When Our Paths Cross. (COMPLETED)

Intro; Chapter 1 & 2. UPDATED

“And that’s why I don’t like heels.”Cherry said watching Mya grabbed the side of the car balancing her herself. “Shut up the hell up Cherry. Why don’t you come over here, and help me before I break my damn ankle.” Mya hissed, making Cherry laughed and hold out an arm for Mya. “Y’all are too slow.  You sure you should have worn those shoes?” Rhonda eyed Mya’s heels notably. Mya glared crossly at Rhonda. Rhonda shifted her eyes elsewhere seeing she’d pissed her off.,“No need to get all bitchy Mya, I was only asking.” “Well don’t!” Mya snapped while Cherry tried to keep her standing.

Cherry took a seat, watching Mya and Rhonda start sorting through racks of clothes; pulling out skirts and tops. Cherry didn’t really desire to shop, when she didn’t need to. Cherry didn’t bother to glance to her left side as a provocative scent filled her nose. ,“Why are you sittin’ over here looking lonely?” A slight quiver found its way into Cherry’s spine, as a deep arousing voice touched Cherry’s senses. Cherry shrugged trying to stay tranquil, but on the inside her stomach was doing so many twist and turns. ,”I don’t know. I’m not a shopper.”  “Really? Why?”

Cherry felt the bench rock a little as he shifted into another position in his seat, his alluring voice seemly closer to her ear. Cherry swallowed nervously, trying to keep from looking at the face of the arousing voice sitting right by her. ,”I-I mean. I d-do, but just not today.”  “Oh. I hear you.” Rhonda suddenly turned her head getting ready to show Cherry a top, she’d pulled from the rack for herself. Rhonda’s facial expression completely transformed from a smile into a look of pure astonishment.. awe. Rhonda just looked plain memorized, her eyes shifted back to the shirt she was holding, pretending to be focused on the material, but she’d already started biting her lip.

Alright, What the hell..Cherry just look damn, it is NOT that hard. Rhonda did it. Cherry thought to herself as she let out a silent breath, before slowly turning her head to look at the stranger with the enticing voice. Her mouth went dry. He was very, very sexy. A blue cap sat on top of his head, slightly tipped to the right. His hair fell against his shoulders in a neat ponytail. His outfit on point; fresh white kicks and a sexy black button up, 3 of the top buttons left undone, taunting Cherry with his broad chest. Sex just radiated off of him, it was in his smile, his eyes. Cherry felt her throat dry out as she swallow. He smiled and Cherry felt her breath come out sharp almost choking her. She snapped her head back to her two best friends. You couldn’t stare at him for too long.

,”I’m Dante.” He said holding his hand out to Cherry, which she took hesitantly and shook. “Cherry.”Dante nodded his eyes boldy traveling around her breasts, hips and curves leaving her feeling exposed. “Cherry? That’s unique.” Cherry shrugged facing the other direction again. ,”I think it’s stupid, my mom ate cherries a lot when I was in the womb.”Dante let out a sexy laugh that left Cherry’s body stiff. “Damn, these rubber bands.” Cherry eyed him to see him pulling his hair off his shoulders and back into a neater ponytail. “You have some nice hair.” Dante smiled cockily at Cherry. ,”Shit. I know.” Cherry rolled her eyes turning to ignore him. Oh, so he was one of them kinda guys. “I’m just playin’ with you Cherry. Thanks for the compliment. Those your friends?” Cherry nodded watching Rhonda and Mya slide through the racks of clothes in front of them. “Yeah, that’s them. Where are your friends?”

 Cherry looked over at Dante as his tongue flickered out to lick his lips. “They over there watching me talk to you.” Cherry leaned forward a little. They were standing there in a circle, tryna act like they weren’t paying attention. Dante smiled. ,“Damn,don’t break ya neck tryna see what they about.” Cherry blushed and leaned back against the chair. ,”Why did you come over here to talk to me??” Cherry glanced at Dante, noticing he had some very innocent looking deep brown eyes. Dante looked at her face for a minute. ,”Shit, I mean.. You know. You’re cute and they told me you wouldn’t give me the time of day.”

 Cherry perched her eyebrow. ,”Why did they say that?” Dante shrugged. ,”They said you was one of them stuck up broads. No disrespect though ma.” Cherry shrugged it off. , “None taken.” Dante eyed Cherry seriously. ,” You seem real cool. Down to earth.”Cherry smiled. ,“Thanks.” Dante nodded. ,”Yeah, no problem.” His tongue flickered out wetting his lips again, causing Cherry to stare.

“So, Cherry. Can I hit u up?” Cherry looked at him confused. ,”What?” Dante laughed. ,”Can, I get your number?” Cherry thought about it. ,”Iunno.” Dante smiled,” It’s cool. I’ll just see you around??” Cherry nodded watching him get up. He was nice and tall too. “Bye Dante.” “A’ight, Bye Cherry” Dante walked back over to his friends. He just shrugged and they all laughed. Cherry  turned back around to see Rhonda and Mya coming over now. “Damn he is fine as hell.” “Who was that?” Mya said eagerly. Cherry shrugged.

“Dante.”

Cherry watched Dante massage her ankle. ,”You always doing something to yourself self.” He said delicately rubbing his finger tips against her ankle, making her wince. , “It wasn’t my fault.”Cherry said knowing it clearly was. Dante put the ice back on it.  ,”Bull-Shit.” Dante pulled his cell-phone from his back pocket answering it. “Sup?” Dante glanced over at Cherry already looking irritated. “Yeah, I’m over here.” Cherry propped her foot up on the pillow Dante held out. “Damn stop tripping Erica. I’m about to leave now. Man I hear you. I’M COMING! Man shut the fuck up.” Dante said before he snatched the phone from his ear.  All you heard was Erica going off.

 “You always at that bitches house! YOU ALWAYS OVER THERE! WHY AINT YOU NEVER OVER HERE. YOU NASTY ASS MUTHAFUCKIN’ BITCH” Cherry shook her head. Erica’s ghetto ass started tripping as soon as she got pregnant and had her baby. She thought  Dante was tryna be slick coming over to sleep with Cherry, but the only reason he came over was to talk and get away from Erica’s big mouth. Dante put the phone back up to his ear.”A’ight Erica. Bye.”  Dante  hung up picking up his keys. ,“Cherry, stay off your ankle. Stop letting people walk on you.” Cherry laughed. ,”Nobody walked on me. Somebody bumped into me and stepped on my ankle.”

 Dante laughed. “A’ight, I’m gonna go.” . “By Dante.” Cherry waved at him from the couch . Dante tilted Cherry’s head up a little, pressing his lips against hers in a quick kiss. Erica had a fit every time they kissed, but it didn’t mean anything. It was just something they made up to show love to one another. “Damn Cherry. You always have that sticky shit on your lips.” Dante’s face scrunched up in disgust as he wiped his lips walking over to the front door.

Cherry laughed, hoping on her good ankle to catch the ringing house phone while Dante shut the front door. “Hello?” “Girl it’s Rhonda. Mikes acting up again. Can I come sleep over?” Why did she move in with his manipulative ass anyway. ,”Yeah sure.” “ Okay. I’m about to come in like 30mintues.” “Okay, see you then.” Cherry hoped back over to the couch propping her leg up again, turning on the TV.

 Five minutes easily passed, and Cherry picked up her cell-phone hearing Dante’s ring tone go off. He’d set his own ring tone on her phone. It was; Chris browns: Wet The Bed. Cherry clicked the answer button on the screen of her phone. , “Hello?” Cherry felt disgusted hearing Erica’s moans against Dante’s grunts. The bed was creaking violently in the background. ”Oooh fuck Dante.. yes! Yes! YES!” Cherry felt her stomach twist in a knot before hanging up. He must have left his phone in his jeans, and dialed Cherry with his hip. Cherry laid back against the couch relaxing waiting for Rhonda.
