Chapter 6
"..When we arrived to my place, I let up the garage. I usually just park in the parking lot outside of the garage but I didn't feel like getting out in this storms weather, it was getting worse by the minute. it was barely cars outside in their assigned spots, so I hoped to God it was a spot available inside the garage. I lucked up and found a spot close to the elevator, we gathered our things and got out. it was so cold, I just couldn't wait to get inside. when we got to my floor, the anticipation was only growing stronger. But apart of me could not believe I invited Carter to my house. what the hell was wrong with me. I couldn't wait to tell Kelley about this shit.
"These are really nice.." He said complimenting my Condo building.
I chuckled "Thank You. My daddy, he's kind of a luxury maniac.. especially when it comes to his girls. Me, I don't care so much"
"Ahh, sounds like my type of guy.."
I opened my door.
"Here we are.." I told him. the rush of heat hit my body, and it felt so damn good. you see, when I know what the weather is going to be like I set my house temperature due to that weather. so that way, when I get home I'll be comfortable. since I knew it's been cold, storming, and raining lately, I keep my heater on low. so when I get home my house would be warm. smart right? yeah I know.
"You can hang your coat right there if you'd like." I said pointing to my coat rack right next to my door. "And besides that, make yourself at home. I'm gonna go get out of these clothes and then I'll be right out okay?" It seemed like he just couldn't stop looking around. but he simply nodded.
"Thank you."
I went into my room, took my hair out of my bun, took my clothes off. I put on these grey nike sweats that hugged my figure, along with a thin hoodie to match it. I was determined to be as comfortable as possible, of course I took off my bra. but it's not like he would have been able to tell, unless he was gawking hard. so I wasn't worried. I washed my face, took a blanket out of my closet and I was on my way back to Carter. I was only gone for 10 minutes. when I came back in I seen him sitting on the couch, going through his phone. he seemed relax.
"Would you like something to drink?" I asked him, to let him know I was back.
"oh uh sure." he said turning around to face me, and my island counter top that surrounded my small kitchen.
"what would you like? I have water, Cranberry juice, orange juice, and wine." I asked him, going through my fridge. "or hot cocoa.."
He smiled, "I'll have whatever you're having.."
"Are you sure?"
"positive." And there he go, finding my eyes again. I walked over and sat my blanket down.
"you can watch tv if you want." I said handing him the remote I picked up off of the table.
"Nah, I'm alright. i don't watch to much television. unless it's ESPN. and quite frankly I'm not really interested in that right now." His eyes never left mine, but what the hell did that mean? whatever it meant it got me nervous and shit. and I need to keep my distance, or things could get real messy. I quickly nodded and went back into the kitchen to fix our hot cocoa. it was an awkward silence. before I knew it I was walking back to the couch to hand him his cocoa .
"I put vanilla abstract and cinnamon in my cocoa. so I hope you like it." I told him with a slight giggle. his eyes got kind of big, I could tell he wasn't expecting that.
"Oh- um, I'm sure I will.." he was so sarcastic, it made me laugh. then he started laughing. what was he laughing at.
"I love your laugh." he said, still laughing.
