Colossal Damage

31. A little piece of the past

"So you're telling us that you and Carter are dating !" Willow explaims . Mags and I bat her shoulders because she is anouncing it to the whole library .

"If the libraian comes , we don't know you ." Mags giggles as she leans in closer to let me finish telling them why they caugh Carter and I lips locked in the parking lot .

"So you reject Joey and somehow manage to get a boyfriend . Damn Miller remind me to come to you when I need to find me a mans ." Willow smirks at me nudging me in the ribs . Willow and Mags walked right into me and Carter after I agreed to be his girlfriend . It was so akward . Staright after we had Chamistry and then they dragged me to the library to explain myself . I hardly see my mum , but these two act like my mum .

"I mean you did move a thousand steps up from Joey . If you know you know ." Yes , and I scored myself a fascinating speciement .

"Shhhh !" The librarian scolds us as she rolls books past us . We give her apologetic smiles and gather our stuff .

"See you guys tomorrow ." I wave at my friends and walk to my car .

Buzz . Buzz .

I check my phone and see I have a message from London .

Miss you x .

I quickly reply with :
Miss you too .

As I stuff my phone in my bag , I feel hands snake around my waist from behind . I jump slightly at the contact .

"Relax ." I feel soft lips kiss my shoulders .

"Is this why you picked this dress ?" I turn to look at my ... boyfriend . That thought makes me smile . He gives me that all to familiar smirk before whispering near my ear .

"Maybe it was part of the plan ." He winks at me . I feel eyes on us . Carter senses my discomfort and takes my hand and leads me to the car .

"I'll stop by later . I have to go fetch my bike from Danny's house ." He lightly gives me a kiss on the cheek and closes my door . The deive home is smooth . Today was a good day .

I make myself a quick chicken sandwhich then settle down on the coach . I take out my phone and sigh .

Hey mom . I miss you and dad ...

I sigh and delete the message instantly . There is no point in sending it . She won't get it . I miss her .

Hey can we call ?

London replies instantly .

Busy .

You would think I would be used to being alone ...
I sadly smile and decide to just put on the TV .

Half way through Thor I hear the rumble of a motorcycle engine being killed . The door opens as few seconds later . Carter waltz in with a huge grin on his face . Know that his my boyfriend will things change between us ? Like I know this is a stupid question to ask myself but ... how would I act around him ?

"Hi Pinky ." He sits besides me .

"Hi ." I blush . I recall I hated that nickname not so long ago .

"What's wrong ?" He takes my hands into his .

"I'm just feeling homesick . Like Today was such a great day . I just wish I had my mom or sister to talk to about it . Sounds stupid I know ." His eyes soften and he pulls me towards his body . My head falls onto his shoulder and my body leans into his . His arm is draped round my waist .

"It's not . You could always tell me about your day ." He tickles my side . I sigh and lean further into him . He lays his head on top of mine and takes my hand and threads our fingers . He smiles at the way our hands look . His large hand covers my small one .

"In case you have not noticed but holding your hand is my favourite thing to do ." He brings our joint hands to his lips and presses a gentle kiss to the back of palm .

"Well since I'm not telling anyone but you about my day I don't have to leave out some parts ." I purse my lips to supress a smile as I think of how my day really started .

"I'm listening ." I can hear the smirk in his voice ...

"Well I woke up next to my boyfriend . He refused to let me get out of bed . He chose my outfit and made me breakfast . He held my hand and kissed me while everyone watched , but he didn't care . He walked me to my car . Then I got home and made myself lunch . Later on in the day , he caught me cheating as I oogled my husband (Thor ) . "I smile up at him .

"Hmmm , sounds like a real good boyfriend to me ." He nuzzles his nose in my hair .

"What do we do now ?" It's a dump question ... I know .

"Well ...I was thinking cuddle my girlfriend until she feels better and chases me back to the store ." I giggle at that .

"We've come a long way haven't we ?" It's been an interesting joureny . An enemies to lovers situation I thought only existed in books .

"You went from refering to me as 'The Crate " to your boyfriend . "We laugh together .

"We've come more than a long way to get to where we are today ." How did all this start anyway ? I mean I hated him not so long ago . I smile as I think about it . I've grown as a person : mind and body . I feel like me . I'm not fully there yet but with Carter in my life I'll be there pretty soon.

"You'll always be my Crate though ." That will forever stick . It's where we started . Where ever we go from here onward I want to not forget everything from the past . The past brought me to where I am now .

"I'll be anything as long as I'm yours ..."

AN: our girl has grown . Who remembers Paris in chapter 1 . She is so different now . I'm a proud mama 😢
