I came back to school as promised Monday morning at four. Whoever said Uber is the way to go no one had to wait in a cold for forty minutes before an Uber driver showed up to pick them up. I attend all my classes and civil with my partners. When they start discussing hanging out I'm normally out the door before they can ask me. Feya is the only one I will smile and mainly talk to when we have meet up for our study halls as well as the only one I'll ask if she wants to hang out. Feya and Candy came to meet Yessica with me and we got to stay in a luxury Airbnb by the ocean side for our fall break. We watched All the After movies, 365, and Through My Window series. I also tell the girls about the frat hollows Eve party and tell them we have to go. Feya says we should dress up as a group and Candy rejects the idea to say she will be going as her usual cowgirl self. Feya and I decided a duo is better anyway. She wants to be a Velma and I'll be Daphne. We purchase our costumes and they will come this Friday before the party. Her phone keeps buzzing and she answers it with an irritated tone, "Yes, how can I help you. No I won't. Yes I will. No stop pestering. If you want to know text or call her yourself." she puts her phone on do not disturb after that. "Was that Damian or Ezikel?" Candy asks with no hesitation. "Damian bugging about how Nubia is doing." She says in a perky voice. She continues in this voice. "He has her number and he has two working hands. he can call you if he is really that concerned about you. well umm, in that way." At this moment I realize she is trying to use code around Candy and failing badly. "Wait are you and Damian a thing? I thought he was dating that Cassy girl. Also arent you and Ezikel kissy, kissy?" Feya realizes that she is not good at Morse code with words or trying to read between the lines. she changes the subject completely when she starts asking Candy about back home. Candy gives her a look like she isn't intrigued but within seconds candy is in full conversation about her horses and cows. She also has twenty-five chickens and normally one is used for Thanksgiving dinner. Feye looks sick at this moment she tries to hide but her face is paler than normal. I finally decided to Save Feya when I asked the girls to take a walk with me on the beach side.

Feya and Valentine come and pick me up outside my dorm where we walk to the frat house. I didn't notice how kind of slutty Feya and my costumes look. I try to pull the skirt down a little more but there is no use my cut cheeks are going to hang out. I can hear the house music two blacks away. We get to the house and there are people everywhere. some are taking on the lawn, some are doing tricks on the side of the house on skateboards, and the rest seem to be inside and most likely in the backyard. A tall black hair, ripped, olived-skinned boy walks up to me and asks to take shots. I don't even hesitate to say no. We go to the kitchen and I look to see if Feya followed but she is with the enemies. The guy looks to see where I am looking and yells over the music, "Don't worry gorgeous, I'll get you back to your friends, but let's have fun first okay?" He nods to one of his friends and he comes to my other side and we all take shots. I'm trying not to feel like this may not be the best idea but you know what fuck it. we going to get fucked up tonight.

The sky is cool and my sweaty body feels good dancing outside with both boys who have made me sandwich. I'm having the time of my life till Ezikel Buzz Killer comes and tries to grab my arm and uses his big man voice on me. " Nubia I think you have had enough, we should get you home." The boys are about to get in Ezikels face when Damian shows up right next to him and places his elbow on his shoulder. Damian looks sexy tonight as always he has a toothpick in his mouth, a crooked smile, and a wicked gleam in his eyes. "Why you have to kill da funs. you is no funs." I can hear how drunk I am but I am not ready to go home yet. My body is finally free and my mind doesn't give a shit. I am in the best state right now to not deal with these fuckers. "Oh Nubia, don't you know we are going to keep ruining the fun for you all night long," Damian says charmingly. "Go ahead and try to stop me or are you afraid that I might do something because we don't know what I am!" I am in his face and he knows I'm not fucking around. Ezikel moves uncomfortably because I'm yelling secrets out loud now. "okay Nubia go ahead, go do whatever you want. you just wait and see what's going to happen. without hesitation, I grab a guy and make out with him right in front of them. in the middle of making out, I see the black soul dust. I stop kissing the guy and grab another one to kiss, once again the dust is fucking black. Ugh, what the fuck is black soul dust, and why does it make me feel sick. the air thickens around me, my body feels heavy and I think I feel my soul start to cry the feeling starts to become overwhelming. Damian grabs me and throws me over his shoulder. I look around at everyone I was just standing next to and they are all crying. scratch that the whole house and backyard are crying. Damian places me in the back seat of his car and gets on the driver's side. "Damian this isn't a good idea man," Ezikel says with too much emotion. Is he crying too? the car feels like it's driving forever when we come to a stop. Damian opens my door and helps me out. my feet seem to not work and he throws me over his shoulder again. He opens the door to a house I can make out. my head feels too fuzzy to comprehend where we are and why the house is until Damian sits me on the table. His hands are on both sides of me. He takes a deep breath in and he seems to be at war with himself. "Damian, what's going on?" I'm asking him even though my whole body is craving him to come closer. he doesn't respond for five long seconds. Finally, he looks up at me with his deep brown eyes. I'm about to speak when his lips collide with mine. I don't have to open my eyes to know that the Soul Dust is pink. I can taste it. It's like cold Kool-Aid on a summer day. It's beyond sweet and makes me crave more of it. More of him. He takes his shirt off and unclasps my bralette. His hands are on my left breast and then down my left side. his hands are between my legs but I don't let him touch me. "I want more than this. I want all of you." I'm breathless. He lifts me to where I'm sitting above his belly button. He carries me up the stairs and down a hall to a bed with red sinking sheets. He starts to touch me and his touch is a familiar burning. My body ignites and I feel a burn inside my lower stomach. My brain flashes a memory. A memory in Vegas. We do know each other. I have seen him before. He was my one-night stand. Then it flashes again to the wild night and what happened in the hotel. He kept whipping my memory of him but he needed to have me. I need to have him. I have made love to Damian for a whole night. Then another memory comes in well I'm riding him and I'm getting ready to climax. His body starts to tremble beneath me and my body does the same. Then before we cum, I see us in Egyptian clothes. He is making me feel the same way I am right now. He is touching me and loving me just like he did in that era and most likely in every era before that. My body becomes weak and I fall next to him. The alcohol is no longer in my system because we traded it out or burned it off. I don't know how but I am not drunk anymore. I feel like I can run miles. "Is that all you got baby?" Damian asks me in an out-of-breath tone. I shake my head no well trying to catch my breath. he doesn't waste any time to move back on top of me. We make love till the sun rises and becomes way past mid-way in the sky. Whatever this is I hope it stays like this. My body leans into him and I start to fall asleep, but every good moment will have an interruption. "Damian, where are you?" Clarissa comes yelling down the hall and opens the door.
