Melodies and Promises

Jettley blinked twice. "I thought it was you, too. Yes, I'm heading to work." he looked at his tux. It was all he practically ever work since he was running back and forth from business to business. As she chatted, he was still confused with himself. "As a owner of a corporation you don't get many "days off" Camie." he explained, but it was friendly. Why was he here?!" When she popped a berry in her glorious mouth, he looked at the small carton labeled organic. Good. It have him a sense of relief she was taking care of herself, he would accept organic at the least. "Sorry?" he tilted his head, shocked by his reference as rich man. "What's Hookie?" he asked. She looked happy to see him despite the incident. But he couldnt allow himself to get attached. He didn't want anyone in his life who thought of him more then Jettley Kaiden.

Camie laughed. She shook her head. "Don't go into work. Turn off your phone and have a day off, I am sure you deserve it. And it's not like the company is going to fall apart if you are gone for one day." She said and gave him a dazling smile. "Besides like I said it is a beautiful day. And if you wanted company all you have to do is ask." She said softly her eyes vulnerable and her ears turning bright red with the soft blush on her cheeks. Camie carefully slipped another berry into her mouth almost afraid of his answer. She knew it was a long shot that someone like him would even consider spending a day with someone like her.

He sighed. This wasn't the first time this had happened. "Oh." he said. "Camie..." he started, and looked down and away from her. "I'm not the type of person a girl like you should hang around with long. I know you don't understand, but it really isn't a good idea. Do you need a ride somewhere? I can get my personal driver to come and get you." he offered, not wanting to have her heated presence within a meter of him. She did something to him he couldn't explain, and as much pleasure as it caused him to know she cared and thought of him, he hated it. It was a bad idea to slow down. He never should've slowed down, and at that moment his phone rang. "Excuse me.." he mumbled. It was Alicia. "Yes Alice?" he said professionally. "Yes, I know. I'm on my way." he said grouchily. It was still too early in the morning for him.

Camie frowned. "I wasn't asking for a long time... I was asking for a day. A girl like me Jettley can take care of herself. I have my own car. Sorry I bothered you. Have a good day Jettley and think about that day off. You will break if you don't take one now and then." She said and stepped back. "Good bye." She turned and started to walk back into the market feeling sick. Why did she say that? Stupid. It was to soon, anyways he would never want anything to do with you. Her conscience laughed at her and it only made her angry. She huffed and looked around in a blind haze not really wanting to be here anymore but she needed a few more things. Maybe she should come back later when her head was clear.

Oh, great. She was mad. He looked out the window in a blaze his blue eyes controlling and angry too. She had no right to be angry, he was doing what was best for her, not for him. Alice's gentle voice cooed him, only making him angrier. "...Jett?" she whispered. He opened his side door and got out. "I'll be there, Alice." he hissed and stuffed his phone in his pocket. "Camie!" He growled. "You don't have a fucking right to be angry at me. I have done nothing to you, I'm helping you. Now do you need a fucking ride or not because I don't trust your 'car', if you even consider it a car so get in my car right now or I will get my personal driver here and tie you up and take you home." he was furious, and he didn't even know her. The things this women did to him was insane. Now he was late for work.

Camie turned looking up at him. She frowned and shook her head. "Who ever said I was angry with you?" She asked because it was true, she wasn't angry with him. She was angry with herself. "And you have no right to tell me what to do. My car is just fine! Mr. Kaiden just who do you think you are?" Camie asked looking up at his angry face feeling a twinge of fear that she ignored. "You have no right to say what is safe or good for me! You are a stranger to me and here you are bossing me around." She said and shook her head. She was so angry with him now. "I wont go with you or your driver because my car gets me around and to work."

"I think I'm the person who's going to spare your life Camie, so don't even question it." his controlling side came in. "If you're going to be stubborn I swear to god I will call my driver and he will follow you everywhere to make sure you're safe. When he's sleeping, I will get my spare driver. I swear, Camie." he said. He wasn't bristling anymore, but he stood tall and broad crossing his arms his blue gaze viciously looking down on hers. "I won't consider your mode of transportation safe until I get it fully inspected by my auto insurance and my car caretaker."

Camie's mouth dropped open. She stood there a moment. "Why?" She shook her head. "You won't spend a day with me but you will have your drivers follow me around, take my car to get it inspected, why? Why does it matter?" She asked looking confused up at him. She stepped closer having to look even further up at him. "Do you care about my safety?" She watched his face to gadge his thoughts. "Why would you? Jettley you don't even know me." She said softly her eyes softened but confused creating that crease on her forehead.

When she took a step forward, Jett frowned and took a step back flattening his suit. "Camie we can't be friends. We can't be anything more then just acquaintances. I want to help you, and you can't argue." he said sternly ignoring her questions. "If you need a job, so be it. I will find you one that can actually support your lifestyle, you clearly need a car, and some more food. Eating berries all day isn't filling. Please take care of yourself." he said and reached behind for his wallet. "My driver will be here in 3 minutes, finish your grocery shopping. Buy as much as you need." He handed her a $50 bill, and turned around getting back in his car pulling the gear to drive and drove away towards his building before calling his driver Bluetooth on and letting his driver know where to go. He waited 10 blocks down and parked to make sure the limo being driven by his driver came for her, and when he knew he was going the right direction Jett finally made it to work.

@ missysipi
Camie frowned. "No..." she went to argue but he left. She but her lip and shook her head putting the 50 in her basket to have the driver give it back to Mr. Kaiden. She was not taking his money. She didn't even want his ride. She bought a little more with the money she made from work. When the limo pulled up she groaned. "Really." She shook her head and opened the front door handing the driver the money. "I rather walk. Tell Mr. Kaiden that I wont take his charity. Have a good day." She said and closed the door. Camie was so angry now. She went to her car grabbing her jacket and then headed toward her place 7 miles away. She didn't care if the limo followed her the entire way she would not get in.

"Ms-" he started, but she had already closed the door. The driver expected it as Mr. Kaiden had told him, and he was instructed to follow her so he did the whole 7 miles. He called Mr. Kaiden to let him know the situation.

When Jett got the phone call from his driver, his forehead furrowed and he put a hand on his face. "What now." he said, after just sitting down in his office reading over a couple agreements. "What did she buy? That it? Shit Max, I told you to make sure she got the 50. Well stay with her until she decides to take it. Where does she live? If I have to I will give it to her personally. Okay, thanks." He hung up just as Alice came in with a conference call. Jett sighed, but cleared his throat and chattered professionally over the phone. Alice sat down on the chair in the front of Jett's large desk and crossed her legs adjusting her long pencil skirt and brushing a piece of fringe back until Jett was done. "Jett, I'm sorry to interrupt but Mr. Hilfinner wanted to meet you in Colorado." Jett threw his head back and groaned loudly. "Can you reschedule it to next month." he mumbled. Alicia nodded. She was the only person in the whole until allowed to call him Jett.
He needed some time off to breathe, the last few weeks had been so crowded with Camie in it.

Camie got to her apartment and glared at the limo shooing him away with her hands as she marched up the stairs. When she got in her apartment she locked the door and set about preparing things for meals through the week. She cleaned her house after that. She had the music turned up rather loudly. She sang and danced to it as she cleaned having changed into some older comfortable cleaning cloths that were just a tad to tight. She had her hair up in a messy bun that bounced wih her movements. Camie was trying to clean away the memory of Jettley. She could still see his piercing blue eys and smell his intoxicating sent that was all consuming. She skipped lunch just to angry to eat after Jettley.

Jett spent the whole day answering phones, striking deals, looking at stocks, and signing agreements. He took the elevator down for a cup of coffee instead of getting Alice to send it up to him, seeing a few of his employees lounging around. "Get your ass back in your office." he growled, finishing his coffee and setting it down on the counter. When he was finally able to leave his confinements, Alicia had scheduled him for an interview with some university seniors studying economics so he stayed back and answered questions and when he was finally able to leave home, he went to the address Max had told him earlier. His memory was pristine and he saw the long dark limo still parked on the curb of the road. Jett pulled up behind it.

Camie had just finished cleaning up dinner and she was going to take a bubble bath with candles and a nice glass of cheap wine. She opened the chilled bottel to let it breath. Camie picked up her laundry basket to go get her cloths from the laundry matt just down the road. She grabbed her keys and walked out shaking her head at the limo still there. She headed down the street grabbing her cloths and tossing them in her basket not wanting to be out long then she needed to be. Camie was walking back to her apartment when she saw that car. She gribbed her basket tighter and stormed back up to her apartment growling quietly seeing him standing there still in his suit. Camie pretended like she couldn't hear him and she didn't even acknowledge him. She opened her door dropping her basket just inside and turned to close the door but he was there stopping her.

Jett was leaning into the window of the limo leaving his car started yelling at Max, who diligently handed him back the $50 which he snatched and ripped throwing it in the limo when he saw her making a dash with... a laundry basket? He walked towards the apartment building to wait till she got back, and when she did she looked mad. When she was about to slam the door he grabbed it and with ease held it in place. "What are you doing?" he asked calmly while she looks furious. He was still in his suit, but it had been a long day so his tie was crooked and his hair was starting to hang again.

Camie frowned and shook her head. "You are asking me that?" She shook her head throwing her hands up in the air as she walked into the kitchen still visable from the door. "Close the door you will let all the bugs in." She said with no particular emotion as she poured a large glass of wine. It was larger than it would have been 10 minutes ago. She took a strong gulp and set it down hanging her head as she felt it rush to her head. "What are you doing here Jettley?" She hissed looking at him from where she stood glad to have something between them. "If you are here about the money so help me..." she crossed her arms over his chest. "I will not take your charity."

"It's not a charity." he said simply glancing at Max before shutting the door and leaning against it respectfully. "Easy Camie, you might regret it in the morning." he walked towards her and grabbed her glass setting it on his side of the counter. She looked annoyed but he could care less. "I'm here because Max said you bought a carton of berries and some corn. Seriously Camie? I said to take care of yourself, not to starve yourself. And to my defense, I warned you my driver would follow you all day. Do you even know how much I pay them. If they disobey anything they'll get their ass out on the streets, so take the money or I'll tip it to you when the diner opens." he threatened.

Camie glared at him as he took her glass like a child. She laughed at what the limo driver said she had. "He obviously didn't see everything in my basket. I bought bread and honey, milk and more eggs." She wouldn't admit it but it was his generous tips that let her splerge on the honey and bread. Camie shook her head. "I am not taking the money. I work for what I have. I don't care what you do with your money as long as you don't give it to me." She said and walked around taking the glass back from him. "You never said to take care of myself and even if I tried you are interfering. I have done fine on my own this long I think I can handle myself." She said and headed to the bathroom and started the water in the tub. "Look Jettley his argument is moot so please drop it." She set her wine on the ground by the tub before walking back to him. "I don't know why you are even here, you said we can't be more than acquaintances and this is not how acquaintances act. This is how an over controlling boyfriend acts. So pick what you want but you can't have both. Now leave so I can have my bath and get some sleep early tonight."

Sleep early tonight. Jett laughed. As if that was something he could live like. "Maybe not Camie, but are you a vegetarian or something because I don't see pork, beef, or chicken anywhere listed? I can get some from one of the farms I sponsor. He raises pigs, cows, and chickens all organic. No steroids or growth hormones. Please Camie, let me do this one thing." he offered. "I know you have done fine Camie, but your lifestyle isn't healthy. I can't see you serving me when you bump into a table and I think you're going to snap in half, or when some per-..." he stopped and never let his gaze leave her, he even followed her to the bathroom, but then he smiled. "Pick what you want? Are you offering me to be your over controlling boyfriend?" He thought it was amusing. He showed some of his pearly whites and actually felt happiness in the rare real laughter he had.

Camie didn't even respond to him wanting to bring her meat. She wasn't taking charity. She bit her lip at what sounded like concern and then anger as he thought of the old man. It made her want to reach out and comfort him but then he was laughing. She hadn't realized what she had just implied. Her ears burned and she looked down feeling sheepish. Of course he is laughing why would he want to be in a relationship with me? Camie just wanted to fade into a wall. She wouldn't mind though if he wanted to go on a date or two but she doubted he wanted that much to do with him. She probably reminded him of a sister of his or something. Camie felt aweful now. She turned and turned off the water as it filled up half way.
