Tempted By Your Touch. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

CARLAMy eyes were still locked with Diego's.He kept staring at me without making a blink.I could feel my body turn hot just looking at his entrancing face. It got my heart swelling with a temptation to brush my lips against his cheek one more time.But I had to pull myself out of this thoughts, breaking the lock between us.I gave a smile, looking the other way, saying, "Wishing you good luck at the office. It's a boring environment, so..."I directed my gaze back at Diego again. He still had his eyes on me, and that got me feeling hot even more."So be a good... Em... Do well at the office," I stammered, saying whatever that came to my mind, with my eyes looking elsewhere than his face.I was beginning to sweat within.That's when I noticed a smile across Diego's face from the corner of my eyes. That got my attention once again.I couldn't have a long look away without turning back to stare at him. It's almost like he had a spell or something that keeps calling my attention his wa

CARLAAfter what I witnessed at the cafeteria, I could no longer take Jessica's words out of my head.She was standing right outside, almost like she saw the whole drama before me.The mockery in her gaze, it was just intense."Ma'am!""Huh?" I shivered out of my thoughts on hearing the cab driver's loud call.I looked his way and saw he had stopped driving. "We're here, " He notified me.I took a look at my window to see we have arrived outside Diego's company. The sight of the building brought his face into my mind, sending a warm feeling engulfing me from inside.I couldn't wait to get in and see him."Thank you", I appreciated the driver while paying for my fee.I opened the door and stepped out of the cab, staring at the building with my bag hanging across my shoulder.With a sigh, I took my steps forward, approaching the entrance, and also trying my best to take out any negative thoughts.The security at the entrance didn't hesitate to open the door when he saw me coming."Nice

PEDRO"What was that?"I still couldn't take my mind off Carla's reaction when I suggested to come with her to her place.She acted like she doesn't want me around her, more like she's trying to avoid me."No, she was just occupied with the family dinner plans. She's just looking after me, " I believed, remembering the family dinner I joined them in, and Diego's drama.Just thinking of that moment still makes me laugh."Asshole. He couldn't stand the fact that Carla chose me over him." I chuckled on in mockery.But knowing that he's going to be at the family dinner with Carla..."Shit!" I groaned with my laughter fading away in an instance."What if he tries to turn her against me? Diego can't be trusted around Carla. Damn it! This is why I wanted to come along so I can protect her from him," I complained, finding this disturbing.After finding out the truth about Diego and Carla's secret intimacy, my mind hasn't been at rest.I know it was because of what happened between Carla and I

CARLAThe following day, I was all set for school.I decided to contact Pedro and know if he'd be coming around to get me, but he didn't answer my calls.I gave a try for the third time and got the same response. Didn't wait for anyone to tell me what to do next.I just kept my phone aside, letting out a sigh. My bag leaning against the wall in my room, taking my thoughts to Pedro.His phone rang out for sure. It was clear that he doesn't want to pick my calls. But I didn't feel bothered one bit."Anyways, I'll just call someone who is ready," I said, lifting my phone and dialing Diego's number.I didn't get to talk to him after last night. I fell back asleep and woke up early this morning.Since Pedro wasn't answering my calls, I felt it would be best if Diego carried out his brotherly duty by dropping his sweet sister at school. "I'm sure he won't mind, " I smiled, listening to his line ring. And just when I was beginning to lose hope of getting his answer, Diego answered the cal

Chapter 70CARLASince that day, Pedro and I didn't speak to each other.Even though he tried to get me to talk by calling and texting or meeting with me face to face at school, I didn't give him any listening ear.Until the D day of my audition for the cheer leading position, I got myself ready for school and made sure I came on time.Mom was rooting for me, and promising to make my favorite meal if I get in.That served as a confidence booster.I was all set along with the others, as we all gathered at the gym, waiting to begin. What amused me more was the fact that the Hall was crowded unlike the other days.It's almost like they were here to watch a movie or a battle.The students all seated, cheered at we the participants, taking part in the final audition. All cheering loudly with their eyes falling on... Me?"Are they here because of me? " I wondered, feeling thrilled by the full house.When the others and I stood at the corner to begin, my eyes fell on Pedro at the first row
