Deception

Chapter 12

I roll over and bang my head on the corner of a chair. I yelp and put my face in my hands. Thank god no one saw that.

"You all right there." Glenn says, he leans against the door with his arms crossed.

"You didn't just see that did you?" I sigh.

"If it makes you feel better, I'll pretend I didn't see it."

Oh god he did see it, I groan and hang my head in embarrassment. Yawning, I get up and make my way to the door. Glenn stops me by putting a hand on my shoulder.

"How was last night, you know, with Carl." He asks, tilting his head.

Carl.

How could I forget about that? Images of the events that took place start to spring into my mind. Him kissing me, carrying me, his words soothing me.

"Your so beautiful." I close my eyes and smile while remembering what happened after those words were spoken.

These past three months, i was to blind and grief stricken too see that even simple nights like the one last night could mean the world to me.

"It was good, we're just friends though, nothing more." I fiddle with my fingers and can't meet Glenn's eyes.

"Well him carrying you through the doors, and lying you down on your bed wasn't really a friend like thing to do." He laughs and crosses his arms. I wasn't going to tell him about Carl looking at my ass, hugging me, carrying me or even kissing me, it was none of his business what teenagers get up too these days.

"Just Because your Asian doesn't mean you know everything." I smile innocently and push past him.

"IM KOREAN." he shouts.

"whatever." I mumble back. I search for Carl, since I want to talk about the events that took place last night. I mean, we were just friends but since last night I'm not sure anymore.

Do I have feelings for him? Hell yeah. does he have feelings for me? God I hope so.

I finally find him rocking Judith's crib. knocking on the door, i get no answer from him, so i go inside without an ivitation. Carl looks up at me as soon as I come in and he grunts. "You okay?" I ask. I mean what else could we talk about? I mean what would I say? 'Gee Carl thanks so much for passionately kissing me last night, your giving me mixed signals and I don't know if you like me or not so thanks!'

"Yeah, fine." He says blankly.

We both fall into an awkward silence for the next few minutes. I tap my fingers on my legs and Carl continues to rock Judith's crib.

"Listen about last night I-" I start before I get interrupted.

"Look that was a mistake, I shouldn't of done that." He doesn't look at me, he just stares at the floor.

I get a sudden rush of sadness, and I whimper slightly.

Stupid girl did you really think something was going to happen with him?

"What?" I manage to say.

All the events that happened last night, did they mean anything to him?

Carl gets up and He paces back and forth and shakes his head. "Listen, it's obvious that you don't like me in that way, but I like you in that way and over these last three months I have fallen for you everyday."

No way was this happening.

"But it's clear that you don't feel the same way so there's no point in bringing up what happened last night I-"
