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
CARLAIt felt nice shaking hands with Diego, making peace with him at last. Although we've been doing fine for some time now, It still didn't feel like we've officially accepted each other as friends. But now, I know we are.I drew my hand back from Diego, as we both looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to do next."Maybe I should leave you to get ready for tomorrow and...""No, " I said unexpectedly.That got Diego looking at me curiously, asking, "No?""I mean..." I didn't know what to use and back up my response. It just came out unexpectedly and now I'm kinda stuck."Don't you want to head back home? Or do you wish to stay with me for another month? " He asked, letting out his cunning smile.I felt my cheek burning red as I gave out a chuckle and said, " No, that's not why.""Oh, then why the No? " He asked, showing his curiousness. Diego's eagerness to hear my response left me feeling somehow pleased.Aside from my mother and my late father, no one else has ever giv
CARLA"Let me go!" I screamed out while laughing, refusing to give Diego the board. He had his arms around my waist, pulling me back with him while I struggled to move out from his grip."Accept it, Carla. I've won and you can't change it.""No! I refuse this!" I said, still standing my ground.Diego's hands came off my waist, grabbing the board at once. When I noticed this, I tightened my grip around the board, struggling with Diego."Carla!""Accept defeat and declare me the winner! That way peace can reign! " I groaned, trying hard to pull it off his hold."I clearly won the game. Why would I accept defeat? Don't tell me this is how you bully your professors into giving you marks.""What?!" I exclaimed out, losing my grip on the board, which Diego immediately took away from me, settling it on the bench to finish it up.He didn't even give me the chance to ruin it for him. Just a hand was enough to hold me back. "And that's that," Diego said, ending the game.I screamed out on s
CARLAMy heart skipped on hearing Diego's request.He wants me in bed with him?I didn't know what to say rather than stare back at the man before me as his eyes remained fixed on me, caressing my cheek.Even if I want to say something, what do I want to tell him?The silence between us felt like a soothing music streaming into my ears. My eyes still on Diego, who had his hands touching every part of me with desire.There's no need for him to repeat his words, because his body was already doing the talking.Again, he locked his lips with mine, holding me closely like his life depended on it.I didn't have a clear word to describe his behavior. All I felt was that Diego needed to have more of me before I head to my Mom's place."I guess he wants to have one more round with me then," I assumed, submitting myself to him for the last time.Diego lifted me off the couch in a bridal style, taking me up the stairs and into his room.When we where in, he carefully laid me down in bed, bringin
DIEGOThe moment I stepped right back into my car, I felt my heart go heavy.That got me turning over to find Carla still staring at my vehicle, until I wasn't able to see her any more."I hope she likes the dress," I gave a light curve to the side, sitting properly.RING! RING!! I heard my phone ringing from my pocket. I got it out, just to see it was my secretary on the line."What does she want?" I groaned, answering the call. "Talk to me.""Mr Smith, I was calling to know where you are.""Is there a problem?" My right brow levitated at her words."Well, not really, sir. I was just... You know, I was just concerned about you, and wanted to know if you're on your way to the office. As your secretary, it's my duty to check up on you.""This is just nine in the morning and you're acting like I'm some five years old. Did I hire you to monitor my every movement?" I questioned her, getting irritated by her nonsense attitude."I'm sorry sir.""You better be."With the annoyance growing
