smirked
at his friends. “Man fuck all ya’ll, ain’t no bitch ever gonna whip me. This
was unchartered territory, though, I went where no man has gone before if you
know what I mean.” He regretted the words as soon as they passed his lips.
     “What?! You got a virgin ?? You lucky
muthafucka!” Jay screamed.
     “Look, will ya’ll get the fuck outta here now??” Amir
slammed the door in their faces.
     But on the other side of the bathroom door, Alexis
heard every word they said. Even though the whole purpose of last night had
been to lose her virginity, she had to admit, she'd really enjoyed being with
Amir. Not only the sex, but the person…or the person she thought he was. How
naive she was to believe him when he said he felt the same way and wanted to
keep in touch.
     You are so stupid! Alexis wiped hurt tears away
which threatened to fall from her lashes. She had to get out of there.
     “Lex…? Baby…? You haven’t fallen in have you,” Amir
called out with a laugh.
     Alexis nibbled on her fingernail. Think, Alexis.
Think...
     “Baby, I don’t mean to rush you, but I kind of have to
use the bathroom.”
     Alexis closed her eyes in relief. She quickly opened
the door, keeping her expression devoid of how she really felt. Amir smiled and
smacked her butt when he walked past her to get to the bathroom.
     “You better be ready, because we not leavin’ this room
all day.” His look was meaningful and intense.
     Alexis kept the shaky smile on her face until he
closed the door then quickly sprang into action, pulling her shorts and t-shirt
on. Grabbing her lacy panties and bra in her hand, she made sure she had her
keys and cell phone before dashing out the door. She didn't dare take a breath
until she made it downstairs. Luckily, her hotel wasn’t far from his. Alexis
ran and didn’t stop, praying that her friends were out. She didn’t feel like
facing all of the questions she knew they’d have for her.
     God must have taken pity on her because no one was in
the room. She grabbed her suitcase which was still unpacked and scribbled a
quick note and placed it in the corner of the mirror. She was hurrying towards
the door when her cell phone rang.
         Alexis panicked. Recognizing Amir’s
number, she hurriedly pulled on a pair of jeans and another t-shirt and rushed
out the room. By the time she hailed a cab and made it to the nearest bus
station, she was running on pure instinct. She blocked out all thoughts that
reminded her of  how stupid and foolish she’d been. On the ride home, dark
shades covered her eyes. She forced herself to think about finals and
graduation…anything to keep her mind off of the last twelve hours. She’d 
accomplished what she set out to do - lose her virginity. Now, she’d never have
to look at Amir's lying, deceitful, face again.

Chapter 7
         Sharon looked from Amir to Alexis, her
expression screaming out her confusion, but neither of them were paying
attention to her.
     “Amir...? Lex…? You two know each other?” Sharon asked
tentatively. It was obvious something was going on between these two; the
tension was so thick she could saw it in half with a knife. Her eyes flew to
those of her husband's.
          Do something, she mouthed.
     Soul cleared his throat. “Uh…Amir. What’s goin’ on,
man?”
     Alexis shook her head as if to rouse herself from a
dream. This couldn’t be happening. “I…I have to go,” she whispered to no one in
particular before turning around and making a mad dash through the crowd to get
to the door.
          Seeing her leaving spurred Amir
into action. He pushed his glass into Soul’s hand and ran after her.
"Alexis wait!"
     Alexis hurried towards her car, pushing the button on
her key to unlock the door.
     “Alexis!”
     She broke out into a half-run half-walk when she heard
Amir's voice behind
