Our secret

Our secret -chapter 2

Carter's POV

It's Saturday and I'm in some vinyl  shop and I see her she's with one of her friends, Breena. I look back down at the vinyl I'm holding it's a ' The neighborhood vinyl.'
"So you like the neighborhood, huh?" Amara, it's her.
I turn my head to look at her, "Yeah." I answer while laughing.
"Me too," She says while smiling. "I saw you at the game. Why were you there?" Uhm ok I gotta make a good excuse.
"You know I gotta support my school."
She nods. Did I mention? Amara's wearing a nice floral tank top with a pair of jean shorts. She has her hands in her back pockets.
She says, "Ok well I guess I'll see you around." Before she walks away she grabs a 'The Neighborhood' vinyl. I watch her as she walks away and checks out. I'm probably going to buy the same vinyl. I head to the cash register and pay. Once, I finish paying I leave the store,get in my car, and head home. I live with my older brother that's 24 years old. He takes care of me because my parents were alcoholics and I was taken away because they were shit. My brothers name is Parker and he's a pretty fucking great big brother. When, I get home Sadie's in the kitchen, she's my brothers girlfriend. She's pretty chill. I know she's probably only here because Parker has work  today.
"What's up?" Sadie asks.
"Not much. You?"
"I'm making myself a sandwich."
"You should lowkey make me one."
"Fuck that. you make one yourself." She finishes making her sandwich and goes back to my brothers room. I head to my room and grab my skateboard.
I yell, "Sadie I'm leaving!" Then I leave.

Amara's POV

Me and B are having a sleepover. She's driving us to her house. Sleepovers with Breena are the best. We haven't had a sleepover in forever. When, we get to her house we go straight to her room.  We sit on her bed and talk about random bull.
"So do you like anyone from our school?" She asks me.
"No. What about you?"
"Yes," She mutters.
"Who?"
"Nick Prescc," she finally spits out.
"Omg you like Nick!!"
"Shhh keep it down my mom's here," she shushes me.
"Oh B did you hear about the bomb-fire Ethan is throwing?" I ask her.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Wanna go? Nick is going to be there,"
"Hmmm maybe."

The night goes on with me and B talking about stupid shit.

Carter's POV

So Ethan is throwing a bomb-fire and asked me to pick some stuff up for him and me being me I said yes. So I'm in the chips aisle.
She's here.
"Didn't know you liked 'Takis,' Amara."
She laughs. It makes me feel good that I was the one that made her laugh.
"So you going to the bomb-fire tonight?"
"We'll see."
She walks off, with a bag of 'Takis.'
I wonder to myself what it would like to be able to call her "mine."

There's so much fucking kids. So much. The first person I'm looking for is her.
"What's good Carter!" Nick Prescc says. I've known him since I was like 5 years old. He is a really nice guy.
"Hey." I say smiling.
"Want a drink?" He asks me.
"Sure." He grabs me a beer and I thank him for it.
I forgot to mention this bomb fire is somewhere in the woods. I wonder off into the woods where I find a river. I sit on the ledge.
"Hey." Someone says from behind me I can already tell who it is by her voice.  Amara.
"Shit you scared me." She laughs "what's up?"
"Is this spot taken?" She asks.
"No," She sits down next to me, pretty close. To where our thighs are touching.
"So what are you doing here by yourself? You don't have a girlfriend our someone special?" She asks me. I take a swig of my beer and turn my head to look at her, "I'm not dating anyone."
"Oh." She looks down at her converse.
"What about you?" I ask her.
"Nope no one." Damn if that doesn't make me feel good.
"What are you doing out here? Your friend didn't come?" I  look at her and she looks at me.
"She did but she's kinda trying to talk to nick and I like your company, Carter." A piece of her hair falls in her face. I reach over and tuck it behind her ear. My hand goes along her jawline all the way to her chin. Her breath hitches. She's wearing a pink tank top, some denim shorts, and some converse. She is so beautiful. Like the type of beautiful where she could flash one of her smiles and all the guys would be after her.
"Thank you," I thank her. I really like really feel like kissing her. I wonder what her lips would feel like on mine.
"I'ma go check on my friend and grab a something to drink," She mutters. She stands up and dusts her shorts off. "Want anything?"
"No I'm all good."

And she leaves.

Amara's POV

What the actual was I thinking when I followed Carter in the woods? If I hadn't gotten up he probably would've kissed me. What the hell. I'm sitting on a log holding a drink. I'm staring at my converse. I really did mean it when I told Carter I liked his company.
"Hey Amara," I lift my head to see who said hey to me. It's Carl Denson. I'm pretty sure the only reason he knows my name is because he's on the football team, wide receiver.
"Hi," I say.
"What're you doing?" I think he's drunk because his cheeks are flushed.
"Nothing," I reply.
"Wanna make out?" He asks me. I laugh.
"Yeah no thank you."
"Aww come on. Why not?"
"Look no offense but I'm not into you."
"Bitch." He mutters as he's walking away. I'll be damned if I let a fucking dumb douche call me a bitch.
I stand up and go after him. "What the fuck did you just call me?"
"Stop acting crazy."
"No, what the fuck did you just call me?"
"Look you fucking idiot I called you a bitch." I laugh in his face. Next thing I know my fist is colliding with his face.
"What the fuck!" Carl yells. And someone comes up from behind me and pulls me off of Denson.
"Calm down Amara," the person that has their arms around me mutters. It's Carter.
"You're a crazy bitch!" Carl yells out again. Maybe I shouldn't have punched him but he deserved it.
"What the hell happened here?" Breena is asking. Her and nick look like they just made out because he's right behind her. Her hair also looks a little crazy but that could also be because she's drunk.
"Your crazy ass friend hit me in the face for calling her a bitch," Carl tells B. She laughs.
"Damn Amara nice shot!" She gives me a high five. Carter finally lets go of me.
"Need a ride?" He asks.
"Didn't you drink tonight?"
"I had one beer and that was like a couple of hours ago."
"Yeah." I say goodbye to breena and nick and then me and Carter leave.
"Damn Carson I didn't know you could throw down," He chuckles. I like his laugh.
"Never underestimate a girl, Carter James." He laughs again. I really do like his laugh. It definitely needs to be heard more often.
"Does your hand hurt?" He asks.
"It's all good some ice would be nice though." I stare out the window. Oh shit shit my parents are going to kill me.
"Carter?"
"What's up?"
"Look I know this is gonna sound pretty bad but my parents are going to kill me. Can I stay at your place please?"
"Sure. My brother is probably there with his girlfriend. My parents are alcoholics so they don't live with me and my older brother."
"Sorry about that. Oh and don't tell anyone, anyone about this."
"Ok I won't."
"Promise me."
He laughs, "I promise I won't tell anyone."
When we get to Carter's house he unlocks the door and there they are, carters brother and his brothers girlfriend, watching a movie. Carter looks just like his older brother. His brothers girlfriend is a Asian tall girl, she isn't as tall as her boyfriend though. She also is very gorgeous.
"This is Amara, Amara this is Parker and Sadie,"
Carter introduces us and then he continues. "By the way she is just my friend nothing more."
"Ok," They both laugh. They're a very cute couple.
"Hi Amara," Sadie says.
"Hey."
"Cmon Amara." Carter grabs my hand and leads the way. He takes me to a bathroom.
"Let me see your hand."
"All I need is ice Carter get me ice." He grabs my hand. Wow his hands feel very nice I wish...
"I'ma go get you some ice. If you want you can head to my room it's all the way down the hall to your left." He goes and gets me ice and I go to his room.

Carter's POV

Amara is staying at my place for the night. It's going to be pretty hard trying not to kiss her. I wasn't going to be a dick and tell her she couldn't stay with me though.
