Chance At Love Chapter 8
Zach grinned when he saw his ex-girlfriend. She still looked feisty. With her voluptuous curves and blonde hair. He got an erection just thinking of what she was wearing under her tight fitting pants. "Nice to see you Cami."
"Don't call me that. What the fuck are you doing here?"
Zach grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards him roughly. He kissed her neck tumultuously.
"Get off of me!" Camilla screamed hoping to draw attention towards them.
Zach backed up. "Oh Cami I'm hurt. I thought you would be happy to see me."
"Why would I Zach? I still have bruises and welts on my back from when we were together. I hate you. You aren't a real man. A real man doesn't hit a woman. You are just a bitch."
Zach's eyes filled with anger and he struck Camilla across her face harshly. "Nobody calls me a bitch Cami. Not even you."
Before Zach could go any further, Camilla stabbed him in the leg with a concealed letter opener. As Zach cried out in pain she made a run for it.

Kay and Simone smiled at the reflection in the mirror. Kay had on a dark jean skirt with a fuchsia sweater and shoes that matched her outfit perfectly. Simone had on a pair of hip hugger jeans, a pink shirt, and a pair of black leather ankle boots.
"Simone we look good." Kay told her friend as she applied some lip-gloss to her lips.
"So what are you going to do about Lucas?"
"We figured something out. So are you going to introduce your parents to Gabriel tonight?"
"Yeah. I bet they will be happy I'm over Chad. So are we ready to go?"
Kay nodded her and and her and Simone confidently walked out her room.
*~*~
"Gia you are coming tonight," Gabriel protested as he dragged his best friend out the bed.
"I don't want to go!"
Jamal came out the bathroom and walked towards the duo. "Come on G. For us?"
Gia laughed at Jamal and Gabriel's puppy eyed look and stood up. "Okay I'll go. Are you two happy?"
"Yep!"
*~*~
Anastasia, Chasity, Camilla, Marcy, and Lucas walked out the mansion dressed to the nines in their designer outfits. Marcy and Camilla hopped in Lucas's Bentley with him while Anastasia and Chasity climbed in her Jaguar.
*~*~
When Paloma entered the Youth Center the dance was well underway. Chad was bumping the music out the incredible sound system and almost everybody was on the dance floor. Paloma waved nervously to Luis, Sheridan, Theresa, and Ethan when she saw them across the room. She then felt a gentle but firm hand on her back and turned around to see Bradley standing behind her. "You look great."
Paloma looked at her sheer knee length skirt and black blouse. "You told me that in the car," she blushed.
"Well I just had the urge to tell you again." The track switched to N'Sync's Gone and Bradley held out his hand. "May I?" Paloma took his hand and they made their way to the dance floor.
*~*~
"Why is Paloma dancing with Bradley Hotchkiss?" Sheridan asked.
Luis's head snapped up and he blew out a frustrated breath. He started towards the two but Sheridan stopped him. "Let them be. And don't give me that bull about them being from two different social classes because look at us. Now come on officer. Dance with me."
*~*~
Charity, Kay, Miguel, Simone, Belle, Shawn, Jason, Reese, Jessica, and Phillip entered the Youth Center with Simone looking for Gabriel. She spotted him by the d.j. booth and she made her way over there. Charity then got a sick eerie look on her face. "Oh my god," she muttered as the horrific image flashed in her mind.
"What is it Charity?"
"Someone's going to die. I see it. Somebody's going to fall through a glass ceiling."
"Come on Charity," Miguel said taking his girlfriend's hand, "Let's get something to drink."
Any other night Kay would have been annoyed but she wasn't. She was to busy waiting for Lucas. He better not stand her up or she would get Noah to beat his ass.
*~*~
A smile appeared on Jamal's face when Camilla entered the Youth Center. "Hey I was getting worried about you."
"No need. I'm okay," Camilla said as the flashback on Zach hitting her came to mind. "Do you want to dance?"
Before he could answer Camilla dragged him out to the dance floor.
Boy you know you make me float
Boy you really get me high
I feel like I'm on dope
Cause you send me on a wrecking ball
Jamal pulled Camilla close to him and the two began to dance to the beat of the song. "You smell wonderful. What are you wearing?"
"Jupiter Breeze. I don't like wearing perfume."
Boy you gotta stroke
Before drifting me deeper
Your there now hold me close
Boy let's take this overboard now
Chorus:
I want you to
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle
Work it in the middle, work it in the middle
Work it in the middle, work it in the middle
Change positions for me
Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
Now stroke it baby
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Jamal put his index finger under Camilla's chin and turned her head towards him. "What's wrong? You haven't been talking this whole time."
"I just love feeling my body against yours. I feel so comfortable. I could really stay like this forever."
Oooh baby I love your stroke
Cause you, cause you get me to where I'm going
In a jury you'll get my vote
Cause I believe, I believe you know just what your doing now
Plan our weekend coast
"When are you leaving?" Jamal asked Camilla.
"Next Friday. When are you?"
"Next Thursday."
Panic rushed through Camilla. Here she had this wonderful man she hasn't even kissed yet and he was leaving a day before she was. She didn't like long distance relationships. They never worked out.
Let's do it in a hurry
That's too slow
Go ahead and put that thing in over drive
I want you to
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions for me
Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
Now stroke it baby
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I want you to
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions for me
Change positions, do positions
Now stroke it baby
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Bridge:
I need you to use yourself
Like you never ever used it before
To explore my body
"Jamal do you think anything could possibly happen between us?"
"I would hope so."
Camilla sighed with relief. "Do you want to get out of here after the song?"
Jamal nodded his head. "Yeah."
Until you reach the shore
You'll be calling, calling for more
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions for me
Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
Now stroke it baby
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
I want you to
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work it in the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions for me
Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
Now stroke it baby
Stroke it for me stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Work the middle, work the middle
Work the middle, work the middle
Change positions for me
Change positions, do positions
Do positions, do positions
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Stroke it for me, stroke it for me
Rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat
Rock the boat, rock the boat

Simone held Gabriel's hand as they made their way over to Eve and T.C. She was praying that they would like Gabriel. Because if they forbade her to see him she wouldn't follow their wishes. He just made her feel so special like she was the only girl for him. Finally a boy that liked her and not Whitney.
"Mom Dad this is Gabriel Woods. Gabriel these are my parents."
T.C. held his hand out and Gabriel shook it. "Nice to meet you Gabriel," Eve told him. "So where are you from?"
"New York. I live there with my cousin."
Simone smiled widely since everything was going smooth already.
*~*~
Sam and Grace walked over towards Kay, Noah, Lucas, and Chasity. Chasity put her cup of juice down on the table ready for any verbal abuse Chief Bennett would direct towards her mother. "Hey kids," Grace greeted.
"Mom Dad this is Lucas. Lucas my parents."
"Nice to meet you Chief Bennett and Mrs. Bennett."
Sam looked at the kid astonished at how much he looked like Julian. Same eyes, hair, and mysterious look in his eyes. He didn't like him already.
"Mom this is Chas. Chas my mother."
"Hello Chasity."
"Mrs. Bennett. Come on Noah. Let's dance."
*~*~
Nikolas felt his breath get caught in his throat when Gia emerged from the ladies room. She had on a denim jumpsuit with black boots. He turned away when she started walking towards him hoping he wasn't caught. "Nikolas!" Nikolas turned around surprised to here her calling him. "Gia what is it?"
The only answer Nikolas received was Gia's lips on his.
*~*~
Phillip draped his coat over Marcy as they walked on the slippery sidewalk. Their walk was filled with silence, neither party knowing exactly what to say. "Where are we headed?" Marcy finally asked.
"Anywhere you want to go. It's your call."
Marcy grinned. "I got the perfect place."
