from worrying about what she wore or where she was going, then she planned to fuck him till he was speechless!
THE PERFECT NIGHT
C hloe couldn’t figure out why she was so nervous. Tonight was the night she would finally make love to Trey, and she was feeling an odd sense of excitement and apprehension that she had never felt with other guys. This was different. She knew in her heart that if the sex with Trey was good, it would be the icing on the cake. Trey treated her perfectly, intrigued her, and spoiled her. If tonight went well, she might be willing to be his completely. For the first time, Chloe was ready to fall in love.
After he had helped her mourn the loss of Jason in her life, Chloe felt more connected to Trey than ever. He had been sogentle, so understanding, and so patient. And she felt that he had finally earned her complete devotion.
He came to pick her up outside her house and sat there for twenty minutes, waiting for her to come out. As she walked toward the car, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Chloe wore a short and backless black dress and black Mary Janes. She climbed inside, leaned over, and kissed him.
“Look at you,” he said.
“Thanks!” Chloe hoped her unexpected nervousness would subside soon. She couldn’t seem to shake it. They made the short trip to his place and held hands as they walked inside the building. Chloe couldn’t help feeling disappointed that they weren’t going to dinner at some new hot spot. She wouldn’t have bothered to get all dolled up if she’d known they were only going to get right to the point.
They rode the elevator in silence from the parking garage to the fifth floor. Once they reached his apartment door, he unlocked it and they stepped into his home. Chloe saw roses by the dozens all over the place. They were every color imaginable, scattered throughout his place. Some were in vases around the apartment, while the petals of others were scattered across the floor. There were candles lit, and several feet away, she could see a table set for two.
“Wow!” she exclaimed, holding her hands over her mouth in amazement. “You did all of this for me?” Her disappointment faded.
Trey smiled shyly and ushered her into the living room. Shenoticed how empty his apartment was. The crisp white walls and clean floors were the centerpiece, it seemed, peppered with only a small number of items. Stacks of videotapes were piled next to the wall unit by the floor, and she paused, frowning. “VHS tapes? Those went out with the Jheri curl.”
“Oh, those? I’ve had those for years.” Trey seemed a little embarrassed that she’d noticed them, and Chloe dropped the subject. She hadn’t meant to make him feel uncomfortable.
She saw a large television in the corner, but noticed no cable box, no DVD player. She wondered what he did for fun in the absence of all these things she couldn’t live without. But not wanting to embarrass him further, she kept silent about it. He showed her to the kitchen, where several dishes sat atop the stove. He was cooking salmon, wild rice, asparagus, and dinner rolls.
“Damn,” she said. “You can cook all of this? I can hardly scramble eggs.”
Trey laughed, and showed her the Patti LaBelle cookbook he’d studied all evening as he prepared the meal.
Chloe laughed, too. “Oh, okay. I feel better now.” Silence fell between them, and Chloe figured that Trey was just as nervous as she was. She thought it was cute. “Can I use your bathroom?” she asked.
“Sure,” he said. “Let me show you where it is.” He walked her down a short narrow hallway and directed her to the bathroom. She stepped in, peed, and washed her hands. She left the water running and, just out of sheer curiosity, looked in the medicine cabinet. She found the usual contents. A tube of toothpaste,some Band-Aids, Robitussin. Then she noticed a half-empty bottle of pills with no label. She wondered what they were, so she opened the bottle
