Royal Deception

chapter nine

_________________________________________

With no makeup , my super long cotton shorts , a white t shirt that was almost the same height as my shorts and my plain crocs I was ready to go.

"Chloe hurry up please!"I yelled for the trillionth time.

It was quarter to two , I was supposed to have met up with Carter two hours ago so apparently I had the right to yell.

"What are you wearing?"
She asked horrified leaving the studio with her skimpy shorts and a crop top honestly I just didnt understand all that.

"Clothes" I replied in a clipped tone.

"No makeup!" She yelled.

"I forgot we were going to a fashion show , not a public grill "

"Have some decency and try to look like a female" she attacked.

"Hey atleast I put lipstick"

"Balm you applied lip balm not lipstick" she retorted annoyed.

"Is there even a difference" I defended confidently.

"No shit captain obvious" she said giving me a 'you're so stupid look'

Getting in her car we both looked so pissed. But being the goody two shoes I am , I felt the need to apologise.

"Chlo I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier I was just frustrated that I was late" I smiled.

"Its fine cousin I'm sorry too I mean it's not my right to question your style"

"I told you to stop calling me cousin" I whined

"We'llnever stop arguing will we?"she asked delighted

The drive was quiet , no radio, no sound just air and speed wave sounds.

So finally we reached Jojo's Grill and for a public grill , you guys it looked so classy.  Who classically designs a grill?

"Let me walk you in" Chlo suggested.

"Okay mom" I rolled my eyes. We walked into the grill.

He looked outstanding ,sitting in a corner with that seductive face I'm close to drooling ,  I thought to myself.
Look I know I hate Carter's guts but his face is just a whole different topic.

"Hi" he greeted once we'd reached the table he was sitting on.His greeting was more directed to Chloe so I decided to ignore it.

"Hey" Chloe replied with a big smile and before they could converse any further he gave her a tense gaze that was enough to make her leave.

Rude much.

"You're late" he snapped once I'd perched infront of him.

Here we go again. So Einstein says reverse psychology works all the time . Lets play a game shall we.

"I'm sorry I'm late Carter" I replied calmly.

He looked taken aback so I waited for him to snap out of it before we began to discuss.

Ten colas, six burgers and a fat bill later we had come up with the most extraordinary project ever. And I have to give him credit the guy was a beauty with brains.

I called Chloe continuously and to my luck ,she wasnt picking up.My first guess was that she was probably abusing her couch right now with Henry, yes the couch now belonged to her for It had been long since I'd disowned it.

"I'd be leaving now" said Carter standing up like an old merchant.

"Yea bye"

"I don't mind dropping you off"
He said with a cheeky forced smile.

"No thank you" I replied depending on nothing but my big ego to get me to the studio.

"Fine then!" He snapped walking out. Goodness was he bipolar.

I needed a way to get to the studio. Therefore I had two options,  either I was going to stop Carter before he went any further and accept his offer

Or I would sit here and cry until I found salvation waiting for Chloe. The latter wasn't amusing so I decided to follow Carter outside.

"I accept your offer" I called out and he only looked back , stared at me then nodded.

Walking behind  him ,he directed me to his truck.

It looked like something he snatched from a 90's movie but I love old stuff which Is why I instantly fell In love with it.

"Cool car" i commented.

"Thanks" he mumbled.

I wanted to talk to him , good riddance I was dying to talk to him call me crazy but just like juliet 'my only love had sprung from my hate' except i didn't love him , well i may or may not have had a teanie weanie beanie bit crush on Carter and it was reasonable i mean have you seen his face but i hated him as well. 

I think i needed a therapist.

He dropped me off at my studio and drove off after whispering the word bye.

I walked to the studio door thinking of how I had a good time and I was sure nothing would spoil my mood tonight , well that was until I walked in on my cousin naked with Henry's exposed butt cheeks on display.

Dont you just love my cousin? I know you do.
