Forever Her (girlxgirl)

Five

Carter
It not surprising that Megan has found herself entangled with Tristan. He's probably the last guy she needs to be hanging out with. Even back in high school Meg had an incredible ability to attract the worst guys.

That's not to say that Tristan was a bad guy. He was actually pretty chill to hang out with on a strictly friends bases. Judging by the way he was looking at her friendship was the last thing on his mind. Old Carter would have done anything to shield Meg from a guy like Tristan.

Not me. Meg's a big girl. I'm sure she can handle herself.

So why did you want to sit over here the moment you saw them together? The annoying voice  in my head asked. I ignore it. The only reason I'm here is to annoy Meg nothing else. Tristan's got nothing to do with it.

"You two are roommates?" Tristan asked as if me calling her roomie didn't make that obvious.

"Yeah, kind of didn't have a choice in the matter." Meg says  looking disgruntled.

I narrow my eyes at her. She makes it sound like living with me was such a bad thing. She didn't know what bad was, but I could surely show her.

"Yeah poor little virgin Meg walked in on me yesterday day afraid she saw more than she was prepared for." I tease.

Meg's eyes widen before narrowing down into a glare. "Normal people lock the door before doing those types of...things."

"Things?" I question with raised brows. Yup, she definitely still a virgin. I don't question why knowing that she probably hasn't been with anyone else makes me happy. Probably because like most broken hearted people I didn't want to see the person I once loved happy in someone else's arms.

"It's called sex, Megan. You're a big girl. You can say it." I say leaning into her.

"Shut up, Carter." Meg snaps.

I smile. She's upset. She always did look cute when she was angry. Her nose did this little crinkly thing and a fire ignited behind her brown eyes.

"That might have actually been my fault." Fee says drawing our attention to her. She placed a manicured hand on my arm.

"I was the last one in. I should have locked the door but things got so heated between us it slipped my mind. Carter really does know how to turn my brain to mush." Fee says with her eyes on Meg.

Meg drops her eyes back down to her plate, clearly uncomfortable with the eye contact.She pushes her food around with her fork.

"Gross Fee. Your sexual experiences are strictly a no no topic when I'm around."  Tristan says.

Fee roles her eyes and drops her head into my shoulder. She's being awfully touchy feely this morning. I don't know why she feels the need to be so territorial around Meg. It's not like that was going anywhere. Meg isn't a threat to anybody.

"Is you're roommate here yet?" Fee asked.

"No he's getting here a little later.  Probably around one. Are you still going to stop buy when he gets here?" Tristan turn to look at Meg. She smiles and looks like she's about to say yes before I jump in.

"She can't." I say.

Everyone turn to look at me. Megan frowns. "Why can't I?" She asked.

"Because..." I really don't have a reason besides doing so would be like sending a lamb to the wolves. Tristan might have been a bit of a hoe but at least he was nice to the women he slept with. Kai on the other hand was a asshole. He collected women like trophies. Meg was just his type. He'd use her innocence against her and when he was done he'd throw her out like yesterday's trash.

Thought you were done being her shield? The same annoying voice whispered in my head. I know that's what I said but bad habits die hard.

"Because?" Megan asked with a raised brow.

"Because you're going to be busy." I say. A sucky answer but the best one I can come up with.

"Busy doing what?" Tristan asked.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot the freshman meeting is tonight. You guys have to go to that don't you." Fee says and I could almost kiss her. It's a perfect excuse.

"Yup that's it." I agree. I didn't even know there was a meeting.

"Why don't you just skip it?" Tristan asked.

"What if we miss something important?" Meg said pushing her hair back behind her ear.

"It's nothing important. I can pretty much tell you anything you'd learn there."

"Yeah but if we don't go we might not make a good impression." I say, which sounds totally weird coming from me. I could careless if the RA thought I was being antisocial.

"Since when do you care about good impressions?" Fee asked.

I shrug my shoulders. I'm not really sure why I started this conversation in the first place. It wasn't my job to keep Meg from running into some random dudes bed. I should just let it go.

"Well maybe you can stop by afterwards." Tristan said with a smile.

"Seriously? Just how bad do you want to sleep with her?" I say, realizing only seconds later that I've said it out loud. My voice carries in the quiet cafe. Several students at near by tables turn to look at us.

Sh!t I didn't mean to do that.

Meg's face goes from mortified to just pure angry as she glares at me. She stands from her seat and picks up her tray.

"I think I'm going to go now. Thanks again Tristan for eating with me." Meg says before turning to leave.

"What the hell was that?" Tristan asked once she was gone from the cafe.

"Nothing, it's just annoying to have to watch you fail at hitting on my roommate this early in the morning." I say picking up a fork full of my food. I put it in mouth but I'm not really hungry.

"Dude not cool. I almost had her." Tristan says combing back his hair. I try not to grit my teeth at his words.

"No you didn't. Meg's not into you're type." I say.

"She's not gay, is she? I usually have a really good gaydar." Tristan says looking disappointed.

"No, she's definitely not that." I say.

Tristan shrugs. " Then I probably have a decent shot. Girls love me, especially the cute shy ones."

"No you don't. Meg not into anyone. Boy or girl she's never showed any interest."

Back in the day I fooled myself into believing that it was because she only had feeling for me. That's how it was for me at least. All the other girls paled in comparison to her. She was the sun when everyone else was a distant star.

"You seem to know a lot about her for someone you just meet yesterday." Tristan said. He eyed me. He was skeptical about Meg and I relationship.

I shrug my shoulders. "We might have known each other back in highschool."

"You mean the homophobic hell hole you were telling me about." Fee asked.

I nod. I hadn't gone into detail but she knew that I went through a ruff patch back then. To be honest I didn't like to share much about my past. I didn't see why it mattered. This was who I was now.

"No wonder you don't like her. She seems like a up tight b!tch." Fee says.

I grit my teeth. I don't like that word and I really don't like when Fee used to talk about Meg.

"Yeah well that was a long time ago." I say. I think back to the times when we ate ice cream and held hands together. That times seems almost a life time away.
