Italian Food

Chapter Five

I stood by the door just thinking about what I had just done. I prayed that Harry wouldn't tell anyone about Nona. I shut the door and walked back into the living room with Nona and Carson.

"We're going to go get some hot chocolate at the cafe right by my house would you like to come with us?" Carson asked.

"Yeah. Thanks." I responded. I wasn't hurting as much as I felt bad, I had led Liam on. We walked back to Carson's house, with Nona making silly jokes the whole time. I instantly felt better when we climbed into the car and drove to the cafe. When we got there, Carson ordered hot chocolate for all of us. We sat down at a table together and Carson pulled out his phone.

"I found the perfect little apartment for us." Carson said excitedly.

"Oh, where?" I asked scooting closer to him and looking at his phone matching his enthusiasm. Nona was on my lap and looking at his phone as well.

It was a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment, it had a small park across the street and it was only 10 minutes away from where me and Carson were accepted to work. We were moving to Ireland, as that had always been my dream. Carson was so sweet and alway tried to do whatever he could to make sure Charlotte and I were happy.

"I love it!" I said.

"Me too!" Nona screamed into his ear.

"Good, because I put a down payment on it already. We can move in as soon as next week."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously. We should probably go pack."

"Oh my god! Carson this is amazing!" I said leaning on his shoulder.

"I'm glad you like it." he said with a smile. We finished our hot chocolate and drove to the moving store to pick up boxes and then headed to my house to drop Nona off with Jane for the evening so that Carson and I could pack. As we drove back to his house it was silent until Carson spoke up, "Do you want to get some take out while we pack?"

"Sure. That sounds great. How about Chinese?" I said turning to look at him.

"Sounds delectable." Carson said with a small grin.
I began to laugh and soon he joined me.

"I'm pretty funny right?" He asked as he pulled up to the Chinese restaurant.

"So funny." I said unbuckling and stepping out into the cold. I was soon joined by Carson who swung his arm over my shoulder.

"I got into accepted to take online classes with that college we talked about in Ireland." Carson said as we walked into the small place.

"That's great! I still have to take my GED. But after that I can go to any college I want."

"Amazing! Soon we'll be real adults." Carson said throwing his head back and laughing.

"You're 19 I hope your a real adult." I said joining in his laughter.

"I mean, we can give Charlotte all the opportunities she needs." Carson said before looking over the counter and ordering for us. We sat down and waited.

"I know. I'm happy we finally saved up enough money to move out there." I said.

"Me too. Hey, Faye?"

"Yeah."

"Do you ever regret that night?"

"What night?"

"The night we got drunk and had sex."

"Um...honestly. No. I've never regretted it. I love Charlotte and I'm okay with how this is being handled. And I'm happy you're the one this all happened with."

"Me too. We should really go grab our food and pack."

"Yeah. We should."
With that Carson grabbed te food in one hand and my hand in his other hand. I smiled. This is all going to work out. We drove back to his house in silence and when we walked in I could tell Carson had already started packing.

"I'll pack up my room and you can pack up Nona's. Then we can eat in about an hour." Carson said setting the food down on the counter.

"Okay. See you in an hour." I said walking off to Nona's room. When I walked in there I smiled at the cute pink room with her white dresser and her white bed frame. I sat down and began to fold her clothes out of the dresser. As I folded I began to think back before her. Carson, Gena and I were the inseparable three we did everything together. One night Carson got us all into a new club in town. We all ended up getting wasted.  Gena caught a cab back to her house and me and Carson got a cab back to his house. When we got there no one was home. It was just him and I. It started with making out and soon we were doing it. The morning after when we found out what we did I avoided him for a month. That was until I found out I was pregnant. He was the first person I told and he supported me. He helped me tell Jack and Jane. He took quite a beating from Jack. One night while I was sleeping Carson had come over. Unfortunately Jack was the one to open the door. This was about when I was 4 months pregnant. Carson didn't tell me what happened until after Charlotte was born. I don't really know where me and Carson stand in a relationship. Right now we're just co-parenting. But honestly, I wish it wasn't so complicated. But I guess that's life.
"Faye!" Carson said breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Coming." I yelled back. I walked out into the hallway and to the kitchen where Carson was scooping food onto two plates. I filled two cups with water and sat next to him at the counter.

"So, how much did you get done so far?" He asked taking his first bite of rice.

"I got a majority of her clothes and toys boxed up. What about you?"

"I got all of my clothes packed and all I have left is some picture frames. We'll have to buy dishes and stuff like that there."

"Okay. Can I just stay here tonight?" I asked finishing off my dinner.

"Sure. That's fine. You can sleep in the bed. I'll sleep on the couch."

" That's okay you can sleep on the bed too. You do have a queen sized bed." I stated casually.

"True. True. Well, I'm gonna go change and I'll grab you some clothes too."

"I can grab my own clothes." I said. We put the dishes in the sink and walked side my side into Carson's room. When we got in there he grabbed a pair of shorts out of one of the boxes.

"Which one has my stuff?" I asked looking around.

"That one right there." He said pointing to a box next to the one he pulled the shorts out of. I walked over and pulled out a shirt and some flannel pants. I walked to the bathroom and got changed. When I came back out I sat on the edge of the bed.

"What time are we picking up Nona tomorrow?" I asked reaching for my phone.

"I was thinking that around 9 in the morning. You okay with that?"

"Yeah. I'll text Jane." I texted Jane and told her that we would be there sometime the next morning. She quickly texted back saying that Nona had fallen asleep. "Nona is already sleeping." I said plugging my phone in and crawling into the bed.

"Okay. Night babe." Carson replied crawling under the covers and shutting the lamp off.

"Night." I laid there for about an hour before Carson began to lightly snore. I still couldn't sleep. I thought of Liam and Harry. This news I had gotten myself into. I would just have to talk to them. I could tell Liam was mad. But I don't even know about Harry. He was pretty much silent the whole time. I rolled unto my side. I'd better get some sleep for tomorrow.
