CHAPTER23

(Lady Juliette's POV)

The moment I open my door, I regret seeing two angry sluts staring at the people behind me and at me. They're wearing really short skirts and huge push up bandeaus.

I make a face and Carter chuckles quietly, quickly coughing to cover it up.

Samantha says "Hi Carter." in a high voice. Anna rolls her eyes and Samantha sits on his lap. Raven walks over to him next and sits beside him, holding his muscles in his arms.

I swallow the jealousy down and say "Please, come in." sarcastically and close the door.

Delilah snorts as Raven bends over to show cleavage. I simply smile and sit on my bed.
"What are you even doing here?" Delilah asks.

"Well, Carter spends too much time with you. We thought that we deserved some time."

"Well, you don't." Delilah snaps just as Raven finishes.

"Let's see what Carter thinks." Samantha attempts at a compromise.

"Leave." Carter says.

I smile and he smiles back before opening my door for them to leave.

I cringe as Samantha gives him her version of a goodbye kiss. More of a 'let's make out and make your fiancé even more jealous' kiss.

I look down and turn around to face Delilah and Anna.

Anna glares at Samantha and Delilah looks at me with a sympathetic smile.

I start to talk about how it's almost Christmas before Carter comes back and sits next to me.

I roll my eyes when I see a note in his hands from them. It has Carter in a curvy handwriting with hearts and lipstick marks all across the envelope.

He takes it so I can see, and throws it in the garbage. I smile and he sits back next to me.
We start talking about Christmas and how the Selected must do a project.

I have no idea what to do.

Anna says that they will help me, but I seriously don't have a clue.

Carter notices my nervousness and pulls me closer to him. He draws soothing little circles on my back and I start to calm down.
Delilah and Anna leave while Carter snuggles with me.

"Goodnight beautiful." he whispers.

I quietly laugh and fall asleep.

When I wake up, I feel large arms around my waist. I glance at my alarm clock.

5:47.

I kiss Carter's forehead and attempt to get out of his tight grip. He just holds me closer, if that's even possible, and whispers "Please don't get up."

I smile "Carter I have-"

"No you don't. You can stay here with me."

"Ten more minutes."

He smiles like he won the lottery and kisses me lightly.

He says "So, I was thinking that we could do something today."

"Like what?" I ask.

"I don't know-"

He kisses my nose.

"Go horseback riding-"

He kisses my chin.

"Go outside-"
