"Hey! Wait up!" I run as fast as I can in the worst running shoes known to man... flip flops, cautious that with every step I run the risk of tripping over and humiliating myself in front of the one person I'm trying like an idiot to impress
"Oh my God, you came out of the house without a shirt on?! Put it away! Please!" She spares me a fleeting glance over her shoulder before shading her eyes with her hand as though the very sight of me without a shirt on offends her
"That's not the sort of begging you were doing two nights ago" I slow down and then stalk towards her, my eyes fixed only on what I hope is about to become mine "Two nights ago you were begging to see me, all of me"
Finally her feet stop moving away from me as she turns to actually look at me, only her gaze rises no higher than my black and white flip flops and that's not enough to satisfy the want I have for her
"I don't know who you think I am..." I can't stop my hand shooting out and grazing over the mark on her neck, the mark I made and my chest warms with pride
"I know exactly who you are... Camila"
"You heard my brother" she pulls her head away from my touch and I immediately want my hands back on her "My name's Karla"
"Your name's irrelevant"
"Do you make a habit of running around half naked? Because believe me, it's not a good look" she crosses her arms over her chest as disgust drips from her words
"Oh Camila, I have a mirror honey and I know for a fact that it's a very, very good look. In fact..." I step closer to her and bend my knees slightly, hoping to get a proper look at the face that's hidden behind glasses and is still staring down at my feet "Tell me when and where and you can get a good look at me up close and personal" I swipe my tongue over my eager lips as my hearts begins to thump, hoping she'll raise her head and play this game with me and in a split second I get half my wish as her head snaps up and the eyes that had burned so hot with desire two nights ago are staring at me with an icy detachment that I immediately hate
"I wouldn't come near you even if I was wearing head to foot protective clothing and a face mask"
"Well that's funny because two nights ago you had my dick in your mouth, can't get much closer than that" her comment hurt more than I was prepared for and unfortunately for us both when I'm hurt, I hurt back
"I don't know what you're talking about" her words say one thing whilst every part of her screams another and my entire body is lit on fire with fury at her earlier words
"You know exactly what I'm talking about" I step closer and love the way she looks around her for an escape route "You and me by a waterfall, your hands and mouth all over me, you begging me for more"
"You're insane"
"Not as insane as you are if you expect me to believe that you don't remember it, that you don't remember me"
"Maybe you're just not as memorable as your ego would have you believe"
"And maybe you're not the good girl you would have your family believe"
Before I can even register what she's about to do her hand lands hard on my cheek, the sound shocking me almost as much as the impact does
"And maybe you don't know what the hell you're talking about!" She turns quickly and begins heading down the road in the opposite direction to where she lives
"Your house is the other way!" I yell to her but she doesn't even pause, she just holds her middle finger up at me and then keeps walking "So much for 'innocent' and 'dull'" I mumble to myself whilst my hand soothes my stinging cheek and I turn and head back towards my house in need of alcohol and a lot of it

"So what's the deal with your sister?"
Brian leans back on his lounger as I lean forward on mine and then knock back the tequila shot that's been sitting warming in the sun ever since my confrontation with 'Camila'
"The girls a loser but apparently she's a genius. Scored so high in middle school they transferred her to some school in California for 'gifted children'"
"That's why we haven't seen her before?"
"That and because I'm embarrassed by her, dude those stupid fucking braids and those coke bottle glasses..."
"She does kind of look like a reject from Revenge Of The Nerds" Laughs Brian and I have a sudden urge to punch him hard in his sunburnt face.
He wouldn't be laughing so hard if he'd seen how beautiful she looked in leather, on her knees between my thighs
"I don't know why the fuck she's home but the sooner she goes again the better because my parents lose their minds when she's around"
"How so?" I ask trying not to show too much interest but hanging off his every word as I pop a bottle of beer and take a large gulp
"They think she's the second coming, some holier than thou, pure princess, sent to save mankind... so she can think a bit faster than most people but the rest of it? It's utter bullshit and she plays up to it too, all 'yes mama, of course papa'"
'Yes daddy'... why does that sound different in my mind to it did coming out of her brothers mouth?
"Maybe you should invite her to hang with us this summer, maybe we could loosen her up" I don't look at Luiz when I say it, afraid he will see the hope in my eyes even through my shades
"No way, besides she's only back for another week, there's too much learning to do to give these special kids an entire Summer off"
One week?!
Seven more days and then Camila is gone?!
That means I'm going to have to work faster than I have ever worked before and harder than I ever worked before if I want to cut through the 'Karla' and find 'Camila' again
