She closes the door and then gets in the drivers seat and smiles again before starting the car and driving. ‘You shouldn’t be back tonight.’ Zarinas words resonate in me and I break the comfortable silence. “Uh Jordyn?” I call her and she glances at me acknowledging me as her eyes go back to the road. “Are you taking me home?” I ask nervously.
She smirks. “That was my plan, yes. Did you want to go somewhere else? I don’t mind continuing our date. I’m having fun.” She says taking small glances at me.
I nod. “I was just asking because I’m enjoying our time too and didn’t quite want it to end yet.” I say timidly.
We reach a red light and she gives me her attention. “And what did you have in mind?” She asks.
I shrug. “You’ve seen my place,” she raises an eyebrow at my words, “I’d like to see yours.” I say it was bold and hopefully she doesn’t think of me weird.
She smiles and nods. She goes back to driving when the light turns green. “Then we’ll go see my house. My roommate might be there but I can tell him to leave if it makes you uncomfortable.” She offers sweetly.
I shake my head. “Uh no it’s fine. It’s his house too, I wouldn’t want to kick him out.” I say. She turns to me for a second curiously and then goes back to the road and smiles.
We pull up to her apartment and it looks way fancier than mine. “Are you rich?” I ask and hope it didn’t come off as rude.
She snaps her eyes to me and chuckles. She loves to smile. And it’s so cute when she does. But that doesn’t answer the question. She gets out and opens my door for me and we walk into the building and to the elevator. There’s buttons that go from G-25p and she presses 25 meaning we’re going to the top floor which is the penthouse. “Seriously Jordyn tell me now.” I say stopping us when we get off the elevator. She eyes me curiously. “Are you a part of the mafia?” I ask way more serious now.
She laughs. “Calmati, Selene.” She demonstrates breathing in and out and I follow still skeptical. We reach her door and we stop again but this time it was her intiating it. “I’m not rich, but between Jason and I we make a good living and we can afford this. I am not a part of the mafia. I promise Selene.” She says holding my hands and then kissing them both reassuringly.
I take a deep breath and nod my head saying I understand. She smiles and we walk in to the lavish penthouse with a cozy aesthetic. My eyes scan the stoned fire place with a 70 in screen flat screen hanging above it, the hard wood floors with a different variety of browns rug under a coffee table. The kitchen is black and white and luxurious. No wonder she’s such a good cook she gets to cook meals in this. There’s a hall way where I assume are the rooms. “This is gorgeous Jordyn.” I say in awe.
She grabs my hand and smiles. “You didn’t even see the best part. She takes me to the balcony that’s next to the fire place and the view looks out over the city. You can hear the sounds of cars driving but also feels so peaceful up here. I take a breath of the air with my eyes closed to really take it in. “It’s great isnt it?” She asks smiling at me.
“It’s beautiful.” I say staring out.
“Sì, lo sei.” She mumbles but of course I don’t understand so I don’t even ask. “Let’s go back in.” She grabs my hand and leads back in side.
“Oh shit! My bad I didn’t know we were having company.” A tall blasian man comes out in a Naruto shirt and matching shorts with a Leaf Village headband on and a headset.
“Jason, this is Selene but you know her as Ms. Kaci.” Jordyn introduces us.
I eye the boy and I realize he’s Jason Lang from my senior class. Jordyn and him were together all the time. He was a sweet boy and in track. “I remember you. Look at you.” I say proudly.
He blushed and shakes my hand. “It’s nice to see you again Ms. Kaci.”
I wave it off. “Please I’m not your teacher anymore Jason. Call me Selene.” He nods and smiles and then eyes Jordyn.
“Well sorry I just came out for snacks. I’m doing an anime stream.” He says going towards the kitchen.
“Jason is a popular streamer. He does special events on his streams. Tonight he’s watching different types of anime’s with his audience while dressed in his favorite, Naruto.” Jordyn explain and I smile and nod in understanding.
“That sounds cool.” I say enthusiastically. “Is it ok if we watch for a little bit?” I ask her.
“Oh that would be so cool!” Jason says coming with a bottle of coke and chips in hand.
She laughs and nods. “Let’s go.” She says and we all go to Jason’s office where he streams and it’s dark with rainbow lights every where and a 3 monitor setup that shows us in one of the screens.
Jason says we can sit down on the couch in the back ground and I sit next to Jordyn. “What’s up yall! Ok ok chill out. This is all y’all know Jordyn my bestfriend and this beautiful woman is her girlfriend Selene. So y’all better chill.” He says and my eyes go wide at him saying girlfriend.
I look at Jordyn and she has a smile on her face. We continue watching Jason do his thing and it’s honestly so fun seeing him interact with his audience and the shows we watch are so good especially with him commentating on stuff being funny. Sometimes he’ll call up Jordyn and she’ll play a game with him like spin the wheel for him to do a dare. He got put ice down his pants and now he has a wet spot on the back side of his pants.
“You ready to go?” Jordyn ask in my ear and I nod and she grabs my hand. “Alright we’re gone yall!” She calls and you can see the entire chat going faster then light waving or saying bye to her.
“That was fun.” I say enthusiastically.
“Well I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. I deal with that almost every night if he isn’t at his club.” She says as we sit down on the comfortable U shaped couch in front of the fire place.
“Thank you for tonight Jordyn. I’m glad you asked me out.” I say smiling.
She smiles. “Well I’m glad I did too. I really had a good time.” She says and looks at my lips and then back at my eyes. Is she leaning in or am I about to faint?
‘Don’t come home.’ “Where’s your restroom?” I ask and she pulls back and smiles directing me and I nod and go to the one that serves as the guest restroom. I get in and take a breath. Ok ok. It’s ok. You’re going to have sex. Wait what? No were having a good time with just our company. So? Sex is good. It’s a great way to end the night. We can just cuddle and sleep. Yes together. Sleep with her. She wants you.
“You ok Selene?” She asks from outside the door.
“Oh uh yeah. Sorry just freshening up. I’ll be out in a minute.” I call out. Shit how long have I been in here?
I exit out and she’s back on the couch and she smiles when she sees me. “I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable. I can take you home.” She says and she’s collecting her keys.
I shake my head and grab her hand to stop her. “No I’m not uncomfortable. I’m sorry I just got nervous.” I say honestly.
She nods. “You don’t have to be nervous around me Selene. We can go your pace. I’m sorry about not commenting on the whole ‘girlfriend’ thing with Jason.” She says playing with her rings and looking down.
I lift her head so she’s looking at me. “It’s fine. It was cute. But I agree we can go a slower pace for now.” I say and she nods looking at me sweetly. “My roommate said she doesn’t want me home tonight.” She tilts her head confused. I take a breath. “She says i need to get laid but I don’t want you thinking that’s why I agreed tonight. She told me that after I accepted.” I say frantically.
She looks down in thought. “So she wants you to sleep with me?” She ask and I nod embarrassed and cover my face. She grabs my hands down and smiles. “Then let’s sleep together. Im pretty tired from all the food and talking and laughter.” She says.
I take a breath. I nod. “Me too.” She smiles and takes my hand and takes us to her room. I scan it just like the rest of the house and it’s dark with a black comforter set on a king size bed and black accent dressers and tv stand. Her walls are a dark rich green color and she has plants on shelves and in corners of her room. And nook under her window next to bookshelf. It’s so cozy in here. “Wow.”
She smiles. “You like it?” I nod. “I’m glad. I take pride in my room. It’s my sanctuary of sorts.” She says and goes into her walk in closet that from what I can see from where I am is filled with different shoes and suits and jackets. “Here you go.” She says coming out handing me one of her white satin pajama sets.
“I’m sure this will make me look smaller than I already am.” I joke and she laughs that beautiful laugh.
“It’s all I have. I’m sorry I don’t usually sleep in clothes though.” She says honestly.
I shake my head. “I don’t either.” And I blush at the way she looks at me after I say that.
“Oh uh perfect. I’m going to shower and then you can get in.” She says and I nod. She grabs her underwear and a towel and then goes to her adjacent bathroom.
I hear the shower running and take a breath. I take out my phone to text Zarina I won’t be coming home.
Rina: omfg!! I’m so happy! Let me know how it was tomorrow! 😉
I go to text her it’s not like that but Jordyn comes out in her Calvin Klein underwear and bra with her head wet. “You can go in next. I didn’t take all the hot water.” She says and I take in all the tattoos she hides at school. How does she get finer ever time I see her? “Selene? Ms. Kaci!” She gets my attention. Sixth time.
“Yes?”
She smirks. “Well if you’re done checking me out, I said you can go in now.” She says jokingly. I clear my throat and grab the pair of fresh boxers and bra she hands me and go into the bathroom to shower and hide my embarrassment.
When I get out the shower she’s in bed on her phone with one arm behind her head. “Your water pressure is top notch.” I say.
She laughs. “I agree.” She sits up putting down her phone and giving me her full attention. Her eyes scan my body. “You look amazing in my clothes.” She says and I blush. She taps the left side of the bed for me to join her and I immediately do crawling under the blanket and scooting right next to her. “Comfortable?” She asks and I nod.
She has her arm around me caressing my arm as I have my head on her chest with my arm wrapped around her torso. “Thank you again for tonight.” I say.
“Thank you for accepting. I’ve been waiting to be able to take you out for years.” She says honestly and her words hit me and I go to ask her what she means by that and when I lift up her eyes are closed and her breaths are slowed. She’s asleep. I lay my head back down and snuggle closer and follow her lead and drift to sleep.
