is that?" Cam asked.

"I don't want to go out with you" she countered.

"Well, I'm coming to take you out. So all that other shit you saying right now is unnecessary." Cam demanded.

"How are you going to tell me what the hell I'm gonna do?" she said.

"Look, remember what you said, you don't have time for that. I'll be there in a minute," Cam said hanging up.

Danielle just looked at her phone and was shocked that he hung up on her. She knew Cameron would be the one to put her in her place but she wasn't going to give in. He thought he knew what he was getting himself into, but he didn't have no idea. Just as Danielle got back to her list, her phone rung again.

"Hey girl," Danielle smiled.

"Don't hey girl me. Brielle is pissed at you right now," Shanice said.

"What did I do?" she frowned.

"Girl, you know what you did. Why did you try to play Cameron like that?" Shanice yelled.

"Girl bye, Cam played himself. I only ended it right there before it was too late." Danielle said.

"End it? Danny he didn't do nothing to you." Shanice reminded her.

"He didn't do anything yet! Had I gave him a chance I probably would of had to really show my ass," Danielle laughed.

"You’re not right, by the way Brielle should be calling you in a minute so let me get off this phone because you're in trouble," Shanice joked.

"I'm not in trouble, Bri will definitely understand when I speak to her." Danielle hoped.

"Are you sure we're talking about the same Bri?"

"Yes, I promise you, when we finally talk, Bri will be all smiles and giggles" Danielle confidently said.

"Um huh, good luck with that. Bye sister!" Shanice said and hung up.

Danielle didn't want Brielle to be pissed off with her, but after she told them about her date she didn't want anything to do with Kiyan or his friends. Cameron didn't do anything to her, but she knew if she was to get close to Cam that Kiyan would be apart of the equation. Danielle knew if she saw Kiyan, she wouldn't be responsible for what happened. Danielle knew Brielle since she was 9 years old and she hated to see Brielle mad. Ever since they were little kids in school, Danielle vowed that if Brielle had a problem, she had a problem too. She knew she better call Brielle first so she picked up her phone and called. She waited until Brielle answered until she spoke.

“Hey sissy, before you start I already know that you’re upset with me,” Danielle started.

“I’m not upset with you Danni, because I know what you were thinking already. I just want you to stay out of this one. I spoke to Kiyan today and we are on better terms. We’ve decided to be friends. So you need to call Cam and apologize.”

“Call Cam? Girl bye, that boy called me like thirty minutes ago and basically demanded that I be ready to go to lunch,” she laughed.

“Well you better go and make sure you don’t give that poor boy no unnecessary problems. You know how you get. You are so damn stubborn,” Brielle responded.

“I guess so. I just want to tell you I love you and your problems will always be mine. You and the girls are the only family I have. So I have to protect my family.” Danielle reminded her.

“Danielle, I love you more & I know. You’re my sister forever and you know that. Have fun with Cam. Please don’t start no shit girl with that man. I mean it.” Brielle said.

“I won’t. I’ll call you later on tonight.” Danielle said ending the call.

Danielle didn’t have to wait long; twenty minutes after getting off the phone with Brielle she received a call saying her lunch appointment was here. Danielle grabbed her purse and phone before heading downstairs to meet Cameron.

As Danielle walked towards Cameron, she was reminded just how cute he was.

“Hey ma,” Cameron said hugging her.

“Hi Cam, Danielle responded, I’m ready if you are.”

“Damn, I’m surprised I’m not gonna have to drag your little ass out of this building,” Cameron laughed while holding the door for Danielle.

“Ha ha ha, very funny.” Danielle countered.

“Seriously, when I called you were full of attitude. I just knew when I came to pick you up, you was gone give me hell.”

“I was prepared to give you hell too before I spoke to my girl.”

“Well, I guess I have to thank her.”

“I guess so, I have
