I've Got my Head in the Clouds (Jc Caylen)

Chapter 11

I get home, unlock the door, and skip up the stairs. This is the happiest I've been in a while. I drop all my purchases on the floor and lay back on the bed. I'm excited, Carter seems cool and I'm curious in where we're going to end up. I roll over onto my stomach and let out a sigh. My phone rings and I reach up to my pillow to grab it.

(Text Convo):

Carter: Hey I figured out where we are gonna go tonight (:

Alex: Cool, where?

Carter: Its a surprise I cant tell you, but wear something casual.

Alex: Ugh I hate surprises :P What time should I be ready by?

Carter: 7:30ish See ya then ;)))

Alex: K I live on Maple Street and the house number is 213 byeeeee

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have 2 and a half hours until Carter is coming to pick me up. I guess for now I'll just go on my computer for a bit.

I sit down at my desk and turn my iMac on. Then I decide to look at some of Jc and Ricardo's videos on YouTube.

(1 hour later)

It's time for me to take a quick shower. I grab a towel, a facecloth, and my new body wash that I bought today. It smells like cotton candy, and I'm obsessed with that smell. I get in the shower and spend the whole time thinking about what I'm going to do about Jc. I instantly regret it though because I want to have fun tonight and let go.

Once I'm done drying off I head over to my closet. I honestly don't know what to wear. I don't want to dress up too much because Carter said to be casual. I look all around until I find a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. I walk over to my tops and pair it with a black and white stripped top that has cuffed sleeves. Then I open up my dresser and grab my dad's dog tags. I throw my clothes on and head back to the bathroom.

I plug my hair drier and straightener into the outlet on the sink. I get to work drying and straightening my hair. Then I pull open the cabinet under the sink and grab my makeup bag. I don't want to do anything special so I just apply some mascara, cream blush, and light peach baby lips.

I have 30 minutes to waste. I guess I'll go down to the game room and play on the Xbox until Carter gets here.

I jump when I here a knock on the door, even though I know its him. I hurry and put my black and white vans on and stand in front of a mirror in the hall to adjust my hair. I grab my phone, wallet, and keys. Once I get to the door I slowly open it to a smiling Carter.

"Hi" I say. "Wow, you look great." He says back. I drop my head to the ground and my cheeks flush. He chuckles and puts his hand under my chin and looks me in the eyes. "You're so cute when you blush, don't be ashamed." he says. I smile and hug him. I take a breath of his smell, its comforting. "Can you please tell me where we are going?" I say breaking away from the hug with a sad puppy dog face.

He simply says no and takes my hand leading me over to the car to open my door. I sit down and wait for him to get in and start the car. We barely know eachother, but I feel comfortable being myself around him. We sing to the radio and dance in our seats. I can tell tonight is going to be fun.
