laughing as well. After a few more minutes, Morris had to rush off. All this time, we had not realized someone had been paying attention to our conversation.
Chapter 11
This was all so surreal. I was sitting at the very trendy Dolce restaurant in West Hollywood with movie stars. The décor was great. Black leather chairs and table cloths, dramatic lighting, and an isolated fire behind the fully stocked bar gave the restaurant a high class feel. Morris was sitting to the right of me and Curtis was on the left. Lailiana sat across from Morris. We were munching on the bread and amuse bouché while we conversed and waited for the entrees. I didn't know how I should be acting around all of these celebrities. Since Morris had been working with them for some time now, he was not fazed one bit by them.
"So has Morris shown you all of the sights yet?" Lailiana asked me and Curtis.
"Naw," we both said in unison. Morris gave Lailiana a look.
"Sights? Hell, I aint even seen no damn sights. I am always on set. You know that." Lailiana reached across the table and placed her hand on top of his.
"Well, what about all the places I showed you. I thought I gave you a great tour." Lailiana said that a little bit too flirtatious for my taste. I looked over at Morris and he had this awkward grin on his face. Curtis was hitting me under the table.
"Yes, it was real cool, but I think Curtis and Tre could benefit from the tour, as well." Lailiana started to smile brightly.
"That's a great idea! Why don't we go out before you two leave? I am always looking for a good reason to let loose and have fun with my schedule being as hectic as it usually is. And who knows, with three PHYNE men like you following me around, the tabloids may have something new to write about." We all laughed… well at least faked a laugh. Shit, the tabloid is what got us to this point in the first place.
My meal was okay, but nothing special. The portion was so small that I finally understood why everyone in California was so skinny. The poor babies obviously don't eat. After finishing my meal, I excused myself to go to the restroom. On my way out, I bumped into a familiar stranger.
"Oh, I am so sorry," I said after crashing right into him. I don't know what I was doing that I didn't see him coming my way.
"It’s no problem, dude." When my eyes actually focused on his face, I saw that I was right in front of Breion Grey, one of the best neosoul singers out. I always had thought that he was attractive, but up close, he was flawless. His skin was an even toned caramel and his hair was curly. It looked like he definitely didn't have "nigga hair". I tried to play it cool. If I had learned anything today, it was not to be star struck.
"Umm, you have a good day." I tried to get back to my seat, but Breion wasn't going to make my getaway that easy.
"Wait a minute. You are Morris' homeboy, right." That right there, definitely made me stop. How did he know that? I guess my face gave away how puzzled I was. "Oh, my bad. I am in the movie too. You may not have seen me on the set, but I was there."
"Damn, how many people are in this movie?" He laughed.
"I know, right. But this is my first film and what better role to play besides a singer. I mean, it’s not a big stretch."
"Is it a big part?"
"Well, you are just going to have to wait until the movie comes out to see that now, won't you?" If I didn't know any better, I would swear that he was flirting with me.
"I guess I will have to wait. Hopefully, Morris will get me a ticket to be at one of those premieres."
"If he doesn't invite you, I definitely will." Okay, now this is definitely flirting. It is time to tear myself away from his sexy ass.
"Uh, I think that I need to get back to the table." I started to walk away. I needed to. No matter what came out of his mouth next, I was leaving.
"So I will see you on the set later, right?" I
