       Chapter 3

      “Kendrick, come over here for a second.”

      Kendrick walked over to where his friends Monty and Angelica were standing. “What’s up?” he asked as he approached the group.

      “Who do you think is more talented... Viola Davis or Taraji P. Henson?”

      Kendrick shook his head. “Another debate?”

      “Yeah, man,” Monty said. “Ange always thinks she’s right.”

      Angelica smirked. “That’s because I usually am.”

      Monty threw his hands in the air. “See what I mean?”

      “I don’t know, you guys. They are both amazing actresses.”

      “We know that, but you have to have an opinion on it,” Monty said. “It’s a simple question. Which one is more talented?”

      “Kendrick, if you don’t answer, Monty will never let me get back to work.”

      Kendrick laughed, knowing what Angelica said was true. He’d worked with Monty and Angelica in the movie industry for the past six years. They all belonged to The Gilbert Monroe Agency as did most of the crew. Although Kendrick was a creative director, Angelica was a visual effects editor and Monty was a cameraman, they were lucky enough to have been placed on several projects together.

      Most recently, they’d each specifically been requested by a major client to do a series of Valentine’s Day commercials that would tie into the promotion of a documentary on the true meaning of love.

      “I guess if I had to answer, both are fierce and leaving a mark in Hollywood.”

      Monty sighed. “That’s not an answer, Kendrick.”

      “Well, it’s the best one I got.”

      A voice sounded on the intercom. “Meeting in ten in the main galley.”

      “Let’s go now and make sure we get a seat,” Angelica said. Kendrick couldn’t help but be excited for this meeting since he was itching to get back on set. He hadn’t worked on a commercial since before the Christmas holiday.

      Whenever he had too much free time on his hands, he tended to do something reckless. And by reckless, he meant he had a tendency to occupy his time with the wrong type of women.

      But Bianca was definitely the right type of woman. She was funny, beautiful, had a great—yet edgy—personality. However, she wasn’t the type of woman he needed to see again. Kendrick had made a vow to focus solely on his career in hopes of landing a director role before the fall. He didn’t have time to date around, especially a woman like Bianca.

      Unfortunately, he doubted he could stay away from her. She was the type of woman he always imagined he could be with. He’d been immediately drawn to her when he met her at the bar, and their date last night exceeded his expectations. He realized that he was getting more attached than he probably should.

      Another date won’t hurt. Although he didn’t have any time to seriously date, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get to know her more. One could argue that he was thinking too much about the situation, but he’d have to disagree. If anything, he wasn’t thinking enough given all he’d been through with women in the past couple years.

      “Look, I spot some seats.” Kendrick followed Angelica and Monty to three open seats in the corner of the room.

      “Hey, you never did tell me why you missed poker night yesterday,” Monty said.

      “I wasn’t aware that I had to give you a rundown of my schedule when I cancel,” Kendrick said with a laugh. “But if you must know, I had a date.”

      Angelica rolled her eyes. “An actual date or a booty call?”

      “An actual date.” Kendrick smiled as he thought about the flushed look on Bianca’s face last night when they’d almost kissed.

      “I’d say it was a very good date given that smile on your face,” Angelica said. “What about all your nondating rules and avoiding love until you land a lead director role?”
