His Secret Child

1) The Kiss

|Emma|

As I entered Carter's house the flashing lights blinding my eyes hit me first as I was trying to take in the surroundings the loud music playing filled the house and my ears. I walked by the living room only to see there are some couples grinding on each other and a lot of jocks from our high school sitting on the couch smoking and drinking as they always do. I could hear a game of beer pong that has to be happening in the dining room. I laugh at the screaming and cheering that was happening, must be an intense game.

I froze when I saw him, he was standing by the doorway with a red solo cup in his hand and Rebecca on his arm. She was the "it" girl at our high school, every guy wanted her, I was jealous because she's gorgeous and I'm okay looking. I wish someone would look at me the way every guy looked at her. Rebecca always bullied me in high school because I was easy to pick on is that I never stood up for myself. But anyway, Carter dated her for exactly one month before he saw her making out with another guy in the janitor's closet. It was what everyone was talking about for a long time. He didn't seem too sad about it, but I still felt bad because no one should cheat, just be honest with the person that it's not working out. As I walked closer to him I could see this wasn't his first drink of the night because his cheeks are red and flushed, meaning he was probably drunk. I proceed to walk up to him even though he's in his drunk state.

"Em, you made it," Carter says smiling sheepishly, picking me up, and spinning me.

I slap his back playfully, "Carter, put me down," I say giggling.

"Welcome to your going away party, can I get you a drink," he asks me.

"Um, I don't know, Carter I have to get up pretty early, and I don't want to be hungover," I explain to him, putting some of my hair behind my ear.

"Em, I won't force you to drink you know that, but this might be the last time we can party together for a long time," he says smiling sadly at the part. He's right, I'm leaving I don't want to but I know he won't ever love me the way I love him, so I need to get away to try and move on.

"You're right, sure I will have a drink nothing too strong please," he nods his head before heading to the kitchen. I shift uncomfortably before realizing Rebecca is still standing in front of me. "Hey Rebecca," I say trying to be nice.

"So New York huh, that's pretty far away," she says taking a sip from her drink.

"Oh, yeah it is, but you know the college is really good,"

She put her hand on my arm, "Don't worry about Carter, Emma I'll take care of him," she says.

"Um, thanks," I say still uncomfortable.

"Anytime," she says winking at me, before walking into the living room, disappearing into the crowd.

That was weird.

"Here's your drink, darling," Carter says handing me my drink. I giggle he always calls me sweet nicknames.

"Why, thank you," I say before taking a sip, not too bad. Carter and I dance for a long time and drink some more together. Before I even realize I'm on the border of being pretty wasted and Carter is the same.

"Hey, I have to give you, your present let's go upstairs for privacy," Carter yells over the loud music, smirking at me. I nod at him, blushing when he grabs my hand leading me upstairs.

"Carter, you didn't have to get anything," I say to him as we walk up to his bedroom.

When we enter his bedroom memories fill my head, I smile at the thoughts as I take a seat on his bed. The party is starting to end so everyone was leaving one by one. Carter sits down right next to me digging into his pockets for something. He finally grabs it, revealing a small box...
I know he's not proposing, Carter and I are still too young, but I couldn't help but think maybe he was. I shake my head, hoping those thoughts go away.

"Here it is, opens it," Carter says with the biggest smile on his face.

"Okay," I say taking it out of his hands and laughing at his big grin.

I slowly rip the wrapping paper off of it, and opened the tiny box up, lying inside was a necklace that said EM in cursive, it's beautiful. I didn't realize tears were going down my face. I can't believe he brought this for me, I don't want to leave him tomorrow, not only because I'm in love with him, but also because he's my best friend too.

"Carter... it's beautiful....," I somehow manage to get out slurrying the words a little, but I'm trying not to.

"You're welcome, Em, I'm so happy you like it," Carter finally said hugging really tight.

"How could I not," I said still crying with happiness and sadness because I'm leaving tomorrow.

"Here turn around, so I put it on for you," he says making motions with his hands.

I turn around, moving my hair out of the way I feel his breath on my neck, making my breathing stop. I touch the necklace as soon as it's on my neck. I turn back around facing him, slowly breathing again.

I don't know how it happened because it was all so fast. But, Carter was kissing me I froze in shock. After a few seconds my lips start to move with his and kissing him back, I knew it was just the alcohol taking over our minds, but I didn't care. Our lips were moving in sync like we were making it kiss each other. His lips are soft and he's kissing me gently but also as if his life depends on it. I can't help but moan into his mouth, making him smile against my lips.

Oh god.

His hands disappear into my hair, kissing me harder and deeper, he pulls away a little and starts trailing kisses down my jaw and neck. I can feel his hot breath on my ear, making me stop breathing a little.

"Emma, you are so beautiful," he whispers into my ear before looking into my eyes as he slowly goes down to kiss my lips again.

"Thank you," I whisper back to him tangling my hands into his hair and tugging him closer to me.

We continue to kiss before we both look into our eyes, and Carter whispers to me.

"Emma, is this okay, are you sure I don't want to force you or anythi—," he asks me with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Yes," cutting him off before nodding my head and leaning back into him.

Our clothes end up on the floor of his room. And I can never be happier than this moment.

"You are my best friend, my human diary, and my other half. You mean the world to me and I love you."
