Chapter 4
"I thought you'd gotten over that man."
"So did I. I mean she's just so...so...wow." Nick sighed.
"Uh-huh."
"Anyway, I need your help."
"What for?"
"I want you to help me to...to..."
"To...what?"
"To be more comfortable around her. I wanna be...seductive."
AJ raised his eyebrows. "Seductive?"
"Yeah you know...suave and smooth and shit. Like you are...sorta."
AJ frowned.
"I wanna make her feel certain things. Like make her think about me after I'm gone, I want her to long for my presense...my touch." Nick was staring off into space, his eyes glazed over.
"Nick, you've been home too long. You need to get back out on the road man."
Nick stared him. "Help me man!"
AJ sighed. "You need a lot of work...but ok. Look, I'll come by tomorrow and we'll get started."
"Thanks man!"
"Aight I'm outta here. See ya tomorrow." AJ waved before heading out the door.
Nick raced up to his room and grabbed his journal. Opening it, he started writing.
Entry 2
Hey, A few days ago, I saw this chick....no wait, I saw this woman at this restaurant.
She was so pretty and I don't know what it is about her but she just...she just takes me there...
ok THAT was stupid...I think that's some line from a Beach Boys song or something...
anyway, so I went to where she works and I set up an appointment to have her do stuff for me!
She says fhe she's an interior designer or something like that, so I guess I'm getting' ma house redecorated.
I gotta meet with her on friday.
Can't wait to see her, of course I made a total ASS of myself when I met her.
I can be so dense sometimes. So I guess i'll write later or something.
Bye Nick
ps. ya know, this isn't so bad actually

Keyana sat to her desk typing. She thought of her brief meeting with Nick. What a peculiar man he was. He seemed so...out of sorts and nervous. Why had he been so nervous? She hoped the meeting at the end of the week would prove to be more productive. She really needed more clientele if she was going to make a name for herself in this business. Turning in her chair, she stared out the window at the street below. Just then the phone rang.
"Keyana Johnson."
"Hey baby!"
"Shane! How are ya?"
"I'm great now that I'm talking to you!"
Keyana giggled. "Stop that!"
"So I'll let ya go, just wanted to call and say hi. Give me a call later ok?"
"You know it. Love ya."
"Love you too! Bye baby." Keyana hung up the phone smiling, he always knew how to brighten her day. Turning back around in her chair, she got started on some more work.
