Self-Control (BxB) *on hold*

Chapter 4: Carter

Blake POV

I stayed home Tuesday morning, just because.

I drove Vanni to school and told him I'd come back later to pick him up.

I sent a text to Carter.

Me: Yo dude, you think you can meet me at our ice cream shop?

SexyBeast: Asking me on a date I see ;)

Me: Carter shut the fuck up ;)

SexyBeast: Alright man be there in 20 lol

I put my IPhone 5 back in my pocket and drove to the ice cream shop.

Ever since me and Carter were little we always go here. It was kind if our meet up place.

I got there in about 15 minutes.

I hoped out my car humming some catchy song that was on the radio.

I went inside and ordered our ice creams.

Me getting Mint Chocolate Chip, and getting plain vanilla for Carter.

I grabbed our ice creams and took a seat in the far corner, waiting for Carter.

I took a spoonful of my ice cream, and sighed.

Doesn't taste as good as my Vanni.

I heard the door open, and there was Carter walking in like he fucking owned the place, with a cocky smirk on his face he made his way over to me.

That's my best friend for ya.

"Sup man!" He said obnoxiously loud as he slapped me up.

"Dude sit your ass down." I laughed, shaking my head. "Here's your ice cream, your favorite."

"Awww babe you know me so well." He said in a high pitched voice.

I stare at him, he stares back at me. Then we both just burst out in laughter.

Me and Carter were practically born best friends.

His parents are best friends with my parents so we basically grew up together like brothers. When I take position of alpha he was going to be my beta.

"So what's up man, why did you skip school?" He asked as he started eating his ice cream.

"My mate."

"What happened with Giovanni!?? Everything all right?"

"Everything's great actually, I finally worked up the guts to ask him out. But-." I paused my eyes drifting to outside.

"But what?" He asked with concern

"His birthday is coming up. 1 week and 6 days to be exact."

"Shit."

"Yea I know. I don't know if he can handle so much in one day, plus my rut is supposed to be the day after his birthday."

"Your in deep doodoo my friend. When Vanni finds out about you and him everything will be alright. Now the other thing.... I don't know how he going to take it. I mean it's been kept from him his whole life."

"I just don't want him to be mad at me ya know?" I said as I finished my ice cream.

"He's not going to hate you, even if you are keeping something from him. You are too loveable."

I laughed. "Wow I didn't know I was 'too lovable' sounds like you have a little man crush Carter."

"Haha very funny Blake." He replied as he pretended to glare at me.

I laughed and threw out our trash. I checked the time. It was 1:50 and I had to pick Vanni up at 2:05.

"Alright man I gotta go pick up Vanni. Text me later."

"Have fun lover boy." He snickered. I shoved him, smiling and waved goodbye.

I hopped in my car and droves my way to the school.

I made it there at 2:00.

I stepped outside, making my way inside the school. I waited at Vanni's locker.

The bell rang.

My heartbeat was quickening, and it felt as if there were butterflies prancing around in my stomach.

Was this how it felt to love someone?

I shook my head.

I saw Vanni before he saw me. He was making his way down the hall, avoiding any eye contact with anyone.

Too adorable.

With his head still down he walked up to his locker. I guess he didn't notice my presence.

I hugged him from behind, burying my face in his neck for a minute. Inhaling his intoxicating scent.

"Hey babe, how was your day?" I whispered in his ear. He automatically turned red.

"Baby you are too cute." I murmured as I kissed his cheek. I backed off so he could open his locker. I watched him as he got his stuff from his locker, storing them in his book bag. I took it from him to carry it.

I smiled sheepishly at him. "Thanks Blake." He said as he followed behind me as walked towards my car. "No problem babe."

I opened the door for him and closed it when he got in. Then I got in handing him his bag.

"So Vanni I was thinking we should go on our date Friday. Is that okay?" I asked calmly trying to hide my excitement.

"Sure. I'll have to ask my parents though."

I smiled at him taking my eyes off the road for a second. He really was perfect in every way.

There goes them damn butterflies again.

I dropped him off at his house, since he said his parents wanted him home.

I decided to take a nap.

My dreams filling with everything Vanni.
