Camille entered the Palm Beach Mall in West Palm Beach and her breath was taken away. Malls always did this to her they were her heaven on earth. She stood there looking at the mall directory. She continplated on which store to go to. After a few moments she decided on just browsing until she found a store she liked.
After buying 5 new outfits at JC Penny and a few nighties at Victoria’s Secret, Camille left the mall. She placed her bags of clothing in the backseat of her 99 BMW Hard Top Convertible and drove away.
As she cruised the streets she found a McDonalds. Suddenly she felt hungry and pulled into the parking lot. An excited feeling swept over her as she parked her car.
She went inside the air-conditioned building and ordered a large fries and a chocolate milkshake. Sitting at a small table in the corner of the restraunt, Camille dug into her fries. She didn’t often eat out and when she did she usually ordered a hamburger as well but today was a day she didn’t want to eat a large meal.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a tall man enter the McDonalds. He looked familiar so she turned her head to get a better look at him. She dropped her milkshake, which then immediately splashed all over the floor and on the guy, when she realized that it was AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys. “Oh my gosh, I am so sorry!” She exclaimed as she took a napkin and bent down to wipe the chocolate milkshake from his pants.
He began to laugh. “Isn’t that funny I was just thinking I want a chocolate milkshake but I didn’t quite mean like that! Here let me help you” AJ said when he noticed the girl was moping up the mess on the floor. “So I must have startled you. What’s your name?” He asked her.
She looked up meeting his brown eyes with her own blue ones. “Camille Anderson” She replied as AJ’s breath was taken away by the eyes that he was quickly drowning in.
“Your eyes are amazing.” he said.
She laughed “Well thank you AJ” she smiled to prove that she was perfect. He stood and held his hand to her.
“Since I spoiled your drink how about you join me for a milkshake and a walk on the beach?” AJ suggested. Camille was too shocked that all she could do was nod.
The darkness swirled around Camille’s bare shoulders as she stared up at the stars. She lay on the beach peacefully looking up at the stars. AJ was beside her and was pleasantly listening to her as she explained which shape was which.
“And That bright star right there is Polaris or the North Star” She said pointing up. AJ didn’t bother to take his eyes from her face. Her silhouette was so delicate so precious. She turned, propping her head in her hand and looked at him. “So AJ what’s new?”
“Nothing much. We just completed our European Tour and am going to be going back out on the road in a week.” He replied as he looked up at the sky and sighed.
“That sounds so cool. Well there isn’t much new in my life besides the completion of my move here to Florida. That was tiring but now it is over and I am here.” Camille said as she told him of her week.
“Why Florida? What made you chose here?” AJ asked curious about this girl.
“Oh Well when I was studying colleges I found the little college here and read about its Journalism and Photography programs. When I found that they were the best in all of the USA I decided to give it a whirl. I moved here with my best friend, Kyla whom will be taking a dance derection course at the college. She wants to be a dance choreographer.” Camille informed him of what made her chose to live so far from home.
“Oh that sounds cool.” AJ said as he glanced down at his watch “Oh look at the time! I have to get going...uh..can I have your number so I can give you a call?”
“Oh Okay.” Camille reached into her pocket and found a slip of paper that had her new phone number on it. “This is the slip of paper the telephone operator gave me.” Camille explained as she handed AJ the piece of paper.
“Thank you. I will give you a call tonight okay?” He said as she stood up.
“Okay, I guess I will talk to you soon then.” Camille said.
“Yeah soon” AJ said as he took her hand and kissed it. “It is goodbye for now but not forever”
Camille blushed. “That is a sweet way of putting it” She said. After they parted, Camille walked back to her car and drove back to the apartment.
