Saving Me ~Nash Grier and Carter Reynolds Fanfic~

Chapter 20

***Violet's POV***

My entire date with Carter was a blow. Like he is still the same guy I almost fell in love with. But he isn't. When he talked to me he was still sweet but he was so consumed with his phone. Like more than anyone I have ever met. Was he trying to avoid me?

"Do you want me to take you home or do you wanna grab some ice cream or something?" Carter asks while interrupting my thoughts as we walk back to the car.

"It doesn't matter." I snap. He notices and comes over to my side of the car pinning me against the door. I gasp.

"Babe. What's wrong?" he says as he snakes his hands around my waist. He squeezes my sides, making me jump a little. He smirks. I blush.

"Nothing. " I say as I look away from him. He cups my face, forcing me to look up at him. In those chocolatey brown eyes. Damn how can he be so attractive?

"Don't lie to me, Violet Jonell Owens." He calls me out as his soft lips brush mine. I know I'm blushing but it's dark out so he can't see. Thank goodness. I turn my head back out of his grip. I know where this is leading but I'm not sure I'm okay with it. "Vi, baby, tell me what's wrong. Please. " He begs while putting his bottom lip out and pulling my body into his. Closing the gap. I look up into his puppy eyes. Might as well tell him.

"You seem to care more about your phone tonight rather than me. " I blurt in one breathe. He lifts my chin up with sympathetic eyes.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't even notice how much I was on it. I promise for the rest of the night it stays in my pocket." He puts his phone deep into his front jeans pocket. He snakes his arms back around my body pulling me all of the way into his chest. There is no space in between us now again. My heart beat increases. His breath is calm and slow. It's almost intimidating. "Violet you mean everything to me. I am sorry for making you upset. Will you forgive me?" he begs. I melt with those puppy eyes. Damn it. I know I will give in.

"Okay. " I simply state. I'm still kind of upset with him, but I don't want it to ruin the rest of our night. I want this to be perfect. Like it should have started out. He smiles down at me and inches his face close to mine. His lips brush and latch onto mine. The kiss is sweet. Sort of passionate. His tongue ventures into my mouth without struggle. I know this is wrong but it feels so right. His hand rub my back in sync of our mouths. This is a little weird to do in a theatre parking lot so I break the kiss pulling him into the backseat of the car. All I want to do now is just kiss him. He sits down on the seat and I climb in and shut the door behind me. I climb onto his open lap, straddling him. Carter's arms snake around me without hesitation and closes the gap between us and kisses me intently. "I love you Violet" he says into my mouth between kisses. I then remember Nash. I can't do this to him can I? no. I break the kiss and Carter's face is in shock. "What's wrong?"

"I...I don't know if I should be doing this." I admit. He looks at me with a smile.

"I understand. Babe. Wanna go get that ice cream now?" he asks changing the subject quickly and picking me up off his lap. I nod and open the door for us to get into the front seats. "Dairy Queen good with you?"

"Yes. " I say as I climb into the passenger seat.

"Good." He starts the car and heads off his hand is on my thigh as he drives through town. I don't protest. It's nice. Even though its not right. "So how are you feeling? I see that you are doing okay as you walk around everywhere and climb onto people's laps." He teases. I playfully away his arm out of embarrassment. He laughs which makes me laugh. This is the Carter I love. "What? it's true." he says between laughs.

"Whatever." I sass and look out the window. Moments later we reach DQ. I let myself out and follow Carter inside. He walks with his arm securely on my lower back. It's comforting. He orders us chocolate chip cookie dough blizzards. We receive the dessert and sit down at a small booth in the back of the small restaurant.
