THE ONE FOR ME
Chapter 3
It had been a couple of days since Samantha got back home and she and Druex had talked a couple of times since that night in the Bahamas. It was a week before school started and even though Samantha had to wear a uniform, a year never passed without her going 'school shopping' for new clothes. She was freshly showered and had applied lotion and powder in the respective places before she went to put on some underwear.
She pulled out a purple and blue lace underwire bra and matching low rise thong set and put them on before walking to her closet and pulling out something to wear. She decided on a purple ribbed 2 B Free tank top, a pair of low rise Citizens of Humanity jeans that had a rhinestone chain belt hanging off her hip, and a pair of purple flip flops graced her painted toes. She walked over to her dresser and picked up her purple tented sunglasses and her purse before walking out of her room, out of the condo, down the elevator, and into the car that waited for her.
"Good morning Miss Van Buren," her driver said politely.
"Good morning Paul," she responded sweetly.
"So where to miss?" he asked.
"Gucci," she answered.
Samantha got home six hours later with three door men helping her with her bags. She loved to shop and being that her parents gave her their platinum cards, she was charging everything. She waited until the door men placed her bags by her door before opening her purse and handing each of them a fifty dollar bill and ushering them out of her home.
She walked into her room and kicked off her shoes before walking back into the livingroom to pick up her bags. Once she had all of her new clothes in her room she picked up the first bag and started to put everything up in their respective places. After an hour into putting her new clothes away someone knocked on her door.
"Yes?" Samantha called out.
"It's me sweetie. Can I come in?" a female voice asked.
"Of course ma," Samantha asked and she jumped up and opened the door.
Samantha opened the door to reveall her mother who stood patiently with her long brown hair in a tight bun and a chevron turtleneck sweater that had a ribbed trim and was sand colored with brown designs. She also wore a brown leather knee length skirt and a pair of dark brown/sand leather kidskin boots that had a 3 1/2 inch heel.
"What's up ma?" Samantha asked.
Her mother walked into the room and sat on her bed. "I never did get the chance to ask you about your vacation. So...how was it?"
"It was so fun. We stayed by the beach most of the time but we did go to a couple of parties and MTV sponsored events. I even met a cute guy while I was there," Samantha said while she put her new underwear in the top drawer of her dresser.
"Really? What was he like?" her mother asked.
"He was such a sweetie. He's a little shy but he also has a lot of confidence in what he does and what he is. We sat and talked for hours about anything and everything. He is cute, smart, and has pretty hair," Samantha asked.
"What does he look like?" her mother asked.
"Well, he has beautiful chocolate eyes, straight pearly while teeth, thick eyebrows, a nose that is perfect for his face, a full pink lips. He has a beautiful smile that looks like he almost have dimples...he just has the perfect attributes for his body," Samantha answered.
"I would say so. He sounds like a cutie. So how old is he," Alicia, her mother, asked.
"He'll be seventeen in a couple of months," Samantha answered.
"You're going out with a younger guy?" Alicia asked in disbelief.
"I haven't officially gone out with him yet but he is a little younger than me," Samantha answered.
"He must be something then. This is the first time I've ever heard of you being interested in a guy younger then you let alone trying to get him to be your man," Alicia said as she took a pin out of her hair and letting her hair fall down below her shoulders.
"From what I know about him he seems to be worth the chance of risking my heart," Samantha said as she hung up the last outfit.
"Yeah, well get to know him a little bit more first before you bring him home to meet your father. While he knows you've gotten older, you're still his baby girl and I don't thik he'll take an immediate liking to anyone you plan on bringing home," Alicia said before getting up and walking out of the room.
School had been going on for almost four months now and Samantha was hating it already. Although she did extremly well in school, she hated it with a passion. The bell had rung signaling that the day was over and she got up from her desk, placed her english paper on the teacher's desk before walking out of the room. As she entered the she was met up with Shadae.
"Hey girl," Samantha said to her friend.
"What's up chica? You going to TRL studios today?" Shadae ashed her.
"Why would I be going to TRL today?" Samantha asked as she walked over to the car that was waiting for her.
"Because your man is going to be on the show today with his boys. I thought you knew this," Shadae said looking at her like she was crazy.
"For real? I didn't even know. Usually my Kevin (her god-father and the owner of MTV) would tell me when certain groups would be coming. I guess I should give him a call and ask him to reserve me a spot at the show," Samantha said.
"Well good luck with that and let me know how it goes. I gotta go to some dinner tonight with my parents that will ensure my time will be utterly boring. I'll call you when I get home to get the details. I'll see you later girl," Shadae said walking away to her car while clutching the leather coat she wore tighter around her body.
Samantha got in the back seat of her car and gave her driver a 'hello' before grabbing her cell phone out of her purse and calling her god-father. She hear him saying hello after a couple of rings.
"Hey papi," Samantha said as a greeting.
"Hey sweetie. How was school?" Kevin asked.
"Boring as all hell," Samantha said and smiled at the laughter her statement elicited.
"So what can I do for you?" Kevin asked.
"You can get me a spot to be on TRL today," Samantha said.
"Why is today such a special day?" Kevin asked.
"Because B2K is going to be on the show and I want to be there," Samantha said.
"I'll make a few calls so that your name is put on the list. Just bring ID okay sweetie?" Kevin replied.
"Thanks papi," Samantha said before hanging up the phone.
Twenty minutes later she was dropped off in front of her building and she quickly walked into the building. Being that she was a senior she got out of school at noon but being that traffic in New York is crazy she got home around one, which meant that she only had two hours to get dressed and to MTV studios.
She caught the elevator and rode to her floor silently contemplating what she was going to wear. When the elevator opened at her floor she quickly unlocked her door and walked in, locked the door, then made her way to her room where she began to strip out of the school uniform she wore and made her way to the bathroom where she proceeded to take a hot shower using her 'Moonlight Path' scented body wash.
Once she was so fresh and so clean [clean] she walked out of the bathroom and into her room where she rubbed on her 'Moonlight Path' scented lotion that made her skin feel silky smooth. She then walked over to her dresser and opened the top draw and took out her white lace bra and panty set and proceeded to put it on. She adjusted the bra so that it wasn't too tight and slid on her thong making sure that no part of the material was rolled or twisted.
She opened her bottom drawer and took out a pair of white ankle socks, then walked into her closet to pull out what she wanted to wear. She pulled on an almost transparent Parasuco sleeveless shirt that and smoothed it out over her stomach before continuing to get dressed.. She put on a pair of rustic black Parasuco low riding jeans that was held up by a rhinestone embedded belt. She brushed her hair so that the ends curled lightly then pulled on her black sneakers. She rolled on her clear Christian Dior gloss before she looked in the mirror and observed her outfit. She nodded with approval before picking up her purse and taking out her thin wallet and putting in her her pants pocket.
Since it was early December she knew that she needed a coat because her outfit was far from December weather attire but she felt it was appropriate because the studio would be very warm. She walked into her closet and walked to the back where she kept her coats and smiled when she noticed that her new coat would go perfectly with her outfit. It was a waist length, brown and black fur coat. The outside was velvet-soft suede and had warm shearling fur in the inside. Her mother had gotten it for her as a late birthday present from the Victoria's Secret Christmas Catalog. It had cost her mother over a thousand dollars but it was a beautiful coat.
As soon as she was dressed she left her condo and made her way out of her building where her car was waiting for her. She rode quietly as she waited for Paul to stop in front of the MTV building. When he did she was bombarded by the crowds of girls that were outside holding signs but she took a deep breath and walked out of the Escalade that had been her sixteenth birthday present but not before telling Paul to find a parking spot and wait for her.
She walked through the throngs of girls, catching the looks she was getting from some of the girls when they saw the coat she wore. She ignored their looks and walked to the front door where she showed her ID, was presented with a pass for the show, and caught an elevator to the tenth floor where the show would be taped. She walked into the room and saw a lot of girls already sitting but when the producer saw her she was engulfed with a warm hug and was put in a back seat, at her request, near the window.
Samantha took off her coat and placed it in her lap while she waited for the show to start. She sat back and waited patiently for the show to begin. She looked around the room and noticed the amount of girls who looked excited to be here yet didn't have their hair done, neither perfessionally or neatly. She didn't understand how someone had stood outside in the cold and waited just for a chance of being able to meet their favorite celebrity but to come here looking like they just rolled out of bed and neglected to do anything about their outside appearance.
Five minutes before the show started the guys of B2K walked out of the back room and onto the stage. They looked around at the girls screaming their name but Samantha caught Omari's eye before any of them and she saw his jaw drop when he saw her shirt. Samantha just smiled while thinking, 'typical male'.
Omarion tapped Fizz and motioned his head toward Samantha and Fizz's reaction toward Samantha was much like Omarion's. Fizz pulled his eyes away from her as the show started and was somewhat bashful when the girl that was selected to interview them asked to see their chests and what they slept in.
Samantha sat in her spot and laughed at how excited everyone was getting. Samantha was a fan of B2K but she wasn't a die-hard-fan so she didn't know everything there was to know about them. She thught they looked good but the only one who was her type of Druex and she knew him well enough to know that he wasn't fully comfortable with the what the girl was asking.
After the mini interview ended the guys went through the countdown while doing a few games to earn their fans gifts. When the show ended Samantha had a greater respect for the members of B2K. They really did care for their fans and tried to make everyone in the studio have a lot of fun while they were there.
When the show went off the producer ushered everyone out of the studio and the fans gladly did as they were told being that they just had the time of their lives with their favorite celebrities. Samantha's row was the last to leave and being that she was sitting by the window, she was the last in line to leave the studio. Pam, the producer, didn't really rush her to leave after the girl before her left the studio.
Pam liked Samantha and knew that Samantha was Kevin's god-daughter so she didn't really pressure her to leave like she did everyone else. Samantha got up slowly and draped her coat over her arms before walking over to the guys. She gave Druex a warm hug before letting him go and smiling at the other guys who were staring at her.
"Hey," Samantha said while she put on her coat.
"Hey Samantha," Omarion, Jarell, and Razz said in unison.
"Why didn't Pamela send you out like everyone else?" Druex asked.
"My god-father owns MTV studios so I tend to get special treatment and that's besides the fact that Pam and I are cool," Samantha said before putting her hands in her coat pocket.
"I'm about to go but I just wanted to say hey," Samantha said before turning and walking towards the door.
"Do you want to go out with me tonight?" Druex asked.
Samantha turned around and looked at him for a minutes then said, "Sure. Why don't you pick me up around eight," then got a piece of paper from Pam and wrote down her address.
With that done Samantha gave Druex a soft kiss on his cheek then walked out of the door.
