said. “Then I guess I can let you be my girlfriend.”
I leaned
across the table and gave him a long and passionate kiss. I was sure that just
about everyone in the restaurant stopped what they were doing and watched. But
I didn’t care. Reese was officially my man and I wanted the whole world to
know.
“Come
on, baby,” Reese said. “Let me get you out of here so you can go ahead and get
to your next class.”
“Are you
sure?” I asked him. “You haven’t finished eating your food.”
He
looked down at his half eaten tray of food. “It doesn’t matter,” he said. “That
kiss you just gave me can last me until tonight.”
I gave
him another kiss and we stood to our feet to leave. On our way out I gave Tasha
a look that told her what used to be hers now belonged to me.

I
flipped through the thick stack of notes in my hand, trying to sort out the
definitions that I didn’t know so well in order to go over them more. I’d been
sitting backstage for hours, trying my best to tune out the fuzzy microphones
and thumping speakers that were part of Reese’s show. I tried to show him a
little bit of support earlier by standing in front of the stage so that he
could see me. But all of that noise gave me a headache, so I retreated back to
my original location. It was almost two o’clock in the morning and I was
exhausted. I just wanted to go home, take a nice hot shower, and get in the
bed.
Adam
walked in. He looked tired, and he had sweat dripping all over him. The lights
from the stage were bright and hot. All of the dancing and shouting on stage
had drained him.
“Can you
pass me a towel?” he asked, pointing to the stack of towels on the table next
to me.
I passed
him a towel and one of the bottled waters from the cooler on the floor.
“Thanks.”
He
chugged the water down with almost one swallow and wiped his face.
“Are you
guys almost finished?” I asked.
“Yeah,”
he said. “Reese on there doing his last set.”
More of
Reese’s entourage walked in, all dripping with sweat.
“Let’s
go on ahead and start loading the truck so we can get outta here,” one of them
said.
The room
filled with chatter about the after party they were all in a hurry to get to. I
was glad Reese already agreed not to go. I was ready to go home.
Adam
turned to me. “You gon’ help us out, Anaya? Or are you just gonna sit there
looking pretty?”
“Ha,” I
laughed aloud, standing to my feet. “You’re funny.”
Just for
kicks I decided to give him a show by twisting my hips and flicking my hair as
I walked across the room. When I reached the door I turned to see if he
watched. He did.
I walked
out of the room and back to the front where the show was. Reese was on the stage,
walking back and forth, speaking into his microphone.
“I got
something for the ladies,” he said.
The room
filled with applause and screams from all the women enjoying the show. Most of
the men walked to the back while the women ran to the front, all trying to get
closer to my man.
“How
many of y’all wanna be my lady?” he asked.
The
girls whooped and hollered, trying to be the loudest one in order to steal his
attention.
“How
about you?” he asked, pointing to one of the girls in the crowd.
She
jumped up and down and yelled, excited.
“Do you
wanna be my lady?”
She
nodded and threw her arms up in the air.
“I been
seeing you watching me, girl,” he said. “Haven’t you?”
“Yes!”
she shouted. One of the spotlights from the stage landed on her.
“Come on
up here, girl,” he instructed.
She ran
onstage as fast as she could.
I gave
her a review. She was dressed in a short black halter mini dress that looked
like latex, it was so tight. She wore a pair of black stiletto heels and a
single slick flowing ponytail that went halfway down her back. She was the only
girl in the room that almost had something on me. Her outfit made the cut off
shirt, hot shorts and pumps I
