****Umm so I found this video of this dude doing a cover of Porn Star and I must say it's the best thing I ever heard. Like, I never knew someone could sound so good. SIKE!!!!! This dude is a f'ing mess. He looks a mess and he sounds a mess. This made my day. 

Also Idris in the m/m for those that don't know who he is. And yes, Idris does live in Atlanta for real. ****

AMBER P.O.V. -

“Congressman Lewis.” Idris’s eyes shifted from me to Congressman Lewis and he shook his hand.

“I want you to meet your future mayor.” Congressman Lewis said.

“This beautiful young lady right here ey?” He looked at me, then back at Congressman Lewis.

“No, but if Mr. Parker plays his cards right, she could be your first lady.”

“Well in that case I look forward to it. You don’t mind if I…” He took my hand and looked at Nate asking for his permission to kiss it.

“I do. But in your case Mr. Elba I’ll make an exception.”

“Very well then. Nice to meet you gorgeous.” Idris kissed my hand.

I just kept telling myself, Amber don’t faint. Amber please don’t faint and embarrass yourself in this room full of people.

I couldn’t get a word out so I just smiled.

“You have great taste.” He looked at Nate. “And you are my man?” He shook his hand.

“Nate Parker.”

“Wait a minute. Your grandfather is the governor of Georgia?”

“Norman Parker. Yes, that’s him.”

“I worked on his campaign you know. The first black governor of Georgia. I had to be apart of that history” Idris put his hands in his pocket.

“Is that right?”

“And you’re following in his footsteps?”

“I am trying to continue to carry the torch of greatness my family has set before me, yes.”

“Well Atlanta needs a new mayor. You and I both know the current one isn’t doing much for the city. And you seem like you’re very capable of doing the job. Here’s my card. When you get your campaign rolling give me a call. I’ll make a donation.” He handed Nate his card.

“I will do that sir.”

“Gentlemen. Lady.” He bowed his head to me. “Enjoy your night.”

“You’re outta here?” Congressman Lewis asked him.

“Yeah. Early morning flight to L.A. Start filming. Don’t forget to call me.” He looked at Nate.

“I won’t.” Nate replied.

Idris smiled at us then walked off.

“Okay Mr. Parker, I need to go find my wife. She’s somewhere around here running her mouth. But you and Ms. Riley enjoy yourself. There’s food in the dining room.”

“We will sir. And we are grateful for your hospitality.” Nate gave him a hand-shake.

He nodded to me, then walked off.

I quickly snatched my arm away from Nate. He laughed.

“You’re a great actress. Gives me even more confidence in your ability to do the job. That is what most politics is about. Acting.” He grabbed a drink from a tray a butler was holding.
