Finding yourself part 11

##Cleon##

She keeps playing with me. I was about to fly to wherever she was until I see her coming with Japess. She loves playing games.

Carla: Cleon is Josie dying?

Josie married me and Satphire grandson, Floyd, why was she bringing others into this? Naw this is about us

Cleon: Carla how long have you liked me?

Carla: Bye...

She said turning to leave. Girls are so...

Cleon: I swear to God Carla I will burn this entire planet to the ground if we don't have this conversation, stop playing with me.

Carla: Why are you so aggressive

She said smirking

Cleon: I don't know you just bring something different out of me. I'm trained to mask my emotion but with you, I don't know, I can't, ugh it's aggravating. Tell me how long Carla?

Carla: You should try to get more conversation starters with your wife?

Cleon: I wish you'd say what you mean

I walked closer to ask again. I touch her hand and she pulled them away from me.

Carla: I could smell her on you.

Cleon: That's a f*cking lie I haven't touched her in that way. I stayed true to you.

Carla: No, you didn't. You had me spare her life. You chose her that's where you should be, by her side.

Cleon: Sigh, Stop. I know you dealt with little boys but am built differently. How long till you wrap up things here?

She looked away poking out her lips. I gently turn her face to me looked her in her eyes and ask again

Cleon: How long?

Carla: 4 days

Cleon: You mean 2 days?

She laughed.

Carla: I meant what I said 4

Cleon: Fine, I'll be home. See you later.

Carla: Fine.

I portal out.

##Carla##

I saw Cleon so intense. It's so attractive. He demands commitment, usually, I would beg Johny for it. It's refreshing. He came back untainted guess he picked me. I did make him wait half the day hoping he would have left Haha he stayed faithful to his plan. His attractive to me. I love how I could control his aggressiveness. Am going back today who knows what he got going on.

Japess: Empress you ready

Carla: Yeah

We portal from new earth's courtroom over to Sunrise kingdom to my room. I took a shower and waited for him to barge in here like he's the only one who's feeling is involved here. It's been hours and he has never come inside my room, why isn't he here yet? I want to be in his arm already!

##Cleon##

I'll have to get my own place. It isn't right living off a woman. I found myself a house with 2 rooms, I don't need more than that. It was nighttime. She should be back by now. I flew to the castle. I was starving so I got some food. I made it to her room with popcorn I was ready for a movie. When I got in, she looked pist. Dam I didn't even do anything

Carla: Don't just stroll in here?

Cleon: Right...

I said grabbing the remote handing it to her.

Carla: I don't want to watch a movie

Cleon: What do you want to do?

Carla: Not a movie

Cleon: Am not having sex tonight, Carla

Carla: No one wants that

Cleon: Sigh you are being difficult for no reason. Do you want some snacks?

Carla: Why are you here?

Cleon: Whatchu mean?

Carla: You left with her, so why not stay where you were?

Cleon: I know your pist, let me tell you why you shouldn't be?

Carla: This will be dumb, go head

Cleon: I know you Carla, your not a murderer and will never be if I can help it.

I sat on the chair waiting for her to pick the movie. She turns around and went to sleep. So rude

##Carla##

This morning felt so warm. I couldn't wait to get dressed. He's probably downstairs eating cereal. I rushed downstairs to find Cleon and Johny arguing

##Cleon##

I could feel Johny's anger "Oh lord Here we go." He pulled up in his car highly upset. Japess stopped him from coming into the castle

Japess: You got malicious intent you will not pass.

They surround him in an instant creating a wall.

Johny: How Could you! With her? Cleon, her? You know she's off-limits.

Satphire told him!

Johny: You can have anyone else, not Her!

I didn't say anything he kept rambling on

Johny: You know I was trying to get with her. You know how much she means to me. I was working on getting her back.

His eyes shift behind me, I turn to see Carla standing there looking amazing. She had her flip-flops on with a long sundress.

Johny: You! You knew better.

What is he talking about?

Johny: You don't F*ck the homie, Carla! There should be a punishment for this.

She looked so ashamed. Why was he making a scene?

Johny: You just let anyone hit now don't you... Cleon?

Cleon: Johny go home

Johny: Break up with her right now Cleon. If you value this brotherhood, you will end it, right now

I didn't say anything, I let him vent off his feeling.

Johny: Alright I get it. Let me ask you this, she worth it?

I heard shocking sounds in my back, I guess that struck a nerve. Asking me "if she worth it" like she's some random. I've seen him break her down, leave her heart stranded, she fought so hard to put herself back together every time. She cares for everyone; she threatens about killing but she's so gentle. She has a wall up because of people like him. Even now his belittling her

Johny: Is she Cleon? Answer me! Is she worth losing me as your brother? Because that's what's going to happen if you don't end it.

Cleon: She's worth more than you can fathom

##Carla##

Johny: Is she worth it

I felt my breath leaving my body, I wasn't sure what Cleon was going to say. Johny met him as a stray and took him in as a brother. Because of Johny, he gained a title, He had no family He only had Johny. I didn't mean for this to happen. I shouldn't have messed with Cleon... It kind of happened...

Cleon: She's worth more than you can fathom.

That made my heart jump. Did he end his relationship with Johny for me? I've never had someone give up so much for me before. It's always the other way around. He looked so manly declaring he cares for me. I always had to find ways to keep Johny from choosing someone else over me. I close my mouth more, learned how to talk softer to avoid him getting disrespected. I've loved him with everything within me, still, he questions my worth?? Aggravation, anger, hurt, caused my legs to fail me to the ground as my tears revealed years of mistreatment.

##Cleon##

He broke her heart for the last time. I bend over to her.

Cleon: You, okay?

She wiped her tears. She looks so broken; Dam I'll fix it. I swear I will!

Cleon: Do you want breakfast?

Carla: Um yeah.

We ate in silence, after a while Johny left. She looked so sad. I swear that guy is so stupid.

Carla: I... got to go. See you later?

Cleon: Sure

She portal out. I went to see about the property. I had to get furniture. I liked Yellow and white. I spend my day painting the living room. It had to be perfect. My stomach kept growling I figured I should get some food. I flew to the castle. Went to take a shower to proceed to the dining room. She was sitting there lost in thought. Glass full of brown liquor.

Cleon: Hey

Carla: Hi

She looked apologetic.

Carla: What have you been up to?

Cleon: Bought me a house

Carla: Hmm

I could see the fear in her eyes, fear that during this little time apart I'll realize she's not worth it

Cleon: It's wrong to take from you, babe. I want my own. Am not trying to offend you but I want to offer more than movies.

She looked more relaxed now that I called her babe, letting her know I haven't changed my mind. I kissed her head while grabbing a bowl.

Carla: How far is your place from here?

She said with less worry now

Cleon: Towards the south side

Carla: I have lands there; I could have given you...

Cleon: I only want what I work for. I'll let you know when I want...

She smiled at my comment understanding the sexual joke behind my words.

Cleon: Am painting it now.

Carla: When do I get to see it?

Cleon: Right now, if you like.

Carla: Haha you should eat your stomach is growling loudly.

She said heading upstairs. She had on pink bunny slippers, Booty shorts, and a Brah. Her curves were so outlandish, when she turns the booty shorts couldn't cover all her *ss, all her dimples, there for me to see. I haven't touched her so I could focus on what I needed to do. If I start having her again, I won't want to stop. But dam it! it's hard not having her, but the place is almost done. Next is getting a legitimate business to get some income in. After that, I'll exhaust her every chance I get. I ate then went to bed. The next day I went to the newly bought house to continue painting. The day wasted fast, I still felt like I haven't covered enough. I heard footsteps coming towards the new house. Naturally, I went outside to check. Carla and Grand steering towards me with buckets and rollers for painting. I love how she is so family-oriented

Carla: Hey there, need some help?

Cleon: Hey bud you came to help out?

Grand: Yup, I even got my own roller.

Carla: Don't worry I'll make sure he doesn't screw up.

Cleon: Let him screw up, the place needs personal touches.

The boy smiled brightly at my words. Carla had on camouflage sweats and a black T-shirt. She took her earthly form. Her black curls with brown highlights always had me intrigued. Thank God everything was covered, am trying to focus. Carla wasn't lazy she did her assigned room to perfection; she use tape to avoid the different paint from touching each other. Grand was responsible for the closet Haha he was more than happy to paint. We've been going hard at it for a couple of hours now, I think I should feed them. I walked into Carla's room first. She nearly finished. Haha even when she agreed to help me out in the restaurant, she did her best. That's admirable.

Cleon: Let's get some food.

Carla: Alright. Where did Grand go?

Cleon: He's doing the closet.

She walked to the small closet where the boy had the paint all over him. Hahaha at least he finished

Grand: Am done. I won

Carla: Alright, but this isn't over.

She said tickling him near his ribcage, the boy rolled on the floor laughing.

Carla: Let's have an eating contest!? I have to win my pride back

Grand: You're on! Cleon, will you be the referee? Mommy likes to cheat

She busts out laughing in embarrassment

Carla: Shhhh

Grand: It's true.

Cleon: Haha, you got it, little guy.

I brought them to a restaurant nearby. Walking to our destination. We saw several humans with drilling tools heading towards Carla's training area.

Carla: They are going to get some gold.

Cleon: You allow that?

Carla: Yes, everyone should have access to riches. Plus, the mountain is hard as heck to break. One mountain takes me 3 days to break. Haha it's been months, they still haven't put a dent in it

Cleon: So, it's like the guys who work the mine?

Carla: Yup, but it's hard work.

She winked at me Haha she's funny. With my powers, I should be able to get some gold, not an entire mountain but some. It's nature, it's not her giving me anything guess I'll allow it. We reached the small restaurant with menus displayed in front of the cashier. Carla and Grand order 20 wings each, this is going to be funny. We stand in line to pay, the guys in front of us and behind us kept getting on my nerves. "Man, I've never seen a mortal this hot" the blond hair one, said. His partner replied, "Do you think she got a boyfriend?"

Cleon: Hey, yall could pick a table. I'll be right over.

I've never been the jealous type but with Carla, it's hard not to be. With Satphire they would complement her beauty Until she opens her mouth, Haha she is very rude, Haha but Carla is a people person, And I don't need no guy to even attempt. She's mine. I finish paying and they hand me the food, walking back. Guys surrounded Carla and Grand like gnats. Seriously!

I walked faster, reaching the table.

Guy: My your pretty

Carla: Um thanks... Am trying to spend some time with my son, so, can yall leave, please?

Cleon: LEAVE!

I roared. They ran like cowards. But that blonde buff guy said.

Guy: Wait. Do you have a boyfriend?

She looked at me

Carla: Um Good question, Do I have a boyfriend?

Is she serious? Obviously!

Cleon: Yes, she has a boyfriend. Bye!

Guy: You should relax shrimp

Did he just call me seafood? That's very disrespectful. I was going to respond but Grand and Carla started to laugh uncontrollably.

Grand: He called you a shrimp Haha His. so. not. a shrimp

He said Slapping the table laughing. Awes Am glad he thought it was hilarious. Carla turned red from my unusual jealous nature. I didn't mean to, it's just; there are so many girls here why are they only noticing Carla? We ate, Laughed, talk and Carla decided it was time to bring the little guy home. We flew him home. He wanted to ride on my neck, so I let him.

Carla: Baby don't forget your dad is picking you up tomorrow for school break

Grand: Yes mother. Have a good night, Sir Cleon.

He waived as Japess came to take him inside. She turned to me.

Carla: I have a boyfriend now huh?

Haha she's such a tease, she knows am serious about her

Cleon: Yeah

Carla: Dang I wonder if it's that big muscle guy?

She laughed

Cleon: Keep on Ms. Brown

That made her laugh more.

Carla: Ready to go finish the house?

Cleon: Oh, I thought you were staying in?

Carla: No way. Let's go

She flew to the house leading the way. I followed. She went to her room to finish. Together we finished painting the whole house.

Carla: It looks good.

Cleon: Yeah, I think so. So tomorrow I can get furniture and stuff.

Carla: Okay

She was putting her shoes back on so we could leave. I felt driven to say

Cleon: You know what That moron said isn't true?

Her smile fade, her behavior changed to sadness

Carla: As long as you don't think I go around sleeping with random individuals.

Cleon: Haha You're a good woman Carla, someone should take care of your heart. Let me be that one. Carla, I don't mind working to get your heart. That's my goal.

Carla: Are you...

Cleon: Yes, I want us to be something and not just sex buddies. Let's do it at 100 percent. You down?

She smiled. than responded

Carla: Yeah, I'll rock with you.

Haha, I couldn't be happier.
