After going back to the room, Alex told Jordan what happened.

"I don't know why he insists on playing around". Jordan shook her head.

"I don't even care, I got other things to focus on like my career, raising Kay, and...". Alex trailed.

"And?". Jordan raised her eyebrow.

"And other things". Alex dismissed.

Jordan eyed Alex skeptically.

"You mean like keeping you and Carter together?". Jordan smirked.

Alex threw a pillow at Jordan.

"No! That's a fifty-fifty job". Alex rolled her eyes.

Alex stayed up watching tv while Jordan and Kayden slept.

She got a text from Carter.

Carter: Hey

Alex:Hi

Carter: What are you doing up? It is almost one in the morning.

Alex: Thinking about...things

Carter: With us?

Alex: About the future in general

Carter: Do you see me in it?

Alex: I do

Carter: Can you come over?

Alex: I could

Carter: You know you want too😎😎

Alex squealed silently.

"Why does he make me feel this way?". She whispered to herself.

Alex put on a hoodie and her Nike slides. She grabbed her phone charger and keycard. She tiptoed to the front door.

"Have fun with Carter". Jordan mumbled.

Alex mentally cursed herself out.

"Thanks". She was blushing now.

Alex walked into the elevator with a bright smile on her face. She couldn't wait to see Carter. She walked off the elevator as soon as the doors opened. She got into her car and began to drive.

"Lord, pleaas let me and Carter make it. I don't need him leaving me again. If it's meant to be then it's meant to be. If not, stop me from hurting myself". Alex prayed.

She drove up to his apartment and parallel parked out front. She got out and went inside. She got into the elevator and pressed the fourth floor button. She felt nervous. What would Carter want to do once she got there? Only God knows, that she isn't ready to head down that road again.

She got to the last door in the hallway and knocked gently.

The door opened and Carter appeared.

"Hey". He greeted.

He kissed her forehead and let her in.

"I'm glad you accepted my invitation, even though it's one in the morning". He thanked her.

He wrapped her in his arms.

"I think we both needed this, before I go". Alex smiled softly.

"I agree". He smiled.

He leaned down and kissed her.

"What was that for?". Alex grinned.

"I don't know where we might end up, but I want you to know, I'm here for you, and only you". He whispered.
