Book:Melting your heart, Ms. Ice Published:2024-5-1

Benjamin called Kristi’s number again. His heart was pumping rapidly. He feels something wasn’t right.
Kristi knows that he will call her once he comes home. He sighed heavily and closed his eyes.
“Benjamin are you alright?” Catriona asked him. She wears something revealing in front of him. Benjamin knotted his head when he saw what Catriona’s wearing.
“What are you wearing Catriona?” Benjamin exclaimed.
Catriona’s face reddened in embarrassment. She wanted Benjamin and was secretly in love with him but seeing Benjamin falling in love with Kristi makes her heartache more.
“It’s beautiful, Benjamin, you know that I want to be an actress or a model?” Catriona sweetly told him. Her eyes glowed when her eyes lie on Benjamin.
“I know you wanted to be a model but you don’t need to wear that thing in front of me,” Benjamin can’t stop himself from telling her.
Benjamin looked at her clothes and he imagined that it was Kristi who was wearing that. His army responded and he imagined how beautiful his girlfriend was.
“And why? Benjamin, you’re overprotective,” Catriona assumed that Benjamin didn’t like her wearing because deep inside of his heart he was in love with her.
“What are you thinking?” Catriona playfully asked her. She went near him and gently touched his shoulder. Benjamin knotted his forehead when he saw her gesture.
“What are you doing Catriona?” he said irritatedly.
Catriona slowly touched his chest and she gulped.
“Why are you looking at my clothes? Do you want me to take it off?” Catriona whispered in his ear. Benjamin’s eyes are wide open after hearing it.
“Stop it,” Benjamin warned her. He loves Kristi and even though he was stressed because he can’t call Kristi now it doesn’t mean that he will cheat on her.
“I’m not doing anything, Benjamin,” she mumbled again. She sniffs his smell and she smells his perfume. Catriona felt something inside her was getting to explode.
“You are seducing me, Catriona,” he disgustedly told her.
“I’m not seducing you, Benjamin,” she answered using her sweet tone. She hugged him tightly and closed her eyes when she felt his body. She imagines doing that thing with Benjamin.
Catriona secretly had a desire for her best friend. Whenever Benjamin hugged her and kissed her hands. She felt something inside her, her core was tingling for his touch. She was dreaming every night about having a wild night with Benjamin.
Last night when she woke up, she felt something in her core. It’s too wet and she’s not a virgin for not knowing what it is.
“Benjamin, let’s have a drink,” Catriona says. She looked at him with lust and love. Her heart was grieving when Benjamin had a girlfriend. She can’t accept the fact that Benjamin chooses Kristi over her.
“I can’t, tomorrow, Kristi will go here,” Benjamin informed her. Catriona can’t believe what she heard.
Why will Benjamin introduce Kristi to his parents? She wanted that place!
“Benjamin, are you serious?” her voice raised. She wanted to smash everything, she felt her time was limited. She wanted Benjamin so bad.
“Catriona, why are you asking me that? I wanted Kristi to meet them, and I’m serious about having a relationship with her. I wanted her to be my wife,” Benjamin bluntly informed Catriona about his plans.
“What?” Catriona can’t believe everything that she hears. Her heart was shattered into pieces.
“Benjamin, you’re too young for that!” she opinions. Benjamin shook his head in disbelief.
“Yeah, I’m too young for that plan but I love her. All I want is her, I love Kristi so much,” Benjamin happily told her. He didn’t care about her feelings because he knew that Catriona was so overprotective of him.
“Benjamin, don’t introduce her to your parents first, you should know Kristi very well before you introduce her to auntie,” Catriona advised him. She wanted to jump on Benjamin and make out with him. She will do everything to make them separate.
“Why? I told mommy that Kristi is gonna go to our house. And she’s excited to meet her,”
“Let’s have a drink, I have a problem,” Catriona used her weak voice. She smiled faintly. She needed a drink to forget everything that she heard.
“I’m sorry Catriona but I can’t,” Benjamin simply said to her. Catriona breathes out.
“But Benjamin, please I need someone right now,” she pleaded. Benjamin scratched his head.
“Let’s call Antonio, I don’t want to drink with you without another man,” Benjamin took his cell phone and dialed Antonio’s number.
Catriona shook her head. She wanted Benjamin only to drink with her. She has plans to seduce him when he’s drunk.
“Hello, Antonio,” Benjamin shouted. Catriona smiled when she heard his playful voice.
“Let’s have a drink, Catriona wanted to drink,” Benjamin says. He heard Antonio groan over the call.
“You know I don’t like that woman, but I’m thinking about you that’s why I will go with you,” Antonio exclaimed.
Benjamin chuckled at what his friend said. He knows that Antonio disliked Catriona that much.
“Wait for me, I will go to your house,” Antonio informed him and ended the call.
Catriona was secretly wishing that Antonio wouldn’t come with them. She wanted to pursue her plans to get Benjamin before he decided to get married.
She plans to have a night with him and do everything to get pregnant. She knows that Benjamin will marry her on the spot if she will get pregnant with his child.
“What does he say?” Catriona asked Benjamin. He smiled at her and Catriona’s heart sank. Antonio decided to go with them.
She bowed her head and gritted her teeth. She knows Antonio intentionally went with them. She knotted her hands enraged.
The last time that they got a drink, Antonio caught her for her actions. At that time Benjamin informed them that he wasn’t single anymore and she acted recklessly. She thought that Antonio was drunk. She grabbed Benjamin and put him on her bed. Antonio was furious after catching her. But Antonio didn’t tell Benjamin because he knows that Benjamin will get mad at Catriona.
“I’m really happy to be with you two,” Benjamin innocently says. Catriona pushed herself to smile.
“Let’s wait for him,” he added.
Antonio arrived and they went to the bar. Benjamin sighed heavily. Until now he can’t contact Kristi, he’s worried about her.
“What’s the matter?” Antonio whispers to him. Benjamin drank all of his shots. He informed Kristi that he went to the bar with his friends.
“I can’t contact my girlfriend,” Benjamin answered. Catriona secretly heard what Benjamin said and smirked. Antonio saw her smirking.
“Maybe she’s busy,” Antonio simply told his friend. He patted his shoulder.
“Maybe she’s busy with something, Benjamin, you don’t know her well, ” Catriona grabs the opportunity to plant a hunch in Benjamin’s head.
“What are you implying Catriona?” Antonio feels disgusted by her attitude.
“You wanted Benjamin to not trust his girlfriend and to trust you, are you for real?” Antonio seriously exclaimed. Benjamin massaged his head.
“I’m not implying something here, it’s been a year since he met her, Benjamin doesn’t know her well, maybe she’s hiding something,” Catriona added and gently put salt to Benjamin’s heart.
“Are you talking about yourself? You and Benjamin grew together but he didn’t know you well,” Antonio sarcastically said.
Catriona gritted her teeth. She wanted to slap Antonio but she stopped herself. She knows Benjamin will not like it if she gets mad at his friend.
“What are you talking about Antonio?” she innocently questions him. She sounded innocent when she said those words.
“You know what I mean Catriona, stop acting innocent here because you were not,” Antonio grabbed his drink and drank it.
Benjamin looked at his friend who was fighting beside him. He looked at Antonio, his cheeks were red because he was angry.
“Stop it you two!” Benjamin reprimand.
Catriona acted like she was gonna cry and hugged Benjamin. She sobs so loud making Antonio groan in frustration.
“You’re the best actress Catriona, you wanted to become an actress! You did a great job,” he bluntly said to Catriona. He stood up and looked at her with disdain.
“Let’s go home,” Benjamin wants to go home, he wants to sleep. Drinking with his friends didn’t help him to calm down.
“But Benjamin,” Catriona whispered. She gnashed her teeth. She wanted to seduce Benjamin but she couldn’t do it if Antonio was around.
“Yeah, let’s go home, there’s nothing enjoyable here,” Antonio agreed and smirked at Catriona. He knows her agenda.
“Benjamin, can you take me home,” Catriona sweetly told him. She acted like she was drunk and gently kissed his neck. Antonio was disgusted after witnessing it. He knows that Benjamin didn’t know that Catriona was seducing him but he wanted to push Catriona for what she was doing on purpose.
“Catriona, stop it please,” Benjamin said. He feels uncomfortable because he imagined that Kristi kissed his neck. In his head, it’s Kristi who’s doing it to him.
“I wanna go home,”
She hugged him tightly again. Catriona feels something is growing on his pants. She feels happy that finally Benjamin is seduced by her actions.
“Come on, man. Let’s go home,” Antonio said bluntly and looked at Catriona who was smirking without her knowledge.
Catriona decided to act like she was drunk again. She pushes her body to Benjamin.
“Catriona you’re drunk!” Benjamin exclaimed. He carried her and put her in the backseat. Catriona was disappointed because she wanted to sit beside Benjamin.
“Let’s go to Catriona’s house first, I want to sleep in your house, man,” Antonio ordered Benjamin. He looked at Catriona’s face sank face.
