  Diamond

  "Cameron, let us get a shot of you," several photographers were screaming out when we arrived at the party. At first Cameron was going to skip the red carpet but the press was making it difficult.

  "Would you mind walking the red carpet with me and taking some pictures?"

  "You don't have to have me in the pics. You go 'head."

  "I want you in them with me if you don't mind."

  "You're gonna make me blush."

  "That's cool but do it after they snap these pics," we both laughed. When we hit the carpet the flashbulbs instantly started blinding me.

  "Who is the young lady with you? What's her name? Is she your girlfriend?" The questions were rolling off all the photographers tongue quicker than Cameron could answer them.

  "Yes, she's my girlfriend and her name is Diamond." Once Cameron said that it was on and poppin'. They came at me like vultures.

  "Diamond, turn this way. No turn this way. What do you do for a living? How did you and Cameron meet?" They were relentless with the questions and the only reason I got through it was because Cameron was by my side.

  "How do you deal with this shit?" I asked once we were done and in the building.

  "You get used to it."

  "I don't think I could ever get used to all that attention."

  "I said the same thing when I first got in the league. But dealing with the press, it's part of the business which means it's part of my job. And how can I complain with all the money I make. Yes, it's a curse but it's also a major blessing. So you have to take the good with the bad."

  "When you explain it like that you're right."

  "I don't want this craziness to scare you off but if you're gonna be by my side, you have to get used to this. This is my life."

  "It's gonna take much more than this to scare me away from you."

  "That's what I wanted to hear," Cameron said, leaning down to give me a kiss.

  When we got in the party the first person we ran into was Blair who was looking every bit the superstar in a palilette-embellished white strapless dress with sparkly Jimmy Choos and a crimson lip. "Girl, I swear I was gonna get those shoes but they didn't have my size in stock and I was pissed. Bitch, you look fuckin' amazing!"

  "You're so sweet, Diamond, but you look unbelievable tonight. I guess we both were aiming for the best-dressed award."

  "Who did you come with?"

  "Kirk. He should be back in a minute. He had to go to the bathroom."

  "What! First the concert now this party, that's two dates in a row. I'm so proud of you."

  "I'm kinda proud of myself. But Kirk makes it so easy. He's so laid back and cool with everything. I never feel stressed or under pressure when I'm with him."

  "That's because he's a good guy."

  "Speaking of good guys you and Cameron seem awfully tight." I turned around to see what Cameron was doing before I spoke. He was occupied talking to some dude so I felt free to do some sharing with Blair.

  "Girl, before we came over here he took me to this freakin' apartment that is too fly for words and guess what?"

  "What?"

  "He got it for me and Destiny."

  "Stop playing!"

  "I'm so serious. He wanted us to have our own place and not have to stay with my mom. And just so I could have a certain level of security, he paid the rent up for a year. Is this dude heaven sent or what?"

  "You have truly hit the jackpot, Diamond but if anybody deserves it, it's you. You're always looking out for everybody else, I'm so glad somebody is finally looking out for you."

  "But do you know we haven't even had sex yet. I'm starting to think there may be some truth to holding out on the goods might get you the prize."

  "So you're going to keep holding out?"

  "Hell no! He's proven himself to be worthy. I'm just saying that I believe by making him wait and not fucking his brains out off the jump made him have to take the time to get to know me and develop real feelings beside just sexual ones. You know what I'm saying?"

  "I do, that's a good point. When you wait and don't have sex with somebody you do get a chance to see who they really are. When you have sex too soon it blurs your mind from making rational decisions."

  "That's my point."

  "I sure hope things work out for you and Cameron because I can't lie. The first time the two of you even met there was undeniable chemistry. It was like you all had known each other forever, you just clicked."

  "So true. That's my baby…hold on, I have to take this call."

  "Sure." I went over to a corner to try and get some privacy before answering.

  "What's good?"

  "I have some information for you."

  "Already? I thought it would take you much longer?"

  "You said it was an emergency so I got right on it. And we got lucky 'cause one of my homeboys be in that neighborhood that Parish lives in a lot. So he know everything the streets talking 'bout."

  "So what you find out?"

  "That nigga got diarrhea of the mouth. He been tellin' everybody and they mother that will listen that he got this chick for a 100 stacks and he planning on going back for more."

  "I knew it was that dirty dick nigga who robbed me!"

  "Yo' gut instinct was right. So what you want me to do?"

  "You already know how this shit is going down."

  "I'm on it then."

  "Hold on. Did your guy hear anything about Rico, like was he in on it?"

  "From what my partner heard it was a one man operation which consisted of only Parish."

  "Cool. Well you know what to do."

  "I got you. I'll call you when it's done." I wanted to toss my IPhone across the fuckin' room I was so pissed. I despised the fact that the snake who robbed me, my enemy had been in my space and around my daughter. The only thing that gave me solace was the nigga would be deleted soon. The only other thing that made this bitter pill a little easier to swallow was that Rico wasn't involved. I couldn't stand the nigga but Destiny adores her daddy and I would've hated to delete that nigga too.

  "Is everything okay?" I was startled and jumped when I felt Cameron's hand on my shoulder and heard his voice. "I didn't mean to scare you. You ok did something happen?"

  "I'm good. My mother has some personal things going on and she was just talking my ear off but I'm fine."

  "Is your mother okay?"

  "Oh yeah, she's fine. My mother can be extra dramatic sometimes. But everything is good with her. But you know what I would like."

  "What, tell me?"

  "I would love for us to leave."

  "You're not enjoying the party? You're ready to go back home already? I was looking forward to spending some time with you tonight."

  "That's what I want too. But instead of sharing you with a crowd I would rather have some alone time with you."

  "Really, you want some alone time with me?"

  "Yes. So what's it gonna be? Stay here and mingle or go back to your place and get to know each other even better?"

  "Babe, you ain't said nothing but a thang…lets go." Cameron took my hand and rushed me outta there so fast I didn't even have time to say goodbye to Blair or even see Kennedy. But they could wait because I was anxious to finally be with my man.

  It felt like we had snapped our fingers and went from the party to Cameron's bed, that's how fast we seemed to have gotten there. We couldn't keep our hands off each other. All this sexual tension had built up and we were like two animals clawing at each other. When Cameron unzipped my dress, as he slid it down he kissed every curve on my body until it had fallen to the floor. Then he lifted me up like I was as light as paper and wrapped my legs around his waist. His muscular arms held me up, as my hardened nipples got lost in his moist mouth. He swallowed them like he couldn't get enough.

  "Oh Cameron," I moaned as his tongue went back and forth teasing each breast until all I wanted was all of him inside of me. The more I moaned the more he licked and kissed until layin
g me down on the bed and lifting my ass up while his tongue went from my nipples to my sugar walls. The strokes of his tongue started slow and deliberate touching each part of my clit with precision. As Cameron's tongue went deeper and deeper inside of me, he began working me into a frenzy. My legs were shaking in anticipation of the climax I felt my body about to reach. Then when I thought I couldn't take anymore he stopped.

  "You tasted so good."

  "Why did you stop?" I asked in a low tone because I was practically out of breath.

  "Because my tongue tasted you now my dick wants to feel inside of you." Cameron stood up and took off his shirt, pants and when he stepped out of his boxers my heart dropped for a second. I had seen my fair share of dicks but his shit was seriously intimidating. And clearly Cameron could see the fear in my eyes.

  "Baby, I'll be gentle. I'll try my hardest not to hurt you." Now it made sense why this nigga wasn't stressing me for sex, he probably knew I would be ready to run for dear life.

  "Cameron, to say you're very well endowed would be an understatement."

  "If you don't want to go any further I understand."

  "No I want to."

  "Are you sure?"

  "I'm positive." And as big as Cameron's dick was I did want to continue. His tongue action had me so horny I was willing to take whatever pain he brought my way. I leaned forward and locked lips with Cameron, letting him know I was serious. The fear I felt was the type I welcomed. I positioned myself comfortably on the bed never losing eye contact with him. He took the tip of his dick and gently slid it up and down the center of my wet pussy as the juices dripped on the tip. With each slide he gently maneuvered the thickness of his tool deeper inside of me. My cries of pleasure and pain became louder and louder until all of him was resting peacefully inside of me. My legs had spread so far apart so my insides could welcome all of him.

  "Oh, Diamond, you don't know how fuckin' good you feel. I wish my dick could stay inside of you forever."

  "Me too," I purred, loving how he filled me up. After a few minutes my walls seemed to become comfortable with having Cameron's dick inside of me and my ass and hips were able to get into it and move to the rhythm of his thrust. "Baby, I love you I found myself saying. I couldn't help myself and I didn't want to.

  "Diamond, I love you too." Those were the last words I remembered hearing before losing myself in complete ecstasy.

  In the middle of the night I woke up cuddled up under Cameron. I didn't want to move but I had to go to the bathroom so bad. I slid from up under him slowly trying my best not to wake him because he was sleeping so peacefully. I was somewhat sore when I got up but my crazy ass was ready to have that dick right back up in me after I finished going to the bathroom. Before I went though I decided to check my phone. I saw that I missed that dudes call so I took my cell in the bathroom with me so I could hit him back. When I called it rang a few times and then went to voicemail. I tried one more time and it did the same shit. I figured he called to let me know everything was done and I could sleep in peace knowing that snake was a thing of the past, and now he was probably knocked out. So I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and got back in bed with my man so we could have a round two. First I was scared of the dick now I couldn't get enough of it.

  Kennedy

  It had been four days since Darcy had been gone and I was dreading the fact she would be back in three. I had been so productive with my own shit with her out the way. With the photos I got of Blair from the multiple events she attended over the last few weeks, I was able to service them to all the major blogs and from that it sparked interest from several print magazines. Many of them set up interviews with her and I was working on getting some features. This required a lot of talking on the phone and back and forth with emails. If Darcy had been in the office I would've never been able to get all this done. Right when I was about to follow up with another potential lead my cell started ringing and it was an LA number.

  "Fuck, I wonder if this is Darcy calling me from a landline," I said out loud not wanting to hear her voice. "Hello."

  "Hey, Kennedy, this is Marcus Powell. Did I catch you at a bad time."

  "No, not at all. How are you?"

  "I'm great. It was really good seeing you last week. And I enjoyed talking to Blair. That young lady has a lot of potential."

  "I told you. Does that mean you're calling because you have a movie role for her?"

  "Not yet but I promise you she is on my mind. And when I believe the right part has come up I will definitely be giving you a call so she can come in for an audition."

  "I'm going to hold you to that, Marcus."

  "Kennedy, you know I'm a straight shooter. I don't say anything I don't mean."

  "You won't get an argument with me about that. So I'm sure a busy man like you didn't call just to tell me that."

  "No, I actually have a job proposition for you. You told me you're trying to branch out and you need clients in order to do that."

  "I'm listening."

  "I've seen you in action I know your work ethic and I believe you won't disappoint me. That's why I want you on this project."

  "So what's the project?"

  "Lionsgate is having me oversee a new small movie division and I want you to handle the PR."

  'That might be a little difficult since you're based in LA."

  "We're having a main office that will be located in New York so you're right where you need to be. If you do decide to take the project on you will have to travel to LA on occasion but you'll be handling mostly everything from New York. And it's paying $10,000 a month."

  "Nothing like that movie money."

  "Yeah, our budgets are a little bit bigger."

  "So are you in?"

  "Let me think it over. When do you need your answer?"

  "As soon as possible but by the end of the week will suffice."

  "I will definitely be in touch."

  "Kennedy, this is an incredible opportunity. I hope you don't let it slip through your fingers. Hope to hear from you soon. Bye."

  "Bye, and Marcus, thanks for thinking of me."

  "Always my pleasure."'

  When I hung up with Marcus I looked at my watch and realized I was late for my lunch date with Diamond. I grabbed my purse and headed out because not only did I hate being late I was also starving.

  "Diamond, I'm so sorry I'm late!" I said sitting down at the table.

  "Girl please, as many times you've had to wait on me. "

  "But you know how anal I am when it comes to being punctual. I got caught up on some business calls and got completely sidetracked."

  "I figured you got caught up in work since that's all you do."

  "What can I say I'm a workaholic."

  "I admire that about you though."

  "Trust me, there's nothing to admire about that. So you know I always love spending time with you but when you called you made it sound so urgent that we meet. What's going on? Wait, before you get started let me order something to eat. I haven't had a bite of anything all day and you know how evil I can get when I'm starving."

  "Oh I know. That's why I already put your order in for your favorite…the grilled chicken Cobb salad. And of course I got your Bellini."

  "Diamond, you are the best. So go 'head, Honey, no more interruptions from me."

  "So, I've been thinking and I came up with somewhat of a brilliant idea."

  "Do tell because if anybody can come up with a brilliant idea is you."

  "As you know I've made a lot of investments that have paid off very well for me financially and I wanted to do something that could help me build a future."

  "Something like what?"

  "Like starting my own business or maybe partnering up with someone." Diamond was giving me this weird look and I wasn't able to get a read.

  "I think starting your own business would be a good look. You just have to make sure you pick something you know a lot about and that you partner with somebody that's also b
ringing something to the table since you're the one who's coming with the money."

  "I totally agree. That's why I was thinking we could partner up together"

  "Us, doing what?"

  "A public relations company. You've been saying how sick you are of working for Darcy. She's never going to pay you what you deserve so why don't you be your own boss. We could be 50/50 partners."

  "Are you serious, Diamond? I had no idea you had an interest in PR."

  "I'm a people person and love going out that's a start."

  "I suppose but you do know how much work and dedication comes into starting a new company?"

  "Of course. Kennedy, you know I always give my all at whatever I do."

  "True but this isn't a job you'll be doing on your own you'll have a partner."

  "I understand that but I think we would make great partners. I know it won't be easy but I think it's worth trying. You don't agree?"

  "I do think we would be good partners but I just don't want to…" my voice trailed off.

  "Want to what, say it."

  "You're the one that's bringing the money."

  "But you're bringing the experience."

  "What if that's not enough and I disappoint you?"

  "Is that what you're worried about?"

  "Yes. I would hate to partner up with you and then I don't meet your expectations."

  "Anytime you do a startup you're taking risks but that's part of the business. But I rather take those risks with you than with anybody else."

  "I feel the same way. This might actually work. And you know what, I did get a call today about taking on a new project for a small movie studio and they are offering $10,000 a month. I was reluctant about taking it on because I felt it might be too much for me to take on by myself but if I had a partner I would feel more confident about doing so. And I know Tammy my intern would definitely want to join our team."

  "So does this mean you're in?"

  "Yeah…I think I am. Make that a yes!"

  "Kennedy, you will not regret this. We're going to make an awesome team."

  "So you're positive this is what you want and you're not going to change your mind?"

  "I do want this and I need it."

  "What do you mean you need it?"
