No Matter What.. Part 11
I wake up surrounded in warmth and snuggle into it, not even bothering to open my eyes. I let out and yawn before getting settled and starting to drift back to sleep but unfortunately my warmth starts moving from beneath me. Sighing I open my eyes and realize I'm completely under the covers and I was sleeping on Natalie's stomach. I poke my head out and come face to face with the beautiful sleepy eyed Natalie. I smile up at her and lean up to give her a soft kiss before sitting up and stretching.
"I hope you're decent!" I hear Carter yell from in the kitchen as his voice gets closer
I lay back down and pull the blankets around me and Natalie. I look over to see her face flush a dark shade of red. I chuckle and kiss her forehead before pulling her into me so her head is on my stomach and putting the blankets over her head before Carter walks in wearing pajama pants and no shirt as usual.
"Shhhh she's still asleep" I say softly
"I take it last night went well all in all with the date and everything?" he asks sprawling out on the blanket a few feet away
"It was pretty fantastic actually" I say with a smile coming to my lips
"I'm glad to hear. She's a nice girl, you might want to keep this one"
"I know I've been thinking about that quite a lot actually" I say completely forgetting Natalie is awake "She's amazing and I'm not going to let her go as if she was just some other random girl. I've known her for awhile, always enjoyed her company and even envied her from time to time, and she makes me really happy but I don't know if I love her, or will. If we don't end up going to college together or even near each other, if this even lasts that long, then what the hell are we supposed to do? I mean we'd just be getting attached to get hurt in the end so I'm not sure where we'd go with this"
"Don't think about that" he says and takes my hand reassuringly "Wait until the time comes to cross that bridge, until then chill" he says giving me a soft smile
"Thanks Carter" I say smiling back
"Anytime sweetheart" he says leaning over to kiss my cheek
Just then the front door bursts open and our friends come inside making a lot of noise. Natalie pulls the blanket down from her face to look at me in worry. I look over at Carter and see him with the same expression. I sink further down behind the coffee table and pull Natalie closer and put my finger to her lips.
"You guys weren't supposed to be here for another hour" Carter says with surprise after poking his head up from behind the table
"Oh do you have company?" Kathryn asks
"Ummm" he glances down at me for a second before responding "Ya so can you guys go into the kitchen so she can get dressed and stuff?"
They all mumble a sure and I hear them walk away. When we're sure they're gone I throw the blanket over his head and stand up to put on my underwear and tank top as Natalie puts on her underwear and my jacket. We pick up the rest of our clothes and bolt upstairs and hope we don't get caught. When we make it in I lock my door behind us and fall back against it before sliding down to the ground with a sigh. Natalie sits down on the ground in front of me and just stares at me. She takes my hand and laces her fingers with mine and opens her mouth to say something but decides against it and closes it again. I turn my head slightly to the side and watch her curiously. She sighs and leans forward to give me a soft kiss.
"I had a great time last night" she says smiling
"Ya me too" I say smiling back and deciding not to press what's on her mind
