*~* Friday Morning - 2:30 am *~*
"Cami girl... what you doing down here so late?"
Henry the doorman for Cami's building is getting up from his seat by the door as soon as she steps from the elevator. Startled she puts a hand to her throat
"Henry you scared me."
"I'm sorry love"
Henry is about 6'4, Heavy set with skin the colour of molasses. She guessed him to be in his late 30's but his face was smooth as if time has forgotten him. Him and Cami had hit it off right away.
"No problem. I'm waiting for someone to pick me up."
Henry raises a dark eyebrow
"That boy that was here the other night?"
"Yes."
Henry looks disapproving
"I dunno. Something strange about him. I think you are a sweet girl and can do way better for yourself. Sorry if I'm oversteppin', just the way I see it"
Cami smiles at him
"I'm used to people caring about me Henry and I know you mean well but you don't have to worry about Kuk. Not when it comes to me"
She flashes back to the night before last. Kuk showing up with what he said were the best burgers in Philly. Then sitting on the couch watching the horror films she'd rented. Gradually over the course of the film she had inadvertently gotten closer and closer until at certain points she could hide her head in his chest. He'd smelt good. Exactly how she'd remembered it. Before she knew it, she was waking up on his chest and the sky in her large windows was starting to lighten.
She had looked up to see his peaceful face. She smiled, rose and threw an Afghan that her mother made over him. Then she went to her own bed.
When she'd gotten up again hours later it was to the smell of fresh coffee and fried food she didn't know she had in stock. Kuk was using her stove as if it were the most natural thing in the world. White wife beater revealing all the ink decorating his body.
"You got a few new ones" she presses by him to get some OJ from the fridge when she feels his touch on her shoulder. She suddenly realizes that she changed to a tank top before going to bed, which now was giving Kuk a full view of her shoulder.
He pulls the strap to look at her own creation
"Apparently so do you..."
She flashes back to the present to realize that Henry is staring at her with concern.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah sorry... sometimes my mind wanders a little"
He doesn't look convinced
"I'm fine. Please don't worry about me Henry"
A black truck, older model with some obvious dents in The hood and side panels slows to a stop at the curb outside. Once again, Henry's eyebrows hit the ceiling. Kuk comes around The side.
"Thanks Henry. Guess I will see you tomorrow. "
She hoists the overnight bag higher on her shoulder before going through the doors. Henry watches discretely as the two embrace and he opens the passenger door. Even giving her a slight boost inside. When Kuk turns he sees the large man and gives a curt wave but the look on his face is unmistakable. Its a look full of venomous....henry doesn't even know how to discribe it as anything but hateful. It says one thing
"Stay the fuck away from my girl"
The truck pulls away quickly and Henry can't help but feel uneasy about his new friend going with him, even if Miss Cami did say he was good. He knew something wasn't right there.
*~* Friday Evening 5:10 PM *~*
Cami steps from the building and pulls her jacket closed as a cool breeze flips her dark hair. She wanted to get to know the city. GPS ready she starts walking.
I really am thinking that Kuk has changed but it seems its only around me. Based on that last promo there is a lot of pent up anger... it does scare me.
She smiles and shakes her head. Not much didn't scare her these days.
I just hope that he really understands why I can't jump into a relationship but that doesn't mean I don't want to try. It’s like nothing happened. I feel so safe... so warm with him but there is still that part of me that doesn't want to trust anybody. My PST is making it hard for me to see anybody as truly good. I always wonder...will this person turn on me if it suits them?
She comes to a stop at a restaurant and double checks the address. Kuk is already waiting. He’s dressed very nice. Suit jacket over a t-shirt...very 90’s chic.
She giggles and he gives her a smirk the he usually reserved only for her.
“Well don’t you clean up nice...”
He rolls his eyes and offers his arm as they walk inside the fancy restaurant. He lets go of her arm for only a moment to talk to the hostess and give his last name....one that Cami was still getting used to hearing. As they’re being led to the table he leans into her ear.
“You look very nice. Not that you don’t look beautiful all the time.”
He pulls himself straight again and she feels the blush move down her body. She still felt like a schoolgirl around him. But he had been her first and her last.
They sit at the table and the hostess walks away. Kuk reaches for her hands across the table.
“The last couple days have been great Cam... “
I just hope my news doesn't screw that up.
