All Donnell could think was wow, this woman is beautiful, smart, and sweet. She doesn't overdo her makeup. She's just natural. She can't be real. Something has to be wrong. He laughed. Camille asked, "What's funny?" He said, "Well, I was just thinking you can't be real." Camille giggled and said, "Well, truthfully, I was thinking a similar thought. So we are on the same page." The food arrived at the table. They looked at each other like, let's go eat. They admired how tasty the food looked. They said grace and dug in. Dinner was scrumptious. The waiter brought the check out and asked if it was together or separate. Camille started to say "separate" as Donnell quickly said "together" and slid the waiter his card. She just gave him a look, and he said, "I asked you to dinner. Did you really think you'd have to pay?" She was like, "Hey, you never know." He said, "Well, I got it. If you up for it, we can take a walk down the piers, maybe grab dessert if you have room." She said, "Sure." They headed out and down the strip, enjoying the view of the water and the slight breeze of the night air. Donnell grabbed Camille's hand, and she just looked at him. He pulled her in a little, and she slowly leaned in the rest of the way, Seconds later, their lips met, and all you could see were fireworks, and that song "Fire and Desire" by Rick James and Tina Marie was playing in the background. They stayed pressed and locked for a good minute then released. I hope you all enjoy this novel. Please learn to appreciate the love you have and never give up on the true love you seek.
