I Did

"Now start speaking before I blow off ya friends head, who the hell sent you!!?"Camala raged out in anger.

"I did ",came a calm reply from someone standing some meters behind Camala,so she turned herself to the person who had won the spot light with her victim.

"Why am I not surprised?", Camala glared at Dieago, finally letting go of Oliver who cowardly winced in pain,and she pointed the gun right at Dieago aiming for his forehead."Bull's eyes", Camala said after imagining herself take a perfect shot at Dieago.

"Wanna try it?", Dieago questioned as if reading her mind.

"I sure will, someday...but right now am not ready to taint my name with ya dirty blood"Camala smirked with her gun still pointed at Dieago.

"Someone is being fiesty", Dieago said taking a few steps forward while Camala retricted taking few steps backwards.

"Enough!!,stop right where you are,else I'll shoot,I can still report it as self defense", Camala glared dagger at Dieago.

"You have always been smart Clara, but just not that smart, self defense from three able bodied men and none got to hurt you?", Dieago questioned with a raised eyebrow taking more bold steps to have Camala retrict.

"I can always fake it", Camala kept her stand.

"You are quit different now,and I most admit,am falling deeply for this bold part of you", Dieago was being sincere but who cares he poised to be a threat to Camala since he wasn't willing to leave her alone.

"You don't know that, and you don't know me either", Camala grinned.

"I don't know what they did to ya brain to make you forget me Clara, but am getting you either ways for myself,cuz you are mine to belong to", Dieago who had thought one of his father's enemies must have done this to Clara since she only went missing during the time his father was running for the presidential election in Chicago which he eventually won.

"Someone is sounding selfish,and why would you want me for yaself?,am not a thing to possess", Camala grinned at Dieago's words which she hated,rich people always thinking they've got the world on their palm.

"But Clara try to remember, you used to..we ..used to love and cherish each other,we were going to get married,we were going to get engage your forster parents were happy", Dieago reminded turning to his cool guy side.

"Engage!?, forster parents!",Camala repeated totally confused, she had always lived in an orphanage,and she wasn't lucky enough to get an adoption, this guy is mad, she had to get out of here ASAP before she gets herself infected by this mad sickness it could be contagious,"i can't believe I accepted Flora's idea of talking to him and now he is driving me nuts", Camala cursed under her breath.

"Try to remember Clara,I used to be ya biggest crush in high school...".

"Enough!!, this is the last time I'd be saying this am not Clara or whatever you call her am Camala", Camala almost screamed dropping her hands to her side."You know what?,am outta here and I don't want to see you anywhere around me", Camala ordered picking up her shopping bags."You guys are nuts,I don't wanna see any of you around me",She repeated on a serious note.

"Not so fast", Dieago said standing on her way.

"Get away from me,u prolly need help,you are a psycho!!", Camala exclaimed.

"Clara just look me in the eyes and tell me you feel nothing and I'll leave", Dieago begged.

"Guy you got a lot of tricks up ya sleeve", Camala smiled mischievously"But it's not going to work on me, now get out of my way this instant,I got somewhere to be,am not falling for your tricks that are as stupid as you are", Camala raged.

"Plzz Clara", Dieago pleaded being stubborn.

"Am not Clara,so back off!!am Camala Ca-ma-la", Camala said stressing her name so Dieago could get her,but anyone could change identity right?.

"I know you are Camala,you can answer any name you want, but just remember me plzz", Dieago was feeling hurt, back then it wasn't like this, Clara used to be the one begging for his attention, but here he is seeing things the other way round.

"You don't get it do you?", Camala question as she turned to glance at Dieago's bodyguards who had stayed quiet and calm all this time like tamed dogs, with faces which seemed to give away the idea that they can't bite but behind that facade they are very specialized at it "You guys really need help,if you are looking for a missing girl,why don't you file a report to the police?", Camala suggested.

"Clara.....".

"I demand you stop calling me Clara!!", Camala yelled at Dieago.

"Okay,Cla...",

"Camala", Camala corrected,and watched Dieago pronounce her name."That's it, good boy,you deserve some cheese mouse", Camala commented Sarcastically.

"Plzzz Clara", Dieago made the mistake again,"I mean Cle..,plz just look..".

"Time out,am outta here", Camala was about to take her leave but was grabbed roughly and pinned against the wall,the guards didn't need a signal to send them outside.

'What the f**k are you doing!", Camala questioned at Dieago who was now towering over her as he blocked every possible route of escaping from her.

"Look me in the eyes", Dieago whispered.

"And why would I do that?", Camala grinned, but her eyes did a wrong job by traveling down his neck to his well chiseled chest and muscular built body,she didn't need to be told he does work out,she glumped her saliva at the thought of the feel of it,all her life she had never felt the need to want or love someone,she did what she does only to get paid but in this splitfull seconds her body craved to touch what she saw as Dieago manly scent over clouded her head driving her out of her senses and she forgot everything that second.

"Look into my eyes", Dieago whispered and the sound of his vioce tickled Camala ear's,he raised her chin up to have her look into his eyes.

Camala shuddered at his touch,she felt a spark when their skin came in contact and their eyes locked and Camala was already in a trance getting lost in a world of fantasy, those deep sea blue coloured eyes took Camala off her guards, for the first time in her life she was all into someone, she wanted to fall deep into his eyes, deep into those ocean, when Dieago made for her lips,she voluntarily gave in, parting her lips waiting for Dieago to beat her moves, when his wet lips came in contact with her's Camala couldn't hold back anymore,they both dived into the kiss which started smoothly, getting used to the connection and as the passion increased,they went to sucking, licking and biting each other Camala stood on her toes with her right hand pressing Dieago's head against her face,so she could get more assess to his mouth while Dieago assisted her with his hands pressing against her waist as their bodies pressed against each other's.Strangely, that part of the shop was left quite with no one disturbing this couple's, Dieago had paid for it though but as soon as it started it was quick to end as Camala managed to pull herself out of the despicable act.

"Stop",She whispered unwillingly, still under the effect of the kiss which Dieago was now peppering all over her slender neck.

"Why ?", Dieago questioned not wanting to stop,the feeling was right,he was correct all this while,she is his Clara."Don't you lik....".

"You jerk,I don't even know you", Camala said with pouted lips as she pushed Dieago effortlessly away from herself.

"It's me Dieago, your soon to be husband".

"Only in your dreams", Camala grinned with a roll of her eye balls.

"You still don't remember?, didn't you feel the passion we crave for each other?", Dieago questioned in disappointment.

"I don't remember anything mister,and I sure don't want you confusing me for someone who am not,am not Clara and I would never be her, you've got the wrong girl nigga", Camala explained fighting the feeling she was already feeling inside for Dieago.

"Clara,try..".

"Ehm,I gotta go,plz stay away from me"Camala said and left without looking back.

Camala sat down outside the apartment on the staircase with a lighted cigarette in her hand, with her head rested on the railings as her mind flashback to the time at the clothes shop.

"Babe what's up?"Flora questioned as she walked up to her friend who was looking depressed and sat down next to her as she dropped her hand at her side."Talk to me babe, you know how much I hate seeing you like this",Flora said knowing well that Camala only smoked when she wanted something off her head or when feeling depressed.

"Am fine", Camala said shoving Flora's hand away from her lap.

"Why then are you not ready for club night,today is your day off from work and I expected you to be ready by now?".

"Am tired,I don't think I can make it to the club today".

"So you ain't going to tell ya best friend?".

"Just cover up for me,tell them I caught a cold".

"As usual,I will but first tell me what happened, you should be enjoying your day off not smoking your lungs out",Flora cajoled.

"Am just feeling tired", Camala sighed wiping a tear that was rolling down her cheek.

"Are you crying?, what happened to you?, speak",Flora said more like an order as she drew Camala into a warm embrace resting her head on her chest as she patted her back tenderly.Camala welcomed the comfort as she cried her heart out,she hated feeling weak but she is human right?, and she had been strong for too long she needed to cry it all out.

Camala was about poking her cigarette into her mouth with her trembling hands."I'll take that",Flora said snatching it from her hand and put it off by stepping on it."Now tell me what happened?",Flora questioned to have Camala raise up her head and managed sit upright.

"Have you ever thought of how it would feel to be wanted?", Camala stammered.

"What are you saying baby?",Flora asked looking confused.

"I mean wanted", Camala repeated sounding like a broken record,she wiped off any trace of tears on her face and cleared her voice."Wanted for who you are, not for the service you provide,I mean really wanted for who u her?", Camala added looking more bold and bright now.

"We are running round circles here girl",Flora replied still not getting Camala.

"Never mind..", Camala said not feeling like telling Flora her experience with Dieago,she didn't want to tell her how she felt protection, love and care which she had always longed for which nature had denied her of since birth,and now she has to be somebody else to get it, from somebody she has always labeled crazy.

"Let's just get inside it's getting colder out here", Camala said already on her feet's,she was putting on a short fled skirt and a black singlet top Which weren't providing much protection from the cold wind of winter.

"You met that odd guy right?",Flora questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"He is sure no longer my prob anymore,I made sure he got the message", Camala reassured her friend as she flashed back and her lips curved up with a devilish smile.

"I hope he does, cuz the next time he shows up to cause any trouble, I'll punch the living daylight outta him".

"He wouldn't,if he has a brain", Camala said with an outstretched hand to help her bestie get on her feet.

"You and your mood swings", Flora teased taking her friends hand.

"How did things go today?", Camala questioned abruptly changing the topic,she was now looking like someone who didn't just cry.

"Some lousy customers, and I got the card of a handsome guy who would be taking me out tomorrow",Flora said giddily as she walked into the apartment with Camala.

"Aren't you the lucky one", Camala teased.

"Gawh...., you and I know that's a lie,if you were there I wouldn't stand a chance at getting the card",Flora admitted the obvious truth.

"Look how far beauty has gotten me!!", Camala exclaimed Sarcastically as she fell lazily on the bed as they were already in their bedroom.

"1 million dollar offer remember",Flora chipped in as she search through the wardrobe for a sexy dress for tonight clubing.

"For Clara...", Camala corrected.

"It isn't your fault that you got a look alike,if I where you I'd be making good use of this opportunity",Flora said moving up to Camala to have her help zip up her half naked gown.

"You actually mean get myself involve with someone who could be a gangster or even a...",

"Shuchh..",Flora said placing her forefinger on Camala's lip,which Camala immediately shoved away."No one is telling you to get involve with him, just be a smart girl and get the money!".

"Isn't that the most dume idea have heard, putting my life at stake for some paper", Camala grinned laying back down on the bed as she was done helping Flora with her zip.

"Suit yourself",Flora sneered with a roll of eyeballs as she put on her heels and moved up to Camala to place a good bye kiss on her forehead.

"Take care babe".

"You too sweetie,and this time don't over sleep",Flora ordered as she left.

"I won't forget that", Camala murmured in reply as she picked up her phone to feed on it.
