hooked up with at the party?” I asked him, frankly.
    “No disrespect but forget Jasmina. From the moment I laid eyes on you Assariyah I was drawn by your allure and beauty.”
    He wasn’t making any sense to me. “So why did you go after Jas?” I asked.
    He protested, “I didn’t, she approached me and started dancing with me. She told me her friend was occupied and pointed you out talking with some dude. I needed a way to get close to you so I seized the opportunity.”
    I quickened my pace, leaving numerous shops behind this was the last thing I needed.
    “Assariyah please slow down,” Cameron asked.
    I stopped where I was and asked, “All that you said back there, were you being serious?”
    “I’m dead serious,” he answered.
    It was too awkward to look at Cameron so I fixated my eyes on the exclusive diamond collection displayed at De Beers. Hoping to change the subject, I pointed to a pair of champagne cocktail fizz diamond earrings in the window display.
    “How beautiful are they?” I said with admiration.
    “They would look even more dazzling on you. Just say the words and they are yours.”
    “Get outta here, you don’t even know me and you are offering to buy me diamonds. You can’t be for real?” I questioned him in disbelief.
    He led us into the store, “I really wish you wouldn’t doubt me so much lady.”
    He signalled for one of the store’s advisors to come over to us and told her we wanted the earrings.
    “These are one of a kind, your wife has very good taste,” she added, politely.
    “She sure does.” Cameron nodded his head in agreement, before I even had a chance to correct her.
    “Why did you let her think I was your wife?”
    “Because it’s only a matter of time before you are.”
    Cocky bastard, more fool you, I thought.
    “You’re crazy Cameron.”
    “Over you, there is no doubt about that.”
    I bit my lips and thanked him for the earrings. I still couldn’t believe he just dropped over twenty-eight thousand pounds in cash to buy them for me. Shit like that didn’t even happen in movies, yet alone to me.
    Soon after Cameron asked Derrick to drop him back to his office and to make sure that I got home safely. He placed a kiss on my forehead.
    “Make sure you call me, beautiful,” he said, getting out of the car.
    “I don’t have your number,” I replied slightly confused.
    “When you get home look inside the pocket of the blazer you wore at Jason’s party, I slipped my card in there.”
    I called Jasmina as soon as I got home.
    “Babe you’ll never guess what just happened to me.”
    “What? Tell me quick girl,” she quizzed excitedly.
    I told her everything that went down with Cameron from us drinking tea to shopping and best of all about the diamond earrings he bought me. I knew she would be slightly touchy but her reaction was unexpected.
    “What the fuck, have you lost your fucking mind?” she hollered through the phone. I didn’t understand why she was getting all hot and bothered, so I tried to make her see sense.
    “Calm down Jas, it ain’t that serious, what are you flipping for?”
    “Ain’t that serious, don’t give me that Assariyah. You knew how much I liked him and then you have the audacity to call me and flaunt the shit all up in my face. Why couldn’t you just leave him to me? I mean you can have any guy you want.”
    Man this girl was tripping over a dude she had known for forty-eight hours.
    “He is not even your fucking type,” she continued to rant.
    “Well the size of his pocketbook is so my type.”
    “You make me sick,” Jasmina growled at me.
    She was really pushing my buttons so I flipped on her.
    “Quit bitching, dude ain’t feeling you like that. He wants me. He told me so himself. So tell me what’s the point in letting all that money go to waste?”
    I paused for a minute or so waiting for Jasmina to respond. I could barely hear her breathing, nothing but silence travelled through the receiver. Finally she was
