Camie blushed. "It's a package from Jameson." she said still feeling weird about using his first name. She looked around before she disappeared into Lacey's room. She came back out and laughed at Lacey's comments. "Lacey you can be such a freak sometimes." she said and kissed her cheek as she took out the chocolate milk and poured herself a glass. She sat down and talked with Lacey sipping it between ranting. "Yeah. He was here. Lacey!" she shouted as her friend asked if they had sex. "He's my boss of course we didn't..." she shook her head beet red. Only Lacey could make her this red all the time. "Of course he doesn't look gay. But not all gay men look gay. And all I have ever seen him in is suits." she said and sighed. "I know Lacey you only told me a million times when I said I was going for an interview at West corporations." she said and then set her glass down as Lacey said the one thing she did not expect. Yeah it would seem like a thing a guy in love would do was to make sure the girl he cared for was well fed and taken care of. She shook her head. That couldn't be true. "Lacey stop..." She said and shook her head. "He's different Lacey. You have to meet him to understand. But he doesn't like be be fawned for. I think it makes him really uncomfortable to be the one guy in the room that every women wants to fuck and that one guy that wives would cheat on their husbands for. I don't think he likes the attention." she said and bit her lip. Then again she could be wrong he had surprised her many times already. He seemed to enjoy doing it actually like proving her wrong just made his day that much more entertaining. "And besides Lacey if Jameson West could fall in love with anyone it would most certainly not be me." she said and finished her drink setting the cup in the sink and hugging her friend. "I love you but seriously you've lost your mind with this entire just sex thing. It's made you sex crazy and irrational. I need my strong Lacey that can tell me how to go about telling him this was nice but really not needed. I don't know what to do around him Lacey because..." she frowned and looked down. "Because he is the one guy I have even known that I want to know on a much more personal level. Still he is my boss Lacey." she said and shook her head. "It's a bad idea to even entertain the idea of being with him. Trust me. He could break me in more ways that I want to think about." she said and sighed. "I have to go to work. I'll talk to you later." she said and kissed her other cheek and then grabbed her keys and walked out the door. She got in her car and started it up realizing why he probably winced at the sound of her car because after having been in his car she wanted to junk hers as well but her car was still a good one. She just had to remind herself of that. Camie drove to work thinking about everything Lacey had said and kept thinking of the same thing over and over. "He's falling for you, Cam." Lacey's voice rang in her head and she sure hoped that she didn't bump into Jameson today because it would only make her even more of a mess. Sometimes she was afraid that he could read her mind by just looking into her eyes like he did.

"Camie. Girl, look at me." She knocked on the breakfast bar to catch Camie's attention. "You're a babe. And don't let his lack of public appearances with women scare you off, I know for a fact that he probably gets a lot in the "d" as everyone on this planet would voluntarily go to their knees for him, but he just obviously isn't into commitment. It's not like you need to be exclusive or anything, the last thing we need is paparazzi chasing down our cute little apartment." Lacey got up and hugged Camie before grabbing a glass from the cabinet too pouring herself a glass of cranberry juice from the package. "I get that he probably is sick of being fawned for. Ask him yourself if he likes it." Lacey winked and hopped up on the counter. "Seriously, Cam. This is like the first guy that you actually are blushing for, I think it's about time you just let loose and enjoy yourself. Have fun at work." Lacey returned the peck as she went to pour herself another glass of cranberry.

Jameson called on one of his 100 receptionists to bring him another rye cocktail as she walked with a feminine gait to his his office holding the rye cocktail. Jameson took it and offered her a sexy smirk, taking it and holding her eyes. "Thank you, Angela." He said, before turning around and taking a seat. "Of course, Mr. West." She replied in a sweet high tone. Jameson looked at the man in front of him. "So it's settled, Mr. Johnson." He said, handing him a pen as he leaned back in his office chair. He signed the agreement, they shook hands, and Jameson stood up and Angela from earlier helped him out, and after Mr. Johnson was gone Jameson dismissed her with a pout. He sighed, happy to have made another dealing but as he dug through his folder, the file he had on the gallery caught his eye. He opened it, having to dig through several papers before finding her application. He thought about her for a moment, and wondered what she had thought of the beverages. He had to stop thinking about her, because every time he thought about her he imagined her naked on his bed. There was just something... intriguing about her the typical girl didn't get from him. But how would she ever be able to satisfy his needs? He memorized her number, and pulled out his phone.

Ms. Dyer, did you receive my package? -JW

@ rainyskies
Camie sighed thinking about it. Asking Jameson about how he felt for her. No commitment? She shook her head. She didn't want just a fling. Sure she wasn't ready for anything serious in her life but she needed more than just a fling. Camie parked and got out of her car as her phone went off. She pulled it out of her purse and then checked it. She blushed and shook her head. His timing as ever was immaculate.
Mr. West I had been meaning to call you and thank you for the package but to also assure you that my pantry is well stocked. Thank you Sir but again your concern is not necessary. –Camie
She sent and bit her lip then gave one good nod and turned off her phone not wanting to let the ringer disturb anyone in the gallery. After all she was suppose to be working. If the boss wanted to talk to her professionally he could use the company phone and email that she and Angie set up yesterday. Camie walked into the gallery and smiled seeing Angie. "Good Morning Angie." she said and took her seat at the main desk spinning a little in the chair to face Angie. "What does the schedule look like for today?" she asked wanting to know how to help and where to start. Camie was more than excited to start her official first day but there in the corner of her eye was that picture that had her belly in knots. She wanted so badly to go over and stare at it. She of course couldn't stare at the man but the picture she was allowed to stare at. Perhaps she would spend some of her lunch hour looking at the painting trying to understand a man that would send his employee a box of drinks for her kitchen because she only had one type of tea the night before. For now though Camie concentrated on the work ahead of her. She had to remember everything she learned yesterday about the phones. They where set up to be mobil and stationary. Everything was designed to work perfectly. Camie wondered how Jameson did it. She shook her head returning to what Angie was saying.

Jameson frowned, but knowing her she was not one that would make a move or any indication that she had even the smallest remotest interest in him. According to time, she should've made it to the gallery.

Are you telling me what is necessary or not? I think I have good judgement on your behalf, Ms. Dyer.
P.S: Don't stare at that painting too long. -JW

Jameson's intercom went off as one of his pretty receptionist had brought him a drink. Jameson held a button, unlocking his door as she walked in nervously biting her lip and handing him the drink. Jameson swished it in the glass, and took a swig as he thought again.

Angie turned around and jumped a little. "Oh, sorry Camie. I didn't see you there." She smiled. "Mornin' How're ya?" She walked over to the office which all the workers shared, and pointed to the wall. "Schedule's over there. We're gonna have to interchange you and Maria, the other girl that works here but she's still in school so only part time, which means you'll be taking most of the days." She smiled. "So, just so you know today we have a class coming at 4:00. Did you want to be the tourist? Give it a go?" Angie offered encouragingly.

Camie smiled at Angie. She gathered the sheet nodding as she listened. She was surprised that Angie was so quick to get her going. "So soon? I haven't had any time to study up on the artists and pieces yet though." she said and bit her lip. She guessed the should could do a quick search during lunch. "I am sure that I could work it out. Thank you Angie." she said and bit her lip a bit nervously. She would do her best. She partially wondered if she could or even should share about Mr. West's favorite painting and his contribution to the gallery. She would decide in the moment. Camie wondered if Jameson had texted her back. She remembered the last time she told him not to be concerned and she blushed remembering how he scolded her and she half knew he would stay consistent and would scold her again in his careful way. She wondered if he ever broke from his careful calculated thoughts. Camie bit her lip immediately scratching the thought from her mind seeing how quickly it slipped into thoughts that would lead her into a dangerous place to be. Camie started on the morning work and even got some time to look up the artists and the pieces in the gallery. She sept more time on the once piece Jameson had pointed to and she looked up as someone interrupted her and she blushed. "Sorry... What can I help you with." she said and helped the person find a restaurant to go to next. She smiled and waved as they left. The day was going by quickly and it wasn't long before lunch. She grabbed her things and went over to that painting as she turned on her phone to call Lacey. She stood there trying to understand what secrets Jameson saw inside of it he though she couldn't see. She looked down hearing she got a text and she looked at it turning bright red. He had sent it hours ago and he had known. Camie didn't even know what to say. She peeked back at the painting before turning and going out of the building. Angie had gone on lunch at noon and Camie was headed to lunch an hour later. She had an hour then some time before the tour later that day. Camie went over to the restaurant completely having forgotten to call Lacey as she tried to think of a response to Jameson. Camie bit her lip looking at the text after having ordered a nice light lunch. He had good judgment on her behalf? What did he even mean by that. She squared her shoulders and bravely wrote a text back to Jameson.
Yes Sir you do but every now and then you misread me. And PS. The painting has grown on me. It get's more mysterious the more I look at it. I won't let it distract me from my work. Have a pleasant afternoon. –Camie
Camie hit send before she regretted it. It was true that Jameson didn't always see her the way she really was but she guessed it was hard to see the real her when he was use to a particular caliber of people. Still Camie knew that he was one of the first people to see her on a deeper level than others she had known before. Lacey was one of those people that really knew her. It was perhaps why Lacey said such outlandish things at times because Camie needed her to be part of her crazy. Camie thanked the waiter as the food came and she took a bite texting Lacey.
He reads me almost better than you. He's texting me. He had to get my number from the work file. How is your day?
Camie realized she was talking to much about Jameson that she hadn't even asked Lacey what she was doing today. She felt like a terrible friend. But she knew Lacey rather have the scoop on Jameson. Lacey saw Jameson as every other girl did but Camie hadn't looked at him like that because she wasn't big into social media. Camie would read, be outdoors doing something and would staying busy instead. Besides Lacey told her all the important things in social media anyways. It always came out better from Lacey anyways.

"If you aren't comfortable with it, Cam, I can get Maria to come do it. It's no big deal." She smiled. Angie nodded, happy to have a motivated worker under her wing. "Aw, thanks girl. I don't have anything to do this afternoon or evening, so if you want you can have a sit down and go study or something and I can take the till." Shes said taking a seat in the other office chair.

Jameson got up and headed out his office, locking the door behind him as he waited for the elevator to reach the very top floor. When a light beep indicated it was done, he got in and on his way down had to stop on several floors. His phone vibrated, and his hand took it out from his pocket. He scrolled through his messages, and read Camille Dyer. He instantly stopped scrolling through his messages, and read it his eyes narrowing as he did so. He swiped to her messages, and replied just as the elevator stopped and picked up a women holding the hand of a young child. Her lips parted at the sight of him, and Jameson looked up and nodded politely before going back to his phone.

Tell me, what am I misreading? PS. We can do it over supper. -J.W

~ * ~

Lacey was in class, scrolling through Instagram when she saw a text from Camie and her eyes widened. They were texting?

CAMIE. Omg, he's txting you. I know u secretly want 2 jump his bones. xoxo keep me updated!

@ Jinx...

@ rainyskies
Camie was glad that Angie and her were working together. They worked well together. She was glad she had gotten some time to look at the artists. She looked down at her phone as it buzzed. She set her fork down and looked at her phone and her heart felt like it stopped. He wanted to have dinner? She bit her lip and swallowed hard.
Alright I will tell you over dinner. It will be simpler that way. –Camie
She hit send feeling more nervous than she could ever remember being. This was not a work dinner when they would be talking about her. And for a moment she thought about telling Lacey but she didn't know if she was ready to admit that it was real. Camie suddenly wasn't sure if she was hungry anymore. She bit her lip and set her phone back down. Lacey had been right. He was into her and it made no sense to her. She felt completely baffled about why he would want any kind of a relationship besides a work one with her. She was plain and normal but he wassail asking her to dinner. Skip the coffee... or was that what it had been that night in her apartment. She felt herself shaking as she picked at her food waiting to hear back from Jameson. She would have to tell Lacey in order to get something new to wear. She took a bite of her food and texted Lacey.
I need something to wear for a dinner. In fact I need a few new dresses for work too. We need to shop asap. Pick me up after work?
Lacey knew 5 was to early for dinner and a couple hours would hopefully be enough.

Good. I look forward to it. -J.W

Jameson pulled open the top drawer of his beautiful desk, and set his phone in it before rolling over to his huge file organizer. He flipped through folder after folder, picking a few out and kicked the trash over dumping the folders in them. Jameson knew this was a fucked up situation. He knew she was not capable of being what he needed, and knew that girls like her were looking for a serious boyfriend, but he was not that in the least bit. After the way his last contract had ended, he hadn't been able to find someone right for the position and his pent up energy was starting to drive him crazy to the point where he had to go to visit his pyschologsit and therapist. Jameson closed his eyes, and again thought about her not sure what this supper was.

~*~

Lacey was just dismissed from her class as she quickly pulled out her phone to check on news from Camie. She gasped out loud, and people stared. Mouthing an apology, she hurried down the hall and hurried out to her vehicle dumping her books in the back. It made her sad Camie didn't know how beautiful she really was, but this was totally a once in a lifetime opportunity. Hell, Lacey wouldn't even hesitate to agree to do whatever he wanted.

Dinner? OMFG! Be there sharp. PS. promise me we will still be friends when you walk down the red carpet?

@ Jinx...

@ rainyskies
Camie was surprised that he didn't give her a day or time. Perhaps he would get back to her with it.
As do I. But please give me an hour warning before you decide where to go. Have a good day Mr. West. – Camie
Camie hit send then looked at Lacey's message and chuckled. She continued to eat and then texted Lacey back.
Don't be stupid girl. It's just dinner. I am sure he just wants company. It has to be lonely to live like he does. I am excited though. Mr. West is a very interesting man and I hope to find out more about him. Time to go back to work. TTYL. – Camie
She sent and then paid for lunch and stood walking back to work. Once she got back it was the perfect time to get ready for the tour. She smiled as people started to file in for the tour. She had done a little more follow up study on a few other pieces as she had waited but now she greeted people and made sure they where taken care of before the tour started.
Once she started the tour she coot lost in the paintings taking people along with her on the beautiful journey that only Mr. West himself had set up. She smiled as she talked completely passionate about the paintings. She hadn't been his excited about something in a while. She wondered what kind of profits they made and how hard it was to get into the gallery business.

Jameson attended a meeting, and officially had a large advertisement aired in his studio. He had a moment, and sat in the lounge as people worked around him. He read her message, but didn't reply. About 5:00PM, Jameson took a moment.

Take your pick of a place. -J.W

He leaned back in his office chair, still not sure what he was doing but stood up, picked up his keys and headed to the elevator shrugging on his jacket.

~*~

At 5:00 sharp as she stated, Lacey was parked outside of the unique gallery building waiting impatiently as she tapped her fingers against her steering wheel.

He can get whatever company he likes, but he chose YOU. I'm sure u want to find out more about him... i'm outside!

@ rainyskies
Camie finally finished the tour and said goodbye to everyone helping Angie clean up and close down. She waved as she stepped out reading her messages. She walked over to Lacey and slipped into her car. "I have an hour to find a dress and probably get ready too. Where is a good place?" she asked. Her friend would know a place better than her. She didn't respond to the first of the things Lacey had said. She was right of corse but all she could think was that her difference from most the women he knew probably made her easier to be around. She didn't swoon over him like most girls. Of course he flustered her and she liked him but she didn't make him notice it. Camie bit her lip as Lacey talked about good places to go to eat at. She wondered what he would like.
The Tower was suggested to be a good place. If that's alright with you. –Camie
Camie sent the text just as she and Lacey walked into a dress store. "Oh my goodness there is just so much to pick from." she said and bit her lip turning to Lacey. "Promise me you won't tell others about this? I don't want anyone to know but us okay?" she pleaded with Lacey holding her hand. Camie didn't want people to either get the wrong idea or try to get something out of it for themselves because Camie felt that Jameson deserved better than a spectacle. If she thought it might be a good idea she would have suggested he come to her place for dinner but that was a little to intimate. Camie sighed as she and Lacey walked towards the dresses. "Something short." she said as they moved that way. "But not overly short..." she said though she was sure Lacey knew. Camie wasn't one to show off. Her cloths normally consisted of a blouse and blue jeans but dresses had been needed recently.

Lacey smiled widely and leaned over and pecked her. "Took long enough you goose. Tell me the deets." she said, before flying off a list of dress stores and then mumbling on about restaurants that she liked. "The Tower is definitely classier, a lot more fancy. Dan took me there one time, and boy did he get a good night. It's a very mellow restaurant... Kinda intense and too expensive for me. Reminds me of a certain someone." She winked. "Sweet of him to let you choose. I have yet to meet him, though. You lucky gal, I googled him while you were working and I blushed in class." she giggled, pulling out of the gallery lot and back into the busy highway. The sun was still up, but was starting to lower as strong beams of sunshine was gone and replaced by a dim natural light that didn't strain your eyes. Lacey pulled up to the first dress store, and pulled Camie inside by the hand. Weddings gowns were shown off, but showing her around the aisles were more casual dresses. "Take your pick. This ones one me." She smiled. "My dad loves you Camie, and you totally need a spankin' dress to get you a lay." She teased playfully, flipping through the dresses.

Jameson headed down, as eyes looked up at him when the elevator doors opened. His presence left the mood quiet and sullen by his confident stride and serious handsome face, but yet at the same time the room lit up from the smiles and gleeful cheery women then looked up in awe. "Mr. West, good evening." a couple said, while others smiled politely and scuttled by nervously while still trying to remain professional. Jameson took out his phone glancing at it scrolling through a couple business messages to find Camille Dyer again.

Perfect. See you then, Ms. Dyer. -J.W

@ Jinx...

@ rainyskies
Camie smiled at Lacey. "Are you sure it was a good idea to ask him to take me to the tower though? I mean anything really would have done fine. Honestly I rather just invite him over but I felt that was a little to intimate." she said and blushed looking at dresses. She didn't want to wear anything to much. She knew something shorter and not flashy would be perfect but Lacey was already picking out dresses that Camie was already afraid just to put on let alone wear infant of the man she felt ate up ever inch of her she showed him. "What do you mean it took me long enough anyways?" she asked and chuckled. "Besides Lacey it's just a friendly date... I mean..." she didn't know what she meant. She blushed just thinking about him and how he looked at her with those eyes that left her feeling completely exposed. "There isn't much to tell." she said and beamed as Lacey said this one was on her. "I don't know what I would do without you." she said and kissed her cheek. "Okay so we where texting and I told him that it was nice that he sent that box but not needed. And he has this thing that anytime I tell him that he always seems to think I am challenging him. He then went as far as to say he seemed to know me pretty well. Which when someone like him can pretty much unarm you with a look they pretty much do. But Lacey I'm not like other girls around him. I don't want to be like other girls you know?" she shrugged. "Anyways I told him that he pretty much does but sometimes he misreads me. Then he asked me how and I had to read the other part of that text three times to make sure I had it right that he was making me out. He said we could talk about it over dinner. I didn't even know what to say but somehow I said yes and here we are." she giggled nervously and picked up a dress looking at it with longing and added it to their pile. They where never going to get through this pile in time. Camie looked down at her phone and smiled seeing his text. "I don't think he even really thought anything by sending this text. He's been leaving all the details to me. It's making me really nervous." she said and looked at Lacey. "Do you think he might regret having asked me?" she asked as they headed towards the changing room.

"Well, why isn't it. It's not like it's not his forte' or anything. He probably knows what is is, Camie." Lacey laughed, pulling a hanger off the rack and adding it to their pile. A few workers there offered to help, but Lacey shook her head politely and told them they were just going to search them self as dress shopping was something Lacey adored. "I meant it took you long enough to get out of the gallery so we can shop." she said, pulling her hair to one side as she stretched one of her arms. "He doesn't seem like one to be late on a date, anyways. Camie, I want to meet himmmm." Lacey whined in frustration. "And maybe you will consider a threesome." Lacey again was joking, but winked and handed Camie a few dresses she picked out. "Shoes on me too. Dress needs to be chosen, first tho!" Lacey stayed close to Camie as she looked vigorously, listening to Camie's story gasping ever so slightly when Camie told her that Jameson had persued her. "Camie, I just can't even with you. He wants your V, hard. Asking you out for dinner to discuss what he's missing about you? Hm.." Lacey narrowed her eyes and spaced out for a second. "He sounds pretty particular." She said with a shrug before moving on. "He must've, you're taking his time from him. That's a lot of scheduling and making sure he has the time to go out at all, period! Ugh. I wish I could have the freedom to choose dates. Don't be nervous!" She grabbed Camie by the shoulders and shook her slightly before dragging her to the dressing rooms. "No, I know my guys. And if I had a dick, then I would be all over you. Jameson is really smart." Lacey said in all seriousness, despite her eager bubbly mood.

@ rainyskies
"I guess but still I wouldn't expect it of him... I just don't want him to think this is a money thing." she shook her head. Lacey was right she was thinking to much on this. Camie laughed at Lacey knowing this made her day and Camie only wished she could do more for her friend. "I know Lacey I know you do but I don't think he really is ready for that." she said chuckling. "Maybe he will drop me off or something. I have no idea how this is going to go tonight." she said and bit her lip knowing if she was driving she would have to print of directions. "Shoes to Lacey? That seems like to much." she said though Lacey wasn't having it. But then Lacey said the one thing that had Camie turing bright red. "Lacey thats! No." she laughed and shook her head. "This isn't about sex... I mean... hard? Really?" she asked and picked up another dress then put it back. "He's different Lacey. When he took me to his gallery he showed me around and pointed out his favorite painting. But then... He didn't even look at it. It was like it was to painful." she said and chuckled shaking her head. "Yeah you're right he doesn't waist time on things he doesn't want so then I guess this is pretty special." she said and blushed looking up at Lacey as she grabbed her. Camie laughed and hugged Lacey. "All over huh?" she shook her head. "This is why I love you Lacey. You say the sweetest and yet most ridiculous of things." Camie said and went into the dressing room trying on the first dress. "Naw to slutty." she said then tried not he next molding it for Lacey but she didn't like it so they tried another. And then another and finally one more. Camie stepped out of the dressing room and into the three way mirror looking at the dress. "What do you think?" Camie asked liking how different it was and yet how it made her look. It showed just enough skin to show off her beauty but not to much to make her look ridiculous.

"Oh yeah, I get the money thing." Lacey said understandingly flaunting her legs as she sat down in the watching area of the store crossing her legs as she watched Camie enter one of the changing rooms. The sounds of hangers being hung and then Camie slipping off her shoes. "Tonight will go fine. I'm sure Jameson is well aware of how to deal with photographers, no one will know anything. It will be our secret." she said as Camie came out, though their conversation was not bothered at all even as Camie wasn't visibly present. "I know Camie you softy." She said rolling her eyes, knowing her too well to know she'd get with someone for their goods. "If he's psycho, run hard and fast. There must be a reason he doesn't like to be seen in public with women. I'm just worried about you, that's all. I mean I always tease you about Jameson West, but in reality I want to make sure you're okay." Lacey observed Camie up and down. "Eh. You've got better cleavage then that dress shows." Lacey said as Camie disappeared again. "Camie." Lacey said, rolling her eyes again. "You're doing that overthinking thing again. Just stay calm, everything will be fine." she smiled and laughed heartidly. After a few more dresses and chattering, Camie came out in a perfect dress. Lacey stood up and pulled up her clutch. "That's the one. That. is. the. one." She said pointing at Camie. "It's just so.... you." Lacey got the attention of one of the dressing helpers. "We'll take this one, please!" She said.

@ Jinx...

@ rainyskies
Camie smiled hoping it stayed a secret. She liked secrets now and then. Camie sighed realizing that what Lacey said was right. "Maybe he just doesn't like what fame does to the girl he's with." she said and bit her lip. "Don't worry about it Lacey. I am sure he's just careful." she said and chuckled knowing Lacey would always look out for her and push her to try more. She smiled as she showed Lacey the dress and she loved it. "Really?" she asked and looked at Lacey. "It's so wild though." she chuckled running her hand down the front resting on her belly. "But it is beautiful." she said softly. "And thinking about the painting is not over thinking. Paintings are suppose to make you think. Besides it was something special. He might tell everyone about that painting but still I am not just anyone when it comes to art. There are some things that tell you about a person and their favorite piece of art is one of them." she chuckled and changed back into her other dress so that they could buy the dress. Camie then put on her heels. "Now I think some white shoes would be good. I don;t know about heels though. I might fall into him again." she said and blushed remembering how his arm felt beneath her hand when she had been straightening herself again. The lady took the dress to the counter for them to pick up to buy later. They went to the shoes section and tried on a bunch of shoes before Lacey picked out some heels that where just to good to pass up. "Alright I'll wear those." Camie said finally giving in. "Now we need to hurry back home to get ready. Uhh I need to pick up my car too." she said.

Lacey shrugged. "Maybe so. You never know. He's usually good at avoiding cameras. Try googling him, it's hard to get a shot of him." Lacey nodded eagerly. "Really. Wild is good, and I know it may be slightly poking at your comfort level, but he is gonna go beyond your comfort level as a hookup so you may as well get ready now." Lacey listened to Camie talk about the painting, and raised an eyebrow. "Do you study everything, or just what he likes?" Lacey winked. Lacey smiled, flailing her arms as someone came to help them holding a portable scaner, scanning both of the shoes and dress adding to a total off $347. "Will you be paying with cash, or card? We can meet at the till or do it here." She said sweetly. Lacey shook her head to indicate neither. "Just put it on my tab, Lacey number 334." She said, grabbing onto Camie's hand and rushing her out of the store. They got in her vehicle, and Lacey drove away.

@ Jinx...

@ rainyskies
Camie chuckled and nodded. "We are not hooking up. This isn't a hook up, I don't even know if this is an official date. If it was wouldn't he be picking me up?" she asked. Camie chuckled at Lacey. "Usually I study everything but the painting was a special call." she said and poked her friend. Camie gasped as Lacey took her hand. She giggled as they got in the car. "I can't believe they wanted so much money for so little material. She said looking at her dress.

Lacey offered to drive her to work tomorrow to get her car. "I guess we could use the extra time." she said knowing she needed so shower and such. "Alright." Camie said and they went home. Camie rushed into the bathroom and started to perfect herself. Because if this was a date or if this was a hookup she was not going to look ridiculous for not planning on it. She was feeling more and more nervous the closer it got. Once Camie was ready Lacey came in and helped her with her hair and makeup. Finally Camie was ready. She stood in the mirror feeling like a goddess. She looked at Lacey who looked completely satisfied with herself. "Well what do you think?" she asked and smiled thinking about texting Jameson to let him know that she was ready.
