“No, don’t. Old man, I apologize. I’m sorry. What I did was wrong. Don’t be mad, okay?” she said.
Carlos continued to strip off her jacket, as if he couldn’t hear her.
Debbie clutched her clothes tightly, but then he lifted her jacket up.
“Carlos, be a gentleman! How can you be such a jerk? Get your hands off me!”
Continuing to ignore her, he turned her around with her back to him.
When he was sure that there was no injury, he finally put her jacket down and straightened her clothes for her.
By now, she realized that this man had no ill-gained intentions in his mind.
Then, he started to take off her pants.
“I am not injured,” she said hurriedly.
Carlos was relieved. After a glance at her, he asked, “Debbie, how are we going to settle this?”
When she saw his face, all her anger vanished into thin air, because she had done something wrong.
“I know I was wrong, so please don’t be mad,” she pleaded holding his hand with a fawning smile, in a soft voice.
As a tomboy, that was the best she could do to play cute. Actually, even that was killing her.
However, the man didn’t seem to appreciate her efforts. He stayed nonchalant and didn’t believe a word she had just said.
Debbie felt utterly frustrated. Desperate to prove her sincerity, she raised her right hand and vowed, “I meant every word I just said. I’m really grateful for what you did for me today, and I promise I’ll listen to you after we go back.”
Carlos suddenly pulled her into his arms. Debbie’s heart pounded nervously.
She didn’t even know how to react to such a situation.
“Don’t ever travel alone again,” he demanded.
She nodded in a fluster. ‘Is…is he worried about me?’ she wondered.
But she had doubts.
“Carlos, why are you here?” She finally mustered up enough courage to ask the crucial question that was troubling her throughout the day. At the same time, part of her hoped that his answer would be “I’m here for you.”
“I was just passing by,” he replied casually.
She refused to believe a word he had just said. Thinking that he had come here for her, Debbie wrapped her arms around his neck happily, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek affectionately.
‘Thank you, Carlos. Thank you for letting me rely on you, ‘ she reflected. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
At this moment, Debbie felt that Carlos was much more reliable and trustworthy than other men around her, such as Jared and Hayden. Hayden had admitted quite bluntly that he still loved her. Despite that, he wasn’t there when she needed his help.
