Tempted By Your Touch. Chapter 50
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

DIEGOI remained sitted with my eyes straight at the door, patiently waiting for Pedro to step in."If I had a weapon, I'll send it right through him. Come on Diego, just pull yourself together."I sighed over my thoughts, taking my gaze off the door. The moment I did that, my door came open. That sent me taking my attention back at the door, just to see Pedro stepping in with a smirk across his face. "Diego, my best buddy.""What are you doing here?" I questioned, rising to my feet."Oh come on, Diego. That's not how to greet your further brother in law. A what's up would have been better."He grinned once again, shutting the door behind him while stepping in fully.His face alone was beginning to irritate me. In fact, everything about him was irritating.I glared at the statement he had made, of me being his future brother in law. He's mad if he thinks I'll consider him as such.I watched Pedro's arms come out spread, saying, "How about a bro hug like old times?"My brow came li

DIEGO"He knows now. That bastard knows!" I paced about in my office, unable to let go of the argument between Pedro and I."I will kill him if he does anything funny. He won't like me when..." I paused, thinking about Carla.This left me feeling weak."Damn it. This is my fault. I should have controlled myself before Pedro and found a way to tackle the truth, but I went ahead and blurted things out of anger. "I had my back leaning against the wall with my hands covering my face.Images of Carla came flowing in my head. Our last sex and her words that day at the store room also filled my mind.She said it clearly that day that she didn't want anything that would lead the public into knowing about our secret, and Pedro knows the truth.He had seen us that day at the park and we didn't even know."Carla," I uttered her name, feeling guilt and a strong wave of care for her safety, engulfing me."I have to see her. Yes, I need to tell her about this. She needs to be aware of Pedro's sche

CARLAOver lunch, Mom, Diego, and I, laughed over a funny tale shared by Mom about her time as a teenager.It got me almost choking on my food, if not for the glass of water beside me that saved my life."I'm telling you. Anytime I remember that period, I always ask myself if I was okay or not. Why will you put a knife in the microwave?"Diego and I laughed at her loudly."Now I know where my craziness came from?" I chuckled out, placing my hand on the table.Only to feel my finger touching Diego's. That got me looking his way to notice his eyes had fallen on me already.A calm smile crept across his face as he drew his hand away from mine, facing my Mom back.I didn't know how to react to that. I just directed my attention back at Mom, with my eyes slowly stealing a glance at him."He looks more relaxed than before. By now he would have taken hold of my hands or teased me," I viewed, sensing a change in Diego.Not too long... "I should take my leave now," Diego decided, about rising

CARLAThe news of my wedding with Diego went wild like forest fire.Many saw the update on the net, going crazy over the news.They couldn't believe it.#NEWLY WEDHEADLINE: UNPLANNED WEDDING.That was the trending topic all over the net and the news.When I checked, I saw a video of mine and Diego's wedding. Someone had uploaded it for everyone to see.The comments were my favorite. What I saw left me smiling with joy."O.M.G! Their parents gave blessed them?""What?! I thought they were brother and sister?""I knew something was fishy between the two of them. Their sibling bond didn't look convincing to me.""Awwn! My billionaire crush is married. But she's so beautiful. I want to cry."I laughed when I read the comments. It really made my day.I thought I would come across negative response, but I didn't see any.Even if I do see one, I know the vampire who's responsible."Are you ready?" I heard Diego's voice from behind.I turned around and found the love of my life, my hubby, st

CARLA"What? How did she know?"I stared at Jessica in horror, as she revealed to everyone my secret relationship with Diego.This left my heart pounding with fear and my whole body heating up with speed.How did she get this information?I was troubled.Worst, I saw how everyone began staring at me like I was someone made out of filth. Even my school mates, and the cheer leading team that came, stared at me in shock.I felt terrible as my feet drew backwards from Pedro's side."This can't be happening," I panicked within, directing my gaze at Jessica. She had a cunning smile on as she went on talking, exposing my affairs with Diego."This slut always sleep with him just to get whatever she wants. So repulsive!" She scoffed out."This would explain how he always stands by her at school, even when she doesn't deserve it! " Jessica added, showing off her jealousy.The witch! She didn't leave the school without leaving me behind. She still hd something up her sleeves to get back at me f

DIEGOIt's just as I suspected. Pedro is the one who's keeping Carla away from me. But I couldn't tell what he was using to turn her mind away from me.In the remaining few days to the wedding, I tried to get hold of Carla, but everything was to no avail.Her lines were suddenly blocked. When I came around to her place to know what happened, she was absent. "She misplaced her lines. Pedro had to get her a new one. Isn't he sweet?" Mrs Parker had shared when I came over the third time to meet her.I was so mad that I had to go over to Pedro's place to find him. But I met his father instead. The old man noticed the rage all over me and requested to know what was happening."You boys no longer talk to each other again. Is there something wrong?" He had asked. All I could do was tell him that all was well."I just wanted to talk to him. That's all," I lied, leaving his home.But that didn't stop me from looking for Pedro and Carla."Where did you take her to?!" I groaned, feeling wor

DIEGOI couldn't accept this. What is happening? While Dad and Mrs Parker were celebrating with Pedro, I pulled Carla away without their knowledge, taking her right outside."Diego, what's your problem?" She uttered, struggling to pull her hand out of my grip. But I didn't allow it. Once I knew we where far from the house and away from anyone's interference, I turned Carla over, sparking out, " What the hell, Carla?! Engaged with Pedro?! Is this some kind of joke?!""No!" She responded, finally dragging her hand from mine. "It's not a joke. I'm engaged to Pedro. We're going to get married after our school and...""STOP IT!" I roared, leaving Carla shivering before me at the tone of my voice. My hands came wiping my face in frustration, wondering where or how to proceed with this."No, this can't be happening. You can't be with Pedro. You belong to me!" I said, grabbing her by the arm. Carla gave a groan, making an attempt to break free. But my anger was way stronger than her str

DIEGODesperate to get to the bottom of this issue, I drove down to Carla's home at once.On arrival, I noticed Mrs Parker leaving the house, before she spotted me driving into her premises.When I got out of the car, feeling my heart pumping... "Diego, it's so nice to see you my son, " Mrs Parker greeted, drawing closer to me.I gave a quick smile with my eyes falling on the house, trying to spot Carla."Did your father send you over to get me?" She asked me, getting all excited.From her words, I could tell she was heading out to meet Dad.Still having the smiles on, I said, " Not really. I just came over to see Carla. Is she in?""Not yet. She's not back from school, but she's on her way, " She said, looking at the house. I didn't know what to do, if I should head over to her school or wait here instead.My mind was just troubled. "Is it important?" Mrs Parker asked, showing concern towards me.Not wanting her to feel there's a problem, I smirked at her and made a request, "Can

DIEGOI finally have Carla to myself.She loves me just as much as I love her.I never thought she'd give in one day and accept my love for her.I just feel so... So..."Diego, can you hear me?" I heard, snapping out of my thoughts. I lifted my gaze to see my father looking at me with confusion all over his face."Are you okay, son?" He asked.I was at his office, sitting right opposite my old man. We were making preparation for the wedding which is closer than ever."Yeah, I'm okay.""Are you sure? I've been calling out to you but you didn't answer back. You're sure you're okay? " He asked, sitting upright. I hummed, nodding along, with my eyes dropping down at the list before me. "I am, Father," I claimed. But trust me, I wasn't.I stared at the guest list for the wedding, thinking about Carla and I. I've finally found love after so long of being by myself, and the only way I can make this relationship between Carla and I work out fine, lies within our parents. But how would th

CARLAMy eyes grew large at what I was gazing at. These were more pictures of Pedro having sex, but not with Jessica. He's having sex with other ladies!I lifted each pictures to have a good look at the faces of the girls in them. I immediately recognized three of them. They are students from this college."Isn't this that girl?" I pointed at one, recognizing the lady riding Pedro in the cowgirl style. She's the one I saw at the cafeteria with Pedro the other time.Pedro has been sleeping with her too?"Now is that enough to show you the kind of person your Pedro truly is?" Jessica asked in a mocking tone.I lifted my eyes at her, as she gave out a chuckle, crossing her legs at me with pride."That's why I called you a fool for taking him back after what he did to you in the past. You just blindly accepted him after a few fake love confession," She mocked, insulting my decision to be with Pedro after what he did to me."Can you see his true colors? He doesn't love you but loves ass

CARLAI joined the guys at the gym to have a crazy moment. The party was a blast, and I was even more amused with the fact that the rector, and even the Chancellor himself who came back from a long trip, didn't come to stop us from making such noises. You could say maybe they are in agreement with this loud and crazy party. In other words, they gave us the go ahead to celebrate.Haha!"Hey Carla," One of the girls interrupted me from my dance.She is among the girls who used to be Jessica's friend and teammate then. "What's up?" I asked, still swaying my body to the rhythm.She held me by the hand and said, after drawing closer to my point, "I know I shouldn't be poking my nose in this matter, but..."She hovered her gaze left and right, like one who doesn't want to be heard or seen with me.It felt... Suspicious.When she faced me, she said, " I know it's not my business, but are you and Pedro having a problem?"When she asked I felt a sudden skip in my heart over her question.A

CARLAThe remaining days went beautifully well.Diego made those short moments so romantic between us, that I almost wished those days wouldn't end. But it had to come to an end eventually. When it did, Mom, on Sunday evening, came over with Mr Smith to get me. But before I followed her to our home, Mom told Diego and I that her wedding dress was set and she would like us to follow them to the designer's store in two days to get it.She showed us the pictures of the dress and it left my heart aching with sadness."Just a week plus and we'll be a big family," Mr Smith said, caressing Mom in his hold.When I saw how they were getting all lovey dovey and cozy, I directed my eyes at Diego. He was just smiling at them both, congratulating them.And I had to join him in doing the same, feeling troubled about the relationship between the both of us.When I went in to get my things and leave, Diego and I met up in my room, staring at each other lost.There was no need to voice out my worri
