Burning Passion: Love Never Die

As if to prove his words, he not only took another sip of the drink but also pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

The sweetness of the milk tea spread through their mouths. Debbie was so happy she wished this moment could last forever. ‘I wish we would never fight again!’ she thought.

Large flakes of snow fell outside the warm and cozy office. Carlos sat on the couch while Debbie sat on his lap drinking the milk tea.

Suddenly, Debbie remembered a joke.

“Carlos, let me tell you a story,” she said.

“Okay,” he replied.

He could tell from her sly smile that she was plotting something.

“Listen, uh, once upon a time, there was a fool who Liked saying ‘No’.

He always answered ‘No’ when people asked him something,” she narrated. After some pause, she continued, “Oh, by the way, have you heard this story before?” She looked Carlos in the eye, waiting for his reply.

He curled his lips and answered, “Yes, you told me the story before.”

“No, I’ve never—”

It was not until Carlos chuckled that Debbie realized that he had her fooled.

Frustrated, she pinched his arm and beat on his chest.

“Aaaaaagh! Why do you have to be so smart?! You called me a fool! You are an ass!”

Carlos held her tighter and smelled her hair.

“Are you sure it’s I who called you a fool? You were the one who called yourself a fool,” he retorted.

Debbie snorted and looked away while pouting her lips.

She thought hard about how to get back at Carlos. After a long pause, she started again, “Hey, let me ask you a question. If there were a girl with a pretty face and perfect body sitting on your lap, would you fall for her?”

This time, he answered without hesitation, “No, I wouldn’t.” There was only one girl in the world whom he would fall for, and she was none other than Debbie.

“Yeah, he’s hooked!’ Debbie was elated, but holding back a smile, she pretended to be angry.

“Carlos, how dare you allow another girl to sit on your Lap?”

Carlos’ jaw dropped. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

‘What a cunning girl! I can’t keep up with her varying tactics, ‘ he thought .

Debbie was about to stand when Carlos pulled her waist and said in a serious manner, “I can assure you that I will not allow anyone else to sit on my lap. This place is owned by you and you only.”

The seriousness in his eyes stunned her. How would you feel if a handsome and charming man expressed his love for you? You would get excited, of course. Debbie was no exception. Words left her as she was drowned in Carlos’ eyes. She could not get herself to look away. After a long time, she finally spoke.
