THE ONE FOR ME
Chapter 5
"What's up Fizzle? How was the date last night?" Omari asked Fizz as they prepared for a photoshoot.
"It was nice. I learned a lot more about her," Druex answered.
"Did you have to meet her parents?" Omari asked.
"Actually I did O. They were there when I picked her up and when I say she looks like her mother, I mean she looks exactly like her mother. Her mom's is bad and her mother looks like that at forty? Yo imagine what Samantha would look like at that age. I swear that girl has some amazing gene's. Her mother was cool though. Her pop's was the one that I had to worry about but her mother kept him in check. I think that was planned," Druex said with a chuckle.
"I have to admit that your girl is a cutie and she can dress her ass off. Did you see that shirt she wore yesterday? That shirt was...nice," Omari said as he tied up his timberlands.
"You're stupid dude, but she did look damn good in that shirt," Druex said before walking out of their dressing room and going out to the set.
It was around ten in the morning and Samantha was in the gym working out with her personal trainer. Samantha was in the middle of doing crunches when Tony, her trainer, said, "I saw you on MTV last night Sam."
"Oh, you saw me on TRL yesterday?" Samantha asked as she worked on her second set of crunches.
"Nah, I didn't even know you were on TRL yesterday," Tony answered before he started to beat on her abs.
"Then when did you see me exactly?" Sam asked through gritted teeth.
"I saw you on MTV news. They had you with a guy from that group you like. I think the group's name is Back...no that's not it Blackstre...no that's not it either. They're new song is Bump, Bump, Bump...the one with P Diddy," Tony said as he kept hitting Samantha's stomach.
"What the hell! How did anyone even know we were going out. Damn MTV! Sometimes I can't stand my Godfather's company. They're always in somebody's business," Samantha said as she finished her last crunch.
"Yeah, well at least you don't have to worry about being overly secretive now. I mean the public probably already knows about you two being close 'friends' if not a couple yet," Tony said trying to be optimistic.
"Yeah but I really don't need the hassle right now. I have a little too much on my plate with my exams that I have to take in a couple of weeks and then there is the Christmas party that my parent's are having," Samantha said while she did her push-ups.
"Don't worry about it too much. If your boy calls and makes a big deal out of it then you'll discuss the new terms of your relationship. If he doesn't care what the people think then you shouldn't care. I mean they are his fans," Tony said as he watched her do her first set of push-ups.
"Maybe you're right," Samantha huffed.
"I know I'm right," Tony said with a smirk on his face, "Your boy is so lucky that I'm older than you because I would steal you from him in the moment."
"As flattering as that is Tony I wouldn't exactly want Kevin coming down on me because I took his man," Samantha said sarcastically.
"That was a low blow," Tony said with a chuckle.
After the photoshoot Druex found himself in a meeting with the other guys at their hotel. Apparently some reporters had found out about him and Samantha so now PR had to do some damage control. The only thing was that Druex didn't want to lie too much about the situation because he didn't want to offend Samantha in anyway. The only thing left to do was to wait and see what would happen. It wasn't like he was getting married and he trusted his fans to be happy for him. It wasn't like Samantha was some snotty gold digging chick, she was a cool person who always livened up any situation. There was never a boring moment with her.
The weeks until Samantha's Christmas party trickeled down until it was the night of the event and Samantha found herself getting ready. Her parents had decided to go with a color scheme that they wanted her to go with. Her mother was wearing a long gold silk Gucci dress with matching shoes, her father was wearing a black Armani suit with a gold and black tie. Samantha had searched for something in gold that she liked.
It had taken her almost a month but she had found the perfect outfit a few days ago. It was a gold pantsuit that she had found in the XOXO Catalog. It had a satin jacket that looked almost like a fancy jean jacket, a silk pink/white/gold halter top, with slim pants that had a wide waistband that was low rise with a front zip. She walked into her closet and slipped on a pair of gold Rene Caovilla shoes that had a four-inch heel and a pearl ankle strap. She put her hair up in a nice french twist with pearl and gold hair pins to keep it in place. She then went into the bathroom and did her make-up flawlessly.
As soon as she applied the last stroke of her lip brush there was a knock on her door and she immediately knew that it was her parents so she sighed, put a small amount of make up in her gold Gucci purse then opened her door and joined her parents in the hall way. Once they were all together they made the transition from their condo to the awaiting limo that would be taking them to Tavern on the Green.
"So is your boyfriend coming?" Samantha's mother asked.
"I'm sure. If he has the time then he'll come," Samantha answered.
"That's a nice suit. Where'd you get it from?" her mother asked as she looked her up and down with appreciation.
"I ordered it from the XOXO Christmas Catalog," Samantha responded, "They have some cute suits so when I couldn't find an outfit I liked from any of the stores downtown, I decided to try Victoria and of course they had exactly what I was looking for."
They pulled up to their party a few minutes later and was immediately thrust into entertainment mode. Samantha moved over toward's her friends, whom were there with their parents. There were also a couple of other people from their school that were in attendance but this wasn't exactly Samantha's party so she didn't see it fit to 'smooze' with people she really didn't care for.
"So how've you guys been?" Samantha asked her friends.
"We've been good," Asia said speaking for her and Angelo.
"I think the boy can speak for himself Asia," Samantha said with a giggle.
"I've been great sweetie," Angelo said with a smile on his face.
"And the rest of you?" Samantha said.
"I've been great girl and I already miss our summer trip," Shadae said while getting a nod of agreement from Keora.
"And you boys," Samantha asked.
"I couldn't be better. Thanks for the invite," Tyvelle said.
"Oh please Ty. You know good and well that you would be invited. After two years you're just as much my friends as anyone here," Samantha said to Shadae's boyfriend.
"Yeah I have to agree with Ty for the invite," Kenneth said.
"Aight. Now have fun. We have carrot cake, chocolate cake, red velvet cake, as well as an assortment of sea and soul food," Samantha said while motioning to the food tables.
"So where's you man?" Shadae asked.
"I'm not sure. He'll be here though if he can make it," Samantha said before someone gently grabbed her around the waist.
She looked up and saw the looks on her friends face and her breath sucked in her throat then she heard a woman's voice, "Let the girl breath boy."
She turned around to see Durex in a nice black suit with a white satin tie. His hair was in a neat pony tail and a pair of glasses graced his face making him look not only sexy and innocent but like an intelligent young businessman.
"Hi I'm Natalie Fredericks, Druex's mother, and it's nice to finally meet you," his mother said.
"It's nice to meet you too. Why don't I take you to meet my parents," Samantha said to Mrs. Fredericks then turned back to Druex, "You can either come with us or you can stay here with my friends while I introduce your mother to my parents. You've already met Shadae, Keora and Asia but the guy next to Asia is her boyfriend Angelo, the one next to Shadae is her boyfriend Tyvelle, and the guy next to Keora is her boyfriend Kenneth," Samantha said before walking off with Mrs. Fredericks.
Samantha and Druex had been chillin' with her friends for the last couple of hours only dispersing when they went to dance with their significant others. It was almost midnight and the party was still going strong. Druex and Samantha were in the middle of a conversation with Keora and Kenneth when his mother came over towards him and pulled him to the side.
"Sweetie, I'm tired so I'm going to head back to the hotel. I'll see you in the morning and don't stay out so late. I just want you to know that you've picked a good one. She seems to really like you," Mrs. Fredericks said before she flipped over her cell phone to call a cab.
"Excuse me Mrs. Fredericks but if you don't mind me asking how did y'all get here?" Samantha asked as she walked up to them.
"I rode with Druex and his security," his mother replied.
"Why don't you ride back with Druex's security and I'll take Druex back to the hotel when he's ready to leave," Samantha offered.
"I think I'll do that," Mrs. Fredericks replied before walking off to find Druex's security.
"So exactly how long are you staying up here?" Samantha asked Druex.
"Until the end of the week and I expect to be spending the majority of it with you because only God knows when the next time I'll have a break," Druex said before kissing Samantha quickly on the forehead then engaging back into the conversation with her friends.
Around one-thirty in the morning the party was slowing down and Druex mentioned that he was getting tired so Samantha told her parents that she was leaving. She and Druex walked to her awaiting limo and situated themselves so that they were in a comfortable position. Samantha had her head resting on Druex's lap and he had one hand laying carelessly over her waist and the other messing in her hair.
Since it was so late, they got to her condo quicker than usual and Samantha had the limo driver go back to the party before she ushered Druex in her building. They rode the elevator leaning on each other for support. When they got to her floor they left and walked to her door. She took her keys out of her purse and opened the door and motioned for him to walk in before she closed and locked the door.
"I'm going to chance out of this suit and into something comfortable. It'll take me about five to ten minutes. You can sit in the living room and watch TV if you want," Samantha said before she walked into her room.
She quickly took off her clothes and hung them before she opened her bottom drawer and took out a pair of baggy fitting gray sweat pants and a a yellow NIKEY shirt that was one size too big and threw them on. She put on a pair of white ankle socks then put on her gray and yellow air macs and left her room to find Druex laying on the couch with his eyes closed.
"Baby wake up," Samantha said to him but he just sunk deeper into the sofa.
She shook her head and sat next to him when an idea crossed her mind. She leaned over to him and kissed him softly on the lips then lifted her head to see if that got a response. He just moaned a bit then went back to the way he was. She leaned down and kissed him again only this time he responded. He gently held her head in place while his tongue begged entrance to her mouth. She happily granted him permission and shivered as their tongues interwined.
"Come on baby. I promised your mama that I'd get you back to the hotel," Samantha said as he lifted herself off of the comfortable sofa and produced her hand to help him up.
"Aight. Come on," he said softly before yawning and walking out of the condo.
