How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality?
Not that bad, right?
Right???

Nova Queen and Ari...
I was in the middle of dancing with my siblings, some cousins, new friends, and Maya when I felt someone poke me on my shoulder. I ignored it the first time because I figures it was just someone who accidentally did it, but then felt it happen again. I whipped around to see what the hell the person wanted when I was greeted by the most beautiful dark-skinned man that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
"REMI!!"
What the heck?!
He widely grinned from ear to ear as he watched my excitement increase. I couldn't help but jump into Remi's toned long arms and hug him as if I were Leonardo DiCaprio holding on to that door for dear life in the Titanic.
Being back in his arms felt so familiar and cozy. It was like he never left. His smooth and comforting scent still remained, and I couldn't help but rest my head on his chest to listen to that strong heart that loved me so long ago. Oh, to be loved by that endearing heart again.
I finally released my grip on him only to look up at his still handsome face to see him sweetly smiling down at me.
"Missed me?" Was all he had to say before I couldn't contain myself any longer.
I smiled, stood on my tip toes, and kissed the lips I hadn't, but yearned to on the most aching of nights.
Remi's lips were just as soft and supple like I remember. His lips tasted just like the Bert's Bees chapstick I remember from our last encounter.
It made me have a sudden and insecure thought of wondering who else had the pleasure of kissing those same lips that I had, in our time apart.
SHIT! I didn't even ask him if he was single! I'm just out here kissing him like he doesn't have a girlfriend. I can't believe I just did that.
I instantly and regretfully jump back from him and apologize profusely. Explaining that I didn't even think about if he was single.
All he does is chuckle and pull me back to him, linking his arms around my 28 inched waist and rubbing the small of my back with his thumb. He takes his right hand to bring it up to my face and softly stroke my cheek, bringing his lips crashing back down onto mine for another gentle kiss.
"I missed these lips," he said smiling.
"What are you doing? Don't you have a girlfriend?" I ask curiously.
"Why do you assume I do?"
"Uh, have you seen you? You a whole ass Chic fil a meal, my boy. Plus an extra-large waffle fry!"
Remi laughs at my need to compare him to food, knowing that's what I love.
"Nah, I'm single."
"Single?? How is that even possible?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, no one has scooped you up yet? You are literally the best man that I've ever met."
The tops of Remi's ears turn red from embarrassing flattery. He never could take compliments well and it seemed he still couldn't.
"You're so cute," I say smiling at him.
"I didn't date anyone for a year after you. And even after then, I only had a couple of girlfriends. Nothing too serious.
As Remi speaks all I can do is listen to the accent I had come to love. I didn't mean to tune him out, but I just got so lost in his voice. Memories of he and I come flooding back and I don't hear him at first when he calls my name, shaking me out of my trance.
"I'm so proud of you for gaining your second degree, Nova"
"Thanks, it took an abundance of work and I'm so happy that it's over. I can proudly say I have my masters degree and I feel like a total badass. Although, I must admit that I was one before that too."
Remi laughs at me and turns around, "Come on Miss Badass Masters, let's go party and make this a night to remember."

It was a night to remember all right. Remi made sure of that.
We partied our little hearts out with Maya and my other college friends. Everyone who I introduced him to loved him and he seemed to be enjoying himself.
After the festivities, we brought the party back to my apartment. A party of just two.
Delicate sweet kisses on my neck in my kitchen sent me into a frenzy. Remi backing me up against the counter to give me much needed stability. My knees were ready to give out and nothing major has even started yet.
"I've been waiting so long to be with you again. I need you Nova," he says.
"I'm right here waiting."
Remi smirked at me and proceeds to lift me onto the counter-top behind me, moving away any obstacles that would prohibit my comfort.
He moved my legs apart like he was opening a door and walking through. Kissing my neck and lips as he rubbed and gripped my thighs.
He started to nibble on my bottom lip as if to ask me to grant his tongue access, of which I gladly gave.
His hands left my thighs and made their way under my shirt to hold and squeeze me.
I start to hastily grab at his tucked in shirt and bring it over his head, stopping only to fiddle with his pants to get those off too.
"You're eager to get to me, huh," he says laughing.
"Most definitely! Gotta see if you're just as good as I recall," I say smiling slyly.
