Elijah
"So..you had a drunk Carter in your bedroom last night, you kissed not once but twice, he punched a dude in the face, him and Jade broke up, he had a stand off with this Noah character, he took photos of you at the park for his art portfolio this morning, Jade showed up........AND Y'ALL DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE KISS!"
I waved Thea off. "It's not about the kiss, the man was drunk. What we n--"
Her hazel eyes grew as she grabbed a pillow and threw it at me. I dodged it. "How drunk could he have been if he took a shower?! By himself?!" Her curly hair bounced and danced while she spoke in a hyperactive manner. "He wasn't even hungover!"
"He's good with his alcohol." I shrugged. She's completely missing the point of my story time. I don't want to talk about Carter and I kissing, it's stupid and meaningless. He was drunk and just found out his girl was cheating. It's simple math. "We didn't talk about it because it's nothing to talk about. Now can we please talk about Jade at the park?" I begged, needing to get this off my chest. I've never really had anything to vent about and if I did I'd go to Kayson but I don't have to anymore, so Thea needs to get her head in the game.
She rolled her eyes, giving in. "I don't like her but whatever."
"Okay. So. She pulls up out of nowhere,"
I proceeded to tell her about the events that took place only thirty minutes ago...
"What are you doing here?" His voice was cold which was ironic cause the death lock he had me in only brought warmth. His firm hug prevented me from breaking it ..
Not that I completely wanted to; if I'm being honest.
But I didn't want Jade to think he was putting the moves on me when they literally just broke up. She's a smart girl I'm sure she can find another way to blackmail me if she needed to.
"I want to..talk to you.."
Get in line sis.
I almost felt bad. Although I couldn't see her face she sounded all messed up. Like she's been crying her eyes out for hours.
Then I remembered that she's the reason Carter was crying last night. And Carter deserves to be stress free. I should throw my shoe at her, right in the balls. She must have big ones.
"No." No explanation, no nothing. Just...no.
I'm starting to think this situation is a bit awkward. I mean they just broke up because he caught her making kissy faces with his friend at a high school party then I'm just here...practically in his lap...just..here.
So I need to remove myself. But when I tried to Carter's firm hold only got firmer.
"Uh Carter..you can ease up a bit." My lips were right on his neck and if we weren't just friends this could be considered sorta sexual.
He ignored me and I just watched the tiny hairs on the back of his neck rise slightly. I wondered if I did that or Jade did it.
"Carter please, I ju--"
"No." His voice vibrated through his body and I was just feeling all of it. "I'm talking to Elijah."
His voice was sharp and his words were clipped. He sounded a lot like Noah right now. Jade was doing this, she probably doesn't even realize how much she's hurt him.
Maybe they should talk. Then there won't be any hard feelings. It could be healthy for both of them if they at least talked, maybe get some closure.
