BETWEEN DUTY AND DESIRE

DIFFICULT DECISION: JOURNEY THROUGH PASSION

The night seemed so long for Detective Andre that he could not sleep. His eyes were closed, but all he did was roll on the bed for the most part of the night. He could not help but to wake up. He paced the room up and down. This was going to be the hardest mission he would be handling in his career in the Bureau of narcotics. He picked up the file containing the information of Senator Kane and began to go through it.

According to the information gathered by the bureau, Senator Kane’s drug syndicate is so large that it extends to Italy, Tokyo and the deadliest syndicate that had terrorized people in Mexico. Back in Mexico, Senator Kane’s drug cartel were responsible for over 400 deaths. The victims were perceived to be informants to the police, or anyone working in the factory, that seemed to them a threat.

While searching for more details in the files, he heard a knock on the door. “Who could it be?” he thought. He quickly picked up his pistol and went close to door. “Who is there?” he inquired.

“Viola,” a voice replied.

He couldn’t believe his ears. Like what the hell! “Which Viola, precisely?”

“Such ridiculous question. Your Viola precisely,” The voice responded with a sign of irritation.

Was he dreaming? “Viola!” “What are you doing here?” Andre started feeling uneasy, scared and even angry at the same time. It was a mixed feeling. “Goodness. What are you doing here Viola?”

“You are unbelievable Andre. Are you going to open the door of you’re going to ask me all these questions while I’m out here in the cold?”

“Are you alone” he asked?

“Of course I’m alone Andre.”

Andre swung open the door and dragged her in, in such a way that seemed scary and violent; shut the door immediately and locked it.

“What is wrong with you? You’re acting weird. And why do you choose to come and stay here, in this boring neighborhood with barely nothing in your room?

“What are you doing here Viola? Because I don’t remember inviting you here. Wait… how did you even know that I’m here? Because I haven’t told anyone that I’m here.”

“Slow down with the questions babe. I came to see my boyfriend. I mean, what is the crime in that Andre?” Viola said almost teary.

Andre drew closer to her and hugged her so tight. “I’m sorry babe,” he said in a very subtle manner. “I’ve missed you so much. But how did you get here? I mean, I never told anyone about thus place.”

Viola sighed. “Okay…fine. I went to your office and asked of your whereabouts, since I couldn’t reach you, but nobody told me. Well, one man, possibly in his late fifties, walked up to me when I was about leaving and gave me this address.” Satisfied?

“Damn it,” he snapped. I knew the likes of him would be responsible for something like this. He’s trying to jeopardize my…”

“Your what?” Viola inquired looking uneasy, but Andre kept mute. “Your what Andre? You’re scaring me.

“Listen,” he said. “You cannot tell this to anyone, alright. I ugh…I’m on a mission here, and it’ll be too dangerous for you to come here. I’m not sure what is going to happen, even now that you’re here.”

“What mission?”

“I’m sorry I can’t tell you that. But now you have to listen to me very carefully. My mission would be jeopardized if anyone realizes that you’re my girl. My mission would be in jeopardy. It’s dangerous, trust me.”

“Okay calm down babe,” Viola said softly. “First of all, I’m your girlfriend. I cannot be a problem to your…whatever it is that you’re out here to do.”

“Are you even listening to anything I’m saying?” Andre snapped angrily. “This mission is dangerous. I don’t even want them to know anyone related to me, cos it’s going to put you in harm’s way. You have to stay away from me, as far as possible. Until this is over, we don’t know each other.”

“Why is this mission so important to you Andre,” Viola confronted him. “I mean if it’s so dangerous as you said, why do you have to do it? Why not just quit already? It doesn’t have to be you babe.”

“Here we go again. You think it’s that easy? This is my job. It’s what I was born to do. If I don’t do it, who will?” he barked as he leaves the living room into the kitchen. Viola followed him into the kitchen.

“Andre, if you don’t do it, they’ll ask someone else to do it. Besides, your deputy director said it was his mission.”

He couldn’t believe his ears. “is that what this whole thing is all about?” he asked in disbelieve.

“Talking me out of the mission so the deputy director can take over? Let me get this, did he send you hear? Because I honestly think that is what you’ve come here to do.”

“He did not send me. I can’t even believe you right now. Besides, it’s not as though you have more experience than him.”

“Wow! Wow! Wow!” Andre exclaimed. He could not find the right words to say anymore. You know what, I’m going to pretend that we ever had this conversation. It is late, so I can’t ask you to leave. You leave at dawn, at exactly 5:00am sharp. Like I said earlier, from this day onwards, we don’t know each other, until this is done. Now before you came, I was busy. Now I need to get back to work. You can sleep when you’re ready.” He said with an air of finality, as he walked back into the living room.

“Andre,” Viola called. “If you continue with this mission, I’m going to break up with you.”

Andre turned and looked at her in disbelieve. “You’ve always been insensitive, but I never knew you are also petty. You want to break up with me because I choose to do my duty?

"No," she said firmly. "I'll break up with you because you're selfish and your decisions are suicidal. You care only about yourself Andre. What about me; what I'd something happens to you?" At this point, tears was already flowing down her tender cheeks.

Andre walked to her and held her, looking at her in a soft manner. He drew her to himself and hugged her so tight. He released her a bit, with her body still clung to himself and wiped her tears with his hands. She raised her eyes and saw him looking at her in the eyes. He kissed her passionately and said lustfully, "I've missed you babe. I've missed you so much.

She was about to say the same before she felf his hands rubbing against her lap. This made her to gasp in pleasure. He kissed her so passionately with one hand holding her lap and the other keeping her head closer. Her hands travel down swiftly to unzip his pants, but he grapped the hand immediately and shove it behind her her, rendering her helpless and at his mercy. Andre carried her with his large arms and take her to bed. He lay her down and left her to go play music on his MP3. He came back to find her standing. The figure he saw looked like Eve, in the garden of Eden. He reached for her breasts and caress it like he had never done before. He knew she wanted more, but he wanted to take her on that journey of romance till the moon is full and the flowers are bloom.

When he saw that she was completely consumed and helpless, he undressed himself and the next second he was inside her. She moaned at the pleasure, that the only thing on her lips was, "Andre". She whispered his name over and over again.

"You know I love you Viola," Andre said so passionately. "I just don't want anything to happen to you. That is why you must stay away from me until my assignment is complete, and I've brought Senators Kane to justice."

"You're not doing a great job with this story right now Andre," she said. Andre became angry and pounced on her to prove her wrong. Well, you can tell that she wanted him wild.
