Teach Me Your Ways

Chapter seven

Friday

The guys were able to make their own work schedule, must be nice being your own boss.

We were all sitting down at the island discussing a few things. It was Valentine's Day and the guys planned on throwing a party tonight.

"It's not anything fancy, just some friends over, drinks, stuff like that." Vante confirms.

"I can start decorating around 7:00." I say and they all smile.

"You don't have to decorate, Noellie. Just wear something sexy." Mateo winks.

I roll my eyes at him.

"Seriously, you don't have to decorate. Although if you want to, you are more than welcome." Carter stands up. "Just make a list later of things you want me to get."

I nod.

"I'm going back to sleep." Mateo says standing up and walking upstairs.

De'Vante leaves right after him.

Carter opens his mouth to speak but I get a phone call. I see Kai's name pop up. I answer and head up to my room also.

"Hey Kai."

"Hey, where are you? I'm at you apartment. I brought you coffee and flowers."

"I moved out. You're so sweet."

"To where?" I can hear him drive off.

"Don't be mad...."

"Noel, tell me." He urges.

"I'm living with Carter Bryson now." I mumble.

"I'll be there in five, be ready." I hear the tire screech as he hangs up.

I hurry up and run downstairs not wanting Carter or any of the guys to be near. I try to close the door softly, but with my luck Carter was outside with Payton. Fuck. They were playing fetch. I walk down the driveway ignoring Carter's yells for me. I see Kai's car pull up at the gate. He gets out knowing the gate wasn't gonna open for him.

"What are you doing here? Did he kidnap you?" He questions me as were face to face at the gate. I see his eyebrows furrow.

I feel Carters presence rise upon me and he places his arm around me. "What's wrong baby?"

I roll my eyes at what he's trying to do. I slowly try to move his arm away but he grips my waist harder. Stupid.

"Open the gate, Bryson."

"Nah, I'm good." He smirks.

"Noel you're not staying here. Why would you come to him if you needed help? Why wouldn't you come to me honey?" Kai makes eye contact with me.

"I work here, Kai. Things got complicated. I promise I was going to call you soon, I just got busy."

"Yeah, we got pretty busy last night." Carter smirks shocking me.

"Oh fuck you, she wouldn't sleep with you if her life depended on it." He rolls his eyes.

"Kai!" I widen my eyes shocked at him now.

"You don't even know these men. They could hurt you baby. They're murderers. You can live with me, you know that." He reaches his arm through touching me.

"I-

"Murderers? Us? Never." Carter smirks devilishly.

This man is legit joking about being a killer. What the fuck am I doing?
