Working With The Devil.

Chapter sixteen - Carter.

Carter's POV.

Caleb and Lee had somehow convinced me to come to this party. I don't know how they did it but they did so here I am completely bored. I had been in parties scenes all my life so this was nothing new.

I had just arrived. Nothing interesting caught my sight until someone did. It was Kate, she was wearing a short blue dress and she straightens her hair. She looked beautiful no gorgeous. I prefer her curly hair though because I could just play with her hair – not that I've ever thought of doing that.

I was about to talk to her but the sight in front of her made my blood run cold. She was now talking to Caleb and she looked happier than before as they laugh and joke. Of course, she was happy, Caleb was the one she liked after all.

I watch them for a while and watch as Caleb leaves her sighing after him.

"Trouble with boys Kitty," I say cockily behind her but she wasn't expecting me so she jumps and gasps a little. She was cute.

"Don't sneak up on me like that," She scolds as she makes her way to the kitchen which took a while since she hadn't been here before.

"Sorry, not sorry," I smirk and she rolls her eyes playfully.

"What are you doing here?" She asks all of a sudden.

I just replied like the normal player I was "It's a party, of course, I'm here."

"Yep, this is definitely your scene," She says and I feel a little hurt but just roll it off.

"What about you? Why are you here?" This may be my scene but it was definitely not hers.

"No reason. There's no reason needed to be at a party is there?" She replies but I could tell she wasn't being truthful but I let it slide by nodding.

We were quiet for a while, everything was fine until my big mouth blurts out "So what were you and Caleb talking about?" Why couldn't I keep my big mouth shut?

"Stalker alert?" She jokes and I laugh. She had no idea.

"I was just in the wrong place at the right time." That was half true.

She rolls her eyes at my smart reply but she didn't answer my question and I didn't expect her to.

To change the topic I compliment her "You look great by the way." Great couldn't describe how she looked but I settled for it.

To be polite, she compliments me back "Thanks, you look nice too."

Now that hurt my big ego so I say "I don't look nice, I look handsome."

"Proud much?" She narrows her eyes at me,

"Definitely," I smirk and she laughs. I was happy she was happy because it seems she hasn't been lately.

We laugh for what felt like forever until she started to pour herself a drink. I've never seen Kate drink before. What really was wrong? I talk her cup and ask "Whoa, hold up. Are you drinking?" I watch as she glares at me but I didn't care right now.

"Yes, now give it back," She says pissed out then gripping the cup from me. She then takes a huge gulp. This was probably her first time drinking.

"You were meant to take a sip. Are you okay?" I quickly put my hand around her for support in case she fell. I couldn't help but be worried about her. I'll always be worried about her.

"I'm fine." She pushes me away and left while I watch her walk away.

I couldn't react much because a shoulder bumps into mine. I look up to glare at the person because right now I wasn't in the best mood but when I saw who it was, I tighten my fist. It was Jason and he was smirking right at me. Before I could even say a word, he walks away. I knew Jason was up to something but I didn't know what.
