| The Expectation of Beauty |
Niambi Cook may’ve taken her assignment to tutor Campion Greer far better had she not
witnessed his uncle attacking a dancer in the alley behind her aunt’s club.
Camp was trying to deal with the fact that once again his father’s efforts to give him life’s
necessary advantages made him look like a spoiled rich brat in the eyes of his lovely new tutor.
Niambi wasn’t overly surprised to see the son of her mother’s boss sitting in the front room of
her AP English class. In her opinion the Greer’s got what they wanted, when the wanted and how
they wanted it. Clearly, it was the case for Camp’s uncle. Malcolm Greer’s well-known bad boy
image was only overlooked because his family owned a third of Raleigh, NC. As far as Niambi was
concerned he was lower than a slug. The attack she’d witnessed solidified that fact a thousand
times. Moreover, her opinion of Malcolm wasn’t a far cry from the one she held of his nephew.
Still, no one could deny Camp’s appeal. In spite of all he had, he was well-liked. His long list of
friends forgot the boy’s family employed almost half the people in town. Of course, Camp wasn’t
just popular because of his social skills. Looks ran deep and gorgeous in the Greer family. Camp
had lost out on none of those benefits. The caramel skin, dark eyes, soft hair and athletic build
drew the girls in droves.
Niambi however was no fool for looks. The youngest in a family of beautiful women, Niambi had
seen that beauty cast nothing but shame, doubt and pain on the lives of her mother and aunts. The
fact that tarnished reputations were the norm in her family was something Niambi worked daily to
overcome.
She could pretty much guess what Camp Greer’s expectations were. But for a boy who had only
to look twice at a girl and have her ready to follow him anywhere, Camp found that there was
something more to his interest in Niambi.
In spite of her best efforts to resist, Niambi found herself becoming just as drawn to her
handsome student. She had vowed not to become another name on his long list of conquests and
working with him daily wreaked havoc on that decision. Still, a bond was created and Niambi came
to realize why Camp was such a friend magnet. She also came to realize how close he was to his
uncle. Camp adored Malcolm and it was clear he had no clue what the man was capable of. Now
Niambi had to ask herself if she was willing to let Camp go on idolizing a devil or would she
enlighten him and risk losing a friend-a friend she was slowly yet surely falling in love with.
