Back at their suite, Kaylan sat outside on the balcony, beneath the white stars, feeling the coolness of the breeze all over her body. Upset over what happened at dinner, she took a sip of her glass of strawberry wine, hoping it would relax her and calm her nerves but it didn't help much. She sighed as she stared up at the stars, which looked brighter than usual tonight.
How come he can't even focus on me for just one day?
It's like he had tunnel vision, with work being the center and her being nowhere in sight.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the front door open and the room key being tossed on the kitchen counter. Kameron opened the glass sliding door and joined her outside on the balcony. She looked in another direction---avoiding eye contact with him---as he took a seat beside her on the sofa.
An uncomfortable moment of silence danced between them before Kameron spoke.
"For you to walk outta dinner like that was childish Kay...just cause I had to handle business real quick", he shook his head, "and then you don't answer the phone when I'm tryna call you---what the fuck is your problem?"
Kaylan didn't respond, her eyes still avoiding his.
"I asked you a question Kaylan", he said calmly, "and look at me when I'm talking to you", he demanded, feeling disrespected.
She turned to face him. "Kameron, whatever...Nothing I say would matter to you anyways, so what's the point", she said, wanting badly to smack him.
"I wouldn't have asked you if it didn't matter." He reached over to touch her only for her to quickly jerk her body away from his touch. She was so pissed she didn't even want to be near him.
"Kameron don't touch me!", she yelled in aggravation, "Just leave me alone okay?"
"Yo what the fuck is your problem?! What the fuck you got a attitude and shit for?!" he snapped.
She folded her arms across her chest and stared down at her lap. "You're my problem. Why am I even here cause clearly you don't care about spending time with me...Clearly I'm not that important to you"
"You are important to me", he said truthfully.
She looked back up at him. "No I'm not. I can't even keep your attention on me for 5 minutes. We can't even have a conversation over dinner without you ignoring me and being on your phone."
He sighed. "Kaylan, I told you I was coming back"
"That's not the point Kameron"
"So what the fuck you wanted me to do then? Huh? Miss out on some money?!" He yelled angrily.
Kaylan shook her head and chuckled sarcastically, "So money is more important than spending time with me? Thanks for finally letting me know that Kameron"
"Whatever ma. You actin childish as fuck right about now. You know I'm a busy man---you know this shit---and as my girl you should understand and respect that but you always naggin me and shit! Here I am tryna spend time with you when I'm suppose to be still in Paris and you can't even appreciate that...like what the fuck man"
"Kameron, whatever...you're so full of shit", she spat.
"Watch your fuckin mouth before I smack you in it" he nastily responded.
Hurt and upset, Kaylan got up and stormed off to the bedroom, leaving Kameron out on the balcony by himself, alone in his thoughts. To say he was pissed was an understatement. Why can't Kaylan just be understanding of the fact that he's an entrepreneur with an entire empire to run? Why can't she see the effort he's putting into making her happy and the sacrifices he's making just by being in Rome with her right now? It's like she was being ungrateful.
