The Chronicles (A Celebrity Love Story)

Chapter 10: Miss Unknown

* Ebony's POV *

I had been bumping into J a lot lately. The more conversations I had with him, made him a lot attractive to me. He was just a normal guy really just plus the fame. I tried everything to catch his attention. I even started dressing different.

J Cole: Ebony!

Ebony: Yeah?

J Cole: I got some tickets to an art show, I was wondering if you'd like to go with me?

Ebony: As friends? Or is this a date?

J Cole: Friends?

Ebony: Oh, about to say! I can't date right now,you know?

He looked at me all confused, & I felt like a big piece of shit on the inside. Feeling like I had probably embarrassed myself. Deep down, I wanted him to say "date", but I wasn't rushing. The thing that mattered was out all of the people he could've asked, he asked me.

J Cole: My friend didn't want to go, so I figured you would.

Well, scratch that... I was a 2nd option though, which kinda mattered. So, I had fake myself into looking busy, pulling out my IPhone.

Ebony: Hold that thought, let me see if I have plans.

J Cole: Alright?

Ebony: Um, yeah. I got a studio session, but I can cancel it.

J Cole: No, that's alright. Stay in the music. I'll find someone else. I'll text ya later!

He turned around & walked towards his car. There I was standing there all puzzled & feeling like a bigger idiot. I tried to make myself seem not so much into him, but really I had ran him into asking someone else. I really didn't care about the art show, I just wanted to spend time with him.

3 Days Later....

I had kinda made up my mind that maybe J & I weren't a perfect piece. Feeling alone had to be the worst feeling there was. I hadn't been with someone in about 4 months, & I wasn't use to this. I just wanted someone to be silly with & everything. Then, I heard my doorbell rang. It had to be one of the girls checking on me, since I hadn't answered their calls. Once I opened the door, it was J standing there to my surprise!

J Cole: I still got those tickets & I'd really like if you'll go with me as a date.

Ebony: Really? I mean, sure. I'll go get ready. Come in.

He walked inside & looking around.

J Cole: Nice place you have here.

Ebony: Thanks. Want anything to drink?

J Cole: No, I'm straight. Thanks though.

Ebony: You're welcome.

I hurried putting on my clothes & threw my hair into a bun since it hadn't been in the prettiest styles the couple days. I walked down the hall & into the living room.

J Cole: You look great.

Ebony: Thank you. By the way, you do too.

J Cole: Thanks. Now, you ready?

Ebony: I sure am.

He was such a gentlemen. Opening the door for me & everything. This had to be a better start. On the way from the art show, he seemed more interested & I was a lot more comfortable.

J Cole: How'd you like the show?

Ebony: I liked it. I had fun. & I learned a lot too.

J Cole: Glad you did. We should do that again.

Ebony: Yeah, we should. You know my number & address.

J Cole: Yeah. What are you doing next Friday?

Ebony: I'm free, actually.

J Cole: Well, I'm coming back in town. Maybe we can have dinner.

Ebony: Yeah, I'll like that.

J Cole: We're here, but I'll walk you.

Ebony: You don't have to

J Cole: Well, damn I'll stay in the car then.

I stood there looking at him puzzled. I guess he got the picture.

J Cole: I'm playing.

Ebony: Thank you. I had a great time. & I can't wait until next time.

J Cole: Glad you did. You dropped something.

Ebony: What?

He then leaned in for a kiss & of course, I gave in. He smiled at me & I returned a smile for him.

J Cole: Goodnight Ebony.

Ebony: Goodnight J.

I walked inside the house, remembering that I had kissed him! It was like I was frozen in time.
