"Through the Lens"

"I can't believe you're down in Virginia, Robin. You literally left your life here in Cali for what?" Francine, Robin's best friend, expressed grave disappointment in her tone.

This wasn't the first time this has been addressed. When Robin broke the news to her friends and family that she was moving, no one was happy about it. She understood why. She wasn't leaving her home for herself but for Sean, which sounded crazy. However, Robin did whatever she had to do for her man, whether her family liked it or not. No one else addressed it but Francine did often.

"Fran, can we not do this please?" Robin asked nicely, using her shoulder to hold her phone to her ear. She pushed her cart as she looked down each aisle. She was food shopping for Shamar and the house. It was the only activity that seemed good for since being down here. Sometimes she thought about how things would be if she was still at home. It didn't matter.

"You do that all the time, Robin." Francine continued, ignoring what Robin said. She wasn't the type of friend that sugarcoated anything. She was over Robin and the way she acted when it came to Sean. Francine never liked them together in the first place. And honestly thought the way they came about was wrong on so many levels.

"Every time I tell you about yourself, you don't want to hear it. You and Sean being together is wrong, and that son of yours-"

"Do not speak ill on my child." Robin interrupted before Francine could continue.

"I wasn't going to speak ill on him but you know that boy is trouble and you know it. You've called me three times already about his behavior girl." Francine went on.

"I know but I didn't tell you because I'm looking for advice. I just needed to rant about what's happening." Robin said.

She found herself struggling to speak to Sean about anything. He was constantly worrying about Shai's anger and speaking on Allison not playing her part. She was getting sick of hearing that woman's name coming out his mouth every second of the day. Allison this and Allison that. She wondered when she was going to stop being the topic of discussion. It was the same thought when it came to Shai too. Shai was this and Shai was that. She never thought she would say this but she wished for Shai and Allison to be gone.

She wanted her life back where Shai and Allison wasn't always brought up. When Sean only worried about her and Shamar was being himself. She personally thought he was only acting up because of Shai. Nothing was going to change her mind.

"Well, find someone else to rant to Robin if you don't want my advice." Francine retorted irritatedly. Robin rolled her eyes. This conversation was clearly over and she was fine with it. She had to focus on shopping. Shamar hated when she didn't get the specifics that he asked for.

"Yeah, whatever, Francine. I'll talk to-" her sentence was cut off when she heard the dial tone. Robin moved the phone from her ear and placed it back in her purse.

She gripped the cart handle tightly from annoyance. All she wanted was for people to see things her way. She wasn't going to leave Sean because she loved him and he loved her too. They had a son that needed to be taken care of properly before he went to the league. She needed Sean to start worrying about Shamar more to get him ready. The Clippers had been checking for him since he was a junior in high school. His spot was already locked in on the team and Allison needed the attention solely on him. Right now.

She was going to make things right and have eyes back on Shamar as it always been. Until she had it figured out, she was going to keep quiet. She looked down at the list Shamar provided. When she saw he wanted chips, she turned down aisle ten and searched for the bag. While she looked up and down the shelves, she kept glancing at the two individuals that were making a bunch of noise near her. The taller male figure being the loudest.

"Come on, one more time?"

"You've been playing around since we got in here babe."

"We drove three hours to come to this grocery store when there's one close to the school. One more time."

"Because it's the only one that's having a sale on ground beef. You want lasagna right?"

"Yes. One more time?"

"Fine."

Robin glanced over at the two again. She saw the girl put the basket she was holding on the floor then stepped out the way. The boy grabbed a bag of chips then started acting like it was a ball. Fake dribbling it in between his legs. He took a large step back, bumping into her cart then released the chips out his hands. It landed in the basket and he threw his arms up, yelling.

"And one!"

Robin cleared her throat, causing him to turn around quickly. She couldn't stand children who didn't have any home training. She was about to come at him for bumping into her cart but stopped when she saw the familiar looking face.

"My fault, my fault." Shai apologized, fixing her cart. Robin was too stunned to say anything. She never thought she would come face to face with him.

Again.

"See. You need to stop playing around and you busted the chips open." The young lady spoke walking back to the basket.

Robin kept her attention on Shai even though he turned away from her. She wanted to say something but didn't have the right words. She was never prepared for anything like this to happen. She actually never thought she would end up seeing him. It's been so long.

"Shai." She finally said and it had to his name. Probably a mistake but it happened anyway.

Shai turned around to face her, he squinted his eyes at her. "Huh?" He questioned.

Robin nervously chuckled. "Uh, nothing. I mean..." she paused, thinking of something. "You're Shai, right?" She asked.

"Do I know you?" Shai questioned. Robin noticed the weird look he was giving her. She didn't take any offense to it.

"Yes. No. Not personally." She lied.

She swallowed hard in order to get rid of her nerves. "My son attends the same school." She vaguely informed him. She pointed at his shirt that had Hampton on it.

"You're paying for these." The girl he was with said soon as she approached them, handing the busted chips to him. Robin thought she was a cutie. She was happy to see Shai with a girl like her. Dark skinned and chubby. She turned to look at Robin and sized her up and down.

The attitude was definitely there though.

"She has a son that attends Hampton." Shai said, pointing at Robin. Robin gave the young girl a forced smile, nothing besides a stank face was returned.

"Really?" The girl squinted her eyes at her. "What's his name?" She asked.

Robin gripped the cart handle tighter. She wasn't expecting to be asked that so quickly. Obviously, the young lady would have done so. Shai was busy sneaking a couple chips out the bag so he wasn't paying attention to either of them.

"Oh, well...you don't...you wouldn't know him." Robin stammered over her words. "He's not well known at the school. But he may know you two or just Shai. Probably just Shai." She quickly regretted saying something because of the way the girl was sizing her up and down.

She never been intimidated by a child before but the way she was staring at her made her worry. Like she could read her well. She should've walked off and never said anything in the first place. This was going to backfire, she could sense it.

"Right." The girl said, slowly nodding her head. She turned away to look at Shai, quickly snatching the bag from him. "Seriously?"

"Sorry." He apologized with his mouth full. Robin being reminded of Shamar when he would do the same thing while she shopped. They were similar in many ways without even knowing. It was frightening to Robin since technically, she was staring at her own son in a way.

"Anyway, we have to go, so end this." The girl told him, pointing between Robin and Shai. She walked off and Robin knew Shai was going to go away too.

She really didn't want him to go. Yeah, she wanted her life back when he wasn't being talked about but seeing him now made her think differently. If only she could go back in time and see his face for the first time again. He was a cute baby and he was even more handsome now that he was older. Looking just like Sean.

Shai turned to face her then smiled. The smile reminded her of Shamar. "I gotta go. Sorry again." He apologized once more for hitting her cart.

"It's fine." She muttered. She wanted to say more but Shai turned around and walked off.

"Baby!" He shouted before disappearing.

Robin let out a breath that she was holding in. She placed her hand on her chest, trying to process everything. She couldn't believe she finally saw him.

If only she could go back.

McLean, Virginia

His biggest investment this summer was a camera. Shai turned the focus dial until the screen wasn't blurry anymore. He angled the camera to where he needed then zoomed in on Dess. He leaned back in his chair getting comfortable then pressed the record button.

"Look at my baby." He lowly said, zooming in on Dess some more. She laid on his bed on her phone, not paying any attention to him. It was the perfect way for him to do this.

"Looking sexy ass hell while ignoring me." He spoke louder this time to get her attention, looking over the camera at her. She stayed on her phone and didn't respond. He suck his teeth and looked back at the camera screen.

"Ignoring me is crazy." He continued to purposely talk aloud. "Doesn't matter though cause I'm 'bout to head out." Dess cut her eye at him and he chuckled.

"Are you recording?" She asked, going back on her phone.

"Yes, ma'am." He answered.

"Why?"

"I gotta put this camera to use somehow. You aight?" He moved the camera and zoomed in on her ass. He smirked when he saw the pink panties she was wearing. Her ass hanging out and he wanted to touch. But recording was much better for now.

"I'm straight. You?" Dess asked back.

"I'm alright baby." He dragged out a little, keeping the camera on her ass. There was a good nine seconds of ass footage on there. He finally moved the camera and went back to her face, zooming out.

"You look so damn fine." He complimented, Dess smiling.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now, I know we're not about to sit here doing our own thing like this, baby. How about we have some fun." He suggested, Dess cutting her eye at him again.

"What type of fun?" She curiously asked.

"Put your phone down and sit up for me." Shai instructed. Dess did as told, putting her phone down on the bed then sat up facing him. Shai zoomed out so he got all of her in the camera.

"If I asked you to strip, would you?"

"Are you asking me to?"

Shai looked over the camera at her and was met with her arch eyebrow and head tilt. He smirked then went back to looking at her through the camera screen. With her question answered, Dess grabbed her shirt then pulled it off. She placed her arm over her breasts while tossing the shirt on the floor. She moved back so she could lean against the headboard and brought her knees to her chest. Shai noticed the way she was staring at him and that smile on his face dropped.

"Are you uncomfortable?" He asked, looking at her.

"No." Dess quickly responded. "But this is new with the whole recording me getting naked. I better be able to do the same."

"Of course. Now, I'd love to see those panties off." Shai went back to it. With her free hand, she proceeded to take off her panties. Once she had them off, she grabbed them then threw it at Shai. He leaned forward in the chair, almost falling off, just to catch his new most prized possession

"I'm finna walk around campus with these on my head so I can smell you all day." He somewhat joked, hanging her panties in front of the camera.

"Uh, no! Gimme my panties back if you're gonna do that." Dess told him, holding her hand out.

Shai started laughing. "I'm not going to do it. And these are mine now." He held her panties up and Dess playfully rolled her eyes. Those were her favorite but she accepted that she wasn't getting them back.

Shai threw her underwear on his desk. He fixed the camera, putting it back on her then leaned in his chair. He went ahead and zoomed in on her, feeling the intense seductive vibes her eyes was giving the camera. He noticed as he looked at the screen she was coddled up, covering herself like she was scared to show her body. Which he saw plenty of times naked already.

"Why you acting all shy?" He asked.

Dess shrugged. She will admit she was a little shy to be naked right now. It wasn't because of the camera. And she knew she's been naked around Shai before. But she was slowly gaining back her confidence and Shai caught her in the middle of the journey. That's why she was hiding herself at the moment.

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Shai lowered the camera before she even replied. His mood was starting to change in case he was making things weird for her. Never his intention when he did sexual things. He knew that she wasn't as ready as he was for these things. He didn't want to rush.

"I'm fine baby, I promise." She reassured him. "You can put the camera back up." Having the permission, Shai raised the camera and put it back on her. It took a second for it to focus then he was back to recording.

"What do you want me to do? I know you didn't have me get naked for no reason." Dess mentioned. Shai was glad that she asked.

"You know what we did on the phone? I wanna see that." He answered.

Dess muttered an okay then slowly opened her legs for him. She got herself comfortable, staring directly at the camera while she slide her two fingers in her mouth. Once having them wet, she took them out then placed her fingers on her vagina. Shai licked his lips as he watched through the camera screen. She rubbed her vagina in a circular motion, starting steady and in a mild nature. Shai zoomed in enough to see what was happening and to keep her face in view.

Her sky blue nails rubbing her vagina was truly a sight he was loving. Shai licked his lips again, his shorts getting tight as he started to get hard. A soft moan came from Dess as she was beginning to feel the pleasure of her own hand. She was getting turned on more from the camera and Shai watching. Moving her fingers, she wet them with her mouth again, and placed them right back where they were. She made sure to rub in between her lips and pleasured her clit.

"Mmm." She moaned, licking over her plump lips. With her other hand, she cuffed her boob and played with her nipples. She was enjoying herself and Shai was enjoying watching. But there was no way he was going to be able to sit here the entire time.

Dess stopped then motioned for him to come to her. Shai stood up and walked to the bed while keeping the camera steady. Dess crawled to the edge of the bed where he stood, sitting on her knees then pulled his shorts and underwear down. She lowered her top half in front of his dick then started kissing on him.

"Our first sex tape." Shai joked to lighten the mood. Dess looked up at him and he apologized instantly. He didn't want to ruin the mood. Going back to the screen, he watched as Dess grabbed his dick and licked him. That alone was exciting Shai and having him ready to cum. It was the lack of touch that did that to him.

Dess traced her tongue around his tip, tasting the pre-cum then took her time to put him in her mouth. Feeling the warmth of her mouth made Shai take a deep breath. He gripped the camera tighter as she went a litter further down but not all the way. She wasn't a pro and couldn't take him all but still good enough to pleasure him. Adjusting herself, she carefully bobbed her head and moving her hand. She took her time and not rush to get used to his size and the motion.

Shai held the camera with one hand while the other rested on her head. He played with her curls, curling it around his finger and letting it go. It was an intimate gesture in his eyes. He pushed her hair back from her face and held it out the way.

"I've been waiting for this." He mentioned, Dess rolling her eyes. He was going to laugh but a groan came out instead.

"Damn." He cursed under his breath, licking his lips again. He could feel himself about to cum already and didn't want that. It was too soon but having no intimate contact did that. He forgot he had the camera in one hand and ended up dropping it on her Dess.

"Oh fuck!" He cursed again, picking it up. Dess pulled away from me, holding her hand against her forehead.

"Ow!" She exclaimed, rubbing her forehead.

"I'm so sorry." Shai apologized. He leaned towards her and kissed her forehead. "I'm so freaking sorry."

Dess chuckled, rubbing her forehead again. "Give me this." She took the camera out his hand and rested it on the bed away from them.

"I'm sorry." Shai apologized once again. Dess moved closer to him, grabbing his shirt and pulled him towards her. She fell back on the bed and Shai climbed on top of her, going in for a kiss. He caressed on her inner thighs then moved to her vagina. He felt how wet she was and wanted to insert something inside of her other than his fingers. He broke their kiss and stared at her, contemplating if he wanted to ask.

"Babe, do you...I'm not pressuring you or anything but do you wanna...you know..." he stammer over his words as he tried to find the right way to ask.

"Do I want to have sex?" Dess helped him out. He nodded.

"Do you have a condom?" She asked, catching Shai off guard.

"Uhh..." he dragged out, getting off her. He got off the bed and checked his nightstand to see if he had any. While he searched, Dess grabbed the camera and rested it on the other nightstand so it was on them.

Shai finally found a box of condoms from the type they went to the store. He was thrilled but didn't show it since he didn't want to ruin the mood. He turned to face Dess and held up the box to show her. He was so excited when she nodded her head in approval.

"Are we really doing this?" He asked for confirmation.

"Do you want to?"

"Yes, but I don't to press-"

"You're not pressuring me." She interrupted his constant worrying. "I want to do it. Just don't hurt me."

Shai nodded. He eagerly opened the box and took out one of the condoms, throwing the box on the floor. He pulled off his shirt and tossed it as well then got back on the bed. Dess wrapped her arms around his neck as they shared another kiss. It felt different, more affectionate and loving this time around. Breaking the kiss, Dess felt on his chest while he proceeded to tear open the package. Once he had it open, he took out the condom and examined it at first.

"Do you know how to put one on?" Dess chuckled, seeing the confusion on his face.

"I got it." He responded, sliding it on. He struggled a little but finally got it on all the way. It felt odd definitely, slightly uncomfortable but not too bad. He took a deep breath, calming his racing heart.

Dess cuffed his face to bring him back since she could see him about to fall into deep thought. It wasn't serious as he was making it and she wanted to remind him.

"Baby, relax." She told him, rubbing her thumbs against his cheeks. "We're going to take things slow. Alright?"

"Alright." Shai agreed. Dess smiled at him then peck his lips.

"Slow." She reminded him.

"Slow." Shai repeated.

He continued muttering under his breath while he grabbed himself. He wasn't a professional so he did what he thought was right, rubbing his tip against her vagina. He looked at Dess to see if she was good. She muttered that she was alright and her kept going. He continued rubbing his dick against her some more until he felt as though he was good. Ready, he found her opening and stuck himself inside.

"Ow!" Dess shouted, scaring Shai. "Gentle please." She nicely suggested.

Shai nodded, taking the suggestion. "Gentle, yes. Be gentle." He talked to himself. He tried again, slowly inserting himself inside her. The tip first causing Dess to hiss.

"I'm fine. It just hurts." She told him.

"Should I keep going?" Shai asked for confirmation. If it wasn't then he was going to end this. No matter how badly he wanted this, he didn't want to hurt her.

"Mhm." Dess hummed her answer.

Shai continued, sliding himself inside her more. Dess shutting her eyes tightly from the pain. Shai noticed the wincing she was doing and leaned down to kiss her to help ease the pain. He won't lie, he felt how tight she was as she got himself halfway in her. He felt like he was doing something wrong that was causing her to hurt, so he kept up with the tender kisses on her cheek and neck. Dess bite her lip, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I don't want to hurt you." He said in her ear before kissing her cheek again.

"You're not going to hurt me."

Y'all pls don't think I shirt changed y'all with the sex scene. Ik it's the first time but I personally didn't feel the need for a full blown scene this time around. It's not that important for the storyline fr imo. But best believe you all will definitely get a better and more descriptive one later on in the story. Sorry if this was a little disappointed but I love y'all.
