Cam POV
"Yo wassup?" I answered my phone knowing it was Rebecca from work.
"Your ass needs to hurry back. Dickwad getting upset and he wants coffee, bring me back one too please. Oh plus a little cute thing just dropped by. She left some flowers, with a note. Awww she's so cute it's disgusting. I love it!" Rebecca whisper screamed.
Which cute thing? Could it be Tye? Sigh, my mind was all over the place with her. I wanted to be there for her and she shut me out.
"Aiite bet." I said and disconnected the call.
I stopped by the Coffee Shoppe on my way back and ordered the drinks. Once I paid for them and received them I rushed back to work. I stepped through the doors and went straight for his office, knocked three times and waited for him to answer.
"COME IN." He shouted. I pushed the door opened and took his dry cleaning and hung it on a rack in the corner and placed the coffee on his desk. I ran through his morning appointments letting him know that he had one client to meet with at 10 before he meets his wife for lunch at 11:30.
"Anything else sir?" I asked.
"That's good. You can leave now." He waved his hand fanning me off.
I walked out and slowly closed the door behind me. I rushed up to Rebecca and snatched the flowers away from her since she was bent on sniffing the fragrance out of it.
"Gimme my shit hoe." I cussed at her.
"Why you always so mean to me?" She pouted.
"Why you always tryna be up in my shit?" I fired back.
"Well if your shit wasn't so good looking and appealing I wouldn't be in it."
"You damn nasty b."
I rolled my eyes and walked into the back where my little desk space was. Other offices were around here but I had to be close to my boss. He was the son of the owner and that lil bitch ass was entitled and annoying. The job pays good so I ain't fussing at all plus he doesn't have a problem with my dressing or my hairstyle.
I placed the flowers on my desk wondering where I'd put them.
"Here," Rebecca walks in with a medium size vase.
"Thanks ma," I smiled up at her.
"You're welcome boo," She winked at me and flipped her hair walking out. She was another pain in the ass but she was a good pain in the ass.
There was already water in the vase so I untied the flowers then cut the stems and put them in. There was a note stapled to one of the purple flowers so I pulled it off and read it.
Cute.
Camille you're my Camomile.
On my life, she's a dork. That was disgustingly cute. I couldn't help but smile though. No doubt that was the wackiest shit I've read but it was original. I laughed for a good minute before I placed the note under my keyboard and got to working on my boss's schedule for tomorrow.
I sent him a notification reminding him of his meeting and letting him know that I'd be taking lunch at 1.
Camille you're my Camomile.
Bruh, I couldn't keep that stupid line out of my mind. Of course I forgave her, we just needed some time to get to know each other better. We just met after all and our first date was amazing. I wanted to text her but I figured I could show up at her workplace and get some face to face conversation with her. I really liked her. She wasn't my first stud , I've been attracted to studs for a while now. Milly doesn't know and she's my step sister. My mom remarried 3 years after my dad passed and once me and Milly hit a decent age, which was one year later, they moved us into our own place. I was older than her by a couple months and she's childish AF. Her dad wasn't interested in helping me go back to college so I decided I'd just work for awhile and then see how that college thing works out. I do have dreams of opening my own business some day, being my own boss.
After I've finished up my schedules and responded to emails. I tidied my desk and left out for lunch. Rebecca's lunch was at 12 since she was the receptionist and we usually took lunch together but today I was on a mission. I should've went at 12 since that was the conventional lunch time but I was risking it. Living my life on the edge.
I got a taxi to take me to Tye's work address. I paid the driver and as soon as I opened the door I saw Tye crossing the road with a dude.
"TYE!!" I shouted while shutting the door of the taxi and stepping onto the side walk. I ran up to her with a smile on my face seeing that hers was just as bright just by seeing me.
"Hey."
"Hey," she replied all nervous looking. I grabbed her hand and pulled her in for a hug. She was looking fine in her work polo and dark slacks. Her hair was still straightened from last weekend and it did fit her slender face.
"Is this lunch?" I asked.
"Yeah, me and my coworker was just about to grab a bite. Wanna come?"
"Would love to."
"Ryan this is Cam, Cam this is Ryan." We dapped each other up and made our way into the food court. I saw that she was going to a vegetarian restaurant and Ryan was going to a Chinese restaurant. I wasn't into that vegan shit so I followed Ryan.
We stood in line together and after awhile he started questioning me.
"So what are your intentions with my G?" He asked knotting his eyebrows together.
"No bad intentions my man, I just wanna treat her good."
"Well you better because she's had a rough past and is still kinda shaken up about some stuff so I just wanna let you know that you dress like a nigga so I'll knock your lights out like a nigga and let me let you know, these hands are rated E for everybody." He said giving me a side smile.
"Woah white boy, easy with the N word." I said getting a bit defensive.
"Ion mean nth by it. If Tye ever heard me she'd whoop my ass." We both started laughing.
We got our orders and I followed them back to the computer store. Guess they could eat in here. They drew up their stools and Ryan went and got an extra chair from the back. We all sat by the counters and started eating.
"Why you don't eat meat babygirl?" I asked breaking the silence.
"It's a conscience thing." She replied blushing.
"Bruh don't ask her no more questions bout that shit because I'm deadass tired of hearing her go on and on about that animal cruelty shit, I just wanna eat this teriyaki bird in peace. I'm sorry, Damn." Ryan chimes in.
We both bust out laughing looking at Tye rolling her eyes.
"So how'd you two meet?" Ryan asked.
"Here actually, followed my sis to get her computer fixed."
"Oh, you and Milly related?" Tye asked.
"Yeah, she's my step sister." She nodded her head as a response.
"So how comes you ain't tell me bout that T?" Ryan asked hitting Tye.
"Because I wasn't all that sure I was ready to talk about it. This whole stud and stud thing is new to me." She replied.
"Is it new to you?" Ryan asked me.
"Nah, that's why I made moves on homegirl over here. She was looking fine and I couldn't let that pass up." I winked at her.
"We went on a date last Friday, took her to see a movie." I continued, "she's such a scared ass, nearly hopped in my lap when the nigga's head got chopped off."
Ryan bust out laughing. "Sounds like my G alright."
"Y'all, that shit ain't funny." Tye hissed her teeth.
"Can't we all go out together?" Ryan asked.
"Well I saw Milly earlier today and she invited me to the club Friday night with you guys, that cool with you?" Tye asked me.
"For sure ma. Ryan you can come too."
"It's babe for you daddy." Ryan winked at me and I couldn't help but blush and chuckle. He was cute but he looked a bit masculine, which was surprisingly even more of a turn on.
"Ew. You better leave my stud muffin alone and go find yourself ya own." Tye jumped in.
"We can share." He said blowing a kiss at me.
"Hell naw bro, you know I'll rock your shit."
Ryan started mocking her and they went in on each other for a good minute while I sat there laughing and making small comments.
I looked at my watch and realized that I had to go.
"Let me drop you," Tye offered.
"Nah, it's cool." I shrugged her off.
"Nigga shut up and come on," She fanned me off and grabbed her car keys.
We got in the Jeep and she started playing Jessie Reyez. I watched her sing and pull out of the parking lot. The car ride was mostly silently with little small talk here and there. We got to my building and she pulled up in front.
"Can you text?" She asked me.
"Sometimes, I'll text you when I can." I replied.
"Aiite, bet." I leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Talk to you later ma." She smiled.
I hopped out of the Jeep and walked in. She beeped her horn while driving off. I stepped into the office looking at Rebecca with a serious looking face and a man in a grey suit looking like he was about to pop off.
I walked up to them and asked Rebecca what was up. She explained that she was trying to let him know that he had to set an appointment to see one of the lawyers in the firm but he was being difficult.
"Alright, my man. You gotta set an appointment," I took up a business card and slid it in his top pocket, " she can't do anything for you unless you set an appointment alright? Good talk." I said while patting him on the shoulder and trying to lead him to the door.
"Getcho hands off me dyke!" He spat.
"Woooah no need for that kind of language here. This is a safe space." I held my hands up.
"Ain't no safe space in this world for faggots and stupid blonde whores who refuse to give a white man service!!" He started shouting.
"Woah woah, muthafucka you better get outa here with that shit. Get back to fucking America with that shit aiite? We don't give a fuck what color you wanna be, because these hands are rated E for everybody and I'll whoop yo ass till you red or black and blue bitch." I spat back at him getting pissed as hell but was silently thanking Ryan for that fire line.
He shoved me and called me a nigger.
Thank you God for preparing me for situations like these.
I drew my hands from the back of my knees to give this white trash a fucking death punch. The first punch connected with his nose. The second one cracked that shit. The third one got it bleeding and the fourth one caught his eye.
"GET UP OUT THIS MUTHAFUCKING JOINT BEFORE I GO APE SHIT ON YOU BITCH! BEFORE I GO FULL NIGGER ON YOU, YOU LITTLE PIECE OF WHITE SHIT."
I was hyped all the way up, was about to go Tarzan in this bitch and start beating my chest. I ran up to kick this germbag through the door and right as my foot rose he pulled out a gun from his waist and shot at me, I heard Rebecca scream. The first shot missed me because he was only looking through one eye. I'm black, I can dodge bullets.
I started running for the desk but he recovered and shot at me again. This time the bullet lodged in my shoulder blade and I fell down. Shit! This shit face was gonna kill me. I started dragging myself to get behind the counter when he walked up closer and shot me again, wasn't sure where it hit this time but I was for sure feeling the pain. I ain't ever been shot before. I heard his footsteps like he was trying to walk closer to me. Were Rebecca and I the only ones here? Fuck!
"Hate you fucking dykes! Gonna kill that whore too." He spat at me.
I heard one more gun shot go off and I was out like a light.
