Forever and a Day

“You forgot the part where you ain’t shit.” -Danielle

Cameron and Danielle’s relationship was beginning to blossom. It had been a couple months and Cam was starting to feel guilty for lying to Danielle all this time. He decided that tonight would be the night that he told Danielle his original thoughts about her and her friends. Cam was sitting in front of Danielle’s condo building trying to come up with a way to bring up the conversation. Danielle came out the building wearing a pair of dark blue Michael Kor’s skinny jeans, a yellow and brown Michael Kor’s cardigan, and a pair of brown Nine West thigh high boots. Cam thought she was cute with her little getty up outfit.

As soon as she got in the car, she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. She noticed his facial expression showed guilt, but she thought that maybe she reading too much into things. She had a long day, and she wasn’t going to ruin it by accusing Cam of something that he didn’t do. Cam pulled off and proceeded to the movie theater, they were going to see New Moon because Danni had practically begged him to take her to see it.

When they got to the movie theater, Cam parked in the lot and turned the car off and looked at Danni. “Look ma, we gotta talk,” he said while sighing.

“What’s on your mind,” Danni turned towards him.

“I have a confession to make”

“Confession? What type of confession?”

“Remember when we first met?”

“Yeah, what about it? That was months ago, why are you bringing it up now?”

“Long story short, when all the shit went down with Kiy and Bri, I started all that because I was the one that pointed y’all out with the players.”

“Excuse me? Come again,” Danielle, said putting her phone in her clutch.

“Look I was wrong for just assuming shit but at the time… ” Cam started.

“You started off thinking the worst of us, of ME!” yelled Danni interrupting him, to say she was pissed would be an understatement, but even more so she was hurt. She thought Cam was different and was really feeling him. Cam could see the hurt in her eyes and that’s what made him feel even worst.

“Ma look calm down, true I said and thought that shit before I really got to know you and found out you were far from that. I never meant to hurt you Danielle believe me when I say that. When I saw y’all in those players faces I just assumed that’s how y’all got down.”


“Wow Cam and all this time you been what, just stringing me along trying to get some?”


“No, I can get some from anywhere. I never had a problem in that area. Shit that didn’t come out right at all.”


Danni grabbed her clutch unlocked the door and was out the car before Cam had a chance to clean up his statement. While walking thru the parking lot she reached in her clutch for her phone. “I really can’t believe this, how the hell did I let myself fall for this shit,” she thought out loud stopping to call Brielle and ask her to come get her. Catching up with her, Cam grabbed her lightly by the forearm and tried turning her to face him, but she yanked her arm away. This time he grabbed both arms forcing her to look at him.

“Look ma, I’m sorry if I hurt you in any way shape or form. That was NEVER my intention. These last few months we spent together, this shit has been eating me up knowing I thought the worst of you. I wanted to tell you so many times, but I didn’t wanna mess up what we have now.”


“So that first night you texted me, did you think you was gonna get some? Thought I was some hit it and quit it, ” asked Danni. She don’t know why this shit was getting to her; then again she did, she was in love and right now at this very moment her heart was being broken by the one man she thought would change her way of thinking about men.

“Danni look if I could go back and change shit I would, but I can’t. I was use to women coming around just because they thought they could get something out of me. I’m man enough to admit to you right here, right now today in a movie parking lot that I was wrong and I’m sorry,” Cam knew he f*cked up, but he was willing to do anything to fix it. Danni wasn’t like most women at all, she was a damn fireball and he loved that about her.

“You forgot the part where you ain’t shit,” she said as she cracked a smile.


“I never said I was though,” laughed Cam.


“So how do you feel about me now?”


“I think that you are the most stubborn, shit talking, outspoken, beautiful, independent, intelligent woman I have ever met.”


“I am not…”


“Buuut, those are all the reasons I love you and wouldn’t change you if I could” smiled Cam with that gorgeous smile Danielle had come to love so much.


“Love like you just love who I am?”

“No as in, I love you, Danielle.”


“Oh that love, well your not too bad yourself,” laughed Danni.

“Oh it’s like that, oka… ” Before he could get any more words out, their lips where interlocked together like they were exploring new territory with their tongues. This was something neither had ever experienced before. Neither one of them wanted to stop, but they had to come up for air at some point. Danni was the first one to let go.

“Wow, I love you too Cameron.” For a minute they stood there staring at each other both ready to start over.

“So you still wanna go see the movie?”


“Hell yeah, I had to beg you to take me, there is no way in hell I’m leaving without watching it. So let’s go before it starts.”


Any other time Cam would have said something slick, but he had to make up his f*ck ups to her someway so he was willing to let her have this one. He was really starting to see forever with Danielle and he was willing to do anything in his power to see that it happens.

The girls were having lunch when they noticed that nobody had spoken to Sabriya in a couple of days. Danielle decided since they were all together that should just call and check up on her. The last time they spoke her and Keem were in Miami on vacation. Danielle put the phone on speaker as she waited for Sabriya to answer the phone.

“Hey girl,” Sabriya answered.

“Hey Mamas, how are you, Danielle asked, all of the girls are here.”

“Hey chica,” Shanice chimed in.

“Hey Briya,” Brielle and Chloe said at the same time.

“Hey ladies, I’m glad you all are together. I have something to tell y’all,” she squealed.

“What are you so excited to tell us?”

“So, Keem and I were on a boat ride here and we found this little secluded beach, that would be perfect for the wedding.”

“Awww, so when do we start planning,” Shanice asked.

“Well about that, we kind of already got married,” Sabriya confessed.

“WHAT,” all the girls screamed.

“We got married, we decided that we didn’t want the whole big wedding ceremony. We wanted it to be private and then we will do just a huge reception for our family and friends.”

“Wow. I don’t know if I want to congratulate you first or curse you out a little bit,” Shanice spoke up first.

“Don’t be mad ladies. I know we were suppose to do the whole outdoor wedding thing, but the way that Keem’s schedule is for next season it just wouldn’t have worked out and we didn’t have to worry about paparazzi going crazy to try to get information about the wedding,” Sabriya said.

“Well Briya, we are so happy for you,” Brielle screamed with excitement.

“Thank you ladies, I promise I will let Sha throw the biggest wedding reception ever. No restrictions at all,” Sabriya offered.

“Oh yes, I can’t wait to start planning this because we got a lot to make up for since we didn’t get to see your vows.”

“Again we are so sorry, hold on Keem wants to talk to y’all.”

“Wassup y’all,” Keem came to the phone.

“Nope, we’re not talking to you. I thought you loved your sisters,” Brielle joked.

“Ahhh man. You know I love y’all. I just love Sabriya too much to wait. I told Briya that if we would have had the huge wedding, we would have had to go through hell trying to get the paparazzi out of it,” Keem started to explain.

“Aww, we’re just playing. We know we have a huge celebrity on our hands. But seriously, we are happy for both you and Sabriya. I know y’all had it taped, so just be prepared to show everyone at the wedding reception. Oh yeah, and make sure your card is ready for the charges coming your way. This will be big,” Shanice laughed.

“Knowing you, I already know. But I’m going to have Briya call you back. We’re about to go scuba diving.” Keem laughed as well.

“Okay, we love y’all.” The girls said together.

“We love y’all more,” Keem said hanging up.

Shanice hung up the phone, looked at the rest of the girls, smiled, and screamed, “OMG Sabriya got married.”

Brielle just laughed at Shanice. She thought Shanice was more excited than Sabriya and Hakeem. She was happy for her two friends because she thought they deserved love and each other. She just couldn’t help, but to feel sad because she would never have that.
