Chapter Nine

Sierra Rogers

After calling Dwayne, we started hanging out. We would go out to eat, we went to the movies a few times, and he went to his house. It was hard adjusting being around another man, but as time went by, I started opening up to him. He made it easy on me; he wasn’t pushy. The first time we kissed, I was the one that initiated it. The more time I spent with him, the stronger my feelings for him started getting.

“So we’ve been hanging around wit’ each other for a while. Where do you plan on taking this?” he shocked me one evening while we were chilling.

“Huh? I don’t know. I’ve been thinking the same thing, but I didn’t want to come off pushy or thirsty.”

“Nah, I’m definitely feeling you, and I love spending time with you. I think it’s time we make it into something greater.”

“Hmm, I love the sound of that.”

I reached over and started kissing him to seal the deal. It really feels good that a man was feeling the same way I was feeling. After Alijah, I was so scared, but I think Alijah would want me to move on with my life. I mean, it’s damn near twenty years now.

Dwayne and I became an item. I loved spending quiet moments with him. He was so attentive to me and my needs. It was like a breath of fresh air. I said I wasn’t going to date another street nigga, but Dwayne was different. I ain’t gonna lie, that nigga had me feeling like I was in my teenage years all over again. From the flowers delivered at work, to the late-night fuck sessions, he made it easy for me to fall for him. The crazy part was, I knew I was falling head in, but I didn’t want to stop it. I never thought I could ever feel like this again, but he woke up something inside of me.

“Somebody around here is glowing,” Jeanette said as I walked in the living room.

“Lady, what you talkin’ ’bout now?” I gave her a strange look.

“Mmm-hmmm. I think you’re in love,” she said and turned back to watching the TV.

“You can tell just by looking at me?”

“Shoot! Even Ray Charles’s blind ass could see that shit,” she laughed out loud.

“I ain’t goin’ front; I really like him.” I stooped down beside her on the couch.

“Hmm, and who is this ‘him’? Whoever he is, he must be special. You been on cloud nine for ’bout a month now.”

“You’ll meet him soon. Ma, I mean, Jeanette, he’s so different. He makes my heart skip beats, but sometimes when I remember Alijah, I get so depressed.”

“Sierra, you deserve happiness. Alijah been gone, and one thing I know, he’d want you to move on wit’ yo’ life. I watched you for years beat yourself up. Let it go. You was Alijah’s heartbeat, but he’s gone. Baby girl, allow yourself to start living again, not just existing.”

By the time she finished speaking, I was bawling my eyes out.
