It was around 9.10 pm when Yinka decided to call it a night. She quickly picked up her dress from the floor. After all, Taiwo was dead asleep on the bed. As she was going down the lift, Yinka was wondering what the hell took her to Taiwo’s apartment in the first place. She knew the sex wasn’t great and even if sometimes the boy was able to put up a little show, he was very arrogant and vain.

9.30 already? Shit! Yinka ran to her Mercedes. It is not easy to balance Versace stilettos in the middle of Central Park, New York City. The street tends to be a bit rough. Still, she was able to get in the car without falling. “Now, where to?”, she asked herself. It was too early to go home and too late to call her girlfriends to meet up downtown. Well, she said to herself, “I guess I am riding solo tonight.” As she was driving along Fifth Avenue, she noticed a very nice bar, Riddims. She had never seen it before. “It must be the bar that Akila was talking about during lunch”, she thought.

She pulled over at the valet parking. Before coming out, she made sure her hair and makeup were on point. Women of these days could be simple but Yinka was always looking fly and this night was no exception. As the valet opened the door of her car, Yinka was making proper adjustments to her military green dress. She said, “Oh sorry sir, it is always a nightmare to get hold of my bag…oh…there it is.” She could not help but notice that the valet was checking her legs out; she has been hitting the gym hard lately.

The place was nice but surprisingly, it was empty. She shouted, “Damn it. Why is it that such cool places are always empty?” After spending just a few minutes, she stepped out, picked up her car and drove down to the nearest Starbucks. She got out of the car, got in the shop and ordered for a cappuccino. As she sat down, she got a call from Taiwo.

Taiwo: Hello Yinka, why did you leave? I am missing you…

Yinka: You always do Taiwo, especially when your prick is hard. Taiwo, I can’t do this anymore.

Taiwo: What do you mean?

Yinka: This is not what I am looking for…

Taiwo: Baby, this is what you asked for. Friends with benefits…Why are you changing your mind now?

Yinka: I am not changing my mind Taiwo. This is not just fulfilling anymore. We will talk later, ok? Bye.

After the phone call, Yinka said to herself, “This is what men fail to realize. In a relationship, one person always wants more than the other. I have come a long way in my life just to put all my hopes in a relationship.” As she meditated on her life with her head bowed, she noticed a curvy figure approaching. “Excuse me”, said a soft female voice. Yinka lifted her head just to see this gorgeous looking blonde girl. “Yes? How may I help you?”, Yinka said. She said, “My name is Ashley. I’m sorry but I couldn’t help but notice your dress.” “Oh well, I am a designer here in New York and this dress is part of my new collection, Temptation”, said Yinka with a smile on her face. “Do you mind if I sit?”, asked Ashley. “Please feel free”, Yinka said. Ashley sat down and said, “Was that your boyfriend you were talking to?” “No, not really…I mean, I have known him since I moved to New York and we sort of have an open relationship”, said Yinka. Ashley responded, “Men, men, men…they are the most complex beings I have ever seen.” “I agree with you Ashley. There’s something about them that I am yet to understand. To be honest, sometimes I wish women were the only species”, Yinka complained. As the evening went on, Yinka and Ashley were having a nice conversation. It seemed like they had a lot in common. Ashley was a successful single lady in her late 20s. She owned a bakery and a hair salon in downtown NYC. Yinka on the other hand, was a recognized fashion designer.

“Oh my! 12 am. Ashley, I think I have to get going” said Yinka while glaring at her wristwatch. Ashley replied, “I was thinking that we could go to my apartment and have some drinks. I have a bottle of Remy Martin waiting for me in the fridge. We can share it if you want.” Yinka agreed to follow Ashley to her apartment. After all, Remy Martin is not something you say no to. As Yinka arrived at Ashley’s apartment, she received a call from Taiwo.

Taiwo: Yinka, I want you to come back here. I really need you.

Yinka: Taiwo, I really need to go now. Bye.

“Is that your boyfriend again?”, asked Ashley. Yinka sighed and replied, “He is not my boyfriend. We just have a casual bond.” Ashley and Yinka went up the lift. It was already 1 am and the only thing Yinka wanted was to hit that Remy Martin, get a little high and drive back home. “Make yourself comfortable Yinka. The remote for the flat screen is here and the remote control for the audio is right next to my iPod” said Ashley, as she put the bottle of Remy Martin and a glass cup on the center table. Yinka decided to play some music. As the music was playing, Yinka was feeling the beat. She reached out for the bottle and glass cup that Ashley put on the table. “Yinka…excuse me a bit, I want to wear something more comfortable”, said Ashley while walking towards her bedroom. Yinka poured a generous amount of Remy and started sipping it slowly. “Wow, this drink is amazing”, said Yinka. “Really?”, said Ashley, wearing a short purple Victoria’s Secret Babydoll. Yinka was not used to seeing her friends in underwear but that Babydoll revealed Ashley’s voluptuous figure. She had a smooth and fresh skin, and her thighs were thick. Yinka was already feeling a bit relaxed and before she knew it, Ashley started kissing her neck. Yinka said, “Ashley, are you a …” “shhhhh”, Ashley cut her off romantically. At the beginning, Yinka was a bit resistant but then she realized that she wanted this to happen right from the moment she met Ashley. Yinka laid on her back as Ashley caressed her breast. Ashley licked her body, from her nipples, to her belly button and further down till she reached her clit. Yinka had never experienced this feeling, not even with Taiwo. It was like she wanted it, but at the same time, she knew it wasn’t right. After a couple of minutes, Yinka climaxed. Yinka then reached out for another glass of Remy. She was not willing to stop there, her body was asking for more. “Have you ever done it in the kitchen, Ashley? Come, it will be fun”, said Yinka. They moved to the kitchen. The atmosphere was full of desire. “Sit on the counter and open your legs”, whispered Yinka, as she stock her finger in Ashley. Ashley felt great. Yinka kept on doing it until Ashley begged her to stop. “Let’s go to my bed”, Ashley said. The passion went on for hours and Yinka lost track of time. Suddenly, Yinka’s phone started to ring. It was Akila.

Akila: Where you at? The models are here. Don’t tell me you forgot that the fitting for fashion week was today.

Yinka: Shit. Akila, I’ll be there in 20 minutes.

“Are you going now?”, asked Ashley. “Yes, I need to step”, replied Yinka, while trying to get dressed. Ashley then asked, “Are you coming back later?” “I…I don’t know Ash”, Yinka said quickly. Yinka literally ran out of Ashley’s apartment. She was more than confused. She had never felt like this before. For the first time, she felt that her sexual appetite was finally satisfied.

After about 25 minutes, she met up with Akila. “Akila, I am so sorry. I completely forgot about today’, said Yinka sighing. Akila responded, “Babe, are you alright? You look tired..and why the hell are you wearing the same dress? Don’t tell me Taiwo didn’t let you go on time.” Yinka didn’t know what to say. She couldn’t tell her best friend that she had a one night stand with a woman. Besides, the worst part was that she enjoyed it. “Yeah Akila. You know how Taiwo is. Where are the models?”, Yinka said, as she tried to focus on what she was doing. She couldn’t stop thinking about Ashley though. She knew she wasn’t a lesbian but the feeling was overwhelming her. It was like she needed more…
