Chap 11: packing to leave (SYDNEY AND CARTER)

Sydney's POV 

It's Wednesday and we just got out of school. Today is the first day in almost three weeks that Carter isn't coming over right when we get home. We both have to pack for our trip to Tennessee. I have started picking out clothes but I haven't gotten to the point of actually putting them in my suit case. I actually don't even have my suit case out yet but that's okay because I'm OCD so it's easier if I can organize before I have to pack. 

I start by gathering 5 pairs of underwear and 5 bras making sure one is strapless for my dress at the wedding. I then grab the five different outfits I am taking. I am packing five because the wedding isn't until Saturday afternoon and I don't want to walk around in my dress all day while I am getting ready. I also put in 5 different things to sleep in because me and Carter are gonna be sharing a room the whole trip.

I make sure I have all the shoes I need and a purse that will match each outfit. Then I start with all the bathroom stuff. I grab my new bottles of shampoo and conditioner, my body wash along with a scrubby thing, my face wash, and my razor. I put all of this into hard clear containers meant to carry bathroom supplies that can easily bust. I grab my straightener, my curling wand, all of  my makeup (which I also put in a hard case so it doesn't shatter), and a new toothbrush and toothpaste I just bought for the trip. 

I go over everything I have to make sure I have exactly what I need. After I double check my items I call Garry, our butler, to get my suitcases out of the hall closet and bring it to me. Once he brings them to me I thank him and start to put everything in my suitcases neatly. I have a special suitcase for my shoes that I put inside my big suit case so that my shoes don't get my clothes dirty. I am also bringing a carry on suitcase so that if my luggage gets lost I at lease have my makeup, shoes, dresss, and curling iron for the wedding. I make sure I put my makeup on the very top of all my clothes because I still have to use it in the morning before I go to the airport. 

By 5 o'clock I am finished packing and decided I should take a shower. Right as I was getting off of my bed I get a text message.

****TEXT****

CARTER: HEY ARE YOU DONE PACKING YET?

SYDNEY: YEAH. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SHOWER. WHY?

CARTER: I WAS WONDERING IF YOU WOULD COME OVER AND HELP ME PACK BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PUT EVERYTHING IN MY SUIT CASE SAFELY AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EVEN BRING. 

SYDNEY: YEAH OF COURSE I'LL COME OVER. LET ME SHOWER FIRST AND PUT ON SOME COMFY CLOTHES AND THEN I'LL COME OVER AND STAY OVER FOR DINNER?

CARTER: YEAH I'LL ORDER SOME CHINESE. MY MOM IS WORKING LATE AND MY DAD IS OUT OF TOWN UNTIL LATE TONIGHT. IS THAT OKAY?

SYDNEY: YEAH THAT'S FINE I'LL SEE YOU IN THIRTY MINUTES

****END OF TEXT****

I shower and then put on shorts and a sweatshirt. I don't wear shoes because it's across the street and I won't have them on once I get there anyways. I get to his front door and walk inside. I know this seems a little weird for someone to do but I am always either at his house or he is at mine so we just walk through the front door now without knocking. Especially if he is home alone. 

I walk up the stairs to his room and open the door. He's laying on the bed with his shirt off and man did he look hot. He looked up when he felt me staring at him and then he stood up. I looked at him with this look that said "come on we need to start packing" and he walked over to his dresser and put a t-shirt on. I have to admit it made me kinda sad that he put a shirt on. I could stare at his stomach all day.
