The Billionaire I Want

Camilla “I’ll kiss you and you will be my fiancee” What? I roar “Act natural, I need this” “I’ll pay you a thousand dollars” But I don't-—— I almost finished my sentence when his soft lips landed on mine. The breath of freshness. This savory scent brushed past my nose. “What in the world—-” I raise my head to this handsome and perfect man with the billionaire scent….That scent. Damn! he's fine His well-tailored suit matched his chiseled face. His eyes...they have captivated me. The swirls of green amidst the light brown; they're beautiful and vaguely familiar. Who is he? I would swear I have seen him somewhere. Is he a model, an artist, a TV presenter, An Actor? Oh yeah, I have seen him on television. I try to wrap my head around the situation then his voice kicks me back to reality. “Smile, Wave” he pulls a fake smile. My face went from being impressed to dull one. I manage to smile and wave at a group of fine gentlemen sitting on the other side of the club and they reciprocate. Why? Fine men wearing Italian shoes with well-tailored coats bowing and giving me thumbs-up?Must be a dream. “Just act cool everything will be over soon “he whispers. I regain composure and beg to be excused. I need time to reevaluate whatever happened minutes ago. I shouldn't be on a princess trip kissing male “frogs “. Well, this ‘frog’ is a very cute one. “Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom” “Okay, my queen,” he says loudly to attract the attention of the gentlemen. They seemed satisfied with him seeing they smiled and gave him impressive hand gestures. I walk to the restroom staggering towards the mirror trying to see the look on my face. “Yesh” “What!” How did that happen? I need to pinch myself at this point to know if it's real. It must be the best feeling in the world. My countenance went down the next second as soon as I recall I was in trouble. A deep one why should I be sequealing in joy because I kissed a random fine dude? He must be famous. I’m sure he is but I have a lot of scores to settle at this point. I guess the feeling was great while it lasted. I turn to my purse to get my handkerchief so I can clean the drop of tear from my eye. I try to calm myself but end up weeping. This is a restroom and I have all the time to look at myself and wail. I reminisce about the kiss scene. It was lovely but this isn't the right time for it. My family is in shambles and I am here trying to have the time of my life. I came here to borrow money from the boss. I just want to help my family. The loan sharks took them. My brother is a mess because of it and I have to do something about it. “I need to” “No one would “. I dry my tears, say a few positive affirmations, and vow to make them proud. They sacrificed for me. From getting a loan to buying a house so that we would be comfortable, to selling it off so I could go to college. They have done everything for me. It’s time I take the risk to help them. I have watched them toil day and night at our coffee shop to put food on the table. Oh, the rent? The rent is almost due. My aunt Emilia has been helping out but I think she’s tired of us now. Are we just parasites or will everything be fine? I bury my face in my palm and sob. I regret buying myself those couple of drinks earlier. I know it wouldn’t have made a difference. I have paid our rent countless times with my singing gigs. Lisa helps too. I should call her. I’m sure she’s dying to hear about how the loan scenario with the boss went. She helped me pick a dress to impress him. She has been so optimistic and this has helped me a great deal. She will be glad it impressed someone else too. The next minute I will kick myself up, wash my face, and spray my perfume getting ready to face the world. I will call Lisa later but I need to meet the boss first. I heard he’s brutal and masked but this is my last option. He’s going to lend me the money and I will pay it back. Cheesy pessey right? I took one last look at my face and then my dress and admired it. Lisa did a great job. “No one will figure out I almost cried my eyes out a few minutes ago”.I assure myself The club was getting ready for the evening dance and the strippers were already on sight. Can I do that too? A few lessons with yoga here and there and I‘ll be fine I smiled for a moment. “If the conversations I have in my head can be dollars. I wouldn’t be here” I thought Mr Martins is already set for the evening buzz as I walk towards him. He looks so cool and calm. Who made that rumor? He’s sure the man of the hour. I heard he owns a chain of clubs in the country and he’s doing very well. He gives out loans to people and they pay with interest. I also heard that people who don’t pay back either end up working for him or getting killed. Killed? This sends a cold shiver down my spine. I struggle to kick out the thought of that. I mean I could dance? Or sing? But I’ll pay the money back. My family will pay the money back. Ready to approach him, a security personnel taps me. “Hey, My boss wants me to see you “ “You better act nice and sweet to him” “You are his fiancée” “Why” I swallowed I follow him quietly. This man is almost 7 feet tall and he is huge. With a muscular body like this,he can lift me and throw me where he wants. My eyes met his. The man who almost blew me away with a kiss.This man.That man.The same f*****g man. I tried to hide behind the security. I was too shy to meet him. He isn’t my first kiss but there’s something special about that kiss. A kiss amid crises? That’s a special one “What does he want” I muttered under my breath. He signals his security to bring me over to his table. Mr Martin was already getting close to others and he hates to be disturbed. Well, I’ll meet with the “television guy”.His security looks scary and Mr. Martins is busy at the moment. I’ll probably meet him tomorrow. He has my thousand dollars anyway. I was too confused to ask at first but if he’s making me lose the chance of getting this loan, I should at least go home with a thousand bucks. Is this another scene we are shooting? It better be at the Oscars.
