CARLA

Stepping into the mansion, with the maids, who were passing by greeting me with respect, I retorted the greetings before entering the living room to find Mom and my soon to be stepfather, talking and laughing on the couch.

Right behind them stood the one I was desperate to lay my eyes on.

Diego.

He was busy operating his phone without looking elsewhere. His whole attention was on the phone, until...

"Carla! You made it, " Mom exclaimed out my name.

The moment she did that, Diego turned around looking straight at me.

There was a sudden shiver that travelled around my body when I saw his gaze falling directly at my point.

His smile left my heart glowing, as I carefully stepped into the living room fully, trying not to look at him too much.

"Welcome princess. How was school?" Mr Smith asked, rising from his seat to welcome me properly.

His arms falling around me for a hug, with a peck to the cheek.

"School was fine, " I responded, grinning at him.

    CARLA"Diego, stop."My hands came against his chest, putting pressure to it, just to get him to stop kissing me.His lips went off mine, settling his gaze on me with questions within."We... We can't do this," I said, feeling my heart aching with sadness slowly taking over me.I sighed out, repeating my words, " We just can't." I closed my eyes, trying to pull myself out of the arousing feeling welling in my body."We can't do this. We are going to be siblings soon and...""I know, " Diego said, cutting me short. I slowly opened my eyes to meet his lock. His eyes filled with cravings and desires to have me, but he just couldn't do it after I stopped him.His head came resting down on my forehead, gently. I could hear his heart beating restlessly. He was trying hard to hold back."I know we can't. But I can't help it, " He confessed, taking his hands to my face, caressing my cheek.I felt a shimmer in my heart when I heard him say that. It got me lifting my head to have a better view

    CARLA"Quit staring and get ready for the game," Jessica chuckled, walking towards a hidden corner to get ready.I glared at her with rage, almost having the thought of racing at her and ripping that outfit into pieces."Unbelievable!""I just hate that girl.""How I wish they removed her from the team. She doesn't deserve to be among us."They all complained, frowning at Jessica's presence. But I know no matter what she does, she can't steal the spotlight."Just ignore her. She can't do anything. Let's head out there and cheer our team, " I encouraged the girls, leaving them chanting with delight.As soon as we were done dressing, the coach came over to get us."Alright girls, it's time. Let's move it, " He said, clapping his hands rapidly to get us set.When he was doing this... "Jessica?" We all saw the surprise look on his face on seeing Jessica in her different outfit."What is this? Is this what you're meant to put on?" He questioned, looking displeased with her appearance.An

    CARLAThere was a half time in the game, with every player heading in to get set for the next half. The others and I came to attend to our girls who were out cheering in our absence.They looked exhausted, yet they were so excited. "I feel so alive!""The guys were scoring like crazy!""We are going to win this for sure."They cheered, taking in some drinks. Didn't want to give them anything more than that so they won't feel too heavy when we're carrying out the next stunt.We all sat down, talking and drinking when Jessica walked in with a swollen face, straight into a different path. The girls saw her and couldn't help but laugh."We saw her sitting on the bench. It was so hilarious to see her face all swollen like a pufferfish," One said, giggling.The others were busy telling them how coach scolded her and told her to stay aside, when my eyes caught sight of Pedro coming from that same route Jessica was taking.I saw when they both stopped to look at each other, before Jessica

    CARLA"What are you talking about? I don't know what you're saying," Jessica denied whatever Diego was accusing her off.But with all we have seen so far, there was no doubt that she spiked out friend's drink. And Diego wasn't going to let it slide easily."I can see you're trying to act all innocent. How about we check your locker then. Shall we?" He glared at Jessica.I could see her whole body trembling with her legs shaking.She hovered her gaze around to see everyone staring and showing their hatred for her.She groaned but refused to comply, still standing on her ground that she was innocent."Maybe you've placed something in my locker and want to frame me," She accused Diego openly. That almost got me mad. I was ready to fire back at her, but I was in pain to make any move."Careful Carla, " Mom cautioned me, as she and Pedro helped me to my feet. All I could do was leap while watching the drama."You must be a complete fool to be unaware of the new installment to the lockers

    CARLAAll these time, the truth has been right in front of me, but I chose to ignore and act absentminded to it.I thought I could shove it off and embrace the life before me, but the more I tried with Diego around, the more harder it became for me.The day I left his home after staying with him for a month, I felt a spark that ignited in my heart for Diego.I had taken it as a normal thing but along the line, I slowly began to understand the meaning of that shimmer. But still, I buried it deep, reminding myself that it was just me being silly.After all, we had sex countless of times and it could be that horniness driving me nuts.That was what I thought, till Diego professed his feelings for me.That's how I knew I've been lying to myself, to my heart, to my own face.I've always loved him but never realized it. I kept engaging myself with Pedro, our parents wedding and other things, hurting not just myself, but Diego as well.But I don't want that any more.I no longer want to kee

    CARLAShould I call this the best day of my life or what?I woke to the sound of glasses clinging right next to me. I opened my eyes and found a tray of my breakfast right in bed. This bloomed my heart because it was Diego who brought it to the room by himself, just to serve me."Good morning, sunshine," He greeted with a beautiful smile across his face, leaning down next to me with a kiss planting on my cheek. What marveled me was the way he dressed. He wore an apron around his bare chest, serving me a nice yummy breakfast.The aroma from the food was just enough to jitter my heart, but... Come on!I couldn't even look elsewhere without staring at that charming body of his."How's your ankle?" He asked, placing the tray beside me properly.My eyes where still on his chest when he asked that question. Humming out first, I said, "It's okay I guess.""You guess? " He chuckled gaining my attention fully on his face.I settled my eyes on him, watching him take a seat right next to me.

    CARLAThe week was going in a swift way that I couldn't help but beg the calendar to slow down."Where are you racing to? Please go slow!" I pleaded in front of the calendar in my room, almost falling on my knees. That's when I heard a familiar voice from behind, laughing at me. With a frown across my face, I turned back and saw Diego watching me from the bed.He was busy attending to a work on his system while making fun of me at the same time."Why are you laughing? Won't you beg along? I just have today and tomorrow with you. Then I'll head back home to Mom. Argh!" I groaned, sliding to the ground.But Diego kept laughing at me.I was now on my knees before the wall with my head against it, patiently waiting for a miracle to intervene."Once these days are over, I won't be able to spend another night with you, " I grumbled at this, feeling upset.That's when I heard Diego sigh from behind with the sound of his laptop closing.That brightened my mood because I understood that sou

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

    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
