the doors.
    “Thank you for carrying my things and walking me out,” Shanice said to me.
    “My pleasure. Look, I don’t know if I’d ever crossed your mind since that night at the club. I have been watching my phone daily hoping for a phone call, with an invitation just to spend a little time with you. I was kind of heart broken and my self-esteem is all messed up,” I said being a little dramatic at the end.
    “I don’t date,” Shanice said kind of going cold on me. I could see the shadows of yesterday’s hurts and pains chase across her face. My heart actually hurt for a moment.
    “Okay, can I be your friend,” I asked not giving up.
    “I already have a lot of friends. Look, this isn’t me playing hard to get. You seem like a great guy and I am flattered by the interest, but I just can’t.”
    “Why not?” I asked pushing the envelope just a little.
    “I am damaged goods. It took me a long time to put myself back together. I don’t want to put myself out there like that again,” she answered.
    “Look, I am damaged too; hell we all are if we are completely honest. I just want to get to know you better. Find out all of your little quirks. Your likes and your dislikes. I want to see you laugh and hold you when you cry. We can take it as slow as you need for us to take it. Just give me a shot?” I asked one final time.
    I had never really felt like this before. I want to know her story. I want to know what happened or didn’t happen to her that turned her into the woman she is now.
    I didn’t ask her because she has her walls ready to go back up at the first sign of anything uncomfortable. She was kind of like a wild horse that someone had tried to tame. When they couldn’t they turned to abuse. As soon as the thought crossed my mind I balled my hands up on either side of me. She wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore. I had to take a few deep breathes before I relaxed my hands again.
    Shanice sat there and let my words sink in. I took the moment to take in all of her facial features. She had beautiful flawless sable brown skin, her jet black hair was gathered together in a messy ponytail on top of her head.  Her eyes were the color of rich dark chocolate and she had such a serious face. During certain moments when she had smiled, her features had softened. She had beautiful full lips and straight white even teeth.
    She reached for a business card and an ink pen. She shook her head back and forth as she wrote her number down on the back of a business card.
    She handed me the card slowly and said, “That’s my personal number.”
    She was giving me a chance and I would do everything in my power to make sure that she didn’t regret it.
    “I will be calling you,” I said with a smile.
    “Good night D.C.,” Shanice said as she started the car.
    “Good night Shanice,” I said as she pulled out of the parking space.

    I am awakened from yet another night filled with erotic dreams. I lay back against the mound of pillows as the now familiar ache between my thighs began to dull. I could feel the dampness between my thighs and smell the scent of my desire in the air. I closed my eyes and vivid images of the dreams that I had been having flashed on the screen of my mind’s eye. It was always Darren and I. Our bodies doing a horizontal salsa. All of this is the result of one night of dancing, one passionate kiss, and one night with coffee and books. I craved that man, my body yearned for his touch. My eyes flew open, dating and giving my heart away wasn’t in the cards for me. This man could be lethal to my resolve. I threw the covers back in an angry gesture.
    I set the coffee to brew me a single cup of coffee. Then marched into the bathroom like a zombie and turned on the shower. I stripped down out of my pajamas and climbed into the shower. I smiled
