Falling for red

{55} Cheating

"Alex and Daniel stay behind after class," Carson said. Me and Carter looked at each other in confusion while the other two just smirked.

The bell rang and they walked up to his desk while Carter and I trailed behind them like the nosy people we are. 

"What are you guys doing?" I asked seeing them all whip out their money.

"I won. Give me your money bitches," Al smirked. Carson and Danny reluctantly handed two hundred dollars over to Al, each.

"I really thought they weren't going to be together by at least March," Danny muttered.

"Did you guys bet on when we would start dating?" Carter asked while I was still completely clueless.

"Yeah. I knew you would be all lovey dovey before Christmas."

"We are not lovey dovey," I scoffed. They all waved off my comment.

"How did you know I even liked her?" Carter asked looking baffled.

"It was so obvious," they all said.

"But I thought you two would be together sooner. Fucking made me lose two hundred bucks," Carson grumbled.

"Well maybe you shouldn't be betting on us like you're a child. You're 30," I chastised.

"You need to mind your business."

"It's literally about me-"

"Not just you," Carter cut in.

"Don't I get a cut?" I asked.

"Did you put in a bet about when you would be Carter's girlfriend?" He asked rhetorically.

"No," I said moodily.

"Then no," Al said sticking his tongue out at me.

"Very mature," I scowled at him.

The door slammed open and Eli entered running around like a headless chicken.

"Someone hold me arse! My shit is about to come out," he screeched.

"Go to the fucking toilet," Carson said but Eli ignored him and managed to squeeze his way between us so he was standing in front of Al. He then proceeded to jump ten fucking feet in the air so when he was coming down Al had no choice but to catch him by the arse.

"Have you seen the state of these toilets?" Eli shivered in disgust.

"Well your not going to shit in my fucking hands so go shit somewhere else. Before you start I don't give a fuck where, just not here," Al grumbled.

"Can I use staff toilets?" Eli asked Carson.

"And have your diarrhoea all over the walls. I think the fuck not," Carson snorted.

Eli let out a long fart that sound more like a shart than anything else.

"I think I just shit myself," he whispered, eye widened with alarm. For context Eli's arse was still in Al's arms. 

"Run," Al gritted out.

I froze at the scene before me. Carter's head was tilted back as chuckles escaped him while Al and Danny sat on the other side of the table. That was all fine except for the girl sitting next to him. Considering he practically hates everyone I couldn't help but feel jealous that he was laughing with this girl, who was very pretty.

I tried not to let it show as I went to our table. Although I couldn't help but be petty and sit opposite Carter, in between the boys.

"Why aren't you sitting next to me?" Carter asked.

"No space," I said nodding my hair at the girl sitting very close to him. My grip on the lunch tray tightened when I saw her hand crawl up Carter's bicep.

I glared at both of them until I saw Carter push her hand away. Seems like she couldn't take the hint because next her hand was in his hair. 

"I've already told you once fuck off," Carter grumbled.

"Who the fuck is she?" I asked.

"Who the fuck are you?" She asked back.

"His girlfriend," I snapped.

"Really?"

"Really," I confirmed with a patronizing smile.

I looked around the room trying to distract myself when I heard Danny whisper, "Holy shit."

Then Al said, "The lion, the witch and the audacity of this bitch." I looked at them and she was in his fucking lap and they were kissing. I expected Carter to push her off immediately but he hadn't so I could only assume he was kissing her back because from this angle I could only see her. I jumped over the table and dragged her away from him.

"I really don't have time for this," I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose. I sent a hard punch to her temple and the was enough to knock her out before I stormed off. I was still angry and didn't want to let it out on anyone else, even if they deserved it. Cough cough Carter.

I walked towards the library, not many people went there, but I heard steps behind me. I turned around to see Carter's stupid fucking handsome face. Why did he have to be so good looking? Also why can't people just respect that we're in a relationship?

"Red wait up."

I stopped, turning around with a bored look.

"What do you want?"

"Why did you run off?" Is he taking the piss? I looked at him with raise eyebrows, seeing if he  was being serious.

"Hmm I don't know maybe because I don't enjoy seeing my boyfriend kissing someone who isn't me because heads up I'm your girlfriend if you didn't notice."

"I didn't kiss her."

"Sure as hell looked like it. The audacity of you to do it on front of me as well. If you don't like me just fucking say it no need to put on that whole show. I mean what the fuck Carter! Cheating? Right in front of me?" The reality of what he had just done had sunk in and tears had started to form.

He stormed up to me before I could run away and he grabbed my jaw. "Red you were there, you saw it yourself I didn't kiss her. Why are you getting so upset?"

"Why didn't you push her off you straight away?" I asked closing my eyes so he wouldn't see me cry.

"I froze up. I didn't expect her to kiss me."

"Who was she?"

"Fuck if I know. Some random smelly bitch."

"Why were you laughing with her then?" He chuckled at my question making me narrow my eyes.

"I wasn't laughing with her. I was laughing at her. Al said something stupid about her." I pursed my lips and nodded, feeling embarrassed that I got so emotional so quickly. I'm on my period blame her not me.

He backed me up until my back touched the wall behind me and lifted my head with his hand that was cupping my jaw. "I wouldn't cheat on you Red. Not now, not ever," he said pressing his body against mine. "Okay?"

I let out a small, "Okay."

"Louder Red," he ordered bending his head so he was closer to me.

"Okay," I said more confidently. "You didn't kiss her?"

"I didn't kiss her," he confirmed bringing a small smile to my lips.

His lips brushed against mine as he whispered, "I'm yours. Don't forget that." He didn't give me anytime to reply before his lips were on mine.

I love him.
