Carrington

49

Chase sends out the 2 videos we filmed to get edited and we all hang out on the couch.

Dex walks spend getting attention from everyone until eventually dropping down on Carringtons lap has he pets him.

"Anna." Monte asked.

"Yeah?" I turn my head towards him.

"You're really not interested in relationships?" He questions and I feel Carrington shift on the couch next to me.

"Not really, I've been cheated on 2 times and all my situationships ended bad so what's the point." I shrug and Monte frowns.

"You just haven't found the right guy, I know exactly how you feel I was cheated on by my ex then I found Neiima." He motions over to her and I smile at the joy between the two of them.

"I don't know all of that's just hard I've barley spoken to a guy more then a few sentences in months." I laugh and Neiima shot up.

"When's the last time you've had sex?" She says and I sit quiet thinking about the best response. She looks at Carrington who is covering his mouth with his hands trying not to laugh. "Other than him."

"6 months." I say quietly and she jumps off the couch. I turn to Carrington who's now laughing harder and struggling to contain it.

"Girl! What's your body count then?" She says shocked.

I look around the room at everyone embarrassed by my number. Carrington can hardly contain himself before he blurts out, "I'm number 3." He holds out 3 on his fingers with a big smile. I smack him and he yelps. "What? It's a good thing technically."

"Oh fuck off." I roll my eyes.

"So your other two body's are the cheating ex's?" Troy asks and I nod.

"You have bad luck queen." Chase says with a frown.

"I was trying to be celibate." I explain and Chase smiles.

"That's what I am right now." He points to himself with his thumb.

"Get her drunk and she'll fuck the hottest guy there." Carrington says with a proud smile.

"Oh fuck you." I give him a dirty look.

"So you guys are like friends with benefits?" Jackson asks and I shake my head no, "then what are you?"

"Close friends that happened to do things when they were drunk on accident." I explain and Carrington dies.

"You throw yourself at me whenever you're not sober." He says with a proud smile.

"What about that one girl?" Jackson asks Carrington quietly.

"What girl?" Chase turns his head quick to Jackson.

"I don't know." Jackson falls back onto the couch and I look at Carrington suspiciously.

"Well anyways, that's super cute Anna, I was becoming celibate for a bit until I met this guy too." She sits back down onto Monte's lap. He laughs and kisses her cheek.

"Anna do you want to go pick up food with me?" Chase asks looking between me and Carrington.

"Oh, um I don't want to leave Dex behind." I motion to the cat.

"He's fine he has Carrington." He gets up and holds out a hand.

"Okay." I get up and make eye contact with Carrington. He does a slight nod and I smile and follow Chase to the front door.

"I'll drive." He holds up his keys. I nod following him outside. As if he was waiting the second the door closed he turns to me. "Be careful what you say about your relationship to Jackson. He's a great guy really close friends but he's weird about girls and relationships." He explains.

"Okay." I nod. He goes back to walking and we get into the car, "why didn't you have Carrington come?"

"Because Carrington is going to deal with Jackson." He says after a moment of silence as he backed out of the drive way.

"What do you mean?" I question.

"Just tell him to back off, not a big deal." He explains and I smile nodding.

We drive to Chick-fil-A get what everyone wants the go back to the house.

By the time we walk in Jackson is no longer there.

"Hey." I smile bringing bags of food in.

"All good?" Chase asks and Carrington nods.

"That smells so good!" Neiima says happily.
