Gang Romance

3: No! I'm just his friend

I widened my eyes, shocked and took a few step back. He noticed this and his angry face turned into a concern face.

"Sorry. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" He asked, taking a step towards me.

"I don't know. I was just surprised. And I'm sorry that I forced you to tell me about that picture. I was just curious. Look, I-" he quickly interrupted me.

"It's fine. And I'm sorry, too. I was just mad about my father. I haven't actually told anyone about my father, really." He said, almost a whisper, while walking to his bed and sitting at the edge of it.

It looks like he really needed a hug. So without thinking, I walked towards him and took his hands on mine.

"I know it really is none of my business, but I just wanted to say it's your father's loss. He made the biggest mistake by leaving you and your mom. I know I haven't met her yet but I can tell that she is a really sweet person and she didn't deserve that, and you too." I tried to comfort him, not knowing if my words did.

He looked intently in my eyes while I speak. Sometimes looking at my lips, how I talk to him maybe, but mostly on my eyes. He tried to lean over, but I quickly hugged him, interrupting to whatever he was trying to do.

"Thank you.." He whispered. And I can hear the smile on his face, and hugs me back.

We stayed like that for a couple of minute, but we pulled away once we heard a knock on the door.

He stood up, blushing and opened the door. He's blushing? It's kinda cute.

"Oh, hi mom" he greeted his mom, standing in front of him, while smiling too.

"Hey, I bought you someth-" she immediately stopped once her eyes fell on mine. I stood awkwardly, behind Carson, feeling embarrass for interrupting them.

"Hi. Um.. My name is Crystal Jensen, a friend of Carson." I said, lifting my arms up, assuming she would shake it.

She narrowed my eyes at me. What did I do wrong? Um.. This is awkward? "Let me guess, you're a slut, and trying to do it with my son?" She glared at me. What?! Do I look like a slut to you? I wanted to say loudly but I was trying to be respectful. And I really thought she was sweet.

I widened my eyes "No! No! I'm just his friend and I came here just to do a project. I wasn't trying to do it with him and trust me, I don't want to and never will." I quickly said.

She tries to say something but Carson interrupted "Mom." He warned, looking at her that said something behind it.

"I'm sorry. I just thought you were one of those whores. And by the way, I'm Karen. I really am sorry." She apologized, cheeks red. She looked down at the mess Carson made and gasped. She walked towards it and looked carefully at it.

"Why did you break this?" She asked, looking so vulnerable. I just wanted to hug her too even though I just met her and she thought I was a slut. But, she apologized anyways.

"Mom. I don't wanna talk about it." There was something on Carson's voice when he said it.

Her mom noticed it too and quickly smiled, well fake smile, I guess. She must have really loved her husband. "I made cookies." Okay, it's official I like her.

We went downstairs and ate cookies. Carson and I went upstairs and finished the project. It's nearly 7:00 and I was tired.

"Well, I'll see you at school then?" I said, getting up, and preparing my stuffs to go home.

"Um.. Do you w-want to go out for a while?" He said, stuttering and looking nervous. I was shocked and trying to think whether he just said that or not.

"Where?" I asked, biting my lip.

"I don't know. Anywhere? Just out there somewhere." He said.

"Why?" I tried not to ask, but I really wanted to know. Like why would a guy wanted to hang out with me? Especially like him. Only Wesley would hang out with me.

"Nothing. I just wanted to get to know you." He smiled at me. Again. He's nicer than I thought.

"Well okay?" Smiling back at him.

"Really?" He asked, eyes twinkling.

"Yeah." I simply said, walking towards the door.

"Let's go!" He excitedly exclaimed, fist bumping the air. We went outside and went to his car.

We went to our destination, silently. Not an awkward silent but a comfortable silent.

When we reach our destination, I gasped. It's a carnival that I never saw before, probably because I never been in any of the carnival.

"Wow! I really wanted to go to a carnival." I said and meant it. I really wanted to go to a carnival since I was little. But I never been in any one of it because we never found one and some of the carnival were too far away to our place. Not in the place we are living to but the place we lived in before.

"Cool." He said, uninterested and got out of the car. Okay then...Bi-polar?

We played some stuffs in the carnival and he won me a big stuffed bear, rode some scary but fun rides, we ate cotton candy, funnel cakes and more. We usually went to more rides though. And Carson almost puked cause he ate more than he was supposed to and rode a roller coaster. I laughed at him. And we went around the carnival while holding hands, I didn't seem to notice till now. I pulled my hands away, he noticed and stuffed his hands in his pockets, immediately.

It's already 10:45 and I'm already tired. I told Carson that I wanted to go home. We went to his car and I fell asleep.

Carson's POV ❤️👌😊

She's asleep. I want to wake her up but it looks like she's really tired. She looks so peaceful. The way her lips parted, and snoring sounds comes out of it is kind of adorable. I went out of my car, and went to the other side. I picked her up in my arms and went to her house. I knocked the door, by my feet, lightly, trying not to wake her up.

She moved a little bit, but didn't wake up. Good...

The doors open, revealing an angry brother, I think, and immediately asked me a question I knew he would ask.

"Where was she? Why is she with you? Why is she asleep? Why is she in your arms? Why-" Okay I didn't think that much of a questions but I quickly interrupted him.

"She was at my house to do a stupid project and went to a carnival with me. She was so tired, she fell asleep." I said.

"Well..come in. And as soon as you drop her at her bedroom, leave." Her brother said, directing me where her bedroom was.
