Chapter 61

CARLAI woke up to the sound of my alarm. That got me stretching out wide, letting out a yawn."What a night?" I gaped out, dimming my eyes open.When I looked around and noticed I was in my room, my eyes grew large at once, with my head hovering around in astonishment."How did I get here?" I jumped out of bed, but fell back on feeling my eyes turning."Wow. Easy there, Carla. Just relax," I said to myself, relaxing back on my bed.I lifted my gaze to take a quick look around my room."But I was with Diego last night. Did he bring me here?" I wondered, seeing that as the only explanation currently."He must have brought me here when I fell asleep deeply. Otherwise I would have felt when he was carrying me if I wasn't," I believed, knowing myself.Once my eyes came all calm, I got out of bed, making my way out of the room.My mind on Diego, wondering if he had left already.It was six in the morning and I was sure Mom would be back home."He must have gone," I assumed, stepping into t

Chapter 62

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

Chapter 63

CARLAI sat alone at the cafeteria, thinking about what Jessica had said."What does she mean by that statement?" I wondered, playing with the straw of my drink with my mind all lost in thoughts."She is just saying rubbish. I shouldn't allow her words get to me." I groaned, swaying my head to take out whatever Jessica had said back there. But the looks in her eyes were tense and full of seriousness.Is there something she knows that I don't?"Hey sweetheart," I heard Pedro's voice.That jolted me out of my thoughts, with my attention falling on him.He was swift to even allow me have a good look at his face. His lips just came down on my forehead, pecking it with kisses."Where you hiding from me, my heroine?" He smirked, sitting right next to me.From his words, I could tell he had heard about the drama that unfolded at the gym.I gave a smile, crossing my arms on the table."I wasn't. Just wanted to get some refreshments," I said, signaling at the drink.Pedro hummed, taking a qui

Chapter 64

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

Chapter 65

CARLA"Jealousy?" I uttered, still gazing at Diego in astonishment.What makes him think I'm jealous? His lips curving into a smirk, caressing ny lips more."Yes, jealousy. You are jealous of my secretary. Isn't that right?" He questioned, taking me by the waist in a swift, and pulling me closer.A soft gasp escaped my lips on feeling his grip and arm clenching around my waist."I'm not jealous. Why would you say that?" I questioned, trying to look serious before Diego.He scoffed out, saying, "Maybe because she has a bigger boob than yours?""What?!" I yelled.Diego began laughing at me, and that made me annoyed."Let go of me! " I groaned, struggling to break free from his hold, but he wouldn't budge."Why are you getting mad? If you aren't offended by what I said then you won't be acting like a psychopath.""I am not a psychopath!"I forced myself out of his hold, running towards his table.I stood close to the window, turning around to face Diego. He was still standing near the do

Chapter 66

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

Chapter 67

CARLA"No way!" I laughed out hard until my ribs began to ache me.Diego and I had stopped at the road side eatery to have our lunch. Even though eyes with their phone camera's were flashing at us, we didn't mind.Diego's bodyguards had followed us, so we had no issue if someone was making an attempt to come and have a personal picture with us.But at the moment, we were having a crazy moment.Diego and I were having an interesting conversation about his work, in which he shared a funny moment that occurred at the company.That got me laughing to the point of hurting my ribs."Not anymore, please," I begged, trying to calm my laughter and heal my aching ribs."Oh but that's not the end of it. There's still a lot to hear about the meeting," He said, letting out a smirk.It's almost like he wants me to explode from my laughter. He wasn't ready to listen to me.Diego kept on talking and I ended up laughing more with me falling into his hold."I beg you, Diego. Please spare me," I pleaded

Chapter 68

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 69

CARLAOutside my school, Diego's car came pulling up close to the gate.We have been silent throughout the drive, with our eyes trying not to fall on each other.Well mostly me.I'm the one who has been stealing multiple glances at Diego after the scenario between us at my home.He just had his attention on the road, taking less gazes at me. And whenever I saw his eyes falling my way, I would immediately look away with my heart racing.I couldn't help but feel somehow shy before Diego, even though we've been relating with each other for long now.When he came to a stop outside my school, we just sat there, staring at the gate.Well, mostly me. I was feeling too nervous to even look Diego's way.I had my hands drumming on my knee, lowering my gaze away from the gate, down to my lap where my bag was settled.I'm already here at school, but I wasn't ready to step out. My body wasn't prepared to make a move. It's like it was waiting for something to happen."We're here," Diego finally sa

Chapter 70

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
