Meeting the Millers

|26| She Walks in Beauty

I hear the sound of a camera shutter, "Delete it" I murmur

"Not a chance"

I open my eyes, "Well at least take another one"

He holds his phone up high and I put my middle finger up before sticking out my tongue, Carter takes a few before putting his phone down. "Send them to me" I get up before walking into his bathroom

One way to describe Carter..... he's an absolute animal. I widen my eyes as I stare at myself in the mirror, my neck isn't even my neck anymore. It's like.... Carters mouth featuring my body, "Damn, I'm good" He says impressed as he appears behind me

"I look like I've been attacked by a mosquito!"

"A sexy mosquito-

"It's not funny" I scoff

"Your one to talk"

I frown, "You gave me three and I've got back scratches" He turns around

"I was showing my appreciation" I defend

"Your a different breed" He says amused

After I showered and coated my neck in foundation Carter and I headed downstairs. I hear Grace's voice as we walk towards the kitchen, "You two took your time" Melissa says amused

Carter opens the fridge, "Carmens a bit of a freak"

I scoff as his mother assesses his neck and his back, "I noticed"

Since Carter wants to play it that way, I decide to show Melissa a photo of what my neck actually looks like underneath all this makeup, she widens her eyes. "It looks like you've been attacked by a mosquito"

"That's exactly what I said"

"You teenagers" She mutters

I then turn my attention to Grace, "Do we still hate Carmen?" I ask

She shakes her head and I reach my arms out, she hugs me and I lift her up. "Why were we ever hating Carmen?" Melissa frowns

"She's leaving" Grace says sadly

Her mother's face softens, "Not forever" I assure her

"Will you look after me again when you come back?"

I look at Melissa before looking back at her, "Of course" I say softly

I hope

"What time are you leaving?"

"Five"

"Six" Carter says

"Five thirty"

"Five forty five-

"Fine"

"Can you do my hair now?" Grace pleads

"Of course I can"

"Nope" Her mother stops us before pointing at the table

"Breakfast first"

Great

I sigh as she heads back into her office, "Yay" I say sarcastically

I'm not even hungry

Grace runs to the table first since food always excites her, Carter and I sit opposite each other. Melissa made pancakes with eggs, cheese and bacon, plus syrup.... There's nothing healthy on this plate

"Don't think, just do" He says knowingly

I pick up my knife and fork before cutting through my food, it's funny because my brain automatically turns into a calculator even when I don't try. "Just curious, how far away will you be?" He then asks me
