Selfish Acts

by Kimberly A. Henderson

Overview

When Childhood relationships are carried on into adulthood, sometimes it’s hard to remember why you were friends in the first place. Especially when there are secrets that not everyone knows about each other. Daniel considers himself a true friend to all, but he senses that there are times when Stacy is more receptive to Big Anthony. Even though they have all known each other since they were in grade school, Big Anthony and Stacy always have that certain connection that no one else can figure out. And with everything else going on in Daniel’s life with his on-again/off-again girlfriend Melissa, he feels like his opportunities for happiness are progressing slower than normal. Stacy has never been a true believer in “a lifetime of happiness”. Her views and ideals on relationships stem from an abusive home environment that she just cannot let go of. Men are disposable and love never means what people want it to mean. The only steady relationships she has had are her close nit group of friends. But only one of them truly knows all of the demons that haunt her. Big Anthony has been her closest confidant since high school, the only one she trusts with all of her past. But when she, Big Anthony and the rest of their friends are confronted with a devastating loss, and unforeseen circumstances, it takes all of Stacy’s courage, will and faith to see how much they all can overcome and move on from the past to the future.

CHAPTER 1

Stacy

The moonlight coming into my bedroom windows was the only romantic mood setting needed that night. The breeze flowing through the chiffon curtains cascaded like waterfalls, as the wind gently blew through the windows. The moon was shinning directly into the windowpane, and with the bed positioned cattycornered, it made it easy for the moon to cast our shadows on the walls. As I was encountering my "one night performance only" with Jeff, I stared at our silhouettes on the wall. I was in my usual position, on top and, in control. I had his hands above his head with mine holding them down. His facial expression was that of shear pleasure and pain as my nails was digging into his wrists; face was down looking at him. His eyes were shut tight as if he were making a wish. My hair was covering most of my face and my look, I know was of concentration. As I smirked while watching him, I could not help but tease him with my lyrics. "Tell me I make you feel good baby." "Damn baby, you know you do." He grunted. I felt him thrust his pelvis upward, that sent chills through my spine. "All I want to do is make you scream." Jeff half opened his eyes, and then frowned. He moaned again, another powerful pelvic thrust and another chill up my spine. "Tell me I please you baby." I bent down and bit his neck, ran my tongue up to his ear then, bit his ear lobe. "Please tell me I please you." This is what got me excited, my sensual words of pleasure. His body shuddered. I rose up, pulling my hair from my face then brushing it back. I arched my back and moaned. His hands immediately came up to cup my breast. Now that felt divine. I leaned over more to whisper into his ear. "Do what you came here for baby." Straightening back up, my hands covered his over my breast as I was riding his chocolate brown ass like I was from Pony Express. Jeff moaned again. "Shit you feel good." The more I looked at our shadows on the wall, the more excited I became. It was like watching a live porno show. Jeff began to thrust as I moved up and down with ecstasy. I was ready to go the distance, when all of the sudden the man just started screaming out my name. "Damn." I couldn't believe it. His body went rigid. He squeezed my breast as though they were utters and he needed a gallon of milk. This punk just came. I just looked down at him and stared as his eyes, still shut shook his head from side to side as though he was going into convulsions. Once again, I had to fake some type of excitement when he asked me if I "felt it". What I felt was gypped again. But how can I get mad when it was just a one-night-stand. I had no real intention of ever seeing this guy again. Therefore, you get what you pay for, and I didn't pay much. I collapsed on him as though he really rocked my world. I kissed his neck, lay for a few minutes, and then pulled up off of him. Jeff lay there with a stupid grin on his face. "Shit baby, a brother can get used to that kind of luvin." I rose up and sat on the edge of the bed stretching. "You want something to drink?" I asked. He tried to reach for me but I had already gotten up and reached for my satin robe. I turned to him and smiled. "I'll get us some juice, o.k.?" Then I walked out of the bedroom. "The bathroom is the door over to your left so you can wash off and towels are in the closet." I didn't even look back. I didn't even care. I walked through my living room, through the hallway, then to the kitchen. I flicked the light on and went to the refrigerator. As I stood with the refrigerator door wide open trying to make my selection of beverage, my insides were screaming for relief. My lower body was throbbing intensely. I rubbed my hand down past my stomach and stopped. I took in a deep breath, patting my private parts. "Don't worry; I'll take care of you in just a little while." After saying that I picked up two Sure-Fine orange juice bottles and closed the refrigerator door. My steps were slow and heavy. "How in the hell am I going to get this man out of here at this time of night." It was two-thirty Saturday morning. I had spent forty-five minutes giving this guy some good shit. Tantalizing, teasing, major pussy play and he couldn't even warn me that the fireworks were about to begin. When I got back to the bedroom, I stopped and looked over toward my bed. Jeff was still laying there with the sheet half over his body and one leg propped up. He had all of the pillows under his big head along with his hands. That smile he gave me was supposed to let me know round two was about to begin, I guess. "Come on and get back in the bed baby. Why don't you show me some more of those tricks?" (Mother-fucking rabbit, tricks are for kids.) I smiled that sultry smile. Walked over to him as though we were about to embark on a wild adventure. "Baby that's all I been thinking about." I handed him his juice. "Just let me get another wrapper for your present." He moaned while I felt like I wanted to puke. For some reason in the light, he wasn't as handsome as he was in the dark. Eyes too close together, that has to be a sign of craziness. His hands were huge, but like they say, another myth bites the dust. Nice chest but hair like a Gorilla. I bent over to my end table where I keep my stash of condoms, pulled the drawer open, looked at my healthy supply. "Damn Baby!" I slammed the drawer closed. "I'm out of protection." Maybe if he thought I was out of condoms that would take care of round two, so I plopped down on the bed exasperated. I turned to him with that look of utter disappointment. "We can't do this without condoms." I leaned over and stroked his face. "We're going to have to put it off until I restock." Jeff looked at me as if I were talking Klingon. "Baby I know I don't have anything, and I'm sure you don't." What the fuck is he getting ready to suggest? He moved over close to me and put his hand inside my robe, down to my secret garden. "I know we can trust each other." He began rubbing me soft and gentle. I closed my eyes and moaned. This was wrong. I shook my head. "No condom, no sex." My breathing became erratic. My mind was wandering off to that dark place where logic doesn't exist. I kept trying to fight that feeling. "Jeff, we can't do this." His mouth moved to my left breast. Damn! Not the left one. I'm sinking. He kissed the nipple, and then gently tugged it. I grabbed his head trying to pull it up. Somehow that just did not work. "I'll pull it out before I cum." He was already pushing me down on the bed. In my mind, I knew that what I was getting ready to do was insane. I had just met this man five hours ago. How could I have had sex with him, and now getting ready to have UNPROTECTED SEX? He pulled my robe belt loose. Slowly, he circled my nipples with his tongue. "Jeff, no ... we can't ... oh ... do this ... ohhh ..."

* * *

The morning after still left much to be desired. I stared out of my bedroom window, waiting for Jeff to wake from his slumber. I turned to look at him, all sprawled across my bed as if he belonged. That sick feeling in the pit of my stomach started to surface. What the hell was I doing? Why did I give into this man a second time last night when I wasn't satisfied the first time? And why in the hell did I not pull out a condom when we started getting' busy again. Why did I have to perpetrate that lie? A chill ran over my body.AIDS. Was the sex that good that I just couldn't stop? Just because he said, trust me. What the hell was I thinking? It's bad enough I couldn't remember what he said his last name was, but to not use a rubber was damn stupid. I sure couldn't tell my girl Amanda this. She already has her stuck up opinions on my lifestyle. Rustling came from the direction of my bed. God I hope he's ready to go. I looked back out of the window. There was hardly any traffic on Broadway. It was going on ten o'clock. I had things to do today,
