After Africa returned home from her business trip to LA, she and David stayed in touch. During the LA trip, David expressed his interest in Africa but Africa wasn't really receptive at first because she knew it was bad to mix business with pleasure. Especially, since David was one of the three bosses. That's a whole other story.
There was a weekend event for a major magazine called Sophisticated Men's magazine in New Jersey that she thought would be a good networking event and a good opportunity to meet some people that could possibly help her along in her modeling career. The event was being held in a very nice hotel. Attendees booked their rooms weeks in advance in order to stay the whole weekend and participate in the weekend events that magazine was offering. This was one of the biggest networking events that took place every year and this would be the first time she attended. Even though the event was for the whole weekend, it wasn't necessary that Africa stay in NJ the whole weekend. She really wanted to stay but she didn't have the money to book herself a hotel room as well as money for any miscellaneous expense incurred. She would be attending this alone but she was going to meet up with some photographers that she worked with. So she already knew she would not be wandering the hotel alone.
Unfortunately, it would be difficult to get back home from NJ late at night. She didn't have a hotel room booked to stay in allowing Africa to be able to attend only Saturday's event's and go back home after. It would be hell taking public transportation back home from NJ at 12 in the morning. She needed to figure out who was willing to give her a ride. If David came, maybe he would take her back home.
Sophisticated Men's magazine was also partnering with David's company for the company's eye candy calendar Africa shot for in LA. So she already knew that there was a huge possibility that she would see David again at the event. Not to mention that David lived in New Jersey. Africa grabbed her blackberry from off the bed and decided to text David to asks if he was going to attend the magazines event. The last time she spoke to David was a week after she returned home from LA.
AFRICA: Hey..what's up?
DAVID: Whats up, how you doing?
AFRICA: I'm good. Hope all is well with you. Did you hear about the Sophisticated Men's event being held in NJ this weekend? Are you going?
DAVID: Yeah, I will be there. You going?
AFRICA: Yeah, I will be there.
DAVID: I look for forward to seeing you again.
Africa smiled at the words on her blackberry. It vibrated again showing another text from David.
DAVID: Are you staying for the whole weekend?
AFRICA: Ummm, well, I want to but I don't have a room booked for the weekend.
DAVID: I will pay for a room for you.
Africa wasn't expecting David to offer a room. She didn't even ask him for the ride yet. She was pleasantly surprised.
AFRICA: That's very nice of you. Are you sure?
DAVID: It's not a problem. Just call me as soon as you get to New Jersey. I will meet you at the hotel.
AFRICA: OK, thank you. See you then.
For some reason, Africa was filled with anticipation and excitement. She
couldn't wait to see David again.
STAY TUNED....
