Save A Pretty Girl For Me The Finale

Summer of 84. Here I am the man. The prettiest girl on my block was my girlfriend. Most of my crew was proud of me except for Fondu. He didn't expect my first girlfriend to be so pretty. Figured I would end up with a chick that looked like his bow legged leggo beast we nicknamed The Black Bandit. She was yuuuugly!!! I mean she was beyond dark skinned and had a wet jheri curl. Her only redeeming quality. She was cool as shit. Nothing phased her not even Fondu's obnoxious personality. Maybe thats what he saw in her.


Now I was real nervous about having a girlfriend. As you all know the only girl I ever kissed was my pillow and it didn't kiss back. What was I going to do ? Ask my boys for help ? Heeell no! I would be subjected to ridicule for months. I didn't want to kiss Casey, be horrible and she leave me for some other boy that was better. I needed to practice on another girl a willing participate who wouldn't tell. That summer Casey wasn't the only girl that liked me. Lips had been chasing me since spring, but she scared me. Everytime I saw her she would lick her lips and whisper real nasty things to me. Being inexperienced I knew if Lips ever got me behind closed doors. I would be found OUT!!! Cause she would definitely tell and make me a bigger herb than I already was, but that didn't matter to me. Would risk it. If it meant keeping Casey as my girl.

One day The crew was hanging out at Fondu's house. It was me, Phantom, his girl Cherry , Fondu, and Cherry's homegirl Lips. I was in Fondu's room playing Atari. Phantom was in the next room getting busy. Fondu probably downstairs trying to get Lips to forget about me. It didn't work because about a half an hour later she was standing in front of me licking her Lips asking " Slish don't you like me?" I say " I like you , but there is someone else I like more. " Lips responds " You mean that girl at the end of the block ? I say " How do you know that! Who told you? Lips responds " Fondu. He told me coming up here woud be a waste of time", Licking her lips and rubbing on her chest " Tell me Slish am I wasting my time " It took every bone in my body not to jump her ass right there and start practicing my kissing technique. I respond " Ye yes. " I decided then I would take my chances with Casey. If she really liked me. Not being able to kiss wouldn't matter.

For a whole month I would go to Casey's house, watch televison and just hold her hand. I was still too scared to kiss her. I could sense she was getting frustrated too. Then one night while doing my usual its 9 pm time for me to go home routine. Casey blocks her front door " Slish you're not leaving here until you kiss me! I say " But Casey I have to go. You know my daddy will whup my ass if I come into the house past curfew. " Casey " Slish all you have to do is kiss me and I'll let you leave. Don't you want to ? " I looked in Casey's light brown eyes. I wanted soooo badly to kiss her , but my mind was telling me no. So I tried to push passed her but she wasn't having it. Casey grabs my head and pulls my face closer to hers. Our lips touch! She starts to suck on them. I'm thinking to myself this isn't so bad. I can do this! Then Casey opens her mouth ! Whats This ? I'm not prepared ! Do something Slish ! I open my mouth too. Casey's tongue reaches out to mine. I meet it half way. Our tongues start to dance like they've been taking tango lessons. We were so caught up in our dance session . That we didn't notice her front door opening . Coming in from behind it was Casey's Daddy!!!! I push her off me immediately !!!! Casey's Daddy says " Whats going on here!!!! I respond " N N Nothing sir I was just leaving !

For most of the summer all Casey and I did was kiss. I got real good at it too. One night I stepped it up a notch and brought Casey over to my house while my parents were asleep. When I did it I made sure The Crew saw me. Mistake Mistake Mistaaaake!!!!! Fondu was with them! He shouts out " WHOO HOOO AIIGHT SLISH GET THAT PUSSY!" Oh Shit!!!! Casey whispers " Did he just say what I think he said " DAMN DAMN DAMN Casey " Take me home Slish. I don't feel comfortable here. " SHIT SHIIIT !!! He's going to pay for that! I take Casey home, walk over to where the crew is, grab Fondu by the neck and throw him on the concrete HEAD FIRST!!!! I say " WHY! WHY! Do I do things like that to you when The Black Bandit is in your house! Fondu " GET THE FUCK OFF ME! " I let go of him . Fondu gets up off of the floor, wipes the dirt off his face. Phantom laughs and says " Slish just whupped yo ass. Bet you won't do that dumb shit again ." The Crew starts laughing . Fondu gets pissed and leaves.

Summer is over. The School year begins. I'm in my sophomore year. Casey is in her freshman year at a different High School. As the months went by I noticed Casey was becoming a little distant. I figured it was probably the stress of her being in a new school. Wasn't that at all. Casey was a very pretty girl and pretty girls get a lot of attention from other guys. The extra attention caused Casey to question her feelings for me. Looking back now I can understand, but you try telling a 15 year old boy in love that his girlfriend might want to date other guys. Casey "Slish I care about you but we're still young and i'm getting all this attention I don't know what to do" I say " You want to go out with someone else?" Casey " No, yes , no I don't know! I'm confused Slish and I don't want to hurt you." I say " Its too late for that Casey." I leave her house. Later that night Casey and I broke up over the phone. We were never a couple again.

Casey and I never lost touch. We've remained friends for the past 23 years. I can say with confidence she is my best friend, but like always all good things must come to an end because Barneys has quickly taken her place. I'm sure Casey wouldn't mind that at all.
