He rested his forehead on hers and suggested, “When your feet give up, I don’t mind carrying you while dancing.” Kate fell into a set of laughter. Her eyes gleamed as she suggested, “Don’t we sound cheesy?” “I wasn’t being cheesy. I meant it,” Carlos answered before slightly pushing Kate, urging her to take a turn.

He sled, giving instructions to the security team, leaving the couple to discuss amongst themselves. “So, where to next, Mister Ronaldo?” Kate asked.

Carlos held Kate’s hand and replied, “We go home, have dinner, check our pictures, catch up with everybody’s life.” He leaned in, pressing his lips against her ear, and whispered, “Make out among other things.” Kate susted She felt goosebumps all over her body as she answered, “That sounds like a plan First, let’s drop by the house I need to get something.” “Okay,” Carlos Sald “Bring your dlary with you.” “Why You can’t read it,” kate objected “Please,” Carlos begged “I want to low everything. “I’ll think about II, Mister lade,” Kate responded before they finally left the school grounds
