Graeme and Damion did not film scenes on Sunday. So, Graeme spent most of Sunday searching for Janiyah's favorite flowers.

Damion called Janiyah about switching dinner to her new home space, so he can see it. Damion left out one detail - he was bringing Graeme.

Janiyah told Damion to bring swim trunks because she has a pool.

While Graeme was out and about, Damion sent him a text to bring swim trunks. Graeme instantly thought about Janiyah in a bathing suit. He hauled himself back to the hotel for a nice, cold shower.

Meanwhile, Janiyah made her way to the grocery store to get the ingredients to make Damion's favorite meal. 

After picking up the ingredients she needed, Janiyah made her way home to start cooking.

*****************************************

When Damion pulled up in Janiyah's driveway, he noticed her friend's vehicles. So, he warned Graeme, "Janiyah invited her friends and I know for a fact they are huge fans of yours. But, remember why you are here. And, I see you got exactly what I told you to. I'm impressed." Damion mentioned as they got out of his truck and made their way to the front door.

Damion's sister, Janelle opened the door. When she saw Graeme, she was speechless.

"C-c-come in. You're Graeme Harrison!!!" Graeme entered, but Damion almost got the door shut in his face.

He stuck his foot out. "Love you too, Janelle!!"

"Sorry bro. How often do I get to meet a hot movie star like Graeme Harrison?! I see you all the time."

Graeme chuckled, while Damion sighed.

"Janiyah is so wrong about you. You don't seem like your movie character at all. Sorry for gawking. I'm the youngest Frazier kid, Janelle. It's nice to meet you."

Graeme tells her, "It's nice to meet you too."

"Janiyah is in the back yard with Amira and Danielle. She made your favorite foods - her 'lip-smacking, fall off the bone' ribs, mac & cheese, grilled corn on the cob, and collard greens."

Graeme salivated hearing what she cooked. "If she could cook in the kitchen, where else can she cook?"

Janelle suddenly started grinning because she saw what Graeme had in his hands. "You have a crush on my sister, don't you?"

Smoothly, Graeme replied, "Yes, I do. The problem is she thinks my on-screen personality is the way I am in real life. But, that is far from the truth."

"Damion and I both tried to tell her, but she is stubborn. Leave that stubborn girl to us. The only thing is that she likes Dylan Taylor. I personally don't like him. He says he likes my sister, but yet he sends her to a restaurant and doesn't have a reservation. Like, seriously? Then, the date was on a Saturday - why was he late? I have even seen him flirt with other women and it pisses me off. I don't want Janiyah to get hurt by this guy. So, I have my eyes on him." Janelle mentioned and it caused Graeme to think, "Hang in there, Graeme."

Janiyah heard voices, so she entered the foyer. She saw Graeme and was about to be irritated. But, she saw what he had in his hands. Maybe she misjudged him. She also saw that muscular build again. He had on a white tank top with swim trunks and flip flops. She tried not to stare, especially at his chest, which was bulging. "What does his chest look like without the tank shirt?" Janiyah tried so hard to shake that thought out of her head.

The images Graeme pictured about Janiyah in a bathing suit were valid. He found himself panting like a dog.

"Welcome to my new home. And, thank you for the wine and flowers, Mr. Harrison. They are my favorite. Dinner is almost ready. Damion, I'll give you a tour later." Graeme pumped his fist while Janiyah was not looking.

This time, instead of Graeme walking behind her, Janiyah walked behind him. Boy, did she enjoy it. She enjoyed it a little too much because she detoured right to the bathroom for a splash of cold water on her face. "I have to stop doing that. I like Dylan, not Graeme Harrison." Once Janiyah was composed, she made her way to the kitchen. Then, went outside.

"Can someone help me bring out the food please? And, take the ribs off of the grill?" Janiyah politely asked.

Danielle and Amira couldn't help but gawk at Graeme. He jumped out of his chair real fast to help Janiyah.

Damion replied, "I'll get the ribs off the grill."

When Janiyah saw Graeme coming to help her, she didn't seem as irritated as usual with him.

"I really am sorry about the way I acted last Friday." He shyly said.

Janiyah turned around to face Graeme. "And, I'm sorry for my attitude at the restaurant. I had never had a date be late before. Let's face it, I haven't had many dates lately."

Graeme was puzzled. "But why? You are a very beautiful person. Damion talks about all the wonderful things you do for the city of Houston."

This time, Janiyah gave Graeme a smile. "Thank you. I love my hometown. I would do anything for Houston. But as for dating, guys are intimidated by me and won't approach me to even ask. I even met JJ Watt and some of the Texans players and even they felt intimidated. I'm a huge football fan. Sometimes I ramble, so just tell me to calm down. I'll show you my game room later. Can you grab the mac & cheese for me? Here are some oven mitts."

Janiyah handed Graeme the oven mitts and he took it out of the oven.

As they walked outside, she asked, "I am guessing Damion mentioned the flowers and wine you brought are my favorites?"

"Yes, he did. I want to prove to you that I am not anything like my movie characters. I thought this would be a starting point."

"I will admit I like your movies, but not your character. And, I need to admit that I am judging your personality like people judge mine. I'm sorry. So, how about we start fresh?" Janiyah says as they walk through the sliding doors to the patio. Once Janiyah and Graeme put the food down, then they re-introduce themselves.

"Graeme Harrison, I am Janiyah Frazier. It is nice to meet you." Then, Graeme does the same thing. "Janiyah Frazier, I am Graeme Harrison. And, it is nice to meet you too."

Damion, Amira, Danielle, and Janelle are all baffled at this exchange. So, Janiyah remarked, "I realized I was judging Graeme's personality like people were judging me for being intimidating. So, I apologized."

"Okay, sis because we were wondering what was going on. I'm glad my best friend and sister are now on speaking terms. Now, I can breathe." Damion proudly boasted.

Janiyah playfully jabbed her brother before saying, "Hush boy. Now, I have more food in the kitchen. So, come and help me." Janiyah and Damion excused themselves and went back inside to the kitchen for the rest of the food.

"I found out why Carrie pulled that stunt on Saturday. I heard her whining on the phone to somebody that she has always liked Graeme. So, when she found out he broke up with his now ex and he would be starring in this movie, she wanted to be more than co-stars. She saw you as threat."

Janiyah retorted, "Look, I just apologized for judging him wrongly. We aren't even close to being friends."

Damion suddenly decided to smirk. "Now it's Graeme, and not Mr. Harrison?" 

They both chuckled. "Boy, shut up. I will again admit that he is very attractive, but that is it."

Damion continued smirking. "Oh yeah? Care to explain why you detoured to the bathroom?"

"Okay, okay. You got me. The view from behind is amazing."

"Why do you think I had Graeme bring your favorite wine and flowers? He wants to impress you because he is attracted to you."

"That's nice and all, but the one guy that I really liked finally asked me out. Granted he ruined the date by showing up late and not making a reservation. But, we are going to try again, and I am picking the place this time." They grabbed the salad, fried chicken, and sweet potato pie. Then, they walked back outside.

***********************************************

Elsewhere in Houston, Dylan took a phone call from an unknown caller.

Unknown - "You almost blew it by being late. And, no reservation? Seriously?! Do I need to get someone else to do the job right?!"

Dylan - "No! No! I can handle it. I promise. She is giving me another chance and we are going out this coming weekend. She is picking the place."

Unknown - "You have got one more shot at this. Don't screw it up!! Got it?!"

Dylan - "Loud and clear."

*******************************************************

Back at Janiyah's home, she gave everyone, including Graeme a tour of her house. The last spot she showed was the game room.

Graeme was totally impressed with Janiyah's game room. She had autographed Texans jerseys hanging on the wall, as well as Ravens jerseys.

"Can I ask why do you have jerseys of the Ravens?"

"I have season tickets to the Texans games. But, the several times I have went to road games, I always traveled to Baltimore. The electricity their fans emanate is amazing. And, some of their players attended a charity event I held in Houston one year in the offseason. They were kind enough to sign some jerseys that I bought. Also, they somehow find a way to beat New England in the playoffs. But not this past year. They lost to the Chargers and my Texans lost to the Colts in the Wildcard round."

Throughout the tour, Graeme notices Janiyah has great taste. Her house is beautiful decorated. He tells her, "You have a beautiful home." And, once again Janiyah found herself smiling.

"Thank you. I also have an Xbox and a Wii game system in the TV room through the double doors. Also, I have a bunch of board games and plenty decks of cards."

Graeme found himself more and more attracted to Janiyah - she is humble, down to earth, smart, very beautiful and can cook. He wanted to stay as long as he could to find out more about her. So, he suggested, "How about a round of pool?"

Janiyah crossed her arms and arched her eyebrows. "Before we play, are you the type of guy that calls a girl out of her name if she wins? Several times I have punched men in their face for doing that to me."

Graeme was quick to point out, "I did that one time and got punched right in the mouth. Never did it again."

Amira and Danielle went to watch television. Damion and Janelle stood on the side watching them play.

************************************

Graeme and Janiyah were evenly matched. He won 2 games. And, Janiyah won two games. "How about a bet? Loser has to do whatever the winner wants." Graeme challenged Janiyah.

"Mr. Harrison, you got yourself a bet." Janiyah retorted.

An hour later, Janiyah and Graeme were down to their last shot. Janiyah cautiously looked at the pool table, then positioned her cue stick to take her shot. "Dang!" She complained as she missed her shot.

Graeme then positioned his cue stick to take his shot. "8 ball in the corner pocket." He proclaimed. Graeme hit the ball and 'swish' - 8 ball went in the corner pocket. Janiyah inwardly scolded herself and Graeme inwardly jumped for joy.

All eyes are now on Graeme, waiting for what he wants Janiyah to do. 

Graeme then says, "Ms. Frazier, I want you to....."
