Episode 19

Given that your request revolves around rewriting a work not provided in English, it's essential to note that this request involves creating an entirely new translation and work while maintaining narrative structure. Below is a rewritten version of the provided text in English, in a similar style and paragraph structure to the original:

"Cameron" I say as he places my hand on his groin, pressing gently to tease him.

"You're too much!" he utters without breaking our gaze.

"I've learned from the best" I bite my lower lip, his eyes drift from mine to my lips.

"Damn it, Jacqueline, don't tempt me or I'll take you right here" he licks his lips, an urge to kiss him overwhelms me"I want to bite those lips" he whispers hoarsely, and I think I'm melting just hearing him.

Cameron, this isn't why we came here— My heart is racing— You wanted to talk.

"We could always do that later" He brushes my hair behind my ear, his touch feels incredibly right.

I swallow hard, feeling his breath on mine; I mustn't give in to desire, I cannot become like him.

"Cameron, please, don't wrap me up in this way; if you really want something with me, there won't be sex for a respectable amount of time" His lips retreat from mine, which were about to touch.

"What? Have you lost your mind, woman?" I’m disappointed; I knew he wouldn't agree. I stand to leave; there's no point in staying.

"Where do you think you're going, woman?"

"I'm leaving. Why should I stay if you won't agree to my terms?"I look at him sadly.

"I didn't say that; just let me process this massive joke you're playing on me. You know it's going to be tough to be with you, but not with you" he clarifies, and I sit back down to listen.

"I understand, but this is the only thing I ask. If you really want me in your life, you'll accept it; if not, don't bother looking for me again."

"And you think you can get rid of me so easily with that stupid clause? That's a piece of cake" he says, not entirely certain.

"You can't do it with anyone else either" He looks at me intensely with those gorgeous blue eyes.

"Damn, now you've really screwed me over" He bursts into laughter.

"Ha, so funny; now you're a clown?"

"Your clown" He gives me a quick kiss. I know it'll be tough for both of us; together, we're like dynamite.

They bring our food, and Cameron looks so calm I thought he would curse me out after what I said, but he surprises me. I’m very comfortable with this new side he’s adopting. I know it’s hard for him since he doesn’t like this stuff.

He has a hand on the table, so I decide to test whether I can believe in this new him. I shouldn’t pressure him, either.

I rest my hand on his, but he just looks at our hands and then at me.

"Don’t you think we look beautiful together, our skin colors? Can you imagine a child of ours?" He rambles, possibly without realizing what he’s saying.

"Kids, Cameron, you're getting ahead of yourself" I interject.

"I just said it for the sake of conversation. It's not as if I'm planning to impregnate you to make you stay" He says with a smile.

"You want to get me pregnant, so I don't leave you?" I'm surprised, thankful I haven’t stopped taking my pill.

"What are you thinking? I’d never do something like that. Though I wouldn’t mind practicing how babies are made" He waggles his eyebrows.

"The food really is good" I shift the topic.

"It’s great; I told you you’d like it. Everything I like is the best" He licks his lips again, looking so sexy and carnal.

"How are they treating you at that place you work?" He asks.

"Really well" I recall the Di Vaio family"Mariano’s parents are lovely, just like Mrs. Jenna."

"Hey, don't mention him" He seems irritated"Tell me, what legal field are you going into or have you chosen?"

"Criminal law" I reply enthusiastically.

"Why? Isn't it sometimes dangerous?" He shrugs.

"I don’t know; I just like it. I believe one day I’ll be a great lawyer and help some innocent who’s been wrongfully accused."

"I love the passion you have for things you like. How did I not see it before? When we were together so passionately, it was because you liked me" He grins mischievously, and I can’t deny I’m dying for him to be with me.

"Jacqueline, you do know my mom will oppose us with all her might. You know our relationship isn’t going to be easy" He speaks with concern.

"I know, since day one that we’ve been together" I sigh.

We finish our meal, and it’s time for me to return to the office.

Before I get out of the car.

"Can I kiss you, is that okay?" He pleads with puppy eyes.

"That you can do" I answer flirtatiously.

He wastes no time and eagerly kisses me.

"I'll pick you up tonight, to take you home" he tells me as he releases my lips.

...

He does as he said and picks me up after work; I hadn’t seen Mariano, whom I really wanted to see. He’s always been so good to me that it feels unfair for him to stay away.

On the way home, Cameron interlaces our fingers—I feel immensely happy, so much so it seems unreal.

In the car, before I get out, he kisses me with such passion, touching my legs, running his fingers through my hair. When he does this, I feel myself melting, as if I won't last long without giving in to his wicked charms. But I must stay strong, not make it easy, let him know it will take effort to have me.

I exit the car feeling flushed from all the kissing and cuddling.

Entering the apartment, my mom is still up waiting for me, looking sad, unused to doing nothing.

"I'm going job hunting tomorrow; I can't stay in this house doing nothing, not contributing."

"I understand, mom. When things get better for me, I'll get an apartment for us to move into."

"So, you're going to leave me alone, bad friends" Complains my friend entering"First, you leave me hanging at the university, and now you say you're leaving, and I'm going to be left alone."

"I won't do that; you know I adore you, come here" I open my arms for a hug.

"I love you too, friend, please don't leave me alone" She looks at my mom"And you, I've already found the perfect job for you."

My mom lights up— Where, doing what?

"There's a restaurant on the corner looking for an excellent cook, and since I eat there every day, I suggested you, and they're going to give you a chance" She yells excited as well.

Both seem like kids, and this time, I join in their celebration.

The next day my mom leaves early to start at her new job, and I get ready to go to the office.

"Good morning" I greet the receptionist, a very pleasant girl; everyone here is agreeable.

"Good morning, Mrs. Di Vaio, how are you today?" I greet my boss in the hallway.

"Good morning, Jacqueline."

I enter the small office they have prepared for me. Truth be told, it seems the previous file clerk wasn’t doing a great job— perhaps that's why they let her go. I always have documents to file both physically and in the database. I love my work. I see all the cases this firm has won, and I’m happy to work for them. One day, I aspire to be as professional as Mariano’s mother; she is incomparable. I’d seize the chance to see her in court, defending or prosecuting someone. I admire her greatly.

She’s also raised an incredible man, Mariano; I’m absorbed in my papers when my phone rings.

"Good morning to the most beautiful woman on the planet" My poor heart is going to stop any moment.

"Good morning" Grinning and more in love than ever"And how are you today?"

"Better now that I’ve heard your voice" I must look so foolish smiling like this.

"That’s sweet, it’s like I’m in a dream; I hope it’s not a nightmare."

"Don’t say that, have a little more faith in your boyfriend" Boyfriend, he hasn’t said we’re dating"Because we are dating, right, my chocolate?"

"If you have no issue, then it's fine by me" I’m jumping for joy inside, just like my friend Kristin.

"Well, we can’t have lunch today, but I’ll pick you up tonight, okay?"

"Sure, see you later, bye boyfriend."

"Bye girlfriend."

"Ahhhhh! I never thought this day would come; I'm so happy it feels like a dream."

During lunchtime, Mariano arrives.

"Hello, Jacqueline, can we talk? It'll just take a moment, if you don't mind."

"Of course, I was about to have lunch; if you want to join me."

"Where were you going?"

"To the cafeteria" I shrug.

"Come on, let’s go to a cafe nearby."

I see no problem with it and go with him.

"You know someone came to my house earlier" I tremble, thinking it might be Cameron, please don’t let it be him...

"I don’t know, tell me?"

"The model Elle Spears" It astonishes me; what could she want there?

"And why was that?" I try to sound unconcerned.

"Jacqueline" He takes my hands, and I pull away feeling something odd, different from Cameron"That woman will do everything to tear you and Cameron apart. She proposed I help her; of course, I refused, I’d never do anything to hurt you" I blink several times"His family doesn’t like you. Are you willing to take that risk to be with him?"

I'm willing to take the risk. I know there’s a chance I could end up heartbroken, wounded, but I want to give myself this chance.
