Dear Sweetheart,

Huge Mistake

It's been a week since the incident. It's also been a week since Carl met Lara. He sent tons of texts and voice messages but none of it being replied by Lara.

Carl hit the table with his fist to channel his frustration. He had to do something rather than waiting.

He grabbed his black leather jacket from his closet and his car keys before heading out.

---------------------------------

Lara just had a dinner after she arrived at home. She looked at the sky through the window blinds. There's no star and the sky looked darker than usual. It looked like it's going to rain that night.

She sat at the couch with a hot chocolate in her right hand. She flipped through a magazine when suddenly a buzzing sound came from her phone. She saw Carl's name on the screen. As usual, she's only ignores the call. She don't want to get herself involved with Carl anymore.

A thunder crashed outside and the living room was illuminated by the flash of lightning.

Her phone buzzed once again. It was Carl.

'Can I meet you just for a moment? I promise after this I'll go. I'll wait for you outside'

A text from Carl. Lara jumped off from the couch and take a look outside. Carl was standing there, next to his car, outside the building.

Lara was sure Carl will go if the rain started pouring later. She just brushed it off her mind.

Few minutes later, the rain started with a light drizzle. The unsettling feelings made Lara to take a look at Carl and saw he's still standing there.

"Why you're being stubborn Carl?" Lara sighed at the sight of Carl standing in the rain. Maybe he will give up once it started pouring heavily.

Thunders rumbled continuosly and it started to rain heavily. She looked at Carl and he's still standing there without moving an inch.

Lara grabbed her cardigan and an umbrella before heading outside.

When she arrived at downstairs, she saw Carl was shivering in cold. She ran towards Carl. Carl was shocked to see Lara came but he felt relieved.

Lara pulled Carl's hand and walked together to her studio.

When they arrived, Carl was soaked and shivering. Lara quickly grabbed a fresh towel and gave it to Carl to wipe himself.

Lara also turned on the heating system so that Carl can warm himself. Lara headed to bedroom and out with a black t-shirt and checkered pyjama pants. It's belongs to Daniel.

"Change into this. You might get a cold if you stay in wet clothes" Lara coldly passed the fresh clothes to Carl. He just followed and changed into a dry clothes in Lara's bedroom.

He entered the bedroom and can see a minimalist design for the bedroom. His eyes moved to picture frames on the drawer. There's pictures of Daniel and Lara together. His heart felt stings.

After he got changed, he saw Lara at the kitchen, preparing something. He slowly walked to the kitchen counter and took a seat. He put down his wet clothes at the side. His eyes followed Lara's action without a word.

"Drink this. It can warm you up" Lara put a mug of hot lemon spiced tea. Carl carefully blew the drink and took a sip. It does brings warmth his body.

Lara still busy at the kitchen like she tried to avoid talking with Carl.

"How are you doing these days?" Carl put a stop to the silentness between them. Lara abruptly stopped what she's currently doing.

"I'm doing just fine. Nothing change much" Lara turned to face Carl. She also put up an awkward smile.

Carl nodded. He guessed he's the only one who's suffering that much after that incident.

He took a sip of his drink and immediately burned his tongue because he forgot to blow it first. The drink spilled at his shirt and all over the floor.

Lara immediately rushed to Carl to see if he's burning himself that much.

"Are your lips okay? Let me see" Lara took a closer look at Carl's slightly burned lips. His lips was swollen a bit. Lara walked to freezer and got an ice pack. She told Carl to sit as she carefully folded the ice pack with a towel and compressed it on Carl's lips.

Carl let Lara do her things. He's currently wished for the time to stop. Lara was too close with him. Her warm breath grazed softly on his cheek skin.

Carl grabbed Lara's wrist made her to stop moving. He stared into Lara's eyes. When Lara avoided his eyes, he held her chin forcing her to look into his green eyes. Slowly, his hand moved to Lara's waist and gently pulled her closer. Now, she's between his legs. When Lara pushed him away, Carl tightened his grip.

"We can't do this Carl" Lara warned him even her heart beating irregularly right now. She pushed Carl away.

"I know. But I can't resist it. Can you?" his soft voice sent a chilled down to Lara's spine. His hand moved up from Lara's waist to her neck. A slight touch on Lara's skin makes her to grab on Carl's shoulder.

Carl continued to trace Lara's neck. How much he wanted to plant his 'marks' all over that white skin. "Tell me Lara. Tell me how much you don't want me to be here" He whispered. Carl looked at Lara involuntarily closed her eyes over his soft touch. Her eyelashes fluttered as Carl traced down to her slightly bare chest.

He leaned closer and pressed his lips against the Lara's neck, causing her to let out a moan. Felt intoxicated with Lara moaned, Carl continued to run his tongue over Lara's neck and to the skin beneath her ear. His both arms were placed on Lara's hip so there's no gap between them.

"Ha Carl..... We can't..." Lara's voice sounded so uncontrolled.

"No. You can't resist me, Lara. Your body knows it" With no time to waste, Carl leaned forward to kiss her. Her lips tasted so sweet that Carl kept on craving for more. He doesn't felt any pain from his burned lips anymore.

Lara's hand touched Carl's face when suddenly she stopped the kiss.

"Gosh, you're burning" Lara can see Carl's face was so burning red. He must catched a cold after standing in the rain for a while. Lara looked worried as she rested her palm on Carl's forehead.

"It's fine. I promised I won't transfer the cold to you" said Carl then he continued to kiss Lara. He get off from the chair to have more control. Lara wrapped her arms over his neck. She right now have been controlled completely by Carl. They both lost in an affectionate kiss.

Carl moved forward until Lara's back stopped at the wall. He pulled his shirt up and over his head before continued savoring Lara. His lips molded to Lara's while Lara's hands travelled to his bare back. She grazed her nails against Carl's skin. She can't stop this now.

Lara unconciously wrapped her thighs around Carl's waist. A shocked gasp falls from his lips. His hand supported Lara over her thighs. The soft skin of Lara's bare thighs brought tingles to his skin. Just like the way he touched it before.

Lara can feel a slight bulge over Carl's pant. He sucked in breath when Lara constantly rocking her body over him. Lara looked down at Carl with her gray doe eyes when she tucked her hair behind her ear. Her dark long eyelashes fluttered when looking at Carl.

"F*** Lara, I can't stop if you look at me that way" Carl growled. His pupils were so dilated. Next, he brought Lara to the bedroom and slowly guided Lara down so her back lied flat on the bed.

As their lips brushed, Carl gently pulled away, make his way to Lara's neck and planted small kisses before brought his lips back up. His fingers moved to unbutton Lara's top, revealing her in a plain white bra. Carl gently sucked the skin made Lara arched her back. She moved her hand to Carl's hair and tugged it.

The thunder booms outside and echoed off the walls but they were too distracted to care.

Carl's hand moved to the small space between them where Lara's legs were parted. He softly pushed his thumb against Lara's short pants.

"You are so ready for me that I can feel you through this pants" Carl licked his lips and Lara moaned again.

Lara moved her head to the side when she suddenly saw the picture of her and Daniel.

'What I am doing right now? How can I have a s** with other man than Daniel?'

Lara stopped Carl when his hand tried to pull down her pants. She pushed Carl away and jumped off from the bed. Carl was left confused with her sudden action.

Lara pulled her shirt to cover her half naked body. She faced down, trying to hold back her tears.

Carl walked to her and grabbed her shoulder. "Hey, what's wrong?" asked Carl. He's worried if he's hurting Lara in any ways.

"Please leave. I don't want to see you again" Lara still faced down. She don't want to look at Carl.

Carl brought her chin up and can see a clear tears down her cheeks. He wiped the tears away when Lara pushed his hand and walked away from him.

"Please leave. We can't do this. I love Daniel and I can't live if I betray him" said Lara with firm. Carl can't believe his ears. After all that, Lara chose to be with Daniel.

Carl exasperately sighed as he walked out from the bedroom. Lara can hear Carl opened the front door and left.

She put her face in her hands. Tears started flowing heavily, just like the rain outside. She can't imagine if she lets Carl to control her.

What will happen to her and Daniel? She surely can't forget that easily. The guilt rushed inside her.
