kind of a badass//Carl Gallagher

"Good Morning, beautiful." Carl woke me up, kissing me. I let a smile slide. I sat up in the small bed. "So do you think anyone is awake?" I finally come to terms with myself that I was just keeping this thing between Carl and I, just friends with benefits. I don't like him any more than just the sex. That's how it should be. He looked at his cell phone. "it's eight in the morning I don't think anyone would be. even if they were I doubt they would come in here. Lip sleeps in debs old room, Ian sleeps wherever the fuck he wants. We'll be good. Why? You want to fuck?" Instead of answering him I just pushed him over on the bed. I put his length in my mouth and began working on him. Then he pushed me back over and got on top of me. He put my hands above my head and held them together with one hand, and reached for a condom with the other. He slipped it on and kissed me before slipping inside. He was laying on top of me, skin-to-skin and thrusting softly. Sometimes, in my opinion, soft and slow is amazing, even though I normally like it rough. I moved my hands when he let go of them and dug my naturally long nails into his back. "How'd you know I liked scratching?" He asked me between breaths. I whispered in his ear. "didn't. just a habit." He smirked and continued.

I took the opportunity to take his hand and set it over my throat. "Choking?" I nodded. He then went rough. It was amazing. "Hey Carl can I borro-" The voice stopped. I pushed carl off and hid in the blanket. "Lip! what do you need dude?" Carl sounded so calm. "A lighter. Is that Delilah? When I woke up I figured she went back home." I was hoping Carl would lie and say it was some neighborhood slut. Stupidly he admitted it was me. I slowly peeked my head out of the blanket. "What happened to what you told me? No guys?" I huffed out a sigh. "Well it started with smoking a j and it kinda just happened. It's strictly just sex though." Lip let out a chuckle and closed the door. He sat on the floor.

"So why didn't you tell me? I'm your friend. I could have told you to stay away from him." He laughed and placed a cigarette between his teeth. "Very funny." Carl stood up and put clothes on. He handed me my clothes and I changed, awkwardly, under the blanket. "I am actually not kidding. Deli, this guy?" I rolled my eyes at Lip and stood from the bed. "You aren't going to say anything to anyone are you?" He rolled his eyes. "No." He laughed. "I don't know what you mean you would have told her to stay away? I graduated military school and i'm going to work as a police officer." Carl retorted, walking to the door. "See you later?" He turned to me. I shrugged. "See ya Lip." I attempted to walk out of the door but he took ahold of my wrist and stood up. "You okay? I mean I just know you said you didn't want to be how you used to be. Lets go do something." I shook my head. "I think i'm going to help Fiona with the laundromat today." He nodded in response and I left the room. I went home and did my normal routine then went back to the kitchen to see if Kev and V were okay with me going to help Fiona.

"Yeah no problem. Just if you want to go bowling with us you have to tell Fi and the Brady Bunch to come to that dollar bowl place. They'll know what I mean." I nodded. Basically he was inviting them to bowl with us. I guess the Gallaghers are like family to Kev and V. Weird because carl and I, but it's not really family. The rest of the family was growing on me to be that way too. "Okay cool. I'll call you when we are on our way."

When I entered the laundromat, there was tons of people. I actually thought I was at the wrong address at first. That was until Fiona greeted me at the door. "good morning! What's up?" I shrugged. "I figured I'd help out a bit with the place." I turned to see debby working the coffee machine. "coffee? Nice!" She laughed and put an arm around me. "Folding laundry okay?" She gave me an apron. "As long as it's clean laundry." She laughed again and lead me to a woman about in her twenties who was folding her laundry. "Delilah will get that for you. Have you heard of the night..." She walked away with the woman into the busy laundromat.
"Hey! Lip told me you'd be here." Carl sat on top of the folding area. I was folding the woman's dryer sheet smelling clothes. "Don't you have other friends?" He shook his head at my question. I began to fold some party dress. Folding people's laundry felt like an invasion of privacy but i guess they don't mind. "Damn that's shirt or a dress?" He laughed taking it from me. "Stop! And it's a dress. Takes the term little black dress to a literal."
I snatched the dress away from him.

"Holy cow. Her A cup bras are extreme push-ups. Like feel this. And it's an A." I gave him the bra to hold but he refused. "Seriously this woman is flat chested." I laughed to Carl. It was nice joking with him. Being people. "So one of the reasons I had to come find you.... I think we need to talk about how you like me." He smirked. I set down the blue jeans I was folding and pushed him off the table. "You're a good fuck."

He stood up shaking his head. "No. You LIKE me." I rolled my eyes and finished the clothes. I took them to the lady up front. She tipped me 40 bucks. For folding laundry. Which I do for free at home. Must be a north side richie rich. I walked over and gave the cash to Fiona. "Keep it. The tips you earn are yours." I shrugged and pocketed the cash and moved to the next person who asked for help. "Seriously. You like me. It's okay. You already know, since the day we met, I like you too." I rolled my eyes. I did not like him. I just liked the sex. He was a cool and close friend, don't get me wrong, but I did not like Carl Gallagher.
"You'll see babe. I heard from Kev we are bowling tonight. I'll be there." He winked and began walking away. "Carl!" I called for him. "Let's keep...our friends with benefits...sex...a secret. Like we have been." He nodded, huffing out a sigh.
