CARLA"Was that really Diego?" I stared at my phone after the call ended, trying to know if the man I just spoke to was the same person that has been arguing with me all these time.I felt my body still shivering from the conversation. I wasn't expecting a soft tone from him.When I first saw his call, my heart skipped in fear, wondering what must have prompted him to contact me out of the blue.I had to move away from Pedro and his friends to answer the call. All fired up to lash out at him if he was calling to start any argument. But when I heard his request, my heart melted."His voice, " I pointed out with a smile engulfing me slowly."It's been long I heard that tone."My hand came caressing my cheek, feeling happy to hear his soothing voice."But he wants to see me tonight. I hope it's to settle the argument than adding to it?"I felt worried about tonight's meeting."If he's going to argue about Pedro and I, then I'll have to be ready for him," I decided.My mind going to last
CARLAMy eyes fixed on the man standing next to the well decorated table.His face engulfing with a smile, as he slowly made his way towards me. I felt a sudden wave in my heart while staring at Diego. It made me wonder if this was indeed the man that called me over."He's looking weird," I pointed out."I hope that smile remains on him?"Same with me, I began making my way towards Diego.He was at the other side of the pool walking in unity with my steps.Our eyes met, sending a glow across my face, with my eyes leaving his view.I had to compose my behavior, reminding myself why I was here."He wants to talk. I wonder what he wants to say," I muttered to myself.Once Diego and I came standing before each other, we were silent. None of us could utter a word but look at each other in an awkward manner."So..." I started, lifting my gaze at Diego slowly."You said you wanted to see me?" I reminded, bringing up the main topic.His face brightening up after hearing my words. He gave a s
CARLAMy eyes shut, patiently waiting for Diego.I felt his lips touching and caressing my forehead with a kiss. It's been long I felt that.I smiled, feeling his lips trail down from my head to my cheek. He planted another kiss there, leaving my heart fluttering with pleasure.I could still feel it trailing down to my neck, taking my memory to all those times when we were together alone, with no one to interrupt us while we got intimate. That was the feeling rising in me, as I waited for his kisses.He kissed my neck beautifully, slowly trailing it up, making its way to my lips.I felt my heart racing as I anticipated on his next move, craving to feel his lips on mine.As I waited, I heard my own voice speak to me from my mind."What are you doing, Carla? Diego is going to be your brother. You have a boyfriend!"That jolted me out of pleasure, sending my eyes opened.Diego looked with questions written all over his face. But I didn't want to give an answer. I made an attempt to pu
CARLAI was still upset with Pedro for what he said about Diego.Despite the fact that I told him what I know, he still insisted that Diego was planning something against us.This took my mind to Diego and when he refused to be friends with Pedro again, but make peace with me only."Now how is that person planning something against us? He was being truthful, and Pedro says he's pretending," I groaned, sitting in the class with my arms crossed. Some of my classmates noticed my mood and came asking if all was fine."We noticed you walking out on Pedro. Did he upset you?""Oh no. It's just something else," I lied, putting on a fake smile. But they took this topic of my relationship with Pedro, saying some things I didn't want to hear."Could it be that he's jealous of your brother's car? It's the latest and most expensive vehicle in the world.""I smell jealousy, Carla. Just talk to Pedro and make him calm.""I will, " I grinned fakingly, trying to take out their words from my head.Th
PEDROWhen did Carla and Diego become close again?How did I allow this?I've been troubled ever since I saw Carla in Diego's car, entering the school.It bothered me to the point of almost fighting with her.Although she picked an offense with my word, when I tried to make her believe Diego wasn't good.She just changed her attitude towards me because of him!I tried many ways to get her attention. It was by luck I showed up when Jessica tried to start a fight with her.That was a breakthrough in the argument.Even when Carla forgave me and told me about Diego's plans to take her out, I was also coming up with another plan to take her away from school before Diego would arrive. But that jackass was swift. He showed up the moment school was over.Carla didn't even bother looking at me when she got a call. It was clear that he was the one that had called her.I saw her racing for the gate, and I had no choice but to follow from behind, not too close. When Carla got outside the gate,
PEDRO"Why isn't she answering me?"This was seven in the evening, and I've been trying to call Carla for more than an hour.Her phone has been ringing but she's not answering her calls."Is she still out with Diego?" I wondered, having full suspicion about it.I kept on calling but nothing.I reached out to her mother and she didn't have a clue on where Carla and Doego could be."I'm sure they are fine," She said, believing in them.This got me mad, sending my phone flying right at the wall."I shouldn't have allowed her to go with him. Where did he take her to? Maybe he's feeding her with words that'll keep her away from me, " I believed, knowing the kind of person Diego was.Being the most richest young Billionaire in the world, Diego is also a naughty man that loves to have crazy fun when he feels like it. We both became friends a long time ago during one of Mr Smith's party. I came along with my father, and that was how I met Diego. We both discovered we had similarities in som
DIEGOIf I hadn't called Carla, I wouldn't have known the plans Pedro made for her.I also wanted us to head out together, and catch up with all the times we missed, but I arrived at her home to learn from Mrs Parker that Pedro picked her up. That got me reaching out to Carla, who in return, shared Pedro's outing plans."The movies? It's been long I went to that. I'll join you guys," I had said.Carla didn't sound that okay with the idea, but I had already made my mind. And I am so glad that I showed up just in time to ruin Pedro's moment.I had Carla in my hold while entering the movie room with our refreshments.I took a glance at Pedro, who was following us from behind.His face swelled with anger, watching Carla and I. When we got into the room, set to take our seat right at the back, I immediately blocked Pedro from getting closer to Carla. I could see right through his moves. He wanted to seat next to her.But I made sure I sat in-between, preventing Pedro from being closer
DIEGOIt's easier said than done.I've been unable to take Carla out of my mind after that day at the movies.My love for her was beginning to drive me nuts.I found myself unable to focus fully on my work. All I could think of was Carla."Mr Smith? Sir!"I heard someone call out to me, snapping me out of my thoughts.I lifted my gaze to meet my staffs looking at me in confusion."Yes?" I responded, glancing at every faces present there."You didn't say anything about the presentation. We have been calling out to you but you seem to be lost in thoughts.""Is everything okay, sir?"They asked, staring at me with concern."Yes, everything is fine. I was... Well I was thinking about something work... Related, " I lied, clearing my throat while sitting up right."Oh, okay sir.""Let's proceed with the meeting," I said, pointing at my staff who was hosting the presentation.They all resumed with the assignment while I found myself still feeling upset about my own personal situation.Every
