Two Faced Lover - Episode 34

 

**** CAMERON'S POV

"I'm taking you on a date princess. You know why?" I ask, placing another kiss on her lips. Oh God. She's so intoxicating. So intoxicating I might as well end up getting drunk. Drunk in her kisses. Drunk in every damn thing about her. "Why?" She asks, so quietly I almost didn't hear. She bites her lips. . S*xy. I almost growl, tightening my grip around her waist. "Because I think I like you princess. A lot. And there's no way I can keep on denying it. I've been denying it for so long and honestly, I'm tired. I admit it now, I f*cking like you girl. So much. Please Go on a date with me?" I answer, resting my forehead against hers, sweet, delicious sensations I haven't felt since Natalie coursing through me like never before. It's intense, strong yet intoxicating. I'm in love with this new feeling. It's like I've been reborn. It's energizing. For the past three years, anger and hatred was all I'd ever been capable of feeling. I'd drowned myself in work all day long and if I ever happened to have a free time, thoughts of betrayal occupied my brain immediately which was why I joined the arena. But now, there's an additional emotion to what I'm used to and I can't say I don't like it. I do

. I've spent the previous week in denial and all it has done is to increase my attraction towards her. I can't fight it any longer. "Say something Skylar" I plead after a moment of deafening silence. I pull away slightly, cupping her face softly. She looks up at me with wide eyes. "I...I... You like me?" She squeaks. "And..you want to go on a date with me?" She adds, looking at me like she can't believe it. I can't believe it myself. "I do" I reply with all honestly. "I...I.just.." She lowers her eyes, fidgeting with the hem of the pyjamas she wore. "I've never really done this before Cam" Have I mentioned how I love it when she says my name? I think I have. A million times. "Come" I lead her to the bed, pushing her to sit. I do same, taking both hands in mine. "Trust me princess, I haven't done something like this in years. I haven't felt this way about any woman in a long time also and honestly, I'm done living in denial. I'm not asking you to be my girlfriend, no. I just want you to give me the chance. Give us the chance to take this beyond friendship level. Get to know each other well and then we'll take it from there. What do you say?" She stares at me for a second longer before breaking into a smile. "I wouldn't let this dress go to waste for anything in the world" I chuckle. Smooth. Only Skylar will say yes to going on a date in a smart manner. "Great!" I get up. "I'll leave you to get ready. Please don't take ten hours. I know how you women take fifty minutes to apply just to apply make up" I tease and she rolls her eyes, shoving me out. "Get out Mr Knight!" She giggles. And just like that, I knew I wouldn't have it any other way.

SKYLAR'S POV

Shutting the door to the bathroom behind me, I walk towards the big mirror and stand in front of it studying my expression. My cheeks look flushed and my eyes are bright and lively. A goofy grin adorning my face. I bite down on my lip hard to prevent the squeal threatening to explode out of me. I step out of my pyjamas, dropping it somewhere and then gathering my hair up into a shower cap. Stepping into the shower, I turn it on, reaching for my sponge and squirting a good amount of my favourite shower gel as the cold water courses over my body. Cameron likes me. Cameron f*cking Knight said he likes me. I squeal this time unable to control it, the splashing water drowning my voice. And I'm going on a damn date with the hottest guy ever to live on planet earth. Okay well, maybe he isn't the hottest guy to have ever lived but you get my point. I giggle foolishly at my thoughts. God I sound like a thirteen year old who's crush just asked her out for a dance. Control Sky. As I wash myself, I can't help but wonder where Mr chocolate eyes will be taking me for our date. Wherever it is, I know I'm going to love it, as long as he's with me.

I make my way into the living room about thirty minutes later to find Cameron dressed casually in a blue T-shirt that clung to his body like second skin, revealing ever contour of his muscled and taut body. Hmm hot. He stops whatever he was doing as I make my appearance and his eyes skims over me from head to toe. I bite my lip, feeling self conscious. The dress he got me was beautiful, a perfect fit. It was neither tight nor loose. "Ugh..did I over dress?" I ask. I had applied a little make up. I'd never used it since he bought it for me along with a few clothes days ago. "No princess. You look beautiful. Perfect" he says and I blush. Suddenly I hear a loud groan of annoyance. "Mom, uncle Cam let's go. I'm sooo hungry!" Sean whines making us both laugh. Sean can be really grumpy when there no food in his stomach. "I hope it's okay that I'm bring Sean along with us?" Cameron asks and I can't help but smile.. The fact that he included my son in this is just enough to make my heart soar. "I'm more than okay. Thank you" I reply. "Shall we then miss Sampson?" He curls his hand, elbow sticking out. I link my arm to his nodding. "We shall Mr Knight" "Come on Sean" "Finally!" Sean yells in exasperation and I laugh as we exit the penthouse.

"Where are we going?" I must have asked that for the hundredth time because Cameron only wiggles his eyebrows at me. "Oh come on! I hate suspense!" I whine "Oh but I love suspense girl." I pout, leaning back into my seat. "All I can say is we're going to have breakfast at a beautiful restaurant and then we are off to the most beautiful beach in the whole of Brooklyn." "Really?" My ears perk up at that "Which of the beaches? I've been researching and I found this amazing beach..." "Calm your horses girl" Cameron laughs cutting off my rant. "First, let's have some breakfast yeah?" "Humph" I pout Several minutes later, I look out and see a sign. "Water street" it read. I raise an eyebrow. He drove us all the way to Water Street to have breakfast? Hmm. Soon, Cameron killed the engine as the car came to a stop. I step out first, helping Sean out of the backseat. "Shake Shack" I read the large sign as my eyes scan over the restaurant. "Come" Cameron beckons and we follow. A waitress was waiting by the door the moment we stepped in and she ushered us to an empty seat. A menu was brought immediately and I didn't need to look through to decide what I'll have. "What will you have princess?" "Umm. I'll have the veggie burger, fries and strawberry shake" I tell the waitress who writes it down. "You want chicken burger?" I turn to Sean. He only nods eagerly. "And fries" he adds immediately. "And also chocolate shake for him please" I add. "I'll have the same as the lady except for the shake. Please pack it for us. We'll be taking it out" Cameron says and the waitress nods, walking away. "We're not eating here?" I ask. "Yes. We are going to eat at someplace even better" he winks and I hum leaning back into my seat, scanning the environment. It was beautiful and comfy. As my eyes wander around, they settle on a man I presume to be not more than thirty, sitting alone, sipping something that looked like juice. He looked like any other normal customer but the difference was his eyes were trained on me. I swear I saw a tiny smirk playing at the corner of his lips. I look away immediately, something about his stare giving me the chills. I count to thirty silently and peep again. He was still staring. Now I want to get out of here. I hope our food comes quickly. Luckily, the waitress approaches few minutes later and hands us us our food in paper bags along with the bill. Cameron pays and I get up immediately, grabbing Sean's hand. As we exit, I turn one last time and sure enough, the creepy man was still staring. This time not at me. He was watching my son.. Tightening my grip on my son, I shield him with my body, hoping to block the man's vision, walking faster towards Cam's car. Once inside, I let out a sigh of relief. "You okay?" Cam's voice jolts me out of my reverie. He must have noticed my uneasiness. "Y..yeah.. I'm fine" I attempt a smile, failng miserably. He cups my cheeks. "Are you sure?" "Yes I'm fine." He watches me intently for a while before leaning back, starting the engine. We drive in silence for a while before the car comes to a stop. "Whoa!" I hear Sean exclaim from the backseat and that's when I look up, my eyes lighting up at the beautiful scenery. "Brooklyn Bridge Park" the huge signboard read. So this is the infamous Brooklyn bridge park. "This is where we are going to have our breakfast princess" Cameron winks, climbing out of the car. I do same, helping Sean out. My eyes take in the beautiful park as we walk to find a bench. The bridge was beautiful, I'm sure it looks so much better at night time. There were numerous white doves scattered across the park. I could see few people had set up picnic at certain spots. I even caught a couple heavily making out. I blush looking away instantly. People in this country aren't shy at all. You can't make out like this in Africa. Cameron catches my eye and he wiggles his eyebrows. "Don't say a word" I warn and he laughs. Finally we find an empty bench and we settle down to unwrap our food. I make to grab the chicken burger to feed Sean when I find him already eating all by himself. I roll my eyes. I forgot someone is a big boy. "Why didn't you take the strawberry shake?" I ask Cameron taking a bite of my burger. "I don't take girly stuff princess" Okay that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. "Since when was strawberry labelled a girly stuff?" "Since human was created. Even Sean knows that, that's why he ordered chocolate shake" "Point of correction. I ordered the chocolate shake for him" It was his turn to roll his eyes, pushing a fry into his mouth. "Yeah yeah, same thing" I shake my head, going back to my food, taking in my surroundings. "it's so beautiful and peaceful around here" "This is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait till I show you more of the surprises" Cameron says and my heart swells with adoration.. I wonder where else he's taking me. "Mom" Sean calls out. "Yes?" "Take it" he holds out a single lettuce. I sigh. "Vegetables are good for you Sean. You should eat it" I tell him to which he takes a big bite of the chicken he'd pulled out of the burger. I roll my eyes, taking the lettuce and chewing. I turn, my eyes finding a certain familiar person. I look up.. There he was. The man from the restaurant, standing a few feet away. He had dark glasses on but I can swear he was staring right at Sean. Was he folowimg us? Unconsciously, I pull Sean to myself. The man begins to walk closer, slowly, unnoticed by Cameron who's back was facing him. My eyes bulge. He's not walking towards us is he? Suddenly he stops walking, pulls the sleeve of his shirt up, all the while staring right at me, revealing a round big black mark on his wrist. A mark I had seen so many times. The burger slips from my hand, falling to the floor with a thud. "Skylar? What's wrong? You okay? Don't you like the food? Sky?" I can hear Cameron calling out for me but I can't bring myself to reply. I feel the air rushing out of my lungs. I feel suffocated. I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. I blink. No this can't be. The man smirks, like he's loving my reaction. This can't be. No!. "Skylar what's wrong? Skylar look at me!" I hear shouting but I can't move. I feel like I'm going to pass out any second. That mark. That mark. Slowly, my heads snaps to my son who was still eating, completely unaware of any thing. I look at his left wrist. And there it was. The same round big black birthmark on his wrist. I look back to the man who was now waving his hand mockingly at me slightly. The same mark on his hand.

. He was smirking, lips moving like he was talking. I squint my eyes, trying to read his lips. "I've. Been. Searching. For. You" I manage to make out the words and a loud gasp escapes my lips. No. This can't be. It can't be. No God please no!.
