Teach Me Your Ways

Chapter five

Wednesday

I call a cab and head straight to the Bryson's house. The gate won't unlock and I'm pissed. I brought Payton with me though, I planned to stay for a while. I might have just wanted another delicious free dinner.

"What are you doing here, Noel Dawn?" I hear Carter voice from the box.

"Let me in."

The gates open and close behind me. I let Payton run free in their yard and make my way to the door. I was hoping to see Raven too, but I remembered she only comes on the weekend. Carter opens the door wearing shorts, a white tee, and tall white socks. His short sleeve shirt revealed his tattoos all on his arms, heading up to the back of his neck. I guess he noticed my reaction to his attire.

"What? I can't have one lazy day?" He shrugs and turn around.

I follow him inside. I thought he was just going to the living room, but I follow him all the way up to a bedroom. Long story short the house was nice as fuck.

He groans as he flops down on the bed. His room was admirably nice. His theme was black and gold. The balcony curtains were open revealing the swimming pool in the back.

"What happened last night?" I glare.

"What do you mean?" He mumbles.

"I watched the footage of you carrying me into my apartment, Carter."

"Ohhh....that." He chuckles. It was weird hearing a laugh come from him. I was convinced he had no laugh box.

"You went out with that dumbass when I told you not to. He spiked your drink or something  and you guys went back to his house. I just know that you were bumping into a bunch of stuff on your way home. I was.....on a walk and seen you."

"On a walk?" I question because it sounds suspicious.

"On a walk. You flirted with me." He chuckles again. "God, I should've recorded it."

"Ugh what did I say?" I palm my face.

"You sure?" He smirks. "Okay. You stated exactly that I need to get my quote on quote sexy, caramel ass back to your house so we can make Raven a cousin."

He lost me at sexy caramel.

"I'm honored you find me sexy, but sweetie you're not my type." He tries to let me down slowly.

"Carter, I swear David gave me something. I didn't mean any of it." I justify myself.

"Anyways, I carried you home before you could do anything else stupid."

"Okay, thanks." I mumble and start to walk away.

"You could've just called."

"I don't have your number."

"Check your phone." I get on my phone and go to contacts but there's nothing under C.

"God, what did you put your name as in my phone?

"S." He smirks once more.

I scroll down to the S's to see "sexy caramel." I glare at him and make my way out of his bedroom. I hear his heavy steps follow me.

I check my text messages to see a text from Louis.

Louis: Bitch when did you got fired? What happened?

Me: Fired? I called in sick today.

Louis: No, your name is removed from the calendar. David came in with a black eye today and threw away your name badge and your apron.
