Chapter 10: All I See Is You 

*** FLASHBACK: During One Of Carlos‘ Highschool Tennis Practices. ***

After tossing the ball up in the air, Carlos‘ knees flexed, and his trunk rotated at a forty–five degree angle in a pro–drop position. “Arrghhh!” He grunted as he hit the tennis ball with his racket in a powerful serve.

The ball landed on the opponent‘s service area, garnering Carlos his last points.

“Game Ronaldo!” The referee announced the win, making Carlos‘ supporters jump in their seats, cheering him on.

When Carlos took the side bench to rest, Kate rushed across the court. “Here, let me get your water.”

“You did such a good job! I‘m so proud of you, Carlos!” Kate squeaked in excitement. She was so happy for Carlos that she unwittingly helped him wipe the sweat off his face. “Kate!” Carlos groaned. “My team is looking at me now.” “So, what?” Kate replied, her eyes wandering to Carlos‘ opponent for that practice match at school. “I can‘t take care of you?”

When she saw Tyler walking in their direction, Kate‘s eyes widened. Carlos may have won this match, but Tyler had that confident walk, that sexy smirk on his face, and that warm aura he gives to most girls at school.

“Nice game, Ronaldo. Too bad you won‘t join the juniors tournament,” Tyler said. “You would have easily outranked me if you participated more often.”

“Junior tournament?” Kate asked Carlos.

“He is talking about the ones from across the state, Kate. I won‘t fly my ass there and spend for tickets and hotels,” Carlos reasoned while wiping his back with a towel.

Kate suggested, “I‘ll tell dad

We are just friends.” Returning her gaze to Carlos, she urged him to back her up. “Right Carlos?” Kate failed to notice how Carlos‘ grip on his towel tightened. He huffed profusely and faintly replied, “Yeah. We are… just friends.” Carlos saw
