Chapter 5- The Party?

Carter groans as he sits up and holds is back in pain from sleeping on the couch, the first word running through his mind is 'Logan'.

What the hell. He thinks to himself

He stands up and walks into his bedroom, peeling off the skin tight pants and see-through shirt. He tiredly tosses his clothes into the pile on the floor, and searches for some clean ones, soon throwing those on. Carter lazily walks into the bathroom and fixes his hair in the mirror, soon getting lazy and shrugging off the messy look.

He makes his way into the kitchen and grabs the nearest fruit he can reach before heading out and into his car, waving to Lucas, who happens to live across from him. He soon drives off, and arrives at work, not touching the fruit he brought to eat on his way there.

I wonder if Logan will be here soon. He smiled at the thought, then tried shaking it off.

Carter leans against the wall, waiting for some customers to arrive. He closes his eyes for what feels like only a second, starting to doze off right there.

"Carter?" A deep and familiar voice asks, causing his eyes to flutter back open. Carter immediately smiles at the sight of Logan "hey" he says groggily.

"I can come back later if you need to sleep" Logan says sweetly, moving closer to Carter "you should probably rest anyways, you had a long, exhausting night."

"No no, i'm okay" he reassures, bending down next to Logan's bus "i can finish this real quick."

Carter finishes up after an hour and tosses Logan his keys with a smile "don't lose these" he stands up and walks over to shake Logan's hand.

"Thank you so much Carter, i don't know what i'd do or where i'd be without you" Logan takes his hand, somewhat firmly shaking it.

Carter stares at Logan for a bit, hesitating to invite him to his party later "So uh, i'll see you around then."

Logan smiles widely "Maybe the club tonight? i'll be there tonight, hopefully i'll see you there" he starts getting into his bus, his eyes glued to Carter.

"Yeah, i'll be there later in the night" he smile, something coming over him as Logan stares at him.

"Great, i look forward to it" Logan bites his lip and winks, soon driving off to leave Carter with his own thoughts.

Fuck.

/Cafeteria/

Carter sits at the same table as before, staring at the table as he thinks about Logan and how his assurance about being straight it completely shattered.

Lizzie. He thinks. She's beautiful, we like her, because we're straight, we like women. He tries convincing himself

Lizzie walks over to him, sitting across from Carter, noticing how deep in thought he is "Hey, Carter? You okay?" She reaches her hand over the table, resting it atop of his.

"What?" He looks up, his eyes meeting hers "Oh, Lizzie" his smile widens almost instantly, "Uh, hey, i wanted to ask you something."

"Alright, shoot" She's too distracted studying his face to notice her hand still laying on his.

"I'm throwing a little party tonight, and i was wondering if you wanted to to come, you can bring friends if you'd like, i promise it'll be something you won't want to miss." His smile brightens as he talks to her.

"Oh yeah, of course, i'd love to! i can bring my friend Cade, she'll love it" She let's out a small laugh, brushing her thumb over the top of his hand.

"Great" He bites his lip, trying to contain his excitement "i can't wait to see you there!" He soon notices the repetitive motion of her thumb moving back and forth across his skin, his eyes falling upon her hand.

"Oh, sorry" A tint of blush comes over her face as she pulls her hand away. "i should go" she smiles "i need to get my work done before tonight so i can come to the party" she slides off the seat and waves to Carter "see you tonight" she waves, leaving the room.

Tonight. He smiles to himself, watching her leave
