It had been a couple of days since I last saw Dominic. And I preferred to keep it that way. I ended up telling Kendra what happened after she interrogated me. She was shocked at first but promised to keep it a secret.

It was Wednesday evening and I had just finished a shift at the diner. "See you tomorrow!" Halle calls from the car as she drops me in front of the apartment complex.

"Thanks again!" I call back as she drives off and I look at the time, 9 pm. I was exhausted and just dying to get out of my uniform.

I walked through the complex toward my building till I heard someone call out my name. I turn around to see Dominic by the mail center.

I gulp, "Hi."

Wait when did he learn my name?

"Haven't seen you around much." He says as he approaches me.

I nod, looking down to avoid his eyes. "I've been busy. Work and stuff."

He looks down at my uniform before speaking, "Nice uniform."

"I thought you didn't like me? Why are we talking?" I ask suddenly.

He smirks, "That's right, I don't like you Amina." My name slid off his tongue so beautifully. "I find you somewhat, annoying."

I scoff, this time looking up at him. "I don't like you either asshole."

He approaches closer, "But yet, I cannot stop thinking about you." His gaze was fixed on my lips as his arms snuck around my waist. "Your lips. The way you taste.." His voice was husky as he closed the proximity between us. "Just say no if you want me to stop."

His arm was secured around my waist tight as he lowered himself into the kiss. I knew I should've said no, but I wanted it just as badly. If I were to say I hadn't thought about what happened between us the past few days I'd be lying.

My lips met his and I moaned as he pulled me even closer than before. My hands caress his jaw before making its way behind his neck. My knees felt weaker as the intensity of the kiss grew. Suddenly the sound of a loud cough brought me back to my senses.

I broke away from the kiss and looked over at where the sound had come from. An older woman with a pencil skirt had her arms crossed looking very unpleased. "This is a mail room, not a make-out room." I recognize her as one of the front desk ladies.

I blush, "I am so sorry, we'll be leaving now." I look over at Dominic who glares at the woman before following me out.

I felt so embarrassed as I rushed away from the mail room. Dominic follows behind me as I try to get away from him. "Wait up!"

I turn around to face him, "What?"

"Where are you rushing off to?"

"My apartment? Where else?"

He shakes his head before grabbing my arm and leading me toward his door. "Hey, this is kidnapping!" I exclaim. He shushes me as we enter his apartment.

"What?" I ask again.

"Tell me you don't want us to finish what we've started."

"What?" I ask again.

"Just say that and I'll leave you alone."

"I-I uh."

"Exactly." He approaches me once again, his hand holds my chin to face him. "Tell me that you don't want me again." His gaze was lustful as he stared me down. His hands moved to the buttons of my uniform. "Tell me that you don't want this." He says as he slowly unbuttons. My uniform drops to the ground, leaving me in my bra and panties. His fingers slowly grazed my collarbone making me shutter. He did nothing but stare at me as he awaited my answer.

"I do." I finally breathed out as I brought my lips to his once again. This time the kiss was aggressive as he lifted me up and to his bedroom. He laid me down on his bed. He kissed hungrily down my neck and chest. His kisses were warm as they trailed downward to my stomach. He began taking his time kissing every part of me. He was extra slow as he kissed my inner thighs. The anticipation drove me wild as he kissed the bare cloth of my panties.

In one swift and sudden movement, they were off and he began devouring me as he did the other day. My back arched upward as I let out a loud moan. He continues savoring every bit as I scream out. He looks up at me seductively as I finally release.

"Delicious." He mumbles as he comes up to meet my lips.

My body falls onto the bed once again as he breaks from the kiss and reaches for the nightstand drawer, this time pulling out a new condom. He gives me a questioning gaze asking if I'm still sure. I nod and he rips the condom open with his teeth before bringing his lips back to mine.

He positions himself on top of me and kisses me gently before I feel him enter suddenly. I let out a gasp at the size. My head falls back as he begins to move himself in and out of me slowly. His lips explore my neck once again as my hips get to work. "Dominic." I moan out. I feel him smile as he kisses my neck.

His pace quickens and I continue to gasp out, "Shit!"

He looks into my eyes lustfully before placing his lips near my ear. "Say my name again." He demands as he begins sucking on my tender spots. "Dominic." I moan once again.

He sits up and lifts my legs behind his head. "I can't hear you." I can feel myself reaching my release once again. His speed quickens even more and at this point he's ramming into me. I finally hit my breaking point and cry out his name as I feel the warmth of his release in the condom. He stares down at me, completely out of breath and I do the same. He pulls out and discards the condom in the trash before laying down next to me.

"Wow." I mutter to myself.

"Yeah." He agrees.

Silence fell between us once again as we lay in bed beside each other.

"Round two?" He asks suddenly.

I smirk at him before bringing my lips to his.

I woke up the next day feeling extremely sore. I opened my eyes and noticed the sun shining brightly through the blinds of the window. I turned around to see Dominic passed out next to me on his stomach. Behind him, I noticed an alarm clock. The time read 10:45 am.

My eyes widened, Crutchfield's class!

I hop out of bed urgently and search for my things. I only had my work uniform with me and groaned as I realized I would need to put it on to step outside. I grab one of Dominic's t-shirts off the dresser, pull that on instead, and rush outside. I unlock my apartment door and rush into my bedroom to grab clothes to wear.

I put on a long-sleeved top with black jeans and throw on some Converse. I look over at the time, 10:53 am. I wasn't going to make it, the class starts at 11 am. I look in the mirror and realize how awful I looked. My hair once again looked a mess and my makeup from yesterday was smudged by my tears from last night.

I order an Uber and decide to fix my hair in there. When I finally get to campus it's already 11:17 am, I groan and rush over to the classroom building. I enter the room just as Professor Crutchfield is turning on his PowerPoint. He looks very displeased to see me. "Take your seat, Ms. Brown. That's a mark against you."

I sigh, "Yes sir."

At least I remembered my book, that would've made things even worse.

Class continues to go on and I take notes accordingly. I couldn't help but keep thinking about last night. I never expected sex with that asshole to be as good as it was. But I needed to control myself, last night was surely the last time.

I got out of class around noon after Crutchfield dismissed us. I pull out my phone as I walk through campus. I hadn't had time to check it since I woke up this morning. But I had several messages from Kendra as well as missed calls.

K: soo um you never came home home from work. U good?

K: ur scaring me now Ami plz pick up

K: AMI

K: AMIIII

K: omg plz don't be dead girl

K: ...I'm hearing a lot of headboard banging next door

K: I'm going to assume ur over there, CALL ME THO

I felt bad about making her worry and decided to text her back.

A: sorryyyyyy Ken! I got a bit distracted

She responds immediately.

K: U HAD ME WORRIED SICK

I chuckle.

A: I'm so sorry! Won't happen again.

K: I want deets as soon as I see u

Crazy Kendra.

I head over to one of the restrooms nearby to double-check my appearance. I looked not as bad as before but still pretty bad. My hair was in a bun that just happened to be a netted mess. Yesterday's makeup stayed under my eyes, and hickies could be seen peeking out from my shirt's neck hole.

I wipe the makeup off my face with a wet paper towel and proceed to tame my hair again. I was in desperate need of a shower and wanted to go back to the apartment to take one. I looked at the time, my next class was going to start soon. Might as well wait it out.

I leave the restroom and head in the direction of my class. "Ami!" A familiar voice calls out. I turn around to see Isaiah running to catch up to me. When he finally reaches me he throws his arm over my shoulders. "What's up?" He looks at my appearance, "Why do you look like that?"

I push him over gently, "If you think I'm ugly just say that."

He chuckles, "No really. You look like shit."

"I woke up late dummy. I didn't have time to get ready."

He nods in understanding, "I see that. Where are you headed?"

"My last class, then I can finally go home." I sighed, a hot bath sounded like heaven right now.

"Well, I was coming over to invite you to our Labor Day BBQ at our place. Just something low-key, friends only since we have Monday off. You interested?"

A BBQ? Sounds fun.

"Sure sounds like fun. Kendra's coming?" I confirm.

He nods, "Of course."

"Great, I'll see you Saturday then."

He shakes his head, "The BBQ is on Monday, our day off."

I frown, "I have work on Monday, I can't come."

Isaiah pouts, "But you have to! What about after work?"

I shake my head, "I'm closing." I look down at my watch, "I'm also running late, text me okay!" I rush away from him and toward my classroom urgently. Would hate to be late to class twice in one day.

When the dreaded class finally ended I was free to go home. It was Thursday so I didn't have work and was free to catch up on homework. I headed home eagerly and decided to take a long hot bath. I ran the hot water and filled the tub with bubbles before stepping in. My body was still sore from last night and this is exactly what I needed. I played some music and closed my eyes as the lyrics of Summer Walker's, Body flowed out from the speaker.

I don't know what it is

I can't tell you what it is

But you got me goin' crazy

Sex with you is so amazin'

How, long can you go, baby?

Better last 'til my body's sore, 'cause it's crazy

I couldn't help but think of Dominic. I hadn't had time to process what had happened last night. What was I doing? What was I thinking?

I wasn't thinking with my head, which was very unlike me.

Suddenly there was a knock on my bedroom door.

"Ami it's Ken are you busy?" She called out from the other side of the door. I was covered in bubbles and felt like talking so I invited her in.

"Oh wow look at you living it up." She says motioning to my bubble spa.

I laugh and blow some bubbles at her, "Yes it's much needed."

She quirks up an eyebrow knowingly, "He wore you out huh?"

I avert my gaze to avoid meeting her curious ones. She laughs, "Fine I won't pry. Are you going to the Labor Day BBQ at Isaiah's place?"

I shake my head, "Sadly I was scheduled to work, and it's a late shift."

She pouts, "Aw it was going to be so much fun! Stephanie can't go either and I don't wanna be alone with all of them."

"Why don't you take Bianca?" I suggest.

Kendra shakes get head, "You know she doesn't like parties."

"But isn't it a small get-together? Just ask her she might surprise you."

Kendra sighs, "Fine but next time you better be free."

Kendra and Bianca did not know each other well at all. Their common interest was me, as they were both my roommates. Since I had made friends with Kendra through Isaiah and met Bianca through a school roommate matcher, they never took the time to get to know each other.

I chuckle, "I'll try." She begins whistling and looking around randomly. I stare at her until I realize what is going on. "Fine, I'll tell you what happened last night."

She grins widely, "Only if you want to."

I began telling her how I ran into Dominic in the mail center. Then about how we were caught by the front desk lady and how the rest of the events from last night led to me oversleeping. "So are you into him now or something?" She questions.

I gag, "Gross no."

Her eyes hold a questioning gaze. "So you swallowed his nut, but the thought of being romantic with him sickens you?"

I gasped, "I never said I did that!"

She bursts out laughing, "You never said you didn't either!"

I decide to shut my mouth as she continues to laugh. When she finally composed herself and wipes her tears of laughter she turns back to me. "Okay but on a serious note, are you going to keep doing this with him? You guys like friends with benefits?"

I take a moment to think about it, as much as I would love to do that again. I don't think it's a good idea. "I can't be friends with benefits with someone I'm not friends with. I can't stand the guy."

"So next time you see him are you going to tell him that? Because it sounds like you crumble every time he touches you." I blush knowing she was right, he gave me the option to walk away but I didn't.

"I will stand my ground next time, you'll see!" I look down at my fingers that were beginning to prune up. Kendra gets up from her seat noticing my hands as well, "Good for you, stand up to that man. I'll be in my room if you need me." I nod as she leaves the room. Once she's finally gone I get up and wash the soap off of my body.

After the wonderful shower, I put on a bathrobe and take a seat on my bed. I get dressed into some sweats and a tank top after applying lotion to my body. I walk into the kitchen to find something to eat for dinner. Bianca was there, stirring something that resembled black licorice.

"Hey Bianca, what're you making?"

She sighs, "It was supposed to be green beans to eat with my rice." She points to the bowl of white mush on the counter, "I overcooked it."

I stifle a giggle, "I'm sorry, wanna grab something to eat?"

"Out? Sure I guess."

"Great, let me ask Kendra if she's hungry."

This is the perfect time to force them to bond some more.

Bianca shrugs as I knock on Kendra's door, "Ken you wanna come with us to get food?"

She opens her door immediately, "I'm always down for food. I'll drive too!" I chuckle as I go on to grab a jacket and shoes from my bedroom.

We all meet up in the living room when ready and head down to Kendra's car. I open the door to the backseat for myself, forcing Bianca to sit shotgun with Kendra.

"So what are we getting?" Kendra asks as she starts her car.

"How about Burgers?" I suggest.

Bianca shakes her head, "I'm a vegetarian."

I quickly shut my mouth, completely forgetting that fact. "What about Panda Express?" Kendra suggests.

She shakes her head again, "I don't like their food."

"Well, what do you suggest?" I ask.

She shrugs, "I'm fine with anything."

Kendra and I let out an irritated sigh.

After almost 15 minutes of arguing, we finally decided on a custom pizza place. We arrived and took our seats after ordering at the front register. "So what do you like to do for fun Bianca?" Kendra asks as I scroll through my phone.

"I like reading and drawing, what do you like?" Bianca asks in return.

Kendra shrugs, "I like hanging out, partying, and sleeping. Oh, and I love music too."

Bianca nods, not sure what to say in return. I decided to chime in, "What kind of music Ken?" She shrugs again, "R&B mostly, some pop, and secretly some country."

Bianca's eyes light up, "Who is your favorite artist?"

"For R&B probably Kehlani, but overall I love Tori Kelly. She's so good." Kendra gushed.

Bianca gasps, "I love Tori Kelly! Have you listened to her new EP?"

Kendra squeals, "Yes! Don't Take Me Home was pure genius!"

The girls continue talking about music and such until the pizzas arrive. "Would you be interested in coming to a BBQ with me on Monday?" Kendra asks Bianca as we bite into our pizzas.

"It's at Caleb's house." I add in a sing-song tone.

Bianca blushes. "Wait you like Caleb?" Kendra questions.

Bianca looks away shyly, "I think he's really cute. But I've only spoken to him once."

"Then you have to come with me to the BBQ! I'll help get you two acquainted." Kendra winks while I let out a laugh and add-in. "You should go! I think Caleb will like you if you just let him know you exist."

And that was true, Caleb liked nice girls. Plus Bianca was so pretty! Her hazel eyes hid behind huge glasses, while her wild tight curls stayed in a ponytail a majority of the time. Her skin tone was an even caramel color and she was shorter than both Ken and I.

She smiles, "Alright I'll come."

Ken cheers, "Yes! I'm helping you pick out your outfit."

The night continues as we chat and finish our pizzas, then eventually head home. The girls seemed like they were finally bonding and I felt proud of myself for bringing them together. As the night finally comes to an end I take a seat at my desk and begin my homework for the night.

Do you think it was their last time? 👀

There will probably be a short pause here into I get a bit more views and votes. This will also give me time to update my other stories. But don't forget to like and comment!
