“Cameron? What’s wrong?”

Something was off.

“Hey buddy? What the hell do you think ya’ll doing?” Cameron’s voice boomed in her ear as he accosted a man who had apparently been dancing behind her.

Maria stepped back, watching the exchange, shocked at the sudden metamorphosis Cameron had gone through in just a few seconds. His Texan accent was as strong as ever and there was a distinctly menacing tone to it, a side of Cameron she hadn’t seen until that point.

The man, a very tall, black male with a huge afro that bounced when he moved, continued to dance right in front of Cameron, even getting in his face every so often as he reacted to Cameron’s presence.

“What’s up wid’ you? I’m just dancing.” She heard him say.

“Just dancing? You were gyrating your ... your crotch right behind my girl there. And I saw what else you were doing, too. That’s disrespectful to me and her!”

Cameron growled, clearly incensed at the man’s posturing behavior.

The man laughed, a mocking tone, and stepped right up into Cameron’s face, “This is a club! People dance in clubs, get over yourself man!”

“Get over myself!” Cameron was becoming even angrier and Maria wanted to stop things before they got out of hand but Cameron wasn’t listening.

“Cameron?” She shouted over the noise, “Cameron, please, just forget it.” She begged but it was as if he couldn’t hear her.

“Be a man, and apologize to my girl for that despicable behavior ... go on, do it!” Cameron said, threateningly, the tone of his voice beginning to scare Maria. She didn’t know how much more she could take.

“Get the fuck outta my face, you white trash. You-ise just jealous, I feel sorry for your girl there!”

The heavily accented man countered, becoming angry himself in the process.

Maria turned and walked out of the club away from Cameron and the suddenly horrible thumping bass-lines and blinding lights. Struggling to hold back tears, she sat down on a nearby bench and took a deep breath, calming herself.

She had only known Cameron for a few weeks, and in that time the two of them had only met like this twice. Cameron had completely surprised her with his behavior, but as she sat there mulling it over, watching the door for his appearance, she realized he was only protecting her. Guarding her dignity and not allowing that man to disrespect her. She smiled, it was actually quite noble of him to stand up for her like that, she thought. Hadn’t she always wanted a man like that, to sweep her off her feet and be there for her, to protect her, and comfort her in times of need like that in the club?

Yes ... maybe?

After a few minutes of waiting, watching the party goers come and go, listening to the myriad of accents as they chatted animatedly in their groups, she spotted Cameron leaving the club, flanked by two men in tuxedos, two big men. He must have been asked to leave, she realized ... good, she thought.
