All That We Are...

Chapter 16

Henley

Trying to roll to my side I realize I can't because Carter has his leg laying over both of mine so I'm pinned in place. Not wanting to wake him I gently try to lift it off me.

"Don't." He groggily says beside me. Turning to look at him his eyes are still closed.

"You must talk while sleeping. Another thing I discover about Carter..." I trail off being unaware of his last name. I let this man give me my first orgasm but I don't know much or anything about him. Every time I ask something he always changes the subject. I have never been so curious about someone like I am about him.

"What's your last name?" My voice shakes a little. He opens his eyes now locking them with mine. Covering his face with his hands he moves his leg from mine while turning to his back with a groan. 

 "What's yours?" He repeats the same question I just asked. I hear the annoyance in his voice. Crossing his arms over his chest he turns his head back to look at me.

"Its Smith. Clearly you haven't noticed any of the certificates hanging on my walls." The minute I say it he looks around my room nodding his head.

"Obviously I have. I've been in this room a lot the past month. I just don't see why it matters?" He turns he's head back at me shrugging his shoulders a little.

"Its just a last name Carter, you could even tell me a wrong one its not like I would know the difference." Now I turn onto my back feeling a little defeated. He shifts back to his side resting up on his bent elbow I can see him from the corner of my eye.

"Its Brown. That's my last name." He answers me honestly. Looking back at him he smiles just a little bit and my heart warms inside of me.

"Thanks." I say it quietly.

"We should probably start to get ready we have a busy day a head of us." He crawls out of bed and I sit up straight just watching him gather all of his things off from the floor. He gives me one last shy smile before he heads out the door.

I fall back down on the bed and try to take in everything that happened last night. I'm not sure how he feels about it and I don't know if its something we are going to have to talk about later on. Yesterday he told me he couldn't stay away from me but that we also shouldn't be acting on our feelings as well. The feeling I get inside me though when he is around is becoming unbearable to control. Leave it up to me to fall for someone while the world is turning to shit.

Once I am dressed and leave my room I go to the kitchen where Maria has breakfast already set up for everyone to come and grab something. Not really hungry I eat a little not wanting to waste it. My dad walks in holding his hands up like he's calling a truce.

"I'm just coming in to give you something, please don't throw your plate." He walks over to stand in front of me. Feeling a little quietly about throwing my dinner plate at him last night I push my half eaten breakfast to the side.

"Sorry, I shouldn't of acted that way." I say to him not being able to look him in the eye.

"No Hen, you had ever right to act that way. A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Your brother and you have grown up faster then I would of liked. As much as I wish you were still my little girl your not and I have to let you make your own choices." Reaching over the table I place my hand in his furry check. Placing his hand on top of mine he pats it a little then we both them drop back to our sides.

"Henley we got to get going. The sun is up If we want to get back before dark we need to leave soon." Max says from the doorway. Jumping off the stool I go to follow my little brother.
