_____It was summer. Time for me to give back to the community and help out with the local youth basketball camp. It was the first day of the camp and everything was going fine. We had already stretched and warmed up, so now it was time to take a seat and listen to the other coaches. I take a seat among the kids to make sure that they actually listen and behave. My attention is drawn to the lobby above the court to catch somebody's stare. Thinking nothing of it, I return to listening to my fellow coaches and looking over the agenda of the day. I get that feeling that someone is looking at me, and I turn to catch those same beautiful eyes. But who is it? My self-conscience tells me that it is probably just an overprotective mother that is making sure I'm not beating her kid or something, and I go on with the drills.
_____Lunch, finally! Those kids were starting to aggravate me, but I do love them. Sean, another counselor and basically my best friend, walks into the office. It's the only place that the kids aren't allowed and everyone takes advantage of it.
_____"Hey girlie."
_____"Wuz up Sean? How's the wife?"
_____"Man, Keisha is not my wife! We're just--"
_____"Just together 24/7 and she's got you so pussy whipped that you can't even hang out with us gurlz no more."
_____"Shut up! But speaking of pussy whipped, who you got beggin' for your shit these days?"
_____"No one. I am single and loving every second of it."
_____"That doesn't surprise me, you know how picky you are about your pussy."
_____"And that's a bad thing? I just know what I like, and recently, I haven't liked anything."
__________At that moment, those same eyes came walking into the office. They are even more beautiful up close. Man, I hope that this isn't that bad ass little boy's mom that I was about to hit earlier. That would be just what I needed today. But it wasn't. It was one of Sean's friends. I should have figured. This stud was decked out, too. She was just standing there, looking fyne as hell and I was there in a t-shirt and some shorts with my hair pulled back. Damn, I finally see someone that might actually meet my standards and I look like shit.
_____She introduces herself as 'Red' and reaches out to give me some. As Sean and Red stand there talking, all I can think about was how great her lips would feel on mine. As the buzzer goes off, I'm rudely snapped back into the reality of the camp. As I'm about to leave the office, Red calls me back to talk to halla for a second. We exchange idle chitchat about the camp, the weather, whatever. The buzzer goes off again and I tell her I have to leave. She takes my hand and turns it so that my palm is facing her with my fingers to the side. As she takes my hand, I notice that my phone number is written on hers, in Sean's handwriting. She takes a pen and writes along the side of my finger, "I'll call." I don't know what to think. I'm so pissed at Sean right now, but in a way, I'm glad that she did it. I finally leave Red and go over to Sean.
_____"SEAN!! Girl, what were you thinking?"
_____"I thought you would be happy. I saw the way you were looking at her."
_____"Yeah, but it wasn't your place to give her MY phone number."
_____"My bad. But you know you're happy as hell about this."
_____All I can do is smile and shake my head. Sean knows me way too well for me to even lie to her. Over the next few months, Red and I started to talk, on almost a daily basis. We become friends first and then finally we end up becoming lovers.
_____The first night we spent together was beautiful. It had been too damn long since I had any and I was feening for some pretty bad. I was nervous as hell. Since, it had been so long, I was worried I wouldn't do something right. And she was totally cool about it. I don't know how long it was that she just layed there with me, but it must have been forever. She didn't care. She would have stayed there all night with me if I weren't ready to do something.
_____As we were lying there, I turned to her, took her face in my hands and had the most beautiful kiss I have ever had in my entire life. I think we must have just kissed for at least 10 minutes, before coming up for air. She started to move her hands up and down my body. Not letting any crevasse go untouched. She took it slow and it was beautiful. We made love all night long and I fell asleep in her arms. At that moment, I found love. And I was never going to let her go.

THE END
