Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“Yes, you did. But why do I have to follow your orders? Who do you think you are? You also want me to quit learning martial arts and take

Yoga and dancing Lessons. But why do I have to listen to you?” she yelled.

“Because you are Mrs. Hilton,” he said calmly.

“Mrs. Hilton? Haha! Women are lining up to be the next Mrs. Hilton. How about we get a divorce and I give someone else the privilege?” Debbie taunted.

The car screeched to a halt with a piercing sound, which startled the girl in the backseat.

She swallowed and stroked her chest to calm herself down. ‘I’m such a fool! Why did I have to piss off the guy behind the wheel? “Car crash victim” isn’t a good look for you, Debbie, * she told herself.

Carlos parked the car along the roadside. A few seconds later, he unfastened his seat belt, grabbed several bags in the passenger seat and left the car.

Then he pulled open the back door and got in.

Instantly, Debbie scooted over to the next seat to stay away from him.

She was frightened. What was he going to do?

Without saying a word, he set the bags in her Lap. She Looked down and saw the shades of lipstick he had bought for her earlier. Even the carton of lipsticks whose packaging had been opened by Megan was in one of the bags.

“Did he buy me a new set? Or did he take the old set back from Megan as

I said?’ she mused.

As if Carlos could read her mind, he explained, “I got those Lipsticks back from Megan except the carton she already opened. To replace it, I simply went to the mall and bought the same one again.”

A myriad of thoughts flooded Debbie’s mind.

Words left her as she stared at the bags.

She didn’t know whether she should just give in and forgive him, or persist in ignoring his gestures. After all, she was still mad at him because he said she wasn’t a virgin. How could he?

Carlos suddenly moved Like a pouncing cat, and ended up hovering above her. His face was so close to hers that she could feel his warm breath against her cheek. Looking her in the eye, he said sincerely, “I’m really sorry. I had no call to say that.” What he said was disrespectful. No wonder she was mad at him.

He came back home with the Lipsticks early this evening, but Julie was the only one there to welcome him. Julie told him Debbie moved into her dorm. Somehow, he was suddenly struck with a deep sense of loss. He never knew what he had until it was gone.

When he finally regained his composure again, he was already at the gates of her university. He called her more than ten times, but she rejected all of them. He had no other choice but to threaten her.

She had even pulled her hood up before getting into his car. ‘Is it embarrassing to be with me? Why doesn’t she want people to know that Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I’m her ride?’ he wondered.

Thinking about this, he removed her hood and was much more satisfied when he saw her girlish bun. He reached out his hand to smooth some stray hair.

Debbie wasn’t sure how she felt, but his sincere apology left her in a trance. ‘He apologized to me? A proud man Like him would apologize?”

She was too shocked to utter a single word. Carlos was amused by her reaction. It wasn’t every day that he managed to shock her, but not for lack of trying.
