Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 141

At midnight, Carla felt someone holding her in her sleep. She half opened her eyes and glanced across. Then closed them again and went back to sleep.

Terence crawled into her bed again, leaving his own luxurious room to be with her.

It was hard to change the habit.

She was used to him crawling into her bed at midnight, so she closed her eyes and continued to sleep not arguing with him.

Terence spooned her pulling her close to his body.

One hand was under her neck and the other on her waist.

He slipped his hand under her pajama top. It felt much nicer to feel her silky smooth skin beneath his hand.

He slept in Carla's room so often that Nathan soon stopped being concerned about the whereabouts of Terence, as he knew that he was in Carla's room when he wasn't in his own.

The next morning, Terence and Carla took Sean to Ice Kingdom.

The Ice Kingdom was an underground castle made from real ice. It was said that it took hundreds of workers five years to complete this magnificent piece of art.

"Carla, Terence. Can I play in the maze?"

Sean was well rugged up with a heavy down jacket. He pointed to the sign with a picture of a large iced maze.

"Okay, you can have whatever you want today. Let's go to the maze." Carla was also wearing a heavy jacket, looked at the sign and began to walk there with Sean holding him by the hand.

Terence was wearing a dark green down jacket. He followed closely behind.

Nathan and Rainer were in charge of carrying the bags and protecting them as usual. They followed as well.

"Carla, you don't need to hold my hand. I can find the exit by myself faster," . Sean said itching to try on his own. Carla grabbed him so he couldn't run off.

"Sean!"

Carla didn't feel confident to let him go by himself. She was afraid of losing him since the maze was bigger than she imagined.

Terence walked over and took Carla's hand. "It's okay. Let him go."

Then, he turned around and said, "Nathan, follow him. Make sure he doesn't get lost."

Nathan handed the bags to Rainer and quickly followed Sean.

Knowing that Nathan was taking care of Sean, Carla felt at ease.

"Carla, it normally takes half an hour to get out of the maze. Come, l'll take you to somewhere else, a better place," said Terence while he held her cold hand in his. They headed back away from the maze.

"A better place? It's ice all over. How can you find a better place?"

said Carla breathing out white smoke and hugging the jacket closer to herself.

Ice Kingdom was actually a display of delicate ice carvings. People came here for the feeling of freshness and for cooling down in the hot summer. Other than that, there was nothing much interesting.

Terence grabbed her hand, turned several corners and walked into a place where few visitors came. At the entrance, he ran the card and the staff let them in.

Rainer waited outside.

When they went in, Carla was amazed at what she saw.

"Wow! It's so beautiful!"

The whole room was made of ice, the windows, the bed, the wardrobe, and everything. Everything, was made out of colorful ice.

The bed could actually be slept on because it was covered with a thick fluffy blanket. The floor was also covered in fur rugs, which was warm enough to walk on in bare feet.

Carla opened the closet and found everything necessary in there, even— a box of Durex.

Though it was cold, the atmosphere was romantic, so maybe some people came here to have sex.

"Terence—."

"Shh—Quiet."

When Carla turned around to call him, Terence put his finger to his mouth signaling her to be quiet. He took her hand and led her to an ice wall and leaned against it.

She didn't know what he was up to, but soon she heard something that made her blush.

She poked at Terence and glared at him whispering, "You brought me here just to hear that?"

On the other side of the wall, a couple was having sex in spite of the coldness. They were making quite a bit of noise, especially the woman.

"Of course not. I brought you here to have a rest. We just happened to run into this," said Terence holding her in his arms and kissing her on the forehead. Then he sat down on the bed.

"Carla, promise me one thing," he said suddenly.

Carla was stretching her legs while she was sitting on the bed and then looked up at him.

"What thing? Why are you so serious?"

Terence looked at her and said, "Don't go back to BH City. Stay here with me."

He knew that he had to talk to her before it would be too late and she would already have her own ideas.

"But, I planned to transfer Sean after he finishes elementary school," said Carla, lowering her head. Carla did already have her own plan.

"It's the same. Sean has been here for one month and he has got familiar with his classmates. Besides, the education is better here. Carla, please consider it, for me, okay?"

Terence lifted her chin up and made her look at him, imploring her, "Carla, BH City is too far away. If I want to see you, I will have to travel a long way and I can't leave JA City for long periods of time. Please think about it. For me, all right?"

Carla stared into his sparkling eyes which reflected her own image.

"Let me think about it."

Apart from when she would lose her temper, Carla was usually a calm person and wouldn't rush into a decision impulsively. Especially when it came to making a big decision like this.

When they were talking, they suddenly heard a pleading voice from the next room.

"William, I'm exhausted. Can you, stop and let me go?"

The voice sounded familiar to Carla.

If she could hear it more clearly, she could tell who it was.

" Violet, I thought you wanted more since you held my waist so tight,"

the man said, out of breath.

Hearing the two names, Carla was so surprised that she stared wide-eyed. 'Violet?'

The woman that was screaming and moaning in pleasure next door was her friend, Violet.

Seeing Carla taken aback, Terence laughed. "Carla, is she your friend?"

Judging from her surprised look, he was right. His memory always served him right. When Carla came to JA City for the first time, he met her once then.

Carla nodded. Never did she think that she would be in such an awkward position. To be with her boyfriend while she listened to her friend having sex next door.

"Let's go, or I'll be turned on." Terence sighed ready to go.

Seeing Carla still sitting on the bed, lost in a trance, Terence leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Carla, Carla?"

"What?" Carla came back to her senses hearing Terence call her and got out of the bed.

Her face was flushed and seemed unnatural.

"Tell me, what were you thinking about?" asked Terence as he suddenly grabbed her shoulders.

He was curious why she was blushing like that.

Where did her little mind wander off too?
