The Dance

Christmas party

So, if you've read my first chapter then you know what's going on with Ben, Carter and me, know to give you an inside look on The whole me and Carter situation, let me tell you about the Christmas party and the one tradition that I love, and how I invited Carter and Mary, and how Carter and traditions are a good mix.

" ya, he arrived about ten, twenty minutes ago, I don't know where he is though, maybe in my room." I said taking Mary's coat into the toy room.

" I feel so small!" Mary said, she was pretty short, " why did you invite us here, anyway?"

" I needed people to hangout with that weren't 42." I said, walking up the stairs to my bedroom, Mary followed.

I turned the knob and peeked in to see if Carter was up there, and sure enough, there he was, sitting on my bed, playing on he iPhone. I opened the door completely and walked in, he looked up and smiled, turning off his phone and sat up.

" hey babe, Mary." he put his arm around me.

I was trying not to blush while Mary made a heart with her hands around us.

" awwww, so cute together!" she said in a baby voice.

I glared at her and Carter looked down, he was blushing, oh my god! Did he like me?!? I looked for an excuse to change the subject or go down stairs, Mary glanced out my door and she looked back, smiling wildly, i was about to ask why she was smiling when my mom called up the stairs.

" Thalia! supper!"

" lets go guys, mom has the most delicious, home baked rolls, we need to get some before they're all gone."

Carter was starting to regain his cool and he was still holding me we were walking out of my room and i glanced back at Mary, she seemed to be trailing purposely, smiling as she kept looking between us and the ceiling. We got the top of the stairs and she froze, smiling even wider, and grabbed the neck of my sweater.

" HAHAHA!!! I win!!" she yelled, she pushed me towards Carter and to stop myself I had to put my hands on his chest, I looked up at him, he caught me by putting his hands on my waist, he looked back down at me. I felt a rush go down through me. After a second my brain began to process what Mary had said, she wins, hmmmmm. A while back she had said something like when she saw me and Carter kiss that she would win some bet with Becca. what had Jayne (my little sister) said she was going to hang on the ceiling....... we looked up and saw, oh no, misel toe. Carter looked down at me again.

" we could, you know, unless, ahh, it, ahh, you know, like makes you, ahh, or something, or, ahh." he stuttered, I giggled at his nervous tone.

" it wouldn't make me feel weird at all." I said with a smile.

He smiled, he looked relived, he leaned in and I closed my eyes, our lips met, our lips fit perfectly together, he kissed me and the rush of warmth spread through my body as Mary giggled at us. After a really, fantastically, long time, we pulled apart and walked down the stairs, he had his arm around me. Mary was behind us starring at her phone, I glanced at the screen and it was a picture of me and Carter lip locked, she was sending the picture to Becca, saying that she won the bet, I didn't care, I turned back and put my head on Carters shoulder as I smelled the great smells of fresh rolls.

So, that was that, me and Carter kissing, I hope that this will help you understand the next part and how controversial it is for Carter.
