Chapter 2
|¦ I'm still inlove with her ¦|

"I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible"
-When Harry Met Sally

Sweat dripping, People grinding into one another, swaying their hips on every beat of the music. Every night at his club, he would watch them, observe them. He would stood there blending on the darkness on the shadow of the night as he would sip on his whiskey or would blow on his cigarettes he always kept on his pocket.

Women would tease him from a far but he never touched them nor like them. His heart is just stuck to a beautiful woman, his amore.

Five years, not five months, not five weeks, not five days but Five years since he last saw her, her sapphire eyes, her pouty lips that always curved up into a smile.

He missed her.

If he could turn back time and rewrite everything, she would be with him. Her arms would be on his neck and his arms would be on her waist as they swayed in every beat of music the DJ plays.

He felt anger. Anger to his younger self. How could he do it to her. He would always asked himself while taking another gulp of his cold whiskey.

He always wondered where is she right now. He tried to find her but would always fail. He even hired the private investigators to find her. He tried to make actions to find her himself. If you would ask him what he wants. One word but a billion of meaning it means to him.

Camilla.

Just Camilla. Just her. He always plead. He wasn't Religious but every night before going to bed he started praying to God after she left to give her back on his arms, to feel her warmth against his.

"I know I would find you here"

A voice snapped him out of his clouds of thoughts. A guy in red velvet tux made his way to him with his lit up cigar in between his fingers.

"Still sulking Atticus" He smirked at the state of his friend. Just like every night.

"Shut the fuck up Alex" He spat out at him making Alex surrender his hands on air "Why don't you whore around and stop bothering me"

"Ouch" He playfully placed his palm on his chest, trying to fake a heartbreak. "I thought you are my bestie, we should be hanging out"

"What if I hang you"

He looked at Alex in a serious tone trying to see if it scared him which indeed scared him as he immediately walked of the room proceeding to get a lap dance from one of the strippers sexually dancing on stage filled with money.

.....

He sat in his bedroom mattress, leaning on the headboard of his bed, the duvet rolled up onto his shirtless torso. Reading glasses at the bridge of his nose as he read the bible and a rosary on the other hand.

Ever since she left. He prayed, every night. It was his night routine. He never gave up about praying to God to give her back to him. Before going to bed he would pray with the rosary. Praying that her amore is safe, and would lead her path to him.

"Por favor, devuélveme a Camilla, de vuelta en mis brazos" He whispered in his mother tongue "en el nombre del padre, del hijo y del espíritu santo, amén"

(Please bring Camilla back to me, back in my arms)

He carefully placed his pocket bible on his night stand table drawer and did the same thing with his red rosary. He closed his reading glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.

He nuzzle his head on his bolster that smelled the scent of her. He would spray the perfume that she used to use on his pillows so it would still smell like her. It makes him fall asleep and makes him think that he slept on her arms.

As he was about to fall into deep slumber, his phone suddenly rang. He decided to ignore it but it kept ringing for a few more times. With plans of murder to whoever called, he got up and answered his ringing phone.

"You better hide before I kill you" He answered the phone.

'Wow, Good evening to you Atticus' The familiar voice on the side of the phone chuckled shakily.

"Alex what do you want"

'Atty-

"ALEX" His voice now higher warning him not to mention the stupid nickname again.

'Best friend, you remember Dad, he got a new partnership with the GC corp. supposedly dad will have a meeting with the CEO next Monday but he's currently sick so he can't attend, so will you accompany me?'

He sighed, rubbing his forehead slightly, still thinking if he should join his friend since he himself have a tight schedule

"I don't know-

'Por favor, Atticus' He pleaded

"Fine"

'Yay thank you, you're the best-

Before Alex can finish his words, Atticus had hung up on him, tired of his daily ramble but even Alex is supper annoying to him he trusts him with his whole life and love him and will protect him like a brother.

He got back cuddling his pillow smelled like his amore. "Good night mi amore, I love you so much" He murmured every night. He slowly closed his eyes as he fell into deep peaceful sleep he craved.
