Teach Me Your Ways

Chapter ten

Monday

"Tell me about Carter and Nicole. Mostly Nicole." I ask the guys as we play UNO as Carter's in the basement.

"Ugh I hate her. She is the devil's daughter." Mateo states plainly.

"Her and Carter have been off and on for about a year and a half. He doesn't love her and she doesn't love him. She loves the fact that's she's with someone rich who will take care of her and he's in love with the fact he can have sex with a model. Their relationship is toxic." Vante explains.

"They cheat on each other all the time anyways. Remember when Carter tried to break up with her a couple of months again and she cried and brought up her mom who was cancer." Mateo puts down a color changer. "Yellow."

"Uno." I state before they pile up plus fours, making me draw eight cards. "So she tries to make him feel bad so he stays with her?"

"The Bryson's mom died from cancer so he knows what it's like. The thing is I've never heard anything else about her mom besides that she has cancer." Vante shuffles the cards before dealing again.

"You think she's lying?" I ask laying down a card.

"That bitch is definitely lying." Mateo goes next.

"Who's lying?" I hear Carter say as he sits on the couch by me.

We ignore him and keep playing. My phone starts to ring and Carter grabs it looking at the name.

"Who's Louis?" He asks as I snatch back my phone. "Another one of your boyfriends?" I

I roll my eyes and pick up the FaceTime.

"Hey Louis."

"Hey girl, did the sexy motherfucker love you or not?" I hurry and turn down the volume. I hand Carter my cards. "Play for me."

I turn up the volume and go up to my room.

"You said that in front of all three of them!"

"Damn, you should've let me talk to Mateo." He winks.

I laugh. "And no he didn't really say anything but stare at me. I mean last night he came to my room and let me know what he doesn't care about me at all and that he cares only about their title so I need to stop being a slut." I ramble.

"I take back sexy, now he's a dumb motherfucker." He rolls his eyes. "I think he just knows you look good and wants you all to himself."

"He has a girlfriend."

"Is she pretty?"

"Gorgeous. But her mouth is rotten. She was a total bitch. Then she tried to hit on Kai with Carter and I still there."

"Ew, hate her already." He takes a sip of coffee. "How was Kai though?"

"Sweet as always." I smile. "He had to leave for work though."

"Damn, call him now."

"No, he's probably at work."

"Call him. I gotta get back to work before Mr. Thirsty fires me like everyone else. Bye babes!"

"Bye!"

I'll call Kai later, I need to actually do some work though. I put my phone on charge and start on the top floor cleaning. The very top floor was the most elegant floor. It seemed to be made to host balls or formal events. It still needed some work done too it. I gathered the laundry and old food from Mateo's room and restocked his bathroom with toilet paper. Since Vante's room was always clean, I only had to gather his dirty laundry. I clean out mine and Carter's bathroom and then into his room. It was so neat how we could access the bathroom from our room but then be able go out a different door and be out of it. It was too fancy for me. In my apartment, you go in one door and out the same one. I make Carter's bed but find a thong the sheets. Ew. Wearing my gloves, of course, I toss it into the trash. I leave his room and head down to the kitchen. After sanitizing my hands a hundred times for even being in contact with the underwear, I start to load the dishes into the dishwasher. I refill Payton's food and water bowel. He really does love it here. He's my best friend. The guys had left somewhere so I cleaned up their mess after playing uno and finally relaxed.
