I was sat in front of the TV, flicking through the channels, not paying any attention to what was actually on. Melissa was doing well at rehab, it was a matter of weeks before they were gonna let her out. Brittany & Tammy were at the club, they wanted me to go but I was too beat. I spent enough time over there and on one of my rare days off work, I wasn't gonna go in.
My thoughts were broken from the sound of the intercom. Who was ringing on the door now? It was kind of late. I looked at my watch, 11:20..
"Yeah?" I said pressing the intercom button.
"Hey Kash. Your old buddy Marlon is here to see you." Hector, the guy at the receptions desk said. "He wants you to come down."
"Be there in a sec." I said. I looked at myself, I was in black sweat pants, a dark purple shirt left open with a black vest underneath. I looked decent enough. I haven't seen him since he told me he wanted to be a cop over half a year ago. I made my way down the stairs.
"Hey bro!" Marlon greeted me with a hand shake, pulling me close to him to give me a one handed hug while our hands were locked together. I patted him on the back.
"Long time no see, man!" I said as we both stepped back. "A fully fledged pig now." I said looking him up and down as I checked out the police uniform.
"Yeah, laugh it up." He said putting his hands in the air doing a full 260 degrees turn slowly to let me see the uniform in full.
"You know, you kinda look like Lou. The black cop from the Simpson's." I laughed.
"I know, you got jokes, go on. Laugh it up." He said asI continued laughing.
"That your partner?" I said looking over to the cop car parked on the side walk.
"Yeah. He's safe though. I could've been stuck with a real ass hole. He's been on the job for five years now."
"You wanna come in for a night cap?"
"I can't. I'm on the job. But I was in the neighbourhood and thought, I ain't seen Kash in a while I should drop by and say hi."
"Come around when you have some free time. I'll get the crew over, we'll play cards, smoke some joints and have a couple of beers."
"Sure! You still have the same number right?" I nodded "I'll give you a call man."
"Hey Marlon." The other cop from the car got out. "Check that out." He pointed into the distance on the road. Me and Marlon both looked in the direction he was pointing. There was a flashy looking car speeding down the road.
"Shit how fast is that going?" I asked. His partner had already moved the cop car onto the road, blocking off both lanes and had the lights flashing. The car approaching was a convertible, white a BMW I think, the car was a distance away but I'm pretty sure it's a beemer.
"90 maybe 100." Marlon answered my question as we walked to the cop car. We were on the opposite side of the car, the car was approaching the other side of the cop car. This was for safety reasons.
"Hey, should I use the mega phone?" The guy asked Marlon. For being on the force five years, he looked younger than me and Marlon. And was he really asking a rookie like Marlon for permission to use the mega phone?
"Dude." I whispered to Marlon. "It's kinda late."
"Yeah. People are probably sleeping, so that wouldn't be a great idea. He'll stop when he see's us." The car stopped several yards in front of the cop car. Marlon's partner walked around the cop car and up the drivers side of the window.
"Do you know how fast you were going ma'am?" We heard his partner say. Ma'am? I looked at Marlon.
"Women can drive like maniacs too." He said walking around the cop car, I followed. We stood a couple of feet away from the car. I was surprised to see who was behind the wheel. It was Cameron Diaz. I had seen her once before when she had come around to the club to pick up weed for Justin Timberlake. She looked at me a little funny, like she recognised me but I don't expect her to. She saw me the one time only and she probably see's a lot of faces being an a-list celebrity.
"Hey Marlon. You recon I can deal with this?" I said to him while his partner was still talking to her. It didn't seem like he recognised her. He told her to step out of the vehicle. Cameron had darker hair, which was quite uncharacteristic of her, but I had seen pictures of her at award shows and premieres as a brunette. She had low cut jeans on, black top that was held up by very thin straps going over her shoulders.
"Sure! Yo! Kev!" He motioned with his hands for him to come over to us. I assumed Kev was short for Kevin. "My man over here's got this covered, she's a friend."
"Yeah." I chipped in. "Now go get some actual criminals." I joked. Marlon gave a sarcastic laugh. We touched knuckles.
"I'll call you." He said as him and Kev went into the car and started to drive off.
"Where are they going?" I heard Cameron Diaz ask, she sounded a little nervous.
"Don't worry about it." I turned around to face her. "I took care of it."
"I feel like I know you."
"We've met before. I'm Kash." I said extending my hand.
"Cameron." She said shaking my hand, still looking a little uneasy.
"You came around my club one time to pick up weed for Justin." I reminded her.
"OH!" She breathed out heavily. "Thank God! I thought that the cops left me with some weirdo. I was starting to get really scared."
"Thanks." I said sarcastically at the 'weirdo' remark.
"Not that you're like a weirdo!" She said holding my arm. "That came out so wrong. What I meant was..."
"Don't worry. I'm just playing." I smiled. "I know what you mean." Cameron smiled. She looked really beautiful even in this light, where the streets are lit with the street lights. Her hair was a couple of inches past her shoulder and left out.
"Thanks for that." She hugged me, now that she new that a wasn't a 'weirdo.' "They definitely would've taken my licence away this time."
"Well, a car like that was made to go fast."
"I know!" she said getting excited. She started to go on about the cars engine. I had no clue what she was talking about. When it came to cars, all I knew or cared about, was that it's in good condition and looked good. I buy my cars new, so I've never had to worry about what was under the hood, just how good it looked.
"You wanna see how he drives?"
"He?" I asked.
"Guys make their cars girls, why can't I make mine a guy?" Why not?
"Sure!" I said. I had nothing else to do. She tossed me the keys. We both got in, it was a stick shift. It seemed like all the fast cars had gears. We both put our seat belts on and I turned the engine on and put it into first gear and gave it some gas as I drove away from my house.
"He feels good doesn't he?" Cameron said getting excited.
"Yeah!" I said as I went into second gear. The car picked up speed quite quickly and before I knew it, I was already in fifth gear. "So how comes you dumped Justin? Or... did he dump you?" Cameron laughed.
"No it was a mutual thing!" She said almost shouting, our speech was getting drowned out a little. The top was down and the air coming towards the car was making us have to raise our voices to talk to each other. I looked around and found the switch to put the top back up.
"What does that mean?" I said, now able to talk at normal voice level. "Does it mean you got bored and said to him 'I think we should call it a day,' and not to sound desperate he said 'Sure, I think that's best,' but inside he was thinking 'Shit! This can't be happening. I love fucking this hot piece of ass!' But he didn't want it to seem like it phased him." Cameron laughed really loud at that question.
"No it was a mutual thing. We are from different parts of the entertainment business. He goes out and tours, while I live out of a trailer half the time while I'm filming, so we don't see as much of each other. Whenever one of us gets free time the other doesn't and we end up having to go to the other one and end up just getting in the way. We both agreed that wasn't the best way to have a relationship." She replied honestly. "And he doesn't love fucking my hot ass, cos I don't take it up the ass." She added. Cameron just gave me my opening to take the conversation towards sex.
"You ever tried doing anal." I asked.
"Once, but it kind of hurt." She replied.
"So you stopped?"
"No. I let him finish. But there's no way I'm ever gonna do it again."
"Did you use any form of lubrication?" I asked.
