  Samantha Reid

  “I can't believe that the fires were all instigated by people like these,” Samantha was furious.

  It had been a long day that she had spent at the scene and in the forensics lab studying some evidence that she had found. While they had been at the warehouse, Samantha and Robert had remembered a secret room where they used to play as kids. The room went all the way down to the river. They had decided to check it out, opening the hidden trap door and entering the room. It was a room that nobody had known about, or so they thought.

  “The moment that I saw you here, I knew that we are going to come to the bottom of this,” Robert held her tight as the police took away the consignment of drugs that had been found in the room.

  “But why did they have to burn the place every time they realized that there was someone here and they needed to get to their stash?” Samantha still couldn’t figure out.

  “I guess that’s something that the suspects are going to have to explain to the courts. It’s a good thing that we found them in the secret room,” he said to her.

  “Excuse me, detective, there is a gentleman who would like to see you,” an officer interrupted them.

  “Something related to the investigation?” she didn’t even bother to look at the officer, concentrating on the warmth that Robert's embrace was giving her.

  “I don’t think so, but should I let him through?”

  “Yes, Don, let him through,” she said to him as he stepped out of the room.

  Moments later, the door creaked open and when she turned to see who it was, she was shocked to see Eddie standing in the entrance.

  “Samantha, I was hoping that we could talk,” he said, coming to a stop when he saw the way that Robert was holding her protectively. “what the hell is going on here?”

  Samantha smiled broadly without leaving the embrace.

  “Hello, Eddie, you were the last person that I expected to see you here. I thought that I made it clear that you and I are no more,” she said to him.

  “Samantha, I think that you're getting confused. Why do you wanna break my heart?”

  “That is the very thing that you should have thought of before playing with your ex. I figured that revenge is a dish best served cold, and that is why I'm back with my ex if I can call it that,” she smiled at him, raising her head and kissing Robert on the cheek.

  Going Full Circle

  Description

  Shirley has a mad crash on a football player, Andre, but when she finally manages to get to him, she finds him with her childhood crush and realizes that they even know each other. She seduces both of them and they all find themselves over at Andre’s place after a party.

  Little does she know that the football player and the naval officer, Nate, have more plans for her than she had imagined.

  *****

  “Don’t tell me that you are going to the game after work?” Amanda asked Shirley as they shut down their computers.

  “Yes I am, and I think that you too should come and see what it’s like out there. There are so many hot men that you can choose from, just as long as you don’t choose my Andre,” Shirley said to her workmate and best friend. “What do you plan to do all afternoon anyway, and it is a Saturday?”

  “To tell you the truth, I don’t really have anything to do and so I think I might as well tag along with you so that I can see this guy that you are so obsessed about,” Amanda replied.

  “Now that’s my girl, I hope that you will finally understand why I am so obsessed with football,” Shirley said, pleased that she would have company today, since she usually went alone and at times it could get quite boring.

  Shirley Baine had been attending football games faithfully for a couple of months, and the main reason was because she had a very mad crush on the one of the rookies, Andre Walters. He was a tall handsome blonde with broad shoulders. From the physique of his body, she had pictured in her mind how he looked a million times. He had the sort of body that every girl dreamed of, and to top it off, he was also the best player for the Rockets, the leading NFL team of the season. She knew that he might never even set his eyes on her, but at least she could dream about him after watching him play. She had ventured many times to the locker rooms, but the security detail there was usually too strong to penetrate and she had given up.

  “I think I'll just do it out of curiosity because I don’t really understand how you could have a crush on a guy that does not even know you exist. You are a very sexy woman and maybe it is about time that you thought of getting yourself a boyfriend that you can actually get,” Amanda said as they began making their way out of the office.

  “I don’t think that you will ever understand what I feel, and hey, stop talking as if I will never get him, because now more than ever, you have given me the drive to gun for him,” Shirley said adamantly as Amanda laughed.

  “You are a crazy woman, Shirley, but even then, I still love you,” Amanda said as they got out of the building, standing on a pavement to wait for a cab.

  “Well, if you are my best friend then I suppose that you, too, are crazy,” Shirley said, waving a cab to a stop before they both got in.

  Shirley was, as usual, dressed in her sexiest clothes. She had on a pair of skin tight jeans that showed off her shapely figure, and a T-shirt that covered her down to her waist. She was wearing sneakers and sun glasses, and she had her handbag with her. Her friend, Amanda on the other hand, was wearing a sexy dress that hugged her body, showing off her assets, and it came down to midway down her thighs. She had on a pair of heels that made her butt stand out in a good way.

  Both of the women were in their early twenties, and they had met when they began working together at a law firm, where they both happened to be budding lawyers. They had instantly clicked and bonded, becoming the best of friends within no time. They shared the same interests in most things, including their type of men.

  “Think we should grab a bite before we get to the stadium?” Amanda asked.

  “No, there won't be need for that because there are several food courts there,” Shirley could already feel the excitement of the game starting to overwhelm her.

  “So, how did you create such an interest in football, anyway?” Amanda asked as Shirley tucked a loose blonde lock behind her ear.

  “Danny, my b
rother, he was a football fanatic when we were in school. Being my only sibling, I always went with him to games or to watch him when he was playing,” Shirley said, remembering the good old days.

  “You don’t say,” Amanda said, her eyes widening slyly. “Then that means that he must have one of those awesome looking bodies. When are you going to introduce me to him?”

  “Shirley, what has gotten into your head, he is my brother and it would feel very awkward if he started dating my best friend,” Shirley said, punching her best friend playfully in the side.

  They went the rest of the way in silence with Shirley thinking about her dream man. Andre was the only other man that she had such a mad crush on other than her childhood crush, Nate Brinks. Nate had been a few grades ahead of her in school and had been a friend of her brother’s. Whenever she saw him, she would feel her blood boiling within, something within her stirring.

  When they had gone to high school, Nate had become even more handsome and all the girls in school seemed to have a crush on him. He probably did not take notice of Shirley because her body took long to develop. Her breasts did not grow as quickly as the other girls, and her figure also did not pan out as quickly as she would have liked. As soon as he had graduated from high school, he had joined military school and she had not seen him for quite some time now.

  To get her thoughts off him, she had put her sights on Andre even though they had never met. If she could get her brother Danny to introduce them, she would never look back again.

  “You know what,” she said to Amanda, “I just got an idea.”

  “Okay, what is your crazy idea this time,” Amanda asked.

  “What if I call Danny and ask him to come to the game, since he is around. That way, he could introduce me to Andre-”

  “While you introduce me to him. I think that is the brightest thing that you have thought of in your life,” Amanda brightened up.

  Before Amanda could finish talking, Shirley had whipped out her cell phone and was dialing her brothers number.

  “Hey sis,” he said lazily on the other side of the line.

  “Hi Danny. What are you doing? I was thinking that maybe you would like to join my best friend and me at today’s football game,” she said, her heart pounding hard.

  “Well, right now I am a little held up, but I know that there will be a party held for the players later on. Maybe we could hang out together then. Is your friend hot because I could really use a bang tonight?”

  “Danny, you are such a nut. Anyway, we will see you at the party then. Remember, you are the one that is going to give us access,” she said to him.

  “Sure, I'll see you guys then,” he said, hanging up the call.

  “Well, what did he say, I heard you mentioning something about a party,” Amanda asked quickly.

  “You will not believe this, we are going to party with the players tonight. Why don’t we go to the hair salon instead of the game? We will need to look our best,” Shirley said excitedly, tapping the cab driver and giving him new directions.

  *****

  Andre sat in the bar where the party was being held waiting for Nate to arrive. They had been friends a long time and Andre was glad that Nate was around to spend a couple of days in the city before heading back to his naval duties. He sipped on his beer as he thought about how the game had been. It seemed as if he was becoming better and better at the game and he was hoping that one of these days he was going to be picked as the MVP of the year. He was hoping to make the nominations when the time came.

  “Andre, why don’t you come and join us on the floor, there are so many hot women out there who would die for a guy like you,” Steve, one of the other players on the team said to him, but he shook his head.

  “Why don’t you go ahead, Steve, I'm just going to chill out here and look out for you,” he said to his friend, who quickly hobbled away to join most of the other players on the floor.

  Andre had never shown an interest in the women that he often came across, and that was not because he was not interested in women, but rather because most of them were very boring to hang around and also fake in every way. They had artificial breasts, noses, eyelashes and God knows what else, and they simply did not impress him at all. Andre was after a natural woman who loved her body the way that it was made. In this day and age, that kind of woman had become like gold, very hard to find. He also loved adventurous women who were willing to try out things that the ordinary woman would not.

  He was still trying to figure out women in his mind when he saw a familiar figure walking into the room. Nate seemed to have grown a lot more mature as compared to the last time that Andre had seen him when he had gone to visit him at Fort Harcourt the previous year. His hair was cut into a short military cut and his eyes were a seaweed green, slightly slanted as if he had some Oriental blood in him. Andre waved at him and Nate smiled as he began making his way towards his friend. Andre got up as Nate got to his table, and both men hugged like all time buddies.

  “It is so good to see you, Nate,” Andre beamed at his friend as he waved him onto a chair opposite him at the table.

  “And you too, bro. I thought that you would be married by now,” Nate said, as Andre waved to a waiter, who quickly brought Nate a beer. “I mean, look at all the hot women in here. I wish that you knew how dry it can get in the military. There sex is like treasure, and especially when you are deployed to God knows where. You should take full advantage of this.”

  “I understand where you are coming from, and believe me, I would really like to indulge with the women, but look at all of them. All of their breasts look like implants, and then another thing. They might be pretty, but they are very boring. Look at the way that they are dancing, nothing interesting about that. You can tell how they are by their body behavior, and to me that suggests that they are a very boring lot. Which finally brings me to the conclusion that if they are this boring right now, what if while we are having sex, what if they are boring there too. In my opinion, around 90% would let you do all the work while she just lies there like a rag. And that my friend is the reason why I'm probably still single,” Andre said as Nate looked at him thoughtfully.

  “Whoa, it looks like you have these women all pretty figured out, huh!” Andre said, taking a sip of his beer as he checked out the women around the room.

  Most of them were dressed in very sexy outfits, but he had to agree that Andre was right about them. Most of them seemed plain boring, and they were probably here because of the free drinks and biting at the invitation of some of the players.

  “I guess so,” Andre said as yet another flirt passed by their table shaking her hips from side to side, hoping that they would notice he.

  “Well, what else is new around here. I haven’t been here since my folks moved west and even though it was once my home, I feel like a total stranger?” Nate said, leaning back as he relaxed.

  “Nothing much really. Plenty of new faces in your old neighborhood. The place is actually pretty much relaxed and I wouldn’t complain,” Andre said, his eyes straying to the door as a pretty sight greeted him. “Mama mia, now talking of hot, check out the bombshell that has just walked into the club.”

  Nate turned and both men looked at the entrance as two women walked into the club. One of them looked very familiar, but none of the men could quite place where they had seen her. Andre began to think that they were alone, just before he saw Danny walking into the room behind them, putting his hands around their waists as he escorted them to a vacant table. For the first time that day, Andre felt a certain heat passing through his body and going all the way to his crotch as his shaft shifted in his pants.

  “Wait a minute, isn't that Danny?” Nate said, surprised to see his childhood best friend. “That was my classmate back in the day, and also my best friend when we were in school.”

  “Yeah, that is Danny, but I can't quite figure out the hot chicks that he is with. What I can figure out is that they are by far the hottest chicks
that I have seen in this city in recent years,” Andre said, swallowing hard.

  A round of drinks was taken to their table and Nate seemed to be having the time of his life, and especially with one of the women, the brunette. The blonde was not quite as active as the brunette, but she was far much hotter and the one that had caught both Nate and Andre's attention. Both of them watched speechlessly as Danny flirted with the brunette, while the blonde seemed to urge them both on. The blonde then got up after some time and headed for the bathroom. She passed by their table on the way and looked at them both, a strange look coming onto her face, almost as if she was either shocked or surprised.

  “I don’t know why she looks so darn familiar, but I just can't place my finger on where I might have seen her or who she might be,” Nate said, the scent of her perfume lingering in his nose as she disappeared around the corner.

  “Now, that is the sort of woman that I was talking about. Did you just see that, she is hot and everything about her is natural,” Andre said, resisting the urge to get up and go after her.

  “Well, one thing is for sure, I am going to ask Danny to introduce us, although he won't be too pleased since I just arrived back here and have not yet called him,” Nate said nervously as he took a sip of his beer.

  It had been quite a while since he last had sex and that was probably why he was getting so jumpy just looking at all the women in the club, and most of all the blonde that had just gone to the washrooms. He wondered why she looked so familiar to him, probably someone that he had known as a child, or someone that had been behind him when they were still in school.

  He felt his shaft shifting around in his pants and he had to adjust his pants. From the way that Andre looked, Nate could tell that he, too, was feeling the very same way, and it brought dirty thoughts to his mind. Since they were both admiring the same woman, maybe once Danny introduced them to her, they could both seduce her and go have a nice time with her. Just the thought made him start to become hard, a tent already building in his pants. They had shared women before and the experiences had been memorable. Nate remembered each and every experience when they had both been training for the navy, and many times he had wondered if it would ever happen again.
