Tempted By Your Touch. Chapter 21
DIEGOEvening finally came. I stepped out of my room heading for the dining, only to find the room empty of Carla.I assumed she was still in her bedroom, getting ready to join me for dinner, but she didn't step out for fifteen minutes after my arrival."Have you called her?" I asked one of the maids that stood next to me.She looked towards the entrance, responding to my question, " I did call her, Sir. But she said she's not hungry.""Not hungry?""Yes sir," She answered.It was obvious that Carla was doing this just to ignore me, all because of what I said in the morning.With a sigh, I got off my seat and exited the dining room to meet her.I was about making my way up the stairs when I spotted Carla, near the living room, heading into another path."She was there all these time?" I carefully distanced myself from the stairs, going after Carla to speak to her."Yes, I made her upset with my words, but it doesn't mean she'd pass that anger to her meal," I groaned, following her fro

CARLA"I'll have the chicken specialty and chips," I placed my order while handing the menu back to the waiter at the outdoor eatery."Sure. I'll get that ready for you," He assured me before walking away.I sat comfortably on my stool, looking at other customers, who were attended to by other waiters, before taking my attention right behind to look for Diego.His car was gone, meaning he left already."I bet he has gone to the fancy eatery of his choice," I scoffed, rolling my eyes while facing forward."Does he think everything that doesn't appear fancy means low class? What an asshole."I had my arms crossed while waiting for my order. My eyes kept going to the same spot on the road, where Diego's car had parked earlier.I was beginning to feel lonely."All he had to do was say Yes and join me. Why do I care anyways? When he's done with his fancy meal, he better come and get me," I groaned, feeling upset with Diego.Just when I turned over to face my table, my entire body came shiv

DIEGOThe moment I held her by the arms, that same tingling vibe I always get around her, came streaming into my body.I felt my body shiver when she looked at me into the eyes. Those innocent blue eyes shimmered in the dark like diamond.My lips slowly came open as she asked, "Sorry for doing your brotherly duty?."I know it sounded weird but I wanted her to understand me."Em, well..." My hands came off her, reaching for the back of my neck."What I meant was that... I... Damn," I groaned at my inability to speak properly before Carla.This isn't like me. I know how I'd speak especially in front of her, but now it's totally different.I saw how she stared at me confusingly, and I didn't want her seeing me as a weirdo.That's not who I am.I cleared my throat and said with seriousness all over my face, " Look, since you're going to be my sister, I feel it's best if I take my time and carry out my role as your brother, so you won't end up regretting later on."I managed to drop my gaz

DIEGOI recognize Pedro's number anywhere. This is actually his second line which he rarely uses.It was clear that Carla doesn't have it."She must have blocked the other line so he can't reach her. Now he's using this to contact her," I viewed, staring at his number as it kept calling Carla's phone.The sight of this took my mind to our encounter at my office.The words he brought out from his mouth, claiming he still loves Carla, after everything he did to her.But that word Love coming from Pedro..."I want to forget about him," Carla's hurtful tone came into me, reminding me of the day she was in pain because of that asshole."He's stupid if he thinks I'll allow him back into her life after what he has done," I groaned.Hearing it ring the second time, I immediately declined the call and blocked Pedro's number from reaching Carla again."I've made a promise to keep you away from Carla, and I'll stick to that," I vowed, heading to my room.The next morning, I was standing next to

DIEGO"What? But why? " Carla questioned me.From her face expression, I could tell she didn't look pleased with my decision.But I don't want her knowing the reason behind it. I want her to be safe with me."Just tell me you're joking, Diego. I don't miss school activities like that. It's just not me.""I can understand you, Carla. But I've made my decision. You won't be going to school.""Why? " She asked once again, making an attempt to pull her hands out of my hold, but I didn't allow her."If I tell her about Pedro, she might get uncomfortable and still prove stubborn with me. I'll think of something," I viewed, thinking of what to tell Carla, and just in the nick of time, the heavens blessed me with an idea."So? " Carla asked, lifting her brow at me.With a curv to the lips, I said while loosing my grip on her gently, "I made that decision because we have a lot of work to attend to. And it's something I can't do by myself, since I won't be the only one having a new family membe

CARLA"Let's start with this," I said, taking out one of my textbooks and placing it right on Diego's table.We just stepped in after arriving, and I didn't hesitate to get down to business."My professor is meant to teach this topic today. Since I won't be attending his lecture, you will be the one to do that," I said, sitting on the opposite seat, crossing my legs.When I looked at Diego, his eyes were shrunk at me, with his chin resting on the back of his hands."So? Let's begin.""You must be kidding me.""I ain't kidding, my dear brother. I mean what I'm saying," I smirked, taking out all my books and placing it on his table. His eyes grew large on seeing the number of books I got out from my bag. "Why surprised? Don't tell me you haven't seen such number when you where still in school?""Not this kind! It's like you packed a whole library in that sack of yours," He groaned, rising to his feet."Where are you going to?" I asked, rising to my feet as well, on seeing him making hi

DIEGO"Once that is achieved, the business would shoot sky high," I said, clicking the next slide, showing them a diagram on the screen.The meeting slowly drew to an end, with me passing out different tasks to my top staffs with the deadline. "It should be done before the actual date. Meeting is over." I turned off the slide, with all top staffs rising to their feet. I didn't use an hour like I had planned for the meeting earlier.Just thirty minutes, brief explanations, and we're done."Carla, " My mind went to that naughty soon to be sister of mine.Our moment was ruined by that annoying secretary.If Carla hadn't suggested I attend the meeting, I bet I would have postponed this meeting to a different day.I'm glad I listened to her. And now... "She must be bored. I should hurry up and see her, " I decided. I immediately left the room before my staffs, hurrying down to my office to meet Carla. At that point, I could feel that burning desire that came dimming down because of m

DIEGO"Already?" I asked, dropping my eyes on Mrs Parker, who held Carla's hand."Do you want another extra month?" She chuckled at me, with father joining in.I smirked, answering, "Hell no. A week alone is like hell with her.""Same here! Even a day is like prison!" Carla said out, acting like she wants to throw up.That got both my father and Mrs Parker laughing. I had to join in, even though I wasn't feeling that good about the decision."It's fine if she heads back home with you. In fact, I'll have peace of mind," I said, looking at Carla.She dimmed her eyes at me, while I teased her."Oh, goodness. I feel so tired. I could use some rest right now," Mrs Parker said, stretching out her arms.When I heard her, an idea came to my mind."You both just came back from a long trip. How about you rest here for today and you can head back home tomorrow with Carla. At least you'd be strong enough to leave without looking sleepy, " I suggested to them.I could tell Mrs Parker was going to
