Int.

"G irl, you going to make me kill somebody up in here"…Reg yells. Come on as he drags me to the front entrance of the club….Reg, I scream you’re holding my arm too tight. Come on he yelled again…I cry out, why are you doing me like this…Reg turns and pushes me up against the wall and says, because I am in love with you and I can’t take it seeing another man touching all on my girl…In that moment I knew staying a virgin in college was not going to be so easy, and of all the men, Reginald Tanks aka Reg , but me and my girls call him the school hoe, who hasn’t he slept with at GSU. But a girl couldn’t help but wonder about how good he was, because these crazy broads be falling for him and then, he is on to the next one once he gets what he wants….I guess tonight I am not going to be any different from the rest, but something in his eyes told me I was different, and this dude was going to take me on a roller coaster ride. This is the dude my momma and dad warned me about…This is the same dude that acts just like my brothers. After seeing them in action, I vowed to not let any dude talk me into sleeping with them, until I got married…Well, that was the plan until Reginald Durrell Tanks walked into my life….

The Beginning

It was my sophomore year in college and it was homecoming weekend, my girls and I were chilling at the club when he walks up on us and says the craziest shit. How can a guy like me be down with a girl like you….we bust out laughing and I look at my girl Candi and said I know that’s not the line he uses to get all those girls to sleep with him. He shot back, naw lil momma…I hate for men to call me lil momma, so I snapped back. See first, I am not your momma. And second I am not your type, see I am the, you can’t get none type, so, you can scope someone else out tonight, to go home and sleep with. He growled back by saying damn baby I was just paying you a compliment, I wasn’t trying to sleep with you. I was just letting you know that a brother has been watching you and wanted to know how he can be down, how can I get to know you. he put his hands up, as if he was defending himself and said, ok, ok I got you ma, I mean miss, I will let you get back to your friends. I replied thanks not sure why I said the rest of this, but I did. but if you really wanted to know me you would have done your homework on me, before you approached me, but I do apologize for g oing off, see, I am a real lady that’s looking for a real man, and a real man will know how to approach me." then I turned around and started back kicking it with my girls. My girl Candi, said she was thirsty and need a drink, so she left us on the dance floor and headed to the bar to get her a drink…who knew that her going to the bar would change my whole world.

Candi follows Reg to the bar and taps him on his shoulders and says, what’s up Reg, if you would have asked me, I could have saved you some time and told you my girl was not going to talk to you, you know your rep. Now if you would have approached me things would have been different. "Candi reached and rubbed Reg’s dick. Which really caught his attention, but while he was thinking, yes, I am going to fuck her tonight, he also was thinking, how he was going to get Candi to tell him everything he needed to know about Ms Kimani Diamond Reynolds.

Not sure why my momma named me diamond, which people like to refer to as a stripper name…I guess me being named this is a play on words, because people always assume that strippers are hoes and I am far from being a whore. I don’t plan on having sex until I am married; at least that’s what i thought….

Saturday Morning:

There is a knock at my door. Knock, knock, knock… I kick the covers off, because I was sleepy as hell, and I can’t believe Steve left his key again. Dam Steve, I moaned….Steve is my brothers best friend, well you might as well say, my best friend now, but let my friends tell it, Steve’s my future husband, but no, it’s not like that. Steve and I are just friends and the things he do for me is out of friendship and love. Hell we been knowing each other since grade school….knock, knock, knock…. Hold on I am coming, I yelled. Slowly getting out of bed, thinking it was Steve at the door, I didn’t bother to grab my robe. I open the door to Reg saying damn, how can a bother be that t-shirt. REG I said, What the hell, how did you find out where I stay I continued….he replied, See baby girl you said a real man will know how to approach you and see I am all real ….he said that while pulling me close. I am standing at my front door, with just a t-shirt on. We got so tipsy last night, I was either too tired or to tipsy to put my pajamas on….I ‘m ma go with the too tired. I look at Reg and said, are you stalking me, I ain’t one of those females you kick it with, so if you thought by popping up with your fine ass to my house, would give you a pass to get some ass, you have me mixed up with the hoe you sleep with last night. Reg fired back, look i didn’t come over here to get in your panties, I came over here to let you know I am digging you. I think you’re breath taken, and you sexy as hell. Naw, I really want to get to know you. This here ain’t no game I am spitting. I am trying to be with you …I look at him and rolled my eyes, but for some reason, I believed what he was feeding me and I step aside and let him in. excuse me while i go put something on more suitable. Reg smiled and said you don’t have to do that. I turned back around, see I knew I shouldn’t, before I could get what I was about to say out, he stops me mid-sentence. I am just playing with you, ma, go ahead and put something on, and while you back there, brush your teeth, because morning breath isn’t for you. then he laughed……. ok, your ass got jokes"….I said…. And then I went into my room.

I went ahead and changed into some shorts and a tank top, I am not going to sit up here and lie and tell you this brother don’t scare me, because he does. I know I shouldn’t have let him in my apartment. I don’t even know him. He could be a rapist, nah, he get too much pussy to take it. Damn what is it about this brother that i let him in my home….OMG, Steve will be here in a minute, I better ask him to, just as that thought was running in my mind, Steve arrives with my baby prince. Prince is my fully trained German Shepard. My dad insisted that I get a dog if I was going to live alone in an apartment. Since I went out last night, Steve watched him for me. Fuck, I know what Steve is going to think.

Steve walks in my apartment to his surprise Reg, is sitting on my love seat. Steve walks in and speaks, what’s up…. Reg speaks back by saying, what’s up, you’re Steve right…. Steve replied, yes…Reg went on to say, oh, my man, I am sorry, I didn’t know this was your girl. Steve stopped him and told him Naw man, you good, that’s my lil sister. Oh, ok, that’s what’s up, Reg replied. Steve making small talk asked Reg what brings him through here. Reg told him that he was trying to get to know me, try to find out what i am all about. Steve is surely like a brother to me, and he thinks and acts just like my brother so, Steve went in on Reg, not because he’s like a brother, but because he knows Reg rep and he definitely is going to look out for his lil sis… Reg, I can tell you that she not like those chicks you mess around with. So bro if you think you going to come up in here and lay pipe and leave, well, that’s not going to happen, not with her.

Just as Steve finished his talk or warning, I step back into the room. Steve looks at me and said, I need to talk to you for a moment. ok, I replied….I asked Reg did he mind, i am just going to talk to Steve right quick, if he wanted something to drink, he was welcome to go in the kitchen and get it himself, if he like….Reg, smiled and said handle my business.

Steve and I proceeded to go into my room, when he let me have it. Please tell me you didn’t…playing with Steve I said I didn’t what Steve, I know you don’t think I. Steve replied, well this nigga is at your house, early on a Saturday morning, you did go out and your ass was too tipsy to come get your dog. Yes, I was tipsy, but not crazy, those dimples and that six pack don’t impress me, not good enough to give up the nookie, I said….Steve looked at me and said alright, you better watch yourself….. I laughed and told him, now why will I need to do all that when you seem to be all on top of it….. We both laughed and Steve said ok, ok, I am just looking out, got to go though, be careful with this guy….. Warning taken, and I pushed Steve out my room door, back into the living room where Reg was…. ok, ok, I am leaving…. As Steve is walking out the door Reg holla’s nice meeting you, and Steve hits him back with I bet and walked out the door….

I turn to Reg, so, Mr. Tanks, you found me, so what you want to talk about…. You he responded. Yeah right, you came here for something, so get to it, because this is my rest and cleaning day. Naw, baby girl, it’s not like that, I really want to get to know you…… ok, I am not your baby girl, so don’t be calling me names that you give the many women you sleep with I fired off….. I am serious, I want to get to know you, I want you, not like what you thinking right now, but I am going to make you fall in love with me, then I am going to marry you….. I don’t know what dream he’s trying to sale, but I ain’t buying…. I knew you were after something….. just your heart, he replied… look, can’t no line get you right, so if I was dropping any, you would know. You too smart for that, and I don’t need you in my bed, as you already know, I have plenty of girls willing and waiting to get in it. And I call you baby girl because that’s what you’re going to be, my baby girl. I am digging you for real girl. I don’t have to approach women, but I want you. I like you

DIAMOND DAYDREAMING WHILE REG IS TALKING

This brother is going to be trouble, but the truth is, I’ve been digging him as well…then he came over here smelling like cool water and wearing a beater with jeans and polo boots, looking like that R&B singer Tank. But I just can’t wrap my head around all the women him and his boy G-Money be sleeping with. Dang, it’s always the fine, sexy, bad boys that get you hooked. Oh my, he smells good….Fuck, snap out of it girl. Damn he’s cute, I am biting on my bottom lip…Please God let me stop…Uh, why is he smiling….

Reg smiles and says, Diamond, you ok, am I boring you, you look like you took a trip out in space. Diamond thinking quickly responded oh, I am sorry, I was just thinking about something…Would you like something to drink or eat, I am about to make me something….. so you cook breakfast on the first date Reg asked…… Uh, this is not a date, an ambush, but not a date, I smiled….Reg laughed and responded with an ambush, naw, I call it determination to get to the future Mrs. Tanks, What are you cooking anyway

I feel like a ham and cheese omelet, throw some onions in it, I said….Girl you don’t have fake like you can cook for me, I already like you he said…. Here you go with those jokes again. But I can cook, thank you, I said. Ok, let’s see what you can do….he replied

I go in the kitchen and start cooking the omelet’s ….Ok, if I am going to cook; you’re going to have to tell me about yourself. Reg got up came and sat at the kitchen table…Ok, what you want to know. I looked back and said, Tell me about you……. It’s nothing fancy, but I am an only child, I was raised by my mom and dad. My mom spoiled me, my dad didn’t like that, I am very spoiled and I want what I want, and I want you, but before you speak, I am not going to sit up here and lie and say I don’t want you in a sexual way, because I do, but It’s something about you that’s more than just sex. It’s just something about you, He said………….I look at him and said, so somebody like you is looking for love, yeah right…I started laughing….He said, no, I am serious, Diamond. You know all the brothers on campus want to holla at you, Some think Steve is your man, remember when you said I needed to do my homework on you before I approached you, well last semester all I was doing is my homework. I knew Steve wasn’t what he has everybody to perceive him as. Yeah, everybody thinks he’s your man, that’s why a lot of men don’t approach you. I also know you not fucking, because the fellas that tried you, talk, and you have broken a quite a few hearts up here. People think you stuck up and you think you better then everybody, but I think that’s just your confidence and you know what you want. And all that drew me to you……

I had to fan myself, because this brother was telling the truth, a lot of females hate on me, because they think I think I am better than them, but that is not true, I just don’t have time for the drama, I am driven, I have goals….I graduated high school at the age of 16, this is my second year of college, not only am I the youngest , I have to show everyone, I am mature to handle any situation that arises…Ole Lord like this one….We were looking each other straight in the eyes….I almost wasted my food, watching him eat and talk, he looks so good, I see how females fall in his web. He said… ok, enough about me, I want to know about you, and by the way, this omelet was alright….I rolled my eyes at him….he laughed and said…. just bull shitting, it was good. Thanks, but I don’t know where to start I said….I got up and removed our plates and put it in the sink….Just start from the beginning, he said…. Ok, but my life isn’t that spectacular. I am the 6th and the last child my mom and dad had. I have four brothers and one sister. My mom was pregnant four times. …He stopped me and said, wait, you just said it’s six of yall….I giggled and said, yes, but my mom had two sets of twins. My oldest brother and I are not twins. So it’s my brothers Kyle Jr, Keith, Keenan, Kevin and Kelly and me Kimani. So, why do you call yourself Diamond, you know that’s like a stripper name and he laughs… Actually, Diamond is my middle name….Reg starts laughing even harder….No for real, don’t be laughing at my middle name, you can’t judge a book by its cover, see most people think that, but I am far from dancing on a pole. But I do dance….Reg smiles and says, Yeah, I see you shaking that big ass on the dance floor….I rolled my eyes, no you didn’t, I dance, like ballet, Jazz, tap, modern and hip-hop, any type of dance you name I can do…. My momma had my sister and me in dance since we were 3 years old, and I am still taking dance classes in college. So you’re a dance major, he asked. Ok, I thought you did your homework on me, no, I am Pre-Law. Why dance, he ask. Because I love to , it’s really a hobby, law is my passion, I want to be in entertainment law, and dib and dabble in corporate, securities & tax, criminal, civil, family….So, what’s your major, I ask ….He responded, business ….….I was impressed. I thought you were going to say anatomy or something with the body,… then I laughed….He smirked then asked, Why do you like Law I just always wanted to be a lawyer, I am sure my father wanted me to follow in his footsteps and become a surgeon, but two of my brothers are already doing that. My mom is a school teacher, and my sister is going to school to become a teacher, but she models on the side…I answered. So your dad is a doctor Reg asked. yes, some would say, I am just like him; I just didn’t want to go into medicine. My father is very driven, and that’s how I am….So, if men think I am stuck up, I am cool with that, because I have to stay focus on what I am really here for, I said. You said you graduated school early, how old are you Reg
