7 Chapter Seven

"Um Maria we are going to six flags, put on shorts, its windy out. That skirt is going to be flapping like Marilyn Monroe." Savvy mentioned as her crazy friends came in the living room looking like they were going dancing.

Maria had on a pink halter top dress and some pink sandals. Her hair was pulled back into a bun and earrings dangled from her ears like crystals. She looked pretty but way to over dressed for six flags, and those heels were going to kill her feet after a while. This was an enormous amusement park, not the Ritz.

"Girl, no, I'm trying to make a good impression. After that stunt we pulled. I'll be fine and if a little ass shows... let it show. You should at least wear a dress."

Savvy looked down at what she had, simple dark blue shorts and a grey tank top, On her feet were sensible grey and black Nikes. Her own hair was pulled back into a ponytail and her bangs were almost in her eyes. She was comfortable, and she was prepared to walk for hours. Maria looked the opposite.

"I'm comfortable," Savvy replied, laughing.

"You promised to loosen up, Savvy," Maria stated, hands on her hips.

"I am. I love six flags I plan on riding everything, and eating turkey legs, funnel cakes, and plenty of ice cream and cotton candy." Savvy said. "But you couldn't pay me to wear a dress there. Good luck."

"Whatever," Maria said, twisting up her lips.

To tell the truth, Savvy was a little scared to see Tyron after that kiss and the conversation that followed, but she was prepared to act as if nothing had happened. She was basically going to make sure she was not alone with him. That was the plan. They had agreed to be friends, so she was going to be friendly.

However, that plan was squashed when Tyron and Tory pulled up in two different cars.

"Why can't we just ride together." Savvy asked, wringing her hands.

"I plan to take Maria somewhere after the park, a little alone time for us kids." Tory spoke up.

Damn, Savvy thought as she looked towards Maria and caught her delighted smile. So much for staying together. Oh well, and the band played on. Savvy wouldn't ruin her best friends' fun just because she was tripping.

"O... K then lets get going, it's a nice ride." She said, going towards the cars.

"Not really. Once we hit the highway, we'll be there in less that twenty minutes." Tyron said.

She hated the way his voice could send shivers down her spine and butterflies in her stomach. Savvy looked him up and down and once again was surprised that they had thought alike. He had on cargo shorts, a white tee and white Jays. Okay, so he was in his comfy zone, too. As much as she didn't want to admit it, he looked good at just about everything.

"You look nice," She said, surprising them both. Did She really just say that?

"Thanks." He cleared his throat and opened the car door for her. "You look... sexy as hell. Don't I get a kiss?"

"Not yet, save it for later," Savvy shot a glance at his brother, who was helping Maria get in his truck. She knew she should, at least for his benefit, but she just couldn't bring herself to take part at the moment, not when her heart wasn't beating right. She caught his surprised look and hopped in the truck, smiling, a little pleased with herself for avoiding that situation.

He climbed in next to her and tuned in the station on the radio. One o four point one was rocking, playing an old Avant hit, 'lie about us,'. She loved this song. It was just sad that they had to hide their love, like the old school secret lovers. She swayed with the music and sing softly.

Tyron laughed softly, shaking his head.

"I know I can't carry a tune, but I love this song. Don't tell me you don't like Avant, he's like the young R. Kelly and he can sing his ass off." She said, laughing.

"I don't disagree but you don't see the irony in that song and us the whole lying about us thing." He said off handily,

"Yeah, I feel you." She said.

"You know people only say that when they have nothing else to say." He said after a beat,

"Whatever, so six flags should be fun," She said," I mean I haven't been in a while and I can't wait to get on all the rides and eat as much junk food as possible."

"Excited much," he asked?

"Hell yeah, it always brings out the kid in me." Savvy rubbed her fingers together, as she wondered how many rides she could make everyone get on.

"Me too," he said with that sexy smirk she liked, "So this should be fun maybe I'll get to see you let loosen up a bit and if not maybe ill get to hear you scream."

It was becoming a trend; she thought. Everyone was telling her to loosen up. It was feeling like they were right. "Maybe." She said..

"Naw, I'm betting you're a screamer, and you love it." He said suggestibly.

"As a matter of fact I am, just like you." She shot back..

"No way, I'm a man." He said puffing out his chest, "We don't scream."

"Okay, whatever, anyway," Savvy rolled her eye, "I get on all the rides. And play all the games, I bet I beat you in basketball."

"Girl, you are looking at a pro." He said, very sure of himself.

"Yeah.... right."

They arrived at the park, and once they were in Savvy went straight to the funnel cakes. Then the turkey legs before she realized everyone was looking at her, laughing. "What?" She said, mouth full of funnel cake.

They all shook their heads and kept walking. Then she felt an arm go round my waist and froze. "Where do you put it all?" Tyron asked.

She hunched her shoulders because she couldn't seem to find her voice. She could smell his aftershave, his cologne mixed with gain detergent. His body heat warmed her. He moved, keeping her in front of him, walking to catch up with the other couple. His hand spread like wild wildfire across her stomach.

"You ate like this that night we met to remember? Do you work out or something?" He asked. She knew he was checking her out.

She shook her head, still walking ahead with him all over her. She was glad that he couldn't see her face. Maria looked back from where she walked ahead with Tory and gave her a brief smile. She knew Savvy was uncomfortable and was not trying to help her at all. Such a good wing girl.

"She always eats like that don't trip, Savvy won't gain a pound, she will always be petite, even after she have all them babies she want." Maria said, smiling even more when she saw her glare.

Tyron let her go but grabbed her hand, walking next to her. He was smiling again, and Savvy knew he was about to ruin the wonderful silence she was enjoying.

"So you want a big family huh," he said looking down at her.

"Well, yeah, I like kids, and I was an only child. When my parents were gone, I had no one, well, except Maria and my granny. But I always wanted a bunch of brothers and sisters." Savvy answered, honestly.

"I can't argue," he agreed. "I want a lot of kids to, trying to beat my parents. So I need at least four, Two girls, two boys."

"That's nice and even." Savvy said, looking at him finally, to see she had his undivided attention. Just like that, the butterflies were back. What was it about him? It was quiet now, and as they stared at each other, she felt herself smiling. He was a major pieced of eye candy, and he knew it. Without thinking, she stepped closer, and he matched her step by step. Tyron licked his lips, and she bit hers to hold back the moan that threatened to come out.

"You need any help making them babies, just let me know." he whispered.

Savvy felt like her ovaries quiver. This Tyron was dangerous, but she was feeling playful so she said, "You trying to be my baby daddy?"

"Damn right I will,"

"Hey, you guys," Tory was saying, standing next to an aggravated looking Maria, "I done called to yawl like five times, love birds, lets get on the Mr. Freeze."

Savvy looked at Tyron, and his eyes danced into with excitement and lust. She smiled too. "Shall we," he asked, giving her hand a tug.

She looked up at the enormous ride and back at him. "Hell yes, and are you ready to hear me scream?"

"Hell yeah." he answered, licking his lips.

Five Hours later, two snow cones, ten rides and two bundles of cotton candy. Savvy found herself alone on the Ferris wheel with Tyron. He was looking at her and she was looking at the view. It seemed late now, and the sun was setting while the sky held onto the last of the light. Today had been a good day. Most of the time she had felt like she was out with friends.

There were times, though, when her eyes and Tyron's caught. Every time her heart would jerk or she would blush. Every time he looked at her, his eyes held a hint of hunger. She had felt the same. It was like intense foreplay, with no touching. Not that he had kept his hands to himself. He was always brief when he touched her, but it happened often enough for her to notice. Now she was trying her best not to jump him.

"So I guess I don't need to ask did you have fun." Tyron said to her back. "So what was your favorite part of the day?"

"It was pretty funny when your brother threw up, although I saw that coming. He was trying to hang with us." Savvy said laughing, Tyron joining in.

"Naw, he was trying to impress Maria." he said.

"Yeah, I guess so. I know he enjoyed all the fussing she did after he did it." She said.

"No doubt... I enjoyed your company... a lot." Tyron said slowly, as if he didn't want to frighten her.

Little did he know, the more time she spent with him, the more tolerable he was becoming. "Me too," She said, smiling at him.

He scampered over to her side of the cart. He leaned close and she could feel his cool breath on her neck when he said, "You enjoyed your own company?"

"Naw, you silly man," she said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "I enjoyed your company."

The last part was whispered. She didn't realize he was so close. This was dangerous territory, and she knew it. They were literally in a cage. There was nowhere to run. Still, her body was overruling her mind at the moment, and it had been so long since she had sex. There was no denying she wanted Tyron. The question was when and where? If he nodded his head, he would kiss her. And oh boy, did she want him to, she really did.

"You owe me a kiss, Savvy." he husked.

"I do." she said matter-of-factly.

"Are you planning to give me that soon?" he whispered.

"Kiss me then." she was wondering what the hell was he waiting for. If he said another word, she was going to lose it.

Slowly, he leaned away. He was shaking his head. What did that mean, she wondered? She was so confused.

"I told you, next time we kiss, you make the first move." Tyron said. When she didn't move, he asked, "Are you scared?"

The challenge was clearly present. Savvy didn't know if it was the sugar running haywire in her veins or the way he looked semi reclined against the bars. But she felt so daring and so wanton, that she smiled. Make the first move she would. She always got so lost in this man.

She closed the space between them and straddled his lap; he gulped and she could tell he was surprised. By the poke action down below, fully turned on. She put one hand on the bars behind his head and the other on his cheek. She leaned forward, still looking in his eyes until we were so close they were a blur. When she licked her tongue across his lip, he hissed and grabbed her closer.

Check and mate, big boy. First move made and then he took control, running his hands up her back, bringing her even closer, hips to hip and then he kissed her. And it was even better than before, maybe because she was now in it to win it. Savvy returned his kiss, letting go of the strung up feelings he was making her feel, She poured all the hot liquid from her system into his mouth, and when he groaned and deepened the kiss, She welcomed the tingle that started at her feet and slowly crept to her center making her hips grind against his in want.

He groaned and moved his hand to her hips, moving them himself, showing her what he wanted and oh sweet baby Jesus, she wanted it to. As he kissed his way to her neck, her mind filled with visions of white, silky sheets and a messy bed. Savvy in the middle and this man, this gloriously handsome man, kissing her from head to toe. It was so vivid she moaned and closed her eyes. She felt the cool air on her back and knew that her tank top was no longer on her body. His lips, now on my breast, were the most amazing thing in the world.

High above the ground, shorts still intact and her hips grinding into him, she came. Maybe she should say exploded. She moaned and groaned so loudly; she was sure the people in the next car heard her. He held her tightly while it happened, whispering things into her ear she didn't even hear, as she was so lost in pleasure.

He looked into my eyes and smiled that all-knowing smile. "That was amazing," Savvy said slowly, not really believing what had just happened. If he could that with clothes on, she wanted to know what he could do. Oh god, was she really thinking of giving him the goodies.

"I know," he said, kissing my neck, and rubbing my back. "That's a first for me. I mean, we aren't even naked." He laughed.

Despite her uneasiness, she realized she wasn't embarrassed, just shocked, so she laughed too. "Me to."

"Either you have a lot of pent up frustration or I'm one hell of a lover. Either way, my ego is super buff right now."

"Oh boy stop, it has just been a while," She said.

"How long?" he asked.

"A long time," she said. Emphasis on the long.

He groaned, sounding more like a growl, and licked her neck again, sucking hard; she started getting woozy with pleasure. How did he have this power over her? Why him, someone up there was enjoying torturing her.

"You should let me help you out babe, let me help remove some of that tension. I can give you what you need." he whispered. As he worked her neck, he started to unbutton her shorts.

Slowly, through the haze of lust, she crept back into herself, back to reality. Savvy jumped off Tyron's lap to the other side of the cart. Breathing hard, she looked at him and couldn't believe herself. What was she thinking? This rich playboy, who was only after her cause, he figured she was some type of hoe. She was a means to an end, a pawn to his king, and he made her feel things she thought he never would. She had to stay focused. If they had sex it would not be on a damned Ferris wheel.

Savvy bent and grabbed her tank off the floor and put it on, then leveled him with the death glare, "Naw sir, I'm good. If I need release some tension... I'll do it myself."

"There ain't nothing like body to body." he said smirking.

"To bad," she glared.

"What the hell is up with you, you run hot then cold, seductive then innocent. Just remember you started it this time. So don't throw the guilt trip on me." Tyron yelled.

"I know that," She yelled back and then whispered, "Shit! I don't want to have sex on a public ride, okay."

"It's not bad to want someone Savvy and damn it I want you, I have since I first saw you. Anytime, anyplace. Not because you are some stripper. I have gotten to know you and I really am feeling you, but if you don't want nothing to do with me, then say it now and I'll keep my hands to myself." Tyron said calmly, hand up in surrender.

Savvy looked out the cage. They were close to the end of the ride. She looked at him and said, "I didn't say that. I'm woman enough to admit what I want. Yeah, I might want you, but we both know this won't end well. So there is no point in pursuing anything that is bad for me in the long run." Even as she said it, she felt like someone had squeezed her heart and let it go. His eyes shined with hurt and understanding.

"Cool, if that's what you want. Fine. So much for the perfect night," he said, standing and exiting. To her surprise, he waited and helped her down. Even angry he was a gentleman. Maria and Tory were already at the gate, waiting for them. Savvy looked away, hating the way they were all wrapped around each other. Apparently they had fun on their ride, too.

"So we're going to part two of our date. See you guys later." Tory said, his arms still around Maria. They walked away with a smiling Maria wiggling her fingers at them in good bye.

Tyron walked away towards the exit, and she followed behind. He opened the passenger door without a word and closed it when Savvy got in. He drove silently, not even turning on the radio, straight to her house. When they got there, she wanted to say something, to apologize, to say she didn't mean it, that she loved how he made her feel. The words never left her mouth, and when he let her out of the car, he didn't even look at her. Instead, he looked at something over her shoulder.

"You're moving in tomorrow. Make sure you're ready at ten a.m." He said sternly. "Now you better get inside I have to be going."

He stayed there till Savvy closed the door, then drove off like the devil was after him. She did the only thing she could at the moment. She threw herself on the bed and cried, cried alone because her only friend was off enjoying her life. Why couldn't she be more like Maria, she always seized the moment and jumped headfirst into almost anything? While Maria was her only friend, she had plenty, and she never missed an opportunity to fall in love. What was wrong with her?
