Tales From Sha-Hair-Azad:
These Walls Can Talk
By Najya Yasirah
Chapter 33: Mouth
Reyjah hugged Antoine goodnight. “I love you, Reyjah,” he said
earnestly. She had a hard time believing it. She was sincere in her own
feelings, but did he love her enough to give up his career? Should she
even mention it? Instead of opening her mouth to speak, she opened her
mouth to receive his tongue. His kisses made her insides melt and her
heart flutter. She would give him the benefit of the doubt. If not,
she’d just have to beat his manwhoring ass.
When he pulled away, he smiled. He looked into her pretty plastic blue
eyes. “Will you sing a little bit of that song?” He was talking about
“My All,” by Mariah Carey. “Haven’t I sung enough for you, today?” she
joked. “Please?” “No, don’t give me the puppy eyes….awww dammitttt!!”
Antoine gave her the wide-eyed look. “I am thinking of you/ in my
sleepless solitude tonight/ if it’s wrong to love you/ then my heart
just won’t let me be right/ cause I’ve drowned in you/And I won’t pull
through /Without you by my side….I’d give my all/ to have /Just one
more night with you/I’d risk my life to feel/Your body next to mine/
cause I can’t go on/Living in the memory of a song/I’d give my all/for
your love/tonight…..” Even when she sang softly, was voice was strong.
Every word from her mouth penetrated deep into his heart. Her
beautiful, brown face with those exotic, Angelina Jolie- like features,
were embossed in his brain. Even when he screwed other women, he
imagined that they were Reyjah. But he knew that manwhoring was his
only method of survival. His security, it seemed. Maybe she’d just be a
fling. Maybe she’d move away. Who the hell knew?
“Baby can you feel me/Imagining I'm looking in your eyes/I can see you
clearly/Vividly emblazoned in my mind/And yet you're so far/Like a
distant star/I'm wishing on tonight/ I'd give my all to have/Just one
more night with you/I'd risk my life to feel/Your body next to
mine/'Cause I can't go on/Living in the memory of our song/I'd give my
all for your love tonight…”
Reyjah looked deep into his eyes when she sang to him. He was the most
beautiful man that she had ever known…except her father of course.
Should she even start thinking of a possible future with Antoine? Nah.
Live every day. Whatever happens, happens.
“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow, Ant?” she said, as she unlocked her
door. “Yeah,” he said as he unlocked his own door. “Hey?” “Yeah?” “I
can’t stand your ass.” He chuckled. “After I was done with you, your
ass could hardly stand.” Reyjah laughed.
