Chapter 8

Alesso P.O.V

Sometimes I relish in this habit of counting how many times I can tap my fingers. It helps distract me from the inevitable. I'm so nervous I can't even focus properly.

"Did you get the files on this Lusanna" I asked. I can barely think with the memories that cloud my mind of Camilla, it sends me spiraling into a ball of uneasiness. Is she real? Does she really look like Camilla? Is there a chance it might be Camilla? I have too many questions. I asked Eli to find everything he can on her. I keep telling myself it's just to compare but I know damn well that's not the case.

"Yup. Came back two minutes ago."

"Give it quickly" I said reaching for the tablet

"Alright. Take it easy" he could tell I was uneasy, nervous, all the wrong emotions to be feeling right now.

"Alesso?"

I looked up at him so see that he was serious and nervous like me.

"What, Eli?" I asked already anxious to get that tablet.

"If what he said is true, are we going to tell them?" he didn't need to say who it was because I already knew. Camilla's family took it hard when she died and if there really is someone who resembles her to this extent then they might want to see her.

"One ship at a time" I said before I collected the table from him.

"Camilla loved Korean pop music" I whispered.

What the fuck is this? Please God, I know my life hasn't been the most holy or the most righteous but please not let this be some sick of way of punishing me because honestly I can't handle it- I really can't at all.

"Cam?" I called out to her before opening the door. She was on her bed listening to music so she didn't hear me come in. So, I silently walked to her bed before pouncing on her.

She screamed the roof off before turning around to see it was. When she saw it was me, she playfully glared at me.

"That was not funny, Alesso" she was still glaring at me before she started laughing.

"Tapping me on the shoulder wasn't good enough for you?"

"Where's the fun in that?" I laughed before kissing her on the forehead.

"Why are you here, Alesso?"

"Oh, so we just gonna forget that school starts in 45 minutes or did the music distract you?" I asked

"Shit! I forgot. How do you forget you have school?" she cursed

"Language." I tapped you her on the forehead.

"Let's go before we're late." She grabbed my hand before dragging me down the stairs.

On our way to school she plays this music that I have no idea what they're saying but she seems to be enjoying it so I leave her be but it does have a nice catch to it.

"Saenggag hada jamdeulmyeon (nae kkumsog)

pareul beollyeo ttatteutan (nae pumsog)

neoreul XOXO pume ana XOXO" she sang so fluently that even though she can barely sing and I have no idea what she's saying, I can enjoy it.

"Joma joma ganjeorhan (geu mankeum)

nege daheul deut han (geu ibmatchum)

neoreul XOXO maeil kkume XOXO" she did this little movement with her hands- a kind of x sign and little spirit looking fingers before laughing.

"What are you doing? You look crazy!" I laughed

"Shut up. It's a part of the choreography." She started laughing with me.

"What is that?" I asked curiously.

"Korean Pop, but the song was sang by an all-male group with 12 members. XOXO is the name of the song."

"They named the song after them?"

"No, idiot. The group's name is spelt E-X-O but the song is spelt X-O-X-O." she said

When the song was reaching its climax we were at the school entrance.

"It's nice" I told her.

"Duh. I don't listen to crap."

By the time she finished singing I was already parking the car. When we reached the hallways I had to go to a different floor than her because we were in two different levels so when I hugged her, I wasn't letting go.

"Alesso, let go" she laughed

"I really don't want to"

"We're going to be late for class if you don't let go" she said

"Fuck the classes" I muttered while inhaling her scent.

"Language!" she fake scolded me. My guess is it's because I scolded her earlier.

"If you don't let go we go for no ice cream after school" she threatened.

I sighed in defeat while she smiled in triumph.

"I hate you"

"No, you don't" she laughed at me.

The little witch knows that if we go for no ice cream after school, I don't get to see her because I have target practice for the rest of the week.

I kissed her cheek before letting her go. She waved at me before turning and walking to class.

"Boss, Razor just jumped the light and crashed onto a car" the driver informed me snapping me out of thoughts.

I frowned.

"Why the fuck did he jump the light?"

"Don't know boss but it's a white Audi. The driver seems to be a woman and she looks pissed. Light's got ten seconds before it changes to green."

"We don't have time for this" I sighed exasperated.

""When we stopped behind the car Razor was driving, I could vaguely see a woman surrounded by six people. I can't see her face and quite frankly I don't want to. The only woman on my mind right now is Lusanna.

"She looks important. Six bodyguards, three men and three women. Left side of the car is completely totaled so you can tell Razor was driving fast. Her head's bleeding and Razor seems to be pissing her off more. The right hook she threw at him says it all. I'll go sort it out" Daniel said before departing the car.

"The longer we stay here, the less time we I have of finding this woman." I rubbed my temples.

"You think it's true?" Eli asked me.

My heart skipped a beat before I answered.

"I honestly don't know. I mean if it's true that she's alive then that means they lied to us. She's going to have a lot of explaining to do because I am going to be pissed but if it's not her and this is really just another girl that looks exactly like her then my hopes would have been for nothing. I'm gonna take her back to California with or without her love."

He opened his mouth to reply but frantic knocking brought our attention to the window. Daniel was signaling us to get out the car. I guess whatever is outside is so important.

I sighed in annoyance before getting out the car.

"This better be important."

When I got out, the sun temporarily blinded me because the tint on the car was blocking it out. When my eyes adjusted to it and zoomed in on the woman standing by the car- the step I was about to take faltered then completely stopped as I completely stared at her in utter disbelief at her.

Light chocolate skin, dark brown eyes, long curly hair and some lovely pink lips.

"It can't be. Camilla?" I whispered.
