kind of a badass//Carl Gallagher

24

"Got some newbies." The guy who was shouting about the new game sat down in the circle in the second family room of the house. We all sat on the floor next to each other. "Okay newbies start!" Riley volunteered to go first. She eyed her brother. "Carson, truth or dare?" He chose dare with a big grin. "I dare you to... go play 7 minutes in heaven with... her." She pointed to the girl i beat in flip cup. The blonde in the cute jean outfit. He is definitely scoring tonight. She smiled widely, stood up, walked over to Carson, took his hand, then went upstairs. 

"Since he will be quite busy, You go next." She pointed to a random guy. The chocolate-hottie, damn why is everyone so attractive here, began looking for prey. I felt Tye's buff as fuck arm go around my shoulder ever so slightly, and gentle. Even respectably. So, naturally, I leaned closer to him. "Deli. Truth or dare?" It was Nates turn. I chose dare. "I want to live out this fantasy I've been bugging you two about," Sadly, I knew what the dare was going to be. "Make out with Riley." I rolled my eyes and Riley met me half way. I took a deep breath and kissed her. We made out for about ten seconds and backed away with everyone cheering. "Yeah yeah, calm your dicks." I looked around the circle. I dared a random girl to give another a lap dance to really throw the guys off. 

the game went on and someone got back to me. "Dare," I stated bravely because mama didn't raise... well... she didn't raise me at all. I didn't raise any bitch. "I dare you, to make-out with Tye." The girl giggled proudly at herself. it was a basic dare. I turned and looked up at Tye and he kissed me gently. It was nice. Sweet. He gently brushed his tongue against mine as we made out. It made me want more. Honestly, I didn't realize how long we'd been kissing until someone told us it was time to move on to the next person. Tye stood up, reaching a hand out for me to stand as well. "Give your dare to Riley." He said in a low voice. I did as told. He took my hand and we started walking to the other living area towards the stairs. His voice hit me like a ton of bricks. "No don't worry, I'm single." I turned to see Carl and a girl by the wall. "Yup. He definitely is." I stated loudly and told Tye we could keep walking. 

We literally just got back together. Literally today. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? He was the one crying about us being over this morning. HE was the one wanting to be together. it was HIM who cheated though. It didn't make any sense to me. Maybe he was drunk... does that excuse what he did? Maybe the girl roofied him... that wasn't possible. Was it? I shook my head, clearing my mind. "Welcome to mi casa." He shut the door behind him and I looked around the room. There were trophies for football around the room and a big king-sized bed. "What kind of accent is that anyway? I mean, it sounds New Zealand?" He nodded at my guess. "How'd you guess that instead of Australian? I mean technically it's the same accent." He sat on the bed and turned on the flat screen next to his bed. "I used to be in love with Australian guys and New Zealanders. Or Kiwis... but I don't know if that offends yall." I laughed a bit embarrassed and sat next to him. 

"Well, at least now I know I'm your type." He laughed flipping on Men in black. Weird coincidence because it was one of my favorite films. "I don't have a type. See Will Smith there? I've dated guys who look like him." His bushy brows lifted in shock. "I stand corrected then." He lay back on his bed and pat next to him. I lay back as well. "So that guy, he was your boyfriend?" I nodded at his question and then tried changing the subject by reciting the movie, "NYPD that means I will knock your punk ass down." He chuckled. "I take it you like this movie a lot." I nodded laughing, but he switched back to talking about Carl. "He seems like a real douche bag. You don't deserve to be treated that way." Oh and he doesn't even know the half of it, like how he killed my mother on accident. "It's normal. It's weird though. We just got back together this morning. He was crying because we weren't together. it makes no sense. Maybe he was drunk." I rambled. He put his arm around me and I cuddled into him. A total stranger. "Even if he is, that doesn't excuse what he did. I can kick his ass for you, you know?" I laughed shaking my head. "I'm fine. Plus, you're a total stranger." He lowered the TV volume, removed his arm and turned on his side to face me. Damn, he was pretty. 

"Ask me anything then." I took the opportunity to ask him questions about himself and he seemed to be a pretty cool guy. He can sing, play guitar, act, and play rugby. He moved here from New Zealand with his family, now he lives in a frat house and going to school for theater. A knock came on the door. 

"Yeah?" He shouted, not moving from the bed. "Is delilah in there?" I heard Carl's voice. He sounded pissed. Why was he pissed? He is the one who cheated. I shook my head frantically. "No dude, dont know a Delilah." The door handle jiggled and Carl busted through using a bobby pin. Wonder where he got that. "I knew you were lying!" He shouted and walked over to me. He grabbed my wrist and attempted to pull me off the bed. "Carl, you are the sweetest guy i've ever been with... that was... until you cheated on me. repeatedly tonight." I stood up and put my hand on his shoulders. "Now, get the fuck out before your balls go into your stomach. 'kay?" I put on a sarcastic smile. He shook his head. "Why so you can fuck this dude? Hell no. come on. i've been looking for you." He took ahold of my hand which i attempted to pull away. "You cheated on me. why are you pissed?" I was centimeters from his face, burning red, making eye contact to show him how serious i was. "I was looking for you after you went to the restroom, this girl gave me a drink and everything was a blur. She started making out with me." I didnt move. "That isnt an excuse. Are you saying she drugged you? That couldn't be true because if she drugged you you're speech would be barely able to understand. TRUST ME, i know! Plus you said you were single. So guess what. you are. now leave." He shook his head and stood his ground. He put his hands on my ass. "I wsant drugged i was drunk. As are you right now. Let's go." I shook my head. I was not going to let this asshole control me. "No!" i pushed him away. "You have three seconds to be out of here. Go fuck the pretty woman. I dont care anymore. bubye." I did care though. I felt it. 

Carl is the only person i've ever had real feelings for. Maybe i loved him. what? did i just think that? no way... okay i did. That's why this hurt so bad. It was like my heart dropped from my chest into my feet. I felt a few tears drip from my face. However, i was mad so my facial expression was pissed. "Do what you want tonight. We will talk about this in the morning." I rolled my eyes at him again as he stated that, moved over to Tye and i swear he whispered, "If you fuck her i'll kill you." before leaving the room. Right then, as the door closed, i dropped to the floor, gripping my chest. My high was still there but it was hard to even be abnormally happy right now with all of this. I mean yeah, i wasnt as upset as i should be. I was smiling. Laughing even. but tears were still streaming down my face. Weird.

Authors note (poll please  take)

I want to do this thing where you guys tell me what you want. So, should Carl and Delilah stay apart for a while but still have drama and love between them and get together again, later after they date other people?

or should they get together in the next day and forgive each other because they were drunk? Delilah would be stupid for doing so but maybe she can be stupid idk. 

let me know in the comments. (:  

i wont publish again until i get some comments so i know what you as readers want.
