Jewel Giroux: Neighborhood Watch

My hair was a mess. It was hot. And all this shit still wasn’t moved. I don’t know how or why I expected to be able to move my entire apartment on my own. It was safe to say I am an idiot. There was still half of a truck left and I had gotten the boxes no further than my entrance hallway. I should have hired movers, I said to myself, silently cursing my best friend and my soror for flaking on me last minute with lame ass excuses. They were hung over and didn’t want to deal with my fussing probably. It was quite alright though; I would not be cooking for them anytime soon.

I grabbed the box marked books off the truck. Little did I know it was heavier than it looked. Before I knew it the entire box is gone from my hand and I am on the ground, wincing in pain. Fuck this, I said to no one in particular. That’s when I noticed someone jogging in my direction. I tried to get up before they got to me but moving, the way my body felt was impossible. So I did all I could do, and lay there, completely embarrassed that I was about to ask a strange person to help me up because once again, Sovann wanted to play super “save a ho” and not hire movers to do this shit.

“Before you say anything, or offer to help me up, let me first say I am no damsel in distress Sir and I am capable of moving that box, it just slipped out of my hand” I could not see a face. The sun shone behind her and cast a shadow around her face as if they didn’t have one. My fresh cut bangs hanging a half inch over my eyes didn’t help either. I contorted to see the face of the stranger who was assisting me and was still unable to. The concrete on my driveway was scorching the back of my body through the wife beater and leggings I wore. Reaching out their hand, the stranger pulled my five foot four inch frame in one swift motion. My body, still off kilter from the fall, slams into my knight in shining armor. My stranger settles me on my feet and I notice softness that man cannot posses. Allowing my eyes to adjust I see her face. Taken aback, I gather myself and outstretch my hand toward my neighbor,

“Thank you so much,” I let the sentence linger, hoping she would fill in the blanks.

“Marlene. Marlene Reid. Saw you struggling and by the time I put the dogs in the house and came back out, you were on the ground. Are you alright?

“I’m fine. Thank you for coming to my rescue,” Marlene towered over me and I had to look up in order to look into her eyes. Granted I fit the African American and Asian characteristics of being vertically deprived but still, at five feet four inches, I was never caught dead with out heels of at least 4 inches on my feet. Even then, Marlene still had at least four to five more inches on me. Her skin was smooth and dark like melted chocolate, and her light brown locs, which looked as if they’d be kissed by sunlight, fell loose and free around her face. I smiled as I glanced over her sweatpants clad ass and Hanes t-shirt torso. I made my way back up to her face to find her watching me, watching her. I blushed and continued to speak “Let me get you a bottled water, you know for helping me off my ass a minute ago”

“I’m fine. Thank you though. Are you moving everything by yourself?”

“My helpers bailed on me and I have to have this truck returned by nine this evening or else the company will charge me for another day. I can’t afford that so, until my brother gets off work, yes it looks like I am moving this stuff by myself” I placed my hands on my hips and cocked my head to the side “what you think I can’t move this stuff by myself?”

Marlene grabbed her cell phone out the case it was held in and laughed. She dialed eleven numbers all while staring me directly in the eyes. I stood my ground, allowing her intense gaze to roam over my body, stopping a second longer at the slight cut in the top of my top to give my 34 C breast a little extra room. Sweat dripped from my neck and made its way down the slides of my breast. My jet black hair stuck to my body. The temperature seemed to rise as our eyes did this dance of seduction with each other. She broke the silence.

“Yo, it’s Len. Can you and the guys come over and give me a hand moving a new neighbor of mine. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Ten Four” I’d heard the ten four out before and I wondered what she did for a living. I waited patiently as she disconnected her call. “So who should I tell my squad they’re helping? You never told me your name.” I frowned, knowing that I don’t like to share things about myself, about my family or anything relating to who I am. There was something about Marlene though. She made me feel safe, secure around her. I looked back up to her face and held my gaze. She smiled and I noticed a dimple in her chin. My hand instantly went to her face and I stuck my index finger in her dimple and giggled.

“My name is Sovann. Sovann Pihn”

“You have a beautiful name Sovann. A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. I’m sure your name means something in your native tongue.” Marlene smiled

“Sovann means gold in Cambodian. My mother is from Phnom Penh, Cambodia and my father, a military man of course was African American.”

“I take it you’re a daddy’s girl,” She looked genuinely interested in who I was. This scared me and I quickly changed the subject.

“Who did you call? To come and help me move all this stuff? I really appreciate this. I guess I owe you huh?” Marlene pulled an empty cooler I had on the back of the U-Haul truck out and placed it between the two of us. She lightly grabbed my arm and offered me the seat. I looked at her confused and flattered at the same time. Chivalry does exist, I imagine.

“Sit” was her simple command. I listened and sat on the cooler. I watched Marlene sit on the street curb stretch her long legs and cross them at the ankle.  The sight of her body extended turned me on. Who were we kidding; I knew she was a lesbian. I wonder if she thought I was. Before I could finish my thought and she could answer my question a red and gold Ford pickup truck pulls into my driveway. A look of relief floods my face as I see four big men climb out the back and two from the cab of the truck. The driver comes over to where I and Marlene are sitting. He takes his huge cowboy hat off and shakes Marlene’s hand “Captain I got the guys who weren’t busy gathered up and we’re here to help in any way we can”

“Thanks Wilson. Mrs. Pihn…”

“MISS. Pihn,” I made sure I stressed the word Miss. How dare she assume I was married? “Please call me Sovann. Formalities are not necessary. Wilson is it?” I said extending my hand and giving him my biggest smile “God only knows how grateful I am to see you guys.”

“We’re happy to help ma’am.”

“ Sovann here had the bright idea of moving everything on her own. I came out here just in time to give her a hand. Boys follow her instructions and keep your foul language to a minimum” Marlene looked at me and winked. The way she took charge of the situation aroused me even more. I’d made up in my mind that I will have this woman in my bed… no matter how long it took.

Hours passed and the last box was placed in the house. I closed the door and slid down to the floor. I heard Marlene come from the back of the house. I tossed my hair into a lose ponytail and started laughing. “Who was I kidding? I was never going to be able to move this stuff by myself”

“Glad you finally came to your senses Sovann”

“I’ve not eaten all day. I’m starving. What’s tasty around here to order Marlene?”

“There is a great Thai place not far from here. We could order in”

“Great, just order me a Khao Pad Goong and umm,” I bit on my nail and thought about what else I wanted, “OH and Tom Yam” Marlene orders our food and I start to unpack the few plates I had from my old place. I lucked up and found a bottle of wine and remembered I’d purchased a six pack of Heinekens in the refrigerator. Our food came and silence passed between us as we ate. The air, the mood all felt so comfortable. I broke the silence cipher first,

“So, how much is this going to cost me?”

“I don’t understand” She looked confused

“You don’t just help folks move into their apartment for the entire day AND buy them dinner and not want anything in return” I folded my legs under me and leaned against the wall, facing Marlene. She threw her head back and took a swig of the beer. I watched her lips wrap around the top of the bottle, wanting desperately for it to be my throbbing clit. I struggled to concentrate as she subtly stuck her tongue into the bottle. The air in the room seemed to suffocate me and I let out a barely audible moan. I found my voice and managed to continue “so how can I repay you for everything you’ve done”

“Take your hair down Sovann”

I didn’t understand what she was asking and cocked my head to the side for better understanding. Marlene reached above my head and pulled the elastic band I had holding my thick black hair up out. She ran her fingers through my hair and my eyes closed instantly. The sparks from her fingers touching my scalp sent currents of electricity to my breast, making my nipples come alive underneath my wife beater. A low guttural moan escaped my lips as Marlene reached over, lifted me and placed me in her lap.

“I love the way your hair falls around your face. Please leave it down”

“Okay,” I barely whispered “are you going to tell me how I can repay you for helping me today” I struggled to keep my eyes opened. I could smell the barley and hops on her breath as she placed light kisses on my chin cheeks and neck.

“I could show you better than I could tell you” Marlene pushed me back on her lap as she took off my wife beater, exposing the thin lace material. I could feel the heat radiating off her middle. My mouth watered thinking about tasting her. I felt her hands slide up my back; unhook the flimsy material exposing my breast to her hungry eyes. I could feel her stare through to my back. I could feel the primal hunger through her fingertips. She took my hardened nipple into her mouth and sucked as if her reason for life was found between her mouth and my breast. Pleasure ripped through my body. I grabbed her head and pushed her deeper into my breast, playing with the other until she finished feasting on the one she was working on. Marlene pushed me onto the floor and swiftly removed my leggings. My female scent filled the air calling for Marlene’s tongue. She readily and greedily responded kissing down my stomach around my navel and into my pussy. Slowly kissing around my nether lips I panted, begged for her to take me, to take me all the way there.

“Please. I need to feel you inside of me. Please make me cum Marlene.”

Marlene granted my wishes taking my clit in her mouth she gently sucked on it at first, making me squirm underneath her mouth. I gyrated on her face pushing Marlene deeper and deeper inside of me. I was on the edge ready to commit ecstasy suicide. She kept me dizzy, switching between softly sucking on my clit to nibbling on it. I was ready for release and explicitly told her so,

“Shit I’m about to cum” as soon as the words leave my mouth, Marlene stops her feast and gets up “what the fuck” I say before thinking

Marlene takes off her shirt exposing small breast standing at attention, nipples erect waiting for my tongue. I jump up to stand with her and take her breast in my mouth flicking her nipple with my tongue. Marlene runs her fingers through my hair, pulling slightly exposing my neck and sucking on the tender flesh. She whispers in my ear “I want to fuck you Sovann. Can I fuck you”

My body tingles all over from the subtleness of her question. “Yes,” I say and reach for the top of her sweatpant yanking at them, ready to feel her inside of my waiting and needing folds. She slams me against the wall, the coolness of it causing my back to arch my jet black hair a crisp contrast against the starch white walls. I feel her sweatpants drop to the floor. I look down and find her strapped up already with the familiar tool “where did you find that?” I said slightly embarrassed.

“Shhh,” she replied while spreading my legs with her feet. Bracing the wall she holds my left leg up as she enters me filling me up in one swift stroke

“Oh god Marlene,” I feel her slowly retreat from my hole only to repeat pleasure filled cycle again and again. My pussy, wet with desire, swallowed the strap making gulping sounds, so thirsty for her. I felt my body on the brink of release. I didn’t want this feeling to end. Her strap leaving my body made me feel incomplete, empty.. “I need you baby. I wanna cum for you baby please” I begged for her. I pleaded for my release. Marlene picked my other leg up supporting me with her strong arms and fucked me hard against that wall. My body shook and I crumpled in her arms. Soon after I felt Marlene shake, curse under her breath and she too got weak. We slid to the floor and she laid me on top of her. Exhaustion from the moving and the great sex I’d just had found it’s way quickly as I rested my head on her chest. I listened to her heartbeat.

“Welcome home Sovann Pihn-Reid.”

I giggled.  “Welcome home baby. I love you” I said as I drifted off to sleep in my new house with my beautiful wife.
