You sat back in your seat smiling hard, nervously playing with the sliver ring on your finger. You had just went out on your first date with Nasir. You enjoyed your time with his charming, funny, and might you add—handsome. You looked over at him mesmerized by his features, his smooth caramel like skin, thick juicy pink lips, and his face in a mug as he focused on the road while he rapped along to the song that played.
You were so caught up in him that you didn't even notice him pulling up to your building.
"You hear me?" Nasir said pulling you away from your train of thoughts.
You looked up at his eyes, seeing a confused expression on his face. "Uh– oh yeah. I was just thinking." You let out a small laugh as you pulled the seatbelt off you.
"What's on that pretty mind of yours?" His lips curved up in a grin.
Kissing the hell out of you right now. "Just um– I really enjoyed myself today with you. And this definitely something I'm looking forward to doing again." You said lowly.
"Again? Who said I wanted to do this again?" He blurted out with a straight face.
Your face dropped, you felt a ping of hurt and anger in you. "Oh– well.."
"I'm just fucking with you ma." He laughed nudging your arm. "I'm definitely feeling your vibe for sure, no doubt." He said giving you a charming smile.
You felt a flutter in your stomach. "I'm feeling your vibe too." You said biting your lips being that you were nothing but nervous at the moment.
"Oh word?" He asked smirking. You watched him as he looked at your lips and back up at your eyes. His tongue slid across his lips as he looked at you.
"Yeah.." You trailed off not realizing you were leaning in towards him.
He grabbed your chin, pulling your face closer to his. He tilted his head placing soft kisses on your cheek and down to your neck.
Your breath hitched at his doing. "Nas.."
He pulled his head up looking at you, he pecked your lips. Just for that second his lips on yours, you got butterflies. You pecked his lips back, and it just went back and forth until you were full on making out.
You pulled back before things got too heated. You blushed seeing your lipgloss left on his lips. "You got sum' on your lips." Blushing as you ran your thumb over his lips.
"Coconut?" He asked licking his lips, getting the hint of flavor from your lip gloss.
"Mhm." You nodded.
He hopped out the car and jogged over to your side, opening the door for you. You laughed at his lil' jog, and blushed at his sweet gesture.
"Thank you." You stepped out placing the strap of the bag over your shoulder. He shut the door and leaned against the car with his leg crossed over the other.
You stood in front of him with your arms crossed over your chest, smiling at him. "Again I enjoyed myself and thank you for tonight." You smiled, looking down.
"Why you always avoiding eye contact? Huh?" He asked reaching out to you grabbing you by your waist— pulling you against him.
"Shit makes me nervous onna real." You put your hands on his chest.
"Oh I make you nervous?" He asked smirking, you could tell he was enjoying this. "Let me see those pretty eyes." He gripped your chin lightly, pulling you up to face him.
"Gimme kiss." He said lowly.
That did something to your entire soul, making you weak in the knees. This damn boy. You obliged pressing your glossy lips against his. Your hands trailed up his chest and around his neck.
"Alright, I keep getting my lip gloss on you." You laughed wiping his lips.
"Shit I don't mind at all." He grinned.
"Good night Nasir." You said peeling off him and headed up to the entrance of your building.
