Tempted By Your Touch. Chapter 35
DIEGOBefore my eyes, Pedro pulled Carla into his arms for a hug, embracing her before all."Thank you so much, Carla. I love you," He said, squeezing her close.I stared at this in shock, wondering if I was imagining things or not. But when I saw Carla embracing Pedro back, my heart came all heavy just watching her burying herself in his hold.My whole body was heating up at this scene with my heart beating fast in anger.I tightened my hands into a fist, hearing everyone clapping hands for both Pedro and Carla, celebrating their reunion."See, there was no need to get all mad," Mrs Parker said to me.But I was too furious to digest anybody's words."And you said she doesn't love him any..."In rage, I stormed away, cutting father halfway in his words, as he began calling me back, which I refused to listen. I went in through the path away from the Hall, walking with speed."Diego!" Father kept calling my name from behind, but I was too mad to stop and face him.Memories of that day

DIEGO"A brother, that's who I am to her?" I uttered, slowly walking through the path, all alone.Though the music from the Hall could be heard echoing around, it still felt all silent to me.I walked further with flashbacks of Carla and I, flooding my memories. Her laughter, her smiles, her silliness... All those attributes that always planted a glow in my heart, now stabbed me right in that same place."Love? Rubbish! She still loves the same person that left her shattered? She can go to hell for all I care."I stormed on, taking a turn to the next path leading to the party, only to meet father before me.We almost bumped into each other, but I was able to step back quickly. "Father?""Son, here you are. I've been looking for you, " He said, drawing closer to me."What happened back there? I was calling and you just walked out." Father asked, placing his hand on my shoulder."It's... It's nothing," I claimed, trying to hide the annoyance rising in me."You can't tell me it's nothi

CARLA"Diego!" I called out to him, but he didn't listen, nor did he turn back to look at me.This left my heart aching, watching him exit the hall in rage."Diego!" Pedro also called out, but gave a sigh when he left."Everything would be fine, Carla. He's my friend. I know the kind of man he is. He'll be fine," Pedro assured me, placing his arm around my shoulder.I felt discomfort filling my body, staring out to the entrance Diego had taken.I don't want this raging feeling between us to last. I don't want him to... "Carla," My mother called me from behind.I turned around with Pedro to see both Mr Smith and my mother, coming closer to us.Their eyes scanning around before Mr Smith asked, " Where's Diego? I thought we just saw him here?""Diego? He... Em..." I stammered, thinking about his face expression on seeing Pedro and I together."He what?" Mom asked."He got a call and left the party. Seems it's an emergency or so," Pedro lied to them.Though they had a sign of disbelief w

CARLA"Maybe he went somewhere. I'm sure he's fine," Mom assured Mr Smith, so he won't get worried about his son."Well, if you say so then. I'm just worried about my boy. He hasn't been himself after the incident," Mr Smith said, sighing out.That got me feeling upset within.He left because of me, now we don't know where exactly he has gone to.Seeing the troubled look in Mr Smith's eyes, I had to step in and keep his mind calm."He said he had something to attend to before leaving. Maybe it's not work related. But don't worry, I'm sure he'd be back. He's Diego after all."Both Mom and Mr Smith smiled at me, finally feeling better."You're right. He's Diego after all. Seems you know your brother better than I do, " He said letting out a chuckle. I managed to give a smile, still worried about Diego's whereabout.Mom and I soon left for home while Mr Smith headed for his, promising to put a call through to Diego when he gets home.That night in my room, I couldn't sleep.I even lost

CARLA"Girlfriend? Tell me you're joking, Pedro?" Jessica demanded, showing her displeasure to the sudden news from Pedro.But Pedro proved he wasn't.His arm came cupping my waist before all, leaving a strange feeling engulfing my heart.Jessica's eyes widened at the sight of this."You heard me right. Carla and I are back together," He repeated.But Jessica wouldn't budge."Shut up! Just shut up!" She yelled out at Pedro."You are lying! I am your girlfriend! This... This..."She faced me and gave out a growl like a raging beast."You bitch! You stole my boyfriend!" She yelled out, charging at me with speed.Jessica came throwing her arms at me, trying to scratch my face with her nails. But Pedro was quick to protect me.He immediately pulled me back, grabbing Jessica away from me."Jessica!" He yelled at her, dragging her back, but she kept shouting, calling me names."Whore! Your secret lover couldn't satisfy you so you came crawling back to my boyfriend! You are a slut!" Her wor

CARLAI felt frozen just staring at Diego, who stood outside the door, looking back at me.He looked like one who was astonished to see me after that day at the engagement party.But his eyes came dimming in a broad and displeased way.He was glaring at me with his gaze lingering on my body from head to toe.When I saw this, I immediately remembered I was putting on a short and singlet. That got me feeling embarrassed, stepping back with my right arm going against my chest, shielding it from his eyes."Oh, Carla. I didn't know you were joining us. How are you?" Mr Smith, who happened to be behind Diego, came into the house, smiling at me."Great. I'm doing just fine," I answered, trying not to look at Diego.He just stepped into the house like I didn't exist, making his way to my Mom, who came out from the dining to welcome them."Oh goody! You made it Diego. How was the office?" Mom asked, giving Diego a hug."The usual," He responded to her.I was still feeling uncomfortable with t

CARLA"Oh, Diego. What a surprise to see you here," Pedro said, lifting his hand to give a wave at Diego, who stood right next to me.I could feel tension brewing in the room when I looked at Diego. His face sent chills down my spine, watching how he stared back at Pedro like he's looking directly at the devil himself."Is that Pedro?" I heard Mr Smith ask, stepping out from the dinning into the living room.When he came into the room, Pedro immediately made himself known to Mr Smith, greeting him with respect."It's nice to see you again, Mr Smith," He said with a smile across his face."I knew I heard your voice. How are you?" Mr Smith walked up to Pedro to welcome him.I had my eyes looking at both men, greeting themselves respectfully, when something triggered my mind, reminding me of the one beside me."Diego." I turned to look at my left hand side and found him staring at me.His gaze like a thousand dagger darting right at me.I felt my heart skip uncomfortably, as I tried to s

DIEGOI had nothing but anger in my heart after witnessing that scene at the dinning table.Pedro was clearly on his knee proposing to Carla.I felt an urge to stop this but my rage got the best of me, leading my hand into a bloody pool.All that anger came fading after staring into Carla's wet eyes.She's hurt over my action and demeanor in ignoring her, all because of her decision to return back to Pedro.I tried to wipe the feeling rising in me, but I couldn't.Feeling upset after she ran back into the house, I furiously got into my car and drove off, trying to use my good hand to head homehome safely.The drama at the dining kept replaying in my head."For heaven sake, why won't it go?!" I roared, driving with speed.I could hear my phone ringing from my pocket while I was driving.I was sure it was my father trying to call me after I left without his knowledge."This is why I didn't want to come, but he kept insisting that I show up because of Mrs Parker. He lied to me that Carla
