The Carter Family Screw Up [Carter Brothers - Book 2]

Five - "Come with me."

"What the fuck are you doing in my room?!" He yelled, sitting upright.

"Calm down, tattoo boy. You collapsed in front of me, so I climbed across to make sure you were okay and I stayed to make sure you didn't die." He looked at me for a moment, with furrowed brows, like he was trying to read me.

"Hold on - you climbed across? You do know we have a front door, right?" He questioned.

"Yes I'm smart enough to have figured that one out myself, but in the heat of the moment, the only thing I was thinking about was getting to you to make sure that you were okay. But next time I'll stop to take the time to make sure my decisions are highly logical." I said with sarcasm.

He opened his mouth to say something but stopped when he saw his hands.

"Did you clean me up?" I couldn't quite tell if he was surprised or creeped out.

"Well I couldn't exactly leave you like that." I said. I don't know what the problem was - It was the right thing to do as far as I was concerened.

He swing his legs onto the floor and sat on the edge of the bed.

"So you just watched me sleep?" He said in a questioning tone; a confused look spread across his face.

"Don't make it sound creepy. I just kept an eye on you, that's all. Besides I sat here doing my homework while I waited for you to wake up."

"Nerd."

"Ungrateful asshole." I retorted. We stared eachother out for a moment before his eyes looked down to my chest.

"What the fuck at you wearing?" He asked, looking horrified. I had been so occupied with making sure he was okay, I'd completely forgotten I was wearing what was probably the most hideous sweater on the planet.

"Oh, uh.. This is Sweetpea the unicorn. It belonged to my best friend back where I used to live." He looked the sweater over again and raised an eye brow.

He tried opening his hand  to extend his fingers and winced at the pain.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

"Nothing." He replied, instantly.

"Its obviously not nothing. Did someone try to hurt you or-"

"I said it's nothing so drop it!" He yelled. I felt bad for him and whatever had happened but I wasn't going to take his crap.

"You dont have to tell me what happened, but don't yell at me." I demanded.

"Whatever. You can go now."

"Charming ." I said and picked up my things from the desk. "There's leftover pizza in the box - you can have it of your hungry."

I made my way to the window and climbed out. When I got back into my room and went to close my window, he said something to me.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"What's your name?" I didn't realise he didn't know it.

"Maggie." I simply replied. He looked at me for a few seconds, allowing me to see his gorgeous green eyes, before he closed his window and lowered his blind.

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

I made sure to keep my door locked last night to stop Jake from coming in to wake me up. Unfortunately it didn't stop him from banging on my door at 6am, scaring the crap out of me, subsequently leading to me to falling of my bed onto the floor.

After yelling at him, I showered then got dressed amd made my way downstairs. Just like yesterday, I practically orgasmed aa I entered the kitchen to the familiar smell of my aunts pancakes.
