Falling Love

Part six

It was nine when I woke up. I must have fallen asleep when I was watching Supernatural. I pulled my headphones off and pushed my Mac onto the floor. I got out of bed and grabbed my leggings and a singlet. I went Into bathroom, I threw my clothes on the floor and started my shower. I got undressed and hopped in. The hot water calmed me and woke me up some more. Once I was done I got out and dressed. I walked back into my room to find Carson lying on my bed face up. Yes. When he saw me he sat up and smiled.

"Hey, I haven't seen you in like" he looked at the clock on my wall "five hours"

"Oh no, how horrible five hours"

"Haha. Anyway I want to go to the beach, come?" I thought for a second as I sat on my bed. I obviously wanted to go but what were we going to do? Was my mum going to get angry if she caught me? Not that I cared but it would be a plus if I didn't get in trouble. I looked at him as he smiled at me.

"Sure"

"Great!" With that Carson stood up grabbed my hand and lead me out the room down the stairs and quietly out the house. We walked to the beach. It wasn't a far walk about fifteen minutes. On the way there we talked about things we liked and hated. Carson and I had quite a lot in common. He also believed in spirits as I do. 'I know so' he said to me when I asked him. I didn't ask him how, he'd probably seen one before which I reckon is pretty cool. I want to meet one one day, a good one not a dangerous one, obviously. I just have to wait until I see one, I don't want to do a séance because that shits dangerous and I'm not gutsy enough to do that. We also talked about what we want to be when we're older. He just wants a family as most people, where as I want to move to back home to New Orleans the 'capital' for voodoo and witchery. I want to buy and live in a big White antebellum house.

Once we arrived at the beach Carson started running. I had to run along with him seeing he was still holding my hand and I didn't want to face plant and have a mouthful of sand. We got to the water and Carson's face lit up. Still looking at the water he said

"I used to love the water!" Used?

"Why don't you now?" He looked at me with a puzzled face

"You just said you used to love the water, why don't you now?"

"Oh I said used? Ha..hah I meant I still do."

"Oh, okay." He looked back at the water. I do have to admit the water looked real nice tonight even though it was winter and only thirteen degrees, and also the fact that I hate the beach. I've never liked it, firstly the sand gets everywhere and it has to be at least thirty six degrees before i to go in! And my hair always got so knotty. I was taken from my thinking when Carson talked

"Want to go in?"

"No!"

"Really?"

"Yes, I hate the beach! And it's to cold!"

"Come on, we'll make a fire after?" I thought for a minute but before I could make up my mind I felt Carson pick me up and before I knew it I was under the water. I was a little pissed  but it was pretty funny. I felt him jump in next to me and he rose up. I came up after him with my wet hair dripping besides my ears. I looked at him and tried to hide my smile as it came across my face.

"Is that a smile I see on Scarlett Evans face?"

"Hahah"

"There it is." We both laughed at this and Carson splashed me. Bitch. Instead of splashing him I walked up to him and pushed him in the water before walking away but before I made it three steps away he grabbed my ankle from under the water and dragged me under with him. I kept my eyes open under the water and saw him smiling seeing the water was super clear that night  lit up by the moon. We both got up and walked out of the water as I was squeezing the water out of my hair Carson came towards me. I let go of my hair and looked up at him. He placed his index finger under my chin, leant in and kissed me. I felt the hairs on my back stand up and electric sparks ran up and down my arms and legs. He was a really good kisser, probably had heaps of practise at school, when he went. I had been wanting to kiss him since the moment I saw him but never in a million years thought he'd want to kiss me. No one does so why would he? We pulled apart and smiled. I felt like I could be my full self around him, I had nothing to hide from him. He seemed interested by my ways like he had never met someone like me and if so I wouldn't be surprised.

We walked up to the sand and he started a fire. It dried us off and then heated us up. We talked some more and before I knew it it was midnight. As we were talking I heard foot steps and turned around. The light of the fire shon on her auburn hair. Audrey. I was kind of annoyed that she was here. How did she even find us in the first place? She walked over to us and sat across the fire from us. Carson looked up in surprise as I did. She smiled at us,

"What a coincidence to see you two here. Carson I never thought Scarlett would be your type!" Carson's face went red with embarrassment. Was he embarrassed from me? Or what Audrey said. She kept a smile on her face. I looked over at Carson he looked at me with his head down.

"I remember when you used to bring cheerleader girls home all the time." Okay? Carson didn't say anything just went more red. It was awkward for me as well so I decided it was best to leave.

"Well I guess this is my Que." I looked at Audrey and gave her the biggest greasy I could. She had just ruined a perfect moment. The most fun time I had had in ages. Carson looked at me and grabbed my hand.

"Wait I'm coming." Audrey's face changed to a jealousy look for some reason. Carson and I walked off leaving Audrey alone with the fire. Carson took hold of my hand but I pulled my hand away. He looked down at me.

"Im guessing you want to know what she was talking about?"

"Well yeah Carson. Am I just another girl? Thought you'd try someone different for once? A change from the cheerleaders?" I was upset that this person that I thought genuinely liked me had just blown me off. I didn't want to loose him, he was one of my only friends!

"It's not what it sounds like! Okay! Audrey's just jealous that I don't like her and no your not just another girl I'm not like that anymore. I'm different now." Was he serious? I was hopping so because I wanted to believe him.

"Jealous of what?"

"You and me" really? That was actually good news.

"Why?"

"Because she used to love me" Carson looked at me "but I never loved her. We were friends but now... We're not even that. She did something that I'll never be able to forgive her for but in a way if she hadn't of done it I would have never of met you!" He smiled at me and I felt myself blush a little.

"But stay away from her she's dangerous!" I wondered what she did to him? I didn't think it was any of my business to ask so I didn't. He leant in and kissed me again. It felt good to have my lips against him and it was the second time today, so score to me. Carson walked me back home and I silently opened the door and walked up the stairs and into my room.
