Unexpected Love

Part 10

"Well..." I begin, twirling a piece of loose hair as I try to calm my nerves. "Carter kinda came onto me when he lead me to the bathroom..." I look up at him to see his expression, but it's completely blank. No sign of anger, or sadness. "Thomas?" I ask, snapping my fingers in front of his eyes. "He wouldn't do that." He says, not even blinking as I lower my arm. "What? You even said yourself he's an asshole!" I step away from him, feeling the tears well up in my eyes. Why would he think I'd lie to him?

"I said he's an asshole, I never said he'd come onto the girl I like. Carter wouldn't do that to me."

"Well he's not the only asshole at this party," I walk away from him and towards Carter, not bothering to see if Thomas was following me. "Carter, you need to tell Thomas what happened." He looks at me, and smirks, crossing his arms in front of him. "And why should I do that?"

"What's going on?" Thomas says as he approaches us. "Nothing, nothing's going on." Carter says. I turn to face Thomas, and I let all of my anger out. "I can't believe you think I would lie to you! I have no reason to, and I wouldn't want to. Why would I tell you he came onto me if he didn't? To make you jealous?" He looks at Carter, and Carter gives him a confused look. "And you, Thomas was right when he called you an asshole. You had no reason coming onto me like that, you're lucky I didn't tell Thomas when it happened. I know I should've, but I listened to you, and now I regret it."

"Listened to him about what?" Thomas asks. "He told me that if I wanted you to have a good time tonight, then I should let it go. And I listened to him, so then we could actually have fun tonight. But you decided to ruin it by being a total jackass." I turn to walk away from him, but he grabs my forearm and yanks back. He doesn't say a word, he leans in and presses his lips against mine. It was a nice, slow kiss, and his lips felt warm against mine. Once we pull our lips apart, Thomas glances over to Carter. He walks up to him, and pulls his arm back, then launches his fist forward. He connects with Carter's lip, causing blood to ooze out of the corner of his bottom lip. "Don't you ever touch her, or I swear you won't ever be able to walk again." Carter puts a hand up to his lip, wiping the blood as it drips down his jaw. Thomas turns back to me, grabbing my hand and pulling me inside, then out the front door. As we climb into the car, Carter comes out of the front door. Carter walks toward the car, picking up a big rock and smashing a hole in the back window. Thomas exits the car, and slams the door as I watch him charge Carter. "You piece of shit!" Thomas yells as he tackles him, sending both of them onto the rocks of the driveway.
