He says that my body will remember him.
For a moment when I am hugged up and I look at him, my heart beats violently.
He carries me upstairs.
It isn’t until this time that I come back to my senses. I struggle hard and say, “Let me go!”
“Let go of me. Did you hear me! You are a jerk! Let go of me!”
I beat his chest hard, which is as hard as iron, and even hurts my hands. He doesn’t feel hurt at all. Without a word, he kicks the door open.
The bedroom is still the same as before, as if I never left.
“Remember here? I have fucked you many times here.” James smiles jokingly, and looks down at me in his arms, “Carolina, don’t you really remember?”
Have you forgotten everything here? I don’t know why you don’t remember me, or deny that you know me. I don’t know why you could be so cruel to leave me for so many years. Carolina, I really miss you.” James’s tone is tinged with unknown bitterness.
His face is close to me, the face I have dreamed of countless times before. But at this time I can only say cruelly to him…
“Sorry, I don’t know who the Carolina is. I’m really not her. You are ridiculous. Perhaps you get addicted to me at first sight? It’s so mean to pursue a girl with such a trick.”
I laugh at him.
James smiles and gently puts me on the bed.
The bed sinks. I look up at him on the soft bed.
“Can you really forget me?” James strokes my face lightly with his fingertips.
He touched me in the same way long ago, with great tenderness.
My mind is in a flutter, and I can’t forget it at all.
The past has long been imprinted in my mind, and mingle into my blood and my bones.
I dare not stay here anymore. For James, even though I hate him, I still can’t resist him.
“I’m going home.” I want to get out of bed.
“Do you think I will give you this chance?” James stops me, pushes me hard, and I fall back on the bed.
James looks at me like he is teasing me. His eyes are dim and he slowly unbuttons his coat button one by one.
My eyes couldn’t remove from him, and I even forget to breathe.
“What… what are you doing?” I stammer, shrinking slowly towards the edge of the bed.
James knows how to seduce me, and this is the deadliest.
“Carolina, I have missed you so much for so many years. Don’t you miss me?” James has shown his chest.
A strong, powerful, slightly raised pectoral muscle appears before my eyes.
I can’t deny that he is more attractive than a few years ago.
I blush and look away, so shy that I couldn’t speak smoothly, “Please… please behave yourself! Put… put on your clothes!”
Is James going to seduce me?
There is a slight laughter coming to my ears. I look over and see James pursing his lips to laugh.
My face is even redder. I tug at the sheets with my fingers, feeling embarrassed.
I really don’t know what I am doing now, and I am laughed at by him. It’s so annoying.
“You are still so cute,” James says.
His eyes are like the sea of stars, full of bright and broken shadows.
“What?” I mumble and look at him. I am already fascinated.
If there are not so many things between us, will we always be together? I couldn’t help thinking that James is irreplaceable to me no matter it was before or now, and yet I couldn’t love him. That is the saddest thing for me.
I set too many rules for myself, and with hatred in the middle, it is impossible for me and him to have a happy ending. You can see how reasonable I am.
I look at him in a daze, and sigh silently in my heart.
“Sir, let me go. I’m really not the person you’re looking for.” I suppress my fascinating thoughts and restore to the calm before.
James narrows his eyes and says, “Alright.”
“What do you mean?” I ask a little puzzled.
“It means fine.” James pauses and smiles, “Well, I can wait. There will be ample time.”
“I am Carl Nida, not your Carolina.” I say firmly.
I am no longer who I was before.
“I remember there is a mole on Carolina’s chest. If you aren’t her…” James’s eyes move down from my face.
“Hey! What do you want to do?” I hurriedly guard myself, “Rogue!”
“If you aren’t her, there wouldn’t be.” James says nonchalantly.
“I remember every inch of her body. Her moles, scars, I know every detail.” James’s face is strained.
“So, I have to take a look today. I am sorry.” James finishes speaking and presses me on the bed without waiting for my reaction.
“Rogue!” I curse him, but this is the dirtiest words I can say.
I look at him angrily. James doesn’t have any expression on his face. He tears the clothes off my chest.
“How could it be?” James murmurs disappointedly.
The hope in his eyes disappears instantly.
“Impossible, you two look so alike.”
I hurriedly cover myself with clothes, “Mr. James, are you satisfied? You now know who am I, right?”
A few years ago, I have been preparing for this day by removing everything on my body with laser. It was like rebirth.
“Okay, I see.” James steps down from me, looking sad, “Sorry to offend you.”
“Can you let me go now?” I say, clutching my chest.
James looks back at me, his eyes gloomy, “Your clothes are ragged now.”
I glare at him involuntarily. My clothes are torn apart, and I couldn’t hide anything at all. I can only protect it with my hands.
“I’ll find you a dress.” James gets up and walks to the cloakroom.
When he returns, he is holding the dress I was wearing when he proposed to me on the balcony.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but he does give me this dress.
“Put it on,” James says.
“No.” I say, “I don’t like wearing other people’s clothes. Or do you, Mr. James, miss the old lover? Do you think that I would be her if I wear her clothes, so you can release your emotions?” I say aggressively.
James is irritated when I say something that hurts him. He looks sullen and says, “Shut up!”
“Are you angry?” I smile, “Then we are even. You offended me, I annoyed you, and this is fair.”
I look at him proudly.
James is a little lost and looks at me unblinkingly.
I feel a little strange by his look.
“Let’s call it a day. We have never met before. I have to go.” I say.
After speaking, I turn around without any emotion.
James grabs my hand again.
“What are you doing?” I look at him alertly, and don’t want to stay with him, because I can’t resist him anymore.
The door opens and I go out.
He puts his coat over me, covering my chest, and says, “I’ll send you back.”
“No.” I refuse him without hesitation.
“Come on.” James insists. He immediately takes his keys, and goes out.
I have to follow him behind, looking at his back in trance. It’s been so long, but I still can’t control myself.
The sunlight falls on his body, casting light on him. I can’t believe my eyes are blurry.
The sun must be too bright.
The door opens, and I go out.
“Carl?” Someone calls me.
It is Morley standing at the gate.
I am very surprised and ask, “Why are you here?”
Morley frowns as he looks at my somewhat messy clothes and James’s clothes on me.
“What a coincidence?” James stands beside me, as if we are together.
“I didn’t expect to meet my friend when I come to have an interview.” Morley stares at me. “What a coincidence.”
“Friend?” James says the word meaningfully.
“Do you know each other?” I walk to Morley in a little horror, and pull him. “I don’t know what’s going on today. This gentleman insisted that I was his old friend, and he didn’t let me go. He almost offended me!”
I am not complaining, nor asking for help, but I want to dispel the doubts in James’s mind.
Morley protects me behind him, “Mr. James, what’s the matter? My friend and I have been living in the South State, and she has never been to Sheffield. How could she become your old friend? And, what did you do to Carl?”
“Nothing, just want to see if she is my friend. I’m sorry for what I did.” James looks at Morley with disdain and bows lightly to me. “Miss Carl, see you soon. I am looking forward to our next meeting.”
“Mr. James! She is my friend. No matter what you want to do, you will not have your way!” Morley is very nervous to protect me. I pat his arm to assure him that I’m fine.
“Your friend?” A hint of displeasure flashes across James’ eyes. “Or your girlfriend? If not, then I have the right to pursue her.”
James casts his gaze on me again, staring at me bluntly.
“Let me introduce myself. I am James, and I am into you. From now on, I will pursue you.”
Morley looks sulky, even a little embarrassed.
James smiles and looks at us, “Miss Carl, please tell me if I can pursue you.”
I am speechless and look at James in a daze.
He curves a smile, still looking domineering.
