Chapter 20 A Temperature Of 39° (2/2)

Terence raised his head slightly

and looked at his guilty hand. He didn't remember when the crime was committed. Terence was about to remove his hand, but lingered there a little longer, because it felt nice.

He dared to move his thumb ever so lightly across the delicate skin.

”Te-ren-ce!”

Carla warned, her eyes glaring at his hand which didn't want to let go.

”Knife!

Where's the knife?

Someone get me a knife!” she roared, looking around. ”Fine!”

Terence chuckled. He quickly withdrew his hand and grasped Carla, who was ready to get the knife and chop his hand off. He lifted his top and tucked Carla's hand under it.

”Here, you can touch back, for as long as you want!”

Carla pushed him out of the bed and out of her room. ”Get out of here!”

”Come on. I swear that it wasn't deliberate.”

”Bang!”

Terence tried to apologize but the door was slammed shut

and he had been kicked out.

Terence laughed out loud when he looked at his hand that had been on Carla's breast. There had been quite a lot of women who had tried to seduce him. But Terence had always preserved his moral integrity.

Carla may not have ever been with a man, but Terence had never been with a woman either.

Being with someone intimately for the first time might not mean much to other people, but to Terence it meant a lot.

However, what he felt when he lay next to Carla, with her body next to him and his hand on her soft breast felt really good.

He wanted more...

Since Carla had been ill the previous night, she asked for a day off to fully recover.

Sean was at school and would not be coming back for lunch. So there was only Carla and Terence at home.

Carla kept herself busy and found things to do.

She changed the sheets on her bed and did a load of washing and cleaned around the house.

Sean's birthday was coming up soon and she had planned to decorate the house a little.

Carla opened the window to air the house and noticed

two familiar figures walking towards the building outside.

One of them was Tracy. She was aunt Li's nineteen-year-old daughter who lived in the next building and the other was tall handsome Terence. She was speaking with him about something.

”Thank you so much.” Tracy took the bag of fruit from Terence and bowed shyly to express her gratitude.

”You're welcome. It was nothing.” Terence smiled as he pressed the elevator button.

”Oh. Terence. My mum steamed meatballs for lunch. It's very delicious. Would you like some?” Tracy looked up at him with sparkling eyes.

Terence thought for a moment and tried to politely refuse, ”No, that's okay. I don't want to trouble you.”

”It won't be a problem at all. I'll pack some for you and Carla to have later. I'll only be a moment.”

Tracy smiled, carrying the fruit and went to the next building where her apartment was.

Terence walked upstairs

and held the grocery bag in one hand, while knocking on the door with the other. He didn't take the key with him because he knew that Carla was at home.

But, no one opened the door after a few knocks.

Terence frowned. 'What happened?'

”Carla?” He knocked again. ”Carla! Are you home?”
