I Never Loved You

Chapter 17

Nobody's POV

It was the next day. It was around 4:30 pm and everyone was getting ready to head to Carter's house. Carter was making dinner for them. He has never cooked before so he hoped they liked it. He was making cube steak, Mac & cheese, mash potatoes, broccoli and cheese, and shrimp. His whole house smelt with the scent of delicious food. He heard a knock at his door and shut the oven as he removed his mitten walking slowly over to the door. He was a bit in a pain from the baby but ignored it. "Who is it?" He calls and he heard a deep voice say "Tyrone." He didn't know why he was so excited to hear that man's name due to the fact of happened between them. He opened the door and looked down shyly. "Hey.. come in." He whispered. Ty looked at him and chuckled a bit. Without a doubt ty still had feelings for his ex lover. Ty slowly made his way in taking in the lovely scent of steak. "You cooking?" Ty asked in smooth tone that sent chills down Carter's spine. "Y-yeah I am." Carter face palmed himself for stuttering so much as he walks into the kitchen embarrassed. Ty once again chuckled and walked behind him. "You look great Carter." Ty tells him making Carter blush more. "T-thanks." Was all Carter could say before someone else knocked on the door. He sighs dramatically and excused himself. "Excuse me ty." He smiles softly and walked off to go get the door. He hoped it wouldn't be trey. He knew that ty and Trey didn't like each other and he didn't have the time to be trying to break up a fight while being pregnant. "Who is it?" Carter asked wiping his sweaty palms onto his pants. "Trey." He heard a deep masculine voice say that made him smile a bit. He opened the door and there revealed Trey. Carter gasped and his eyes widened at the sight. His eyes roamed Trey's face. "Oh my god Trey.." he covers his mouth in shock and Trey cracked a smile as he leaned against the door frame. He could barely see out of his eye. One was swollen shut and the other had a bit of a blur to it. His bottom lip was stitched up and his cheek was covered with a bandage. He had a few scratches on his face and a small bruise on his chin. "Dang.. no hey or nothing?" Trey said trying not to let it get to him as he stared at Carter. Carter slowly moved him his hands from his mouth. "Hey.. are you ok Trey?" Trey nods, "I'm good." He lies as he let's himself in. He felt as if he was slowly dying inside and out. Carter tried not to look because he didn't wanna make things even more awkward than what it has to be. "Wh-" ty stopped himself from speaking as he stared at a broken Trey. Trey just took a seat feeling a bit uncomfortable from their stares but didn't speak on it as he dropped his head low and stared at his shoes. Ty cleared his throat and decided to speak up. "Wassup Trey?" He said as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. Trey smiled a bit but still kept his head down. "Sup." He said smoothly​ glancing up at ty while Carter watched in amusement. He was shocked that they weren't trying to kill one another. "I'll get you guys something to drink.. what do y'all want?" He asked placing his hand on his stomach giving it a rub. "Lemonade." The two spoke in usion as Carter nods and smiles. "Ok give me one minute. Oh and when everyone gets here I'll start making plates." He informs then before leaving to go make some lemonade using lemons and not Kool aid packets. "So you doing good, aye?" Trey said as he kept his eyes on ty while they had a stare down. Both looking into each eyes. "Yeah I'm doing good.. I would ask the same to you but from what I'm staring at I can tell that you aren't​ doing to good." Ty retorted snobbily and Trey kisses his teeth but chose not to speak knowing it was true rather rude or not. Then there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Ty smirks and left to go get the door leaving Trey alone in deep thought with tears swelling his eyes. "Cousin where you at?!"
