Approval

*Cassidy's POV*

I woke up to my alarm screaming at me, which was odd. I usually was awake before it went off. Coming to my senses I realized waking up to my alarm wasn't the only thing odd about this morning. There was an arm draped over me! And it belonged to a body! Carter's body! I slept in the same bed as Carter! The memories from the night before flooded back and I realized how weak I must have looked and how messed up I must seem to him.

I tired to slip out of the bed only to be pulled back into his body. I rolled over trying to face him. He looked so cute and innocent when he slept. He pulled me closer and I couldn't help feeling content in his arms. As my arm brushed up against his skin I realized he was only wearing his boxers. I slept in the same bed as Carter and he is only wearing his boxers!!! What did I get myself into!?

I started poking his face trying to get him to wake up. "Carter. Carter. We have to get up." He responded by rolling over and crushing me underneath him. "Help! I'm being squished! I can't breathe!" I yelled, but it came out as some muffled noise. With all my strength I pushed him off of me resulting in him rolling off my bed and on to the floor.

"Ow what was that for!?" Carter whined as he got up from the floor. "For crushing me in your sleep!" I laughed.

I looked up to see him standing next to my bed in just his boxers. To say he was hot would be an understatement. I looked over his defined abbs and his toned chest. Oh how I would love to let my hands roam down his chest, feeling every smooth plane and muscle from his chest down to his stomach... "Cassidy." Carter said smirking. Oh God did I seriously just imagine that!!! "Like what you see?" He said. "I uhh...uh.." I struggled to think of anything to say. I have to get my mind out of the gutter!

"So technically you could say we slept together now." He said with one of his goofy smiles. We both stared at each other then burst out laughing.

"I am so going to use that later to scare my friends." I said still laughing. "Do they not approve of me?" He asked sounding worried. "No, they don't know you. They only know the rumors, which they don't fully believe, but they are my friends and they will try and protect me." I said with complete honesty. Carter had a reputation and not all the stories about him were in his favor?

"I guess they will just have to get to know me." he said while standing up. "Now go get ready for school quickly. We don't want to be late again." he said while walking out of my room. I got ready quickly thinking about Carter and what had happened since yesterday. He was the first person that wasn't a family member to know about my nightmares. He was the first person that succeeded in stopping them.

Maybe Carter has changed from who he used to be. I mean he has been nothing, but nice to me this school year. I know I'm not supposed to let my past affect my future, but I do and for that reason I still don't trust Carter.

We walked out of my house and to his bike. It was still drizzly out and kind of cold. We hopped on his bike and I put my arms around his waist letting the familiar sparks warm me up. We drove to school and as we approached I noticed everyone staring. I hid my face in Carter's back. I didn't want people to get the wrong idea and I didn't want to deal with all the drama.

Carter parked his bike to the side of the school and we hopped off. I was freezing by now. I didn't expect it to be so cold! I was about to run into the school where it would be warm until I felt something around my shoulders. It was Carter's leather jacket.

I looked up at Carter confused. "You were cold. You can wear my jacket to keep you warm." he said with a smile. I slipped my arms into the sleeves of the warm jacket. It was sort of big, but it was so comfortable! "Thank you." I said smiling.
