to apologize to you.”
“No need. It’s cool.”
“No seriously. I apologize for thinking the worse of you because of your stupid ass friend. Your not him, so I can’t punish you for his shit.”
“Ma, I said an apology isn’t needed.” Cam started to feel bad because he knew that him and Kiyan both thought the same thing about Brielle and Danielle. He knew if he told her, this lunch date would be over before it even started. He promised himself that if they got to close, he would tell her the real deal. If they didn’t get close there would no need to tell her anyway.
Danielle got inside Cameron’s black Infiniti g35 and asked, “So, what do you do for a living?” while inspecting his car.
“I own Royalty Records with Kiyan.” He responded.
“Oh, that explained why there was so many celebrities at the party this weekend”
“Yeah, we know just about anybody,” he beamed.
“Cool, so where are you taking me?” Danielle asked.
“Just sit back and relax. I got this.” Cameron said giving her his infamous smile.
“I love this car. I want this in pink.” Danielle said changing the subject.
“Pink, they don’t make this shit in pink. Don’t tell me you a girly girl,” he joked.
“No, I’m not I just can picture this car in pink and it would be hot.
“I don’t know about all that,” Cameron responded while pulling up at a beautiful three-story house.
“I know we’re not at your house? If you think anything is going to happen, you got me all the way fucked up,” Danielle stated seriously.
“Damn girl, I didn’t say anything was gonna happen. I bought you to my house because I cooked you lunch. Damn what a way to fuck up the mood,” Cameron expressed getting annoyed.
“My bad. I just had to let you know.” Danielle said not caring about his sudden attitude.
“Come on yo.”
Walking into Cameron’s house, Danielle stood speechless. His house was beautiful. He had an open house. There were no walls blocking off the rooms. He had white floor to ceiling columns. His walls were turquish green, she had never seen anything that color. She was impressed at the way his house was decorated.
“I take it that you like my house,” Cameron said interrupting her thoughts.
“I love it. Who decorated your house?”
“I did.”
“Stop lying, I did. I told them what I wanted and how I wanted everything and they did it.”
“I’m impressed, your house is beautiful.”
“Thank you. I’ll take you on a tour after lunch. Lets go on the deck.” He said leading her to the sliding glass doors.
“Oh my god, this is beautiful.” Danielle said as she walked on the deck to see the scenery and the picnic setting. “Did you do this yourself?”
“Yeah I did it ma, you like?”
“I like it, but how did you do this when you only called like a hour and a half ago.”
“I started this when I woke up this morning.”
“How did you know I would of came over?”
“Didn’t you hear me say, I was prepared to drag your ass out your office building,” Cameron laughed.
“Thank you” Danielle said giving him a hug.
“You got it lil mama,” Cameron smiled while helping her sit down.
Danielle and Cameron had lunch on the deck. They began to really get to know each other. She was impressed, even though he had a past that included selling drugs, still managed to attend college. Danielle’s guard began to come down after lunch with him. Cameron was really feeling Danielle. She had a down to earth personality. She wasn’t your typical woman. She loved sports and was fascinated with cars. She owned her own business and she was a damn good sports agent. Cameron was pissed at himself when he realized that he would soon have to come clean about judging her before he even knew her. He decided that today wouldn’t be the day; he wanted to enjoy her company before she went back to work.
