Falling for red

{14} No strings attached

After maths we all left to go shopping. Danny and Al took Danny's car. Me, Eli and Carter took Carter's car but we were all going to meet up at target. We took two different cars so we had more space for our shopping.

"What do we need?" Eli asked as he sat in the trolley again. I would complain about pushing him around but it works out better for us, the less he can touch the less he can break. Also Al was stuck pushing him.

"Alcohol and a shit ton of it," I said happily.

"Does everyone have their ID's?" I questioned, happy when everyone nodded.

 We each got separate trolleys and filled them with bottles of alcohol except for the one with Eli in. 

"For fuck sake," Carter said as his phone buzzed for the 50th time since we've been here.

"Who keeps on belling you?" I asked.

"Hannah she won't stop."

"Just answer once and tell her to stop," Danny suggested.

"And you think she's gonna listen," he said sarcastically.

"Threaten her. Say you'll break up with her if she doesn't stop," Al said.

"Good idea." He walked off as he answered the call.

Eli looked thoroughly confused. "Carter's fucked and won't break up with her even though he does not like her. He's just staying in the relationship for sex," I explained the situation.

"Why not just have sex with her minus the relationship part. No strings attached."

"Exactly what I was thinking but apparently she gets too 'whiny' and 'only gets off his case when their in a relationship'. Stupid I know," I said mimicking his deep voice.

"That should shut her up for a bit," Carter said when he came back as I just shook my head, knowing if he ever broke up with her his new bird would face the wrath of Hannah.

"Well I think that's enough alcohol. Shall we go pay?" Danny said. 

After we paid we went to PC world and bought 4 massive party speakers that were almost 4ft tall. By we I mean the three musketeers. They offered to pay and who was I to stop them. Although I do want to know why a group of 17/18 year olds have a fuck ton of money. Each speaker was like seven hundred quid!

We decide to put the speakers in my house for the time being and put all the drinks in Carter's house. We had just moved all the speakers into my house when I heard the home phone ring.

"Hello?" I ask curiously.

"Hi honey how are you?" It was my mum.

"I'm alright why are you ringing?"

"Can I not ring my only child and ask how she's doing?"

"You can but I thought you forgot about me considering you've been gone five days and didn't message or call me."

She sighed guiltily. "Sorry I've been really busy."

We stayed on the phone and chatted for a bit. She had apologised a couple more times but I told her it didn't matter because it didn't, I don't mind being by myself and if she is busy with work then she's busy. She also mentioned that Kol was on the business trip with her as they worked for the same company.

I heard someone walk around the corner before I saw them but soon recognized them from their voice when they asked, "What are you doing?"

"I'm on the phone to my mum."

"Who's that? You better not be throwing a party Scarlett."

"It's my friend Carter. Mum you should know I would never throw a party," I said watching Carter's face grow into a smirk. Technically I was throwing a party but it isn't in this house so does it even count. I don't think so.
