Entangled: YOU, ME AND THEM

Reunion

Scarlett's P.O.V.

(At Scarlett's place)

"Thanks for the ramen by the way. It was good unlike you." I said, rolling my eyes at him and going towards my room. Clearly, we have ego problems. I don't even know why we were still here at my house together right now.

We literally cannot last for an hour without a fight. No matter how hard we try, we always end up strangling each other's throats like how we were doing currently to decide who sleeps on the cold, hard floor and who sleeps on the soft, comfy bed.

"This is my place, so I get to sleep on my bed. And besides, I am the more deserving one. You can just suffer on the floor." I proclaimed proudly, being the owner of the house.

"Yes, but I am the guest here. You should treat guests well. And for not giving me a chance, you should sleep on the floor. I shall sleep on the bed." Carter argued as he gently made himself comfortable.

As I was about to plop on the bed, Carter kicked me out, landing me straight on the floor. I was extremely pissed.

Before I was about to get up and push him off, I heard him snoring louder than a bulldozer, completely spread out on the bed.

Knowing that I would fail in pushing him out of bed due to his heavily built-body, I gave up and decided to sleep on the floor but not before making sure that he was wrapped around in a woollen blanket. He snuggled in and fell into a deep slumber. Or I thought so?

Tossing around on the cold floor, I stared at my star filled ceiling. I loved stars. They were my thing. I would always confide in them. My heart started having random thoughts. ' Maybe you should give him a chance Scar.' And with that thought in my mind, my sleep managed to get the better of me.

I groaned when I felt someone prodding their finger to my side and my arm, trying to wake me up.

Another sharp prod made me whisper shout at that person, "I am awake you idiot. Why are you waking me up?"

"Thank god. I was beginning to think that you were dead", Carter said as he peered down at me in the dark.

I squinted my eyes as I got up and stared at him, "What on earth...." Glancing at the digital wall clock I continued even louder and letting my annoyance seep through ".....are you doing waking me up at 3:30 in the morning?''

Carter sighed. "I felt guilty about making you sleep on the floor."

My mouth dropped open at his words and I said, "You realized it when I was already asleep and woke me up for that? You really have a death wish, don't you?"

Carter just shook his head as he plopped down beside me. "It was not right Scar. I was selfish."

I immediately placed my hands on his shoulder and shoved him away as hard as I could and grinned when I saw him literally slide on our hardwood floor and collide against the sofa.

"Wallow in your guilt Carter and don't you dare wake me up again", I muttered angrily and laid down, pulling the blanket over myself.

"But Scarlett....." He whined softly, making me snap at him.

"Don't you dare finish that sentence Carter. I need my beauty sleep. I don't care whether you do or not", I grumbled.

It was dead silent for a few moments, and then I heard the shuffling of feet and a few seconds later, I felt Carter push my mattress a little to the side and lie down on the floor beside my mattress, curling up like a cat.

I huffed at his behavior but still what I did next was just instinct. I couldn't possibly let him sleep just like that on the ground. Neither could I ask him to join me on that tiny mattress. So, I just scooted forward and raised my arm from underneath the blanket to envelop him within its warmth.
