Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 248 Ask Her Out

Terence had a sullen look on his face. How could he pretend otherwise? Johnny was putting the moves

on his woman right in front of his face.

"Afternoon? Sorry, I can't. I'm not available,"

Carla replied almost instantly. She wanted to make it very obvious that she didn't want to go out with

him.

"Really? Well, where are you now? I can come by to see you," Johnny asked, determined not to give

up.

Johnny was different from Noah. Noah was always gentle. And he'd never rush her or be so blunt.

But Johnny was the opposite and he could be too curt.

Terence, who sat beside her, had closed his fists into a tight ball. The veins under his skin threatened to

pop out. He might be silent but he was loud with rage.

Carla wanted to take the call off the speakerphone but Terence would get even angrier. She had to

keep it on.

"Johnny, I'm not in the mood to go out," Carla reasoned and followed it with a forced cough.

This man was shameless! First, he and Marcus conspired to set up Terence. And now, he wanted to

pursue Carla. How despicable!

"You can't avoid me forever, Carla, I'll wait for you at Otter Bay in the afternoon. If you don't show up,

you know what's gonna happen."

Johnny hung up the phone before she could reply.

"What? Johnny! What do you mean, Johnny?" Carla shouted over the phone.

"Carla! Forget about him," Terence reassured her. He took Carla into his arms and wrapped her in an

embrace. He used his finger to lift her chin and said, "He's using Sean to threaten you. I'm not going to

let that happen."

Sean was her only weakness, Terence knew that.

Carla opened her mouth to speak but Terence held his finger against her lips.

"You're not going to see him, Carla. I've sent my best men to look for your brother. And once he's under

my men's protection, nobody can touch him. Johnny will definitely try. And it's going to end real ugly for

him,"

Terence snarled. Did these people really think he was dead? How dare Johnny! How could he say

something like that to Carla?

All he wanted to do right now was tear Johnny into pieces.

"Okay, I'm not gonna go. Don't be mad anymore." Carla stared into Terence's angry eyes with eyes she

filled with lots of calm. She caressed his chest with her free hand. Terence closed his eyes as she

listened to his breath as it calmed down.

She had no idea how Johnny got her number. But she didn't want him to have the chance to hurt both

her and Terence again, even for today. She turned off her phone and put it away.

Terence finally calmed down and opened his eyes to stare at Carla's. He gave her a light kiss on the

lips before he swept her off her feet and into his arms and took her upstairs.

In the room upstairs, they spent the whole afternoon in bed, determined to erase what happened earlier

from their minds.

There was still some anger inside Terence, especially when it came to Johnny. He had past grudges

with Johnny but this was the worst he'd ever done.

To take his wife was unforgivable.

At the same time, at another part of the city, Johnny waited for Carla at Otter Bay the whole afternoon.

He endured the cold autumn wind and didn't leave until the night lights came on.

This was the first time he'd ever been stood up by a woman. And what was even worse, he still waited

for her all afternoon.

Johnny burnt with rage and punched his fist in the air to release it.

He might be mad at her though, but he still wasn't going to give up. Carla said she wasn't coming. He

knew that.

When he left, he decided to look for a hooker to release his anger. But he thought of what Carla would

say when she found out and abandoned the idea.

Terence gave her all of his love. And he also-

Johnny still couldn't believe it. How could he? Terence was a man! He must have had the need, the

same need that every man needed. How could he keep it to himself?

Johnny was shocked. It seemed Terence was good at persuading Carla.

Johnny remembered when he first had sex, he was still a teenager. And he had enjoyed it ever since.

He couldn't imagine how Terence waited for so long.

Maybe he wasn't human and he was from another planet.

Even monks had desires. And Terence had his abstinence? It was just not normal.

And at the other end of the city, the lights in thousands of houses burnt bright in the dark night, except

for one. Carla's house was the only house that wasn't lit.

"Terence? can I ask you a question?"

Carla asked Terence. They both lay in bed in the dark, exhausted.

"Nobody has ever dared ask me a question. But, for you, I'll make an exemption," Terence teased her.

Carla turned around to face him. She propped her head up on one arm and asked, "Aren't you

exhausted?"

Terence didn't answer.

He ignored her question. Instead, he turned and leaned towards Carla. He took her face in his hand

and kissed her with lots of passion.

He was still full of energy and he wasn't tired at all.

"Wait, hold on, Terence, have you never touched any woman before? Of the female species?" Carla

asked. She had cupped her hand to form a microphone and placed it under Terence's mouth.

"Don't you trust me? I worked so hard for you, Carla, to get you. You know that," Terence whispered.

His lips parted and he swallowed her slender finger. He lifted himself up and pushed Carla down with

his body on the bed. He kissed her until she was out of breath.

Terence broke this kiss first and looked into Carla's eyes.

"Still don't trust me, huh? Then prepare yourself. We're doing it all night."

Carla groaned in response.

"No, it's okay! I trust you! I trust you, Terence. I was just asking. I didn't mean to offend you. Just don't

do it," Carla appealed.

But, it was already too late.

Terence was very picky when it came to women. He wouldn't just pick any woman to be with.

Before he met Carla, he had always thought of having sex with any random woman. But it never felt

right.

He knew he could only do it with the one when he met her.

When they met in BH City for the first time, she fell into his world like an angel. But he wasn't sure. Was

she really the one? The one he'd been waiting for his entire life?

But their relationship was strongly tested when something important happened.

That night, the wind blew with great force.

He walked alone, along the dimly lit street, his thoughts all about her.

He thought she wanted him to leave. Maybe she wasn't the right one for him.

She was clever and smart, but she was also an ordinary girl, and sometimes very vulgar. How could

she be a good match for him?

He thought about sending her some money to repay her for all her help. With that money, she and her

brother would be comfortable for the rest of their lives.

And when Carla arrived that night and found him, he gave up the idea.

He could still smell the rich scents of the hibiscus flower from that night. From then on, he had always

seen her as the angel that brought him back from the dark.

From then on, something changed in him. He felt different, a good different.

And when Karen made that misunderstanding, it became a turning point in their relationship.

She might have been trying to hide it from him but, at that moment, she realized what and how much Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

she felt for him.

And, at that moment, his heart melted.

He didn't want to miss her ever again.

She was the only one who made his heart flip. She could be his one and only. And if he couldn't have

her then, he might miss his chance to know his only one and never have the opportunity again.

"Carla? Carla?"

Terence called. Carla had fallen asleep, dead tired. Terence moved to his side to get off of her. He lifted

his arm so he could pull Carla into his arms and his embrace.

Carla breathed heavily from the exhaustion. She looked like a baby with her flushed cheeks.

"I know I've never said this to you, but I love you, Carla,"

Terence whispered. He kissed her gently on the cheeks and embraced her even tighter and brought

her closer to his warm and safe chest.
