kind of a badass//Carl Gallagher

"Why don't you feel bad anyways?" I asked as I was slipping the bralette back on, looking in the mirror to make sure I still looked good, which I did. He walked up behind me, putting his warm hands on the sides of my stomach, turning me around to face him. "I would never feel bad for doing anything to protect you. I didn't mean for her to die, that I feel bad about. Plus, I talked to my people and they actually did rough some of the furniture up. Then, She came into the room, was so scared that she turned around, grabbed a gun from her nightstand and shot one of the guys. that's when the other, the brother of that guy, pulled a gun out, shot her, and ditched. It wasn't right to do what I did. They meant to shoot her in the arm like she did him. I'm so sorry." I looked into his green eyes, then I could tell he meant everything, every single word, he said. "fine. We can be together... no more killing for me. I deal with my own pain, my own way." I said sternly, before kissing his big ass lips. 

I took his hand when we were both dressed and walked down the stairs. "Guys, let me properly introduce my boyfriend Carl Gallagher." I looked at the group who gave me confused looks at first but then smiled brightly. "If our girl is happy with it then so are we." I smiled at the way too supportive friends I just met. "So the power couple of the southside is back together?" I heard Fiona's voice from the kitchen. I turned to her as she was now walking over to us. "Of course." She hugged me and took a step back. "Okay, you look hot. Maybe I need you to start styling me up every day." I shook my head at Fiona. "Actually, you would need to talk to Riley about that. This outfit, hair, and makeup is all by Riley." Riley stood from the couch and took a bow. She walked over to Fiona. "I love your hair. And you have a nice figure. I have some clothes you can keep." Riley smiled, pleased she would have another person who can model her looks. "Okay okay. I was about to go to Patsy's if any of you are hungry swing by on the house." Fiona Said her goodbye's and left out the door. 

"I was about to head down to the bar, I figured I could run it since it will be ours again." V smiled, grabbed her purse, then left. Kev was the only adult here. "Do you guys wanna go to the pool?" I asked. Everyone nodded, except Carl. "Cant. Lip isn't home, Ian's at work, Fiona is at the restaurant. I have to watch Liam and make sure the house doesn't burn down. You all have fun though." He took my face in his hands, glanced over at Carson, and kissed me for way too long. I pushed his chest and he smirked walking out. "Love you." He was gone. 

"We have a pool at the house if you want to go there instead of getting a disease at the public pool." Carson offered. I thought about it for a second, then denied the offer. Maybe I would another time. Sometimes, the public pool can be fun. There are slides that are mainly for the kids, but that doesn't stop any adults. Plus, there is so much chlorine added to the pool no disease lives longer than a millisecond. "Does your pool have water slides?" I asked in a childish tone. They shook their heads laughing. "Public pool with slides it is." Carson stood up. 

"Swimsuits, then the public pool," Nate repeated. "If you guys wait here for a sec, I'll put my suit on and come with you." They all nodded and I ran upstairs to put my black bikini on, slipped my shorts over the bottoms, and went back down. Kev had come in with the girls. "Headed to the pool, Fiona invited us to Patsy's for dinner. I'm gonna pretend to be your lawyer so you can get the bar back. That's all you missed. Love Ya. Bye." I then left with the group. 

"So then, I was like fake moaning and shit, but like, he knew it was fake. Funniest revenge ever though." I laughed, telling them the story of Carl and me. We were already on the way to the public pool. I got a text. 

*incoming message from baby boy*

Baby Boy: Hey, where are you? I ended up bringing Liam to the pool and you are nowhere. Where the fuck are you?

Nice. How sweet. Psht. 

Me: We are on our way, they needed swimsuits chill out. Meet by the bench on the slides. 

Baby Boy: Whatever, hurry the fuck up. I swear if I find out you're doing anything else...

"What an ass," I stated out loud. He is being way too overprotective. "let me see," Riley reached for the phone. I handed it to her. "Damn, I'm so sorry D. Why did you get back together with him anyway?" I knew I had to answer this question, I just didn't know when. "He meant the best." Which, wasn't a lie. They nodded. "Well, we support you. But enough of the deep shit and let's get happy." She passed out two Hyrdo's to each of us, which we all happily swallowed. 

We parked in the parking lot of the swimming pool and took our towels to the bench by the slides. "Hey, babe!" I shouted and wrapped my hands around Carl. He smirked, hot as fuck. "Where's Liam?" I asked, intertwining my hand into his. "Slides." He stated softly. "Hey, look out." He nodded his head in the direction of the girls i fought the last time i was here. Their faces were pretty messed up. I shrugged. It's not like they were going to try anything with me anymore. "It's alright. Hey guys!" I shouted to the guys who were already in the pool. They swam to the edge. "See the girls with the patched-up faces?" They looked around and nodded. "Done by yours truly." i happily bragged. They all cheered and high fived me. When i high fived Carson, he pulled me into the pool. When i came back up, I splashed them all. "Well played." I looked up at Carl, grabbed his hand and pulled him in. 

He came up for air for a quick second, then went back under and pulled my leg. I went under along with him. I closed my eyes and felt the cool water wash over my skin. Maybe it was the fact i was high, or maybe i just was now realizing how much i loved being in the water, but i really stayed under the water for a long time. So long, Carl and Nate pulled me out of the water. "You good?" They asked as i blinked a few times to clear my vision. I smiled wide, looked at them, "Very. You all okay?" The question was more to the other three. They all nodded. "Super. Oo lets go to the slides!" Riley took my hand and pulled me along to the slides as the guys followed. "Last one down gets to pay for our next meal!" Riley winked and got at the start of one of the four slides. Carl and Liam were going to race after us. "

Obviously I knew about what they meant when they said meal. Carl? He didn't need to know. Obviously I won the race cuz I knew which slide was faster. Cheating? Me? Never.
