Destiny, Mara G. [book club recommendations .TXT] 📗

“Dessy is you even listening to me?” I heard my best friend of 10 years ask me.
“Yea Chels I hear you” I said completely lying.
I hadn’t heard a damned word of what she was saying. Chels is my best friend. She’s a pecan brown complexion with the longest brown and gold tipped dreads. Her eyes are a beautiful blue and grey. Weird right? I mean what black person has blue and grey eyes!
“Dessy I know you not listening so I’m just going to stop talking.” she said in her whiny voice. I looked up at her.
“About time you shut up!” I shouted. Chels is my home girl and all but lord knows she can talk a person’s ear off. We were walking to her house from the bus stop and it was extremely hot outside which was causing me to be quite irritable.
“Aye you want some ice cream?” I asked. After a few seconds of waiting for a reply I glanced over my shoulder and noticed that Chels had stopped walking and was staring across the street. I turned and followed her gaze. Standing across the street had to be the sexiest boy I had ever seen in my life.
“OH MY FUCKING GOODNESS” I screamed a little too loudly causing the boy to look up at us. He began to cross the street towards us. He had on a clean and crisp collared red polo with the top two buttons undone baggy khakis and red and white polos. Chels and I looked at each other in sheer excitement.
“Whats up ladies” he greeted us “my name is Tonio and I saw yall from across the street and just had to introduce myself.” My heart melted at the sound of his delicious voice.
“Hey I’m sexy” I exclaimed. “I mean Destiny” I corrected myself. I could feel my face getting hot form embarrassment as he said “yea you is sexy if I must say so myself.” Chels laughed viciously and extended her hand towards him.
“Hi Im Chelsley but you my dear may call me Chels.” She said flirtingly. Tonio looked at her and nodded then turned his attention to me. I saw him staring at my body lustfully from head to toe and wondered if i was seeing things. I mean its not everyday hot boy stares at me, Destiny Nicollete Smith lustfully. Don’t get me wrong im very attractive with my walnut brown skin sandy red shoulder length ponytail and brown eyes but that’s pretty average here in Atlanta. Tonio smiled an award winning smile and calmly said to me “You are the beautifullest person I’ve had the pleasure to see.” I immediately blushed and stammered out a thank you.
“I know we just met and I don’t know you but I was wondering if I could you out to lunch?” Tonio asked me. I considered his invitation. I didn’t know him but I was surely willing and ready to get to know him. Before I could voice my answer my stomach decided it wanted to growl like a mad man and answer for me. Tonio looked at me smiriking and figured it was a yes. I nodded over at my friend Chels wondering if she could come along I mean he could be a serial rapist for all I knew. The thought of him rapping me wasn’t all that bad though considering his appearance. Shame on me. Chels acknowledged my nod and said she had other things to do and quickly dashed down the street leaving me and the could be serial rapist Tonio alone. He motioned for me to get into the passenger seat of a black dodge charger that I had just noticed. I got in hesitantly and he shut the door behind me. Racing to the drivers side he got in and started the engine. Pulling out of the parking space I looked towards him and boldly asked him what had been on my mind since I got in the car.
“You not a rapist are you Mr. Tonio sir if that’s your real name?” I asked flatly.
“No I’m not a rapist, but if you want to rape me you are more than welcome to” he said looking very amused and serious at the same time. I glared at him through slits and he continued driving.
“So where we headed to?” I asked him curiously.
“My place” he stated while looking at me with a very rapperish grin. I quickly scanned the car for a weapon if he tried anything sneaky. What was I doing riding with a stranger? I glanced over at Tonio and saw him nodding to a Jeezy song blaring from the car speakers. I’m driving with a sexy stranger I thought to myself and all fear soon disappeared from me.

It took us about fifteen minutes to reach his house or should I say mansion? Yeah I should definitely say mansion. The place was freaking gigantic! I opened the car door and placed my size seven yellow and black air brushed forces onto the world’s most maculate plush green lawn. There were fresh springtime lilies in full blossom on each side of the walkway leading up to the two oak wood doors in the front of the mansion. There were five rows of windows on the house and about 3 columns. As I stared in awe of the magnificent view Tonio came around to my side of the car and gently grabbed my hand and guided me towards the back of the house.
“Uhmm not to be rude but I wanted to see the inside of your mansion” I pouted to Tonio.
“We’ll have plenty of time for that later little lady.”
“How do you know that I'm going to be alive later?” I asked quizzically. “I could fling myself into the deep end of the pool and drown for all you know” I stated rather matter -of-factly.
“Because there is no water in our pool” he proclaimed just as matter-of-factly as I had moments ago.
“Douche” I mumbled under my breath. Once we were seated on the patio by the pool with sadly no water I noticed the biggest helicopter ever just inches away from where I sat. I know your probably thinking who doesn’t notice I giant helicopter in their face right. Well I'm that person. I can have a very short attention span at times so some things such as giant helicopters go unnoticed by me when I'm in the presence of a smoking hot dude.
“OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!” I yelled while jumping up and down on the patio next to Tonio “you have a helicopter sitting right in your back yard!” my outburst seemed to amuse him as he quickly sprang to his feet and said in the most stereotypical girl voice ever “Oh my GURSH really DESTINY I SOOO didn’t notice it.” I politely flicked him off and ran over to it, he was right on my heels.
“Hey Mr. Serial rapist sir can we take a ride in your copter” I asked Tonio as nicely as possible.
“Maybe next time little lady” he said “it’s time for lunch.” We made our way inside the mansion from the patio doors into an island of a kitchen. There was stainless steel everywhere! The counters the fridge even the sink was stainless steel.
“Whats for lunch Dona?” Tonio asked the little chef who was placing a silver platter piled high with cheesy enchiladas on them.
“Enchiladas with strawberry mango smoothies and freshly picked baby carrots” she said. My face lit up with glee. Enchiladas and smoothies are my favorite foods in the whole universe! I tried to contain my excitement but failed.
“ME LOVEY ENCHILADASY AND SMOOTHIE!” I screamed in my baby voice. Tonio looked at me lustfully for the second time that day and grabbed the food and my hand and led me upstairs. As we walked up the stairs I couldn’t help but admire what a perfect ass Tonio had. Call me weird but I appreciate a man with nice firm assets. I guess he could feel my probing eyes because he looked over his shoulder and with a smirk sang the lyrics from Beyonces’ song ‘check up on it’ “you can look at it as long as you don’t grab it”. I blushed and looked away only to find myself staring at it again moments later. Once we were inside his room I couldn’t believe my eyes. His room was the size of Africa! I began walking from corner to corner counting every step that I made.
“650” I gasped out loud “your room is 650 square feet.” He looked at me like I had just announced that I was giving birth to a dog and said he was the father. He sauntered over to me while shaking his head.
“Look I know we just met and all but you are in desperate need of a math tutor” he said very seriously.
“Whatever your room needs its own zip code its so big” I said dramatically. I walked away from him and to the table with the food and sat down. I began to dig in immediately.
“Ugh this is amazing” I moaned.
“So are you” Tonio smiled. Did I mention he has an amazingly beautiful smile, especially for a boy. I looked up at him from across the table and smiled a thank you.
“I have a question Destiny” Tonio said.
“I might have an answer”
“Well I was wondering if I could kiss you?” he asked shyly. It took every bit of my strength for me not to scream HELL YEA! So I instead glared across at him and evenly replied with a sharp “Hell NO”. The look on his face was priceless. Seeing how hurt he looked I slowly got out of my chair and went over to him. I straddled him and lifted his face to mines then passionately kissed him. At first he was very unresponsive then once he came to he began to fiercely kiss me back. My hands slowly inched up the front of his rock hard six pack. I began tracing light circles on his sides which caused him to moan loudly into my mouth. I quickly slid my tongue into his gaping mouth and massaged his. Instead of moaning like I wanted him to he began lifting my shirt slowly over my head. I'm not one to kiss and tell on the first date but hell its not every day you meet a rich and sexy boy! We were deeply into our kiss when all of sudden we heard a loud booming from downstairs and we both jumped up. I sighed heavily there goes my fun.
