Make It Work [B5 Story]

Thursday Night
Carnell

The plane finally landed and we caught a taxi to the hotel we were staying at. I turned my phone on while Chelsea was giving us the agenda for tomorrow. "Alright guys. No need to get comfortable. We've got to be at Wendy by seven, show starts at ten."

Bryan interrupted. "That early?"

Chelsea nodded. "Yes. Gotta beat traffic and avoid be trampled by fans. You can meet and greet after the show. Bring your bags too because right after Wendy, we're headed back to Atlanta. You're going to jump in the studio, then be up again by 7 for Good Morning, Atlanta. I'll let you rest after that."

I was looking weird at my phone right now so I wasn't really paying attention. Kara was blowing me up, going off about my ex.

Kara
Your ex is so jealous. It's clear she wants you back.

Kara
Lol. Too bad right?

Kara
She thinks I'm threatened by her. That's why she wanted you to get her bag.

Kara
Damn bag wasn't heavy.

Kara
Watch that hoe, Carnell. Besides... When's the last time she's talked to you?

Me
Damn, I landed. Can we talk about me?

"Carnell, you listening?" Chels asked after she noticed that I wasn't paying attention.

I nodded.

"Be late because you didn't hear something and watch you get left in New York." She told me. "Here's your rooms numbers and keys. Don't bother me unless it's important."

The bros and I got up and headed to our rooms. We were all on the fifth floor. I walked down to mine and noticed Chelsea was passing by. "Hey, when you get a minute can I talk to you?"

She looked me up and down before answering. "Is it work related?"

"No," I laughed. "I was listening. I swear."

"Okay. 526." She told me before walking away to her room. I went into mine and put my things down and walked down to her room. I could hear her on the phone before I knocked. "It's a nice room..... Nice enough for one night." She opened the door a motioned for me to come in while she finished up her phone conversation. "I know... I miss you too. Talk to you later." She hung up and sat on her bed. "So what's up?"

I took a seat in the chair by the desk. "We just don't talk anymore-"

She cut me off with a laugh. "We barely get along though."

"True but-"

"But what? What do you really want?"

I was slightly getting aggravated because she kept cutting me off. "You seem to know that it's something I want to talk to you about."

"I have a slight idea.. why else would I let you come in here?"

"So what the hell is Kara talking about then because I'm lost."

"She just wanted me to know that you were taken." Chelsea shrugged.

"That's it?"

"Of course she said some more unnecessary things.."

"And what did you say?"

"I basically told her that she doesn't have to worry about me and you because we're done.. but it seems as if y'all talk about me a lot for her to be so intimidated." She smirked.

"Or maybe you said something to her that's making her feel intimidated?"

"Not before but yeah, she probably feels intimidated now." She laughed but I didn't find shit funny.
