herself. “Ooh he is still fine. I wonder if he and Gianna are still blind to how they feel for each other.”
“Oh yeah whose the client? I may be interested. I recently gotten a lot of compliments and people have been checking me out.” Bryan winked at Gianna as she almost choked on her wine.
Gianna recovered and grabbed Charlene’s hand ushering her into the dining room. “Anyway girl come on in, we have to catch up.” Bryan followed behind laughing to himself.
Chapter 4
They all sat around the table laughing and catching up. Gianna filled her in on her latest blog idea and on how her business was going slow. Gianna just couldn’t hone in on which part of her college degrees she wanted to use. Bryan started introducing his idea for Miles to be the Michael Yvann Cologne ad model.
Charlene listened hoping that Miles was the answer to her problem with Michael. Charlene knew all she really had to do was give in to Michael and accept his marriage proposal. She just couldn’t be with him unless he was all in. Michael had a wondering eye at times and she couldn’t be sure that he wasn’t cheating while he was away on business.
Miles pulled up to the house and parked. He put his game face on and stepped out of his Audi Silver R8 Spider. He was told that the dress was casual so he wore a pair of black jeans with a button down gray striped shirt. He wore a tie earlier but opted not to wear it tonight. He was hoping to pull off a more casual modeled look. To give Charlene a preview of his assets he unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt. Miles looked himself over and reached for the bottle of wine and box of chocolates, walked toward the house and rang the doorbell. “A gentleman trying to impress the ladies never shows up empty handed,” Miles thought to himself. “Despite what Bryan said.”
Miles admired the house as he approached it. It was brick with light grey trim and dark grey shutters. The front yard was well maintained and in the driveway Miles recognized Bryan’s Lincoln Navigator parked next to a Volkswagen Eos Komfort Convertible in black. Miles assumed that was Charlene’s car. “Gianna must have parked in the garage. She’s probably sporting a Mercedes Benz or something. Bryan said she was classy and stylish, but never one to be flashy. Either way my work is going to be cut out for me. Two confident ladies who have their own will always keep things interesting. Miles laughed out loud. I can handle it, I’m never scared. Miles laughed again thing his reference to an old rap song was perfect for the moment. Miles managed to rang the doorbell and juggle his presents in one hand.
Bryan excused himself and made his way to the door. He opened it and gave Miles a pound bringing him in for a hug. “What’s up man? You ready to meet the ladies,” Bryan asked. Bryan noticed the gifts and smiled, “My man now I know your right for this gig. Your mama raised you right. I had you covered though just in case you turned out to be a caveman.
“Yeah man let me at ‘em. The question should be is Charlene ready for me? Man you know I wasn’t about to show up empty handed and have those ladies thinking I’d forgotten my manners. I could never risk my mama finding out.” They both laughed as Bryan led Miles through the house to the dining room.
He spotted Charlene right away. He’d seen enough of her campaign ads and runway shows to know exactly what she looked like. She was beautiful. She wore a gold and white striped bodice sundress with a pair of gold strappy heels. She wore her light brown hair in loose barrel curls that framed her face falling to the tips of her breasts. Breasts that were sitting right in her tight bodice sundress.
Miles found it hard to take his eyes off of Charlene. He waited while Bryan introduced him and he shook her hand and brought her in for a hug. She smelled of lavender and vanilla and she lined up perfectly against him. His arms molded perfectly around her
