Chapter Three: Ross’s P.O.V-
As we all walked to the van I kept Carter close to my side. She looked up at me and smiled.
“I’ve missed being with you,” she hugged me tighter.
“I’ve missed being with you too,” I put both my arms around her and picked her up.
She wrapped her legs around me like she was a little kid. I kept one arm around her mid to lower back and dragged my stuff along behind me. Rydel came over with the camera filming for R5 TV.
“And here’s the happy couple. Reunited at last!” she said the last part with a triumphant tone of voice.
“Del, you make it sound like we’re married.” Carter said.
Rydel laughed and so did I. Carter nuzzled her face into the crook of my neck. I could feel her steady breathing and her cool lips as they touched my skin here and there. I smiled and kept walking till we got to the car. I put Carter down and kissed her nose. She let out an adorable giggle and started to help me put my things in the trunk. I climbed into the back seat of the van with Carter following me. I sat down next to the window and she sat in my lap to save space for the rest of the gang. Rydel sat in the back with us and so did Ratliff. When everyone was in dad started the engine and we drove home.
Carter put her forehead on mine and closed her eyes. I kissed her lips gently and automatically felt fireworks. I was somewhat hoping that Rydel was getting this on video. Ya know… show the fans that despite being celebrities we were still humans. Humans that had girlfriends (or boyfriends in Rydel’s case) that we kissed and hugged and messed around with. Carter’s hands began to play with my already messed up hair just as I put my hands on either side of her face.
“I feel so awkward right now,” Ryland said.
“Avert your eyes Ry this could go on forever.” Rydel said.
“Um… Ew,” Ratliff said.
“I’m older than Rocky and Ross and I still don’t have a girlfriend.” Riker said.
“I have Taylor but he lives in Texas.” Delly said.
You heard right. Rydel and Taylor were dating as of the last day we were in Texas. They shared a somewhat mushy goodbye at the airport just before we left… I hope Carter and I didn’t look like that. Anyway they were making the long distance thing work better than I’d ever seen before (which was nice for Rydel).
“Dang their still going!” Ryland said “I hope he doesn’t swallow her… He’d be pretty upset about that.”
Carter pulled away laughing.
“Dude, we haven’t seen each other in five months… We have A LOT of kissing to catch up on.” I said.
“Ok, TMI guys,” Riker said, laughing.
“If you had a girlfriend you’d understand.” I said.
“I’m the only person who doesn’t have a girlfriend.” Riker sighed.
“Not true,” Ryland said “I still don’t,”
“I know some girls who would love to go out with either one of you.” Carter said.
“Really? Who?” Riker and Ryland asked together.
“Well Camila’s boyfriend Ethan has a sister named Andy… I think she’d be pretty perfect for Ryland.” She said to them.
“What about me?” Riker asked.
“My friend Hanna has an older sister name Freya. She’s about your age and she hasn’t had a boyfriend since sophomore year… She’s 20… Anyway my dad is having a party Saturday and he invited them and their families. Dad didn’t think you’d make it back in time but since you did would you guys like to come?” Carter asked.
