The Bad Boy [Carter Reynolds]

The bad boy (19)

"Are you really sure, I can stay?" I asks, with a hoarse voice, stepping inside. Feeling a little bit nervous and insecure, but most cold and wet from crying in the rain.

"Yes, it's only me and my mom. My sister is at college and my dad doesn't live her anymore" he said, with the most comforting smile ever, even tough I can see a little sadness in his eyes when he mentioned his dad. I nod slowly, slipping of my wet shoes and he does the same.

"I'll go talk to my mom first. You can just wait up at my room" he say as he pointed to the stairs leading up at his room.

"Thanks" I mumbled, slightly embarrassed.

"No problem" he smiled briefly and walked into the living room to find his mother.

I walk slowly up the stairs, making no sound as possible.

I felt actually really better with Carter comforting me, even tough it was a bit awkward when he didn't know what happened. I have actually never seen this side of him before, so warm and protecting.

I open the handle slowly to see his pretty normal room. A big bed, standing in middle of the room, a big tv screen on the wall, and a simple desk and chair, standing by the window. I walk in and close the door after me, taking in his whole room. My eyes move to the silly boyish posters on the wall, and I couldn't help but to giggle.

I stand still in the middle of the room, thinking. Getting flashbacks of what just happened 30 minutes ago. All these questions that I have tempted to avoid, pops up in my head again.

Why was dad there? What were they hiding? Why couldn't they just tell me the truth? Why did I feel so alone and left out?

I missed him..a lot. I wonder what he has been doing all this time. I've missed him, even tough..he was being a jerk. That's the reason mom kicked him out, but I still think mostly about all the positive memories we had together.

The door handle turn and his sudden appearance startled me.

"Sorry" he chuckle, and I just laugh it breathily away.

"Here" he say slowly, as he handed me a folded blue oversized t-shirt, and a strong colored pink pajama shorts.

I laugh when I see how girly the clothes were.

"I hope this is not yours" I giggle and he does the same.

"My sister left some clothes here, before she left to collage" he say, and scratch his neck.

"Do you miss her?" I couldn't hep but to ask, but he just looked at me briefly.

"Yeah" he say slowly, cutting eye contact. "I do miss her" I nod, slowly reading his expression.

"You can change to that after the shower" he say smiling, holding both of his hands behind his back. I return the smile. A awkward silence fills the room, but I make sure to make it disappear cause I didn't want it to be awkward between us, when I'm going to stay the night.

"You sure, I can stay tonight?" I sigh and sit down at his bed, ignoring that I'm soaked wet.

"Yeah, it's okay...My mom doesn't mind" he smiled and sit beside me, making the bed more wet.

He acted so kind to me now.

I still couldn't help but to feel a little bad for just staying at someone, I have never visited before and not telling my mom about it. I still feel bad for her, but angry at the same time. What was she keeping from me? Why was dad there? I haven't seen him in such a long time. It didn't look like he cared at all to see me.

"Hey what is it?" He asks calmly when he noticed that I haven't said anything in a while. I quit out of my thinking gaze and look at Carter with an awe when he looks so worried.

"Nothing..just a lot going on" I sigh, and jump in my back, lying. He does the same, and close most of the space between us.

"You know, I could just call Kayla or something to pick me up and sleepover at her instead--"

"No!" He say and I jumped a little, at his sudden reaction. "Stay" he whispers and I nod slowly. "Okay" I whisper back, giving him and a assuring smile.

After a while of silence, thinking of everything on on my mind. All the questions, Carter suddenly interrupts my thoughts.

"So are you gonna tell me what happened or?" He asks, and I really feel like throwing something at him. But instead I act calmly so he wouldn't think I'm such a drama queen.

"Later" I smile assuring him that I'm fine and I don't want to talk about it.

"Okay..sooo, who's gonna take a shower first?" He smirks and I know exactly that he have a dirty thought in mind, as I return the smirk.

"We could always take it together you know" he wiggled his eyebrow, jolting my elbow.

"You wish, Reynolds" I giggled and left him, making my way to another door, to his own bathroom. Before I got in the room, I looked over my shoulder and see Carter leaning on the bed holding himself up with his elbow, biting his lips still looking at me.

I get in and sigh tiredly, leaning against the door. I put the clean clothes he gave me on the bench and strip off my wet, soaked, uncomfortable clothes.

Standing in only my underwear, I something imminently pops up in my mind.

Shit.

"Carter?!" I shout, desperately.

"Yeah?! Did something's happened?!" He shout, worried making me smile a bit.

"No it's just! Don't you have a locking key?!" I shout, trying to act as calm as possible. Even tough I was freaking out instead.

"Yes, it's in one if he buckets, I'll come in and find it for you"

"NO! NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! STAY WHERE YOU ARE REYNOLDS" I literally scream before thinking.

"What?! Why not?!" He scream back.

Cause I am in my underwear and I don't want you to see me!

"Just don't come in, just promise you won't come in" I hissed, feeling stressed as fuck.

"That will be hard but fine" he say and I can finally feel myself relaxing. I would be embarrassed to death If Carter would have accidentally seen me like this. It's not like I'm insecure with my body, it's just a boy have never seen me so nude before. And I couldn't even face Carter again, without getting red as a tomato if he ever saw me.

I couldn't find the key anywhere so I just ignore it and jumped in the shower. He promised me that he won't come in so I'll trust him on that.

Yeah..
