CARTER

The restaurant is small, cozy and most importantly, not packed. We pick a booth by the glass windows which gives us a great view outside. Asides from ours, only two other booths are occupied. One with a man who’s wolfing down a burger and working on his laptop at the same time, and another by a man and woman, both of them locked in conversation as they eat.

Rory, who’s sitting opposite me, leans forward and braces her elbows on the table, staring at me expectantly. Her eyes are bright and shiny with some emotion I can’t exactly name but I attribute it to positive ones. Her lips are pink, her cheeks slightly rosy. She looks happy and so goddamn beautiful.

I could stare at her all day and not get tired of it. Not when it would give me the time to count the number of freckles scattered across her face. I’d attempted to count them once and had gotten up to nine before she’d turned to me and caught me staring so I’d had to look away. Haven’t been ab

    CARTER The restaurant is small, cozy and most importantly, not packed. We pick a booth by the glass windows which gives us a great view outside. Asides from ours, only two other booths are occupied. One with a man who’s wolfing down a burger and working on his laptop at the same time, and another by a man and woman, both of them locked in conversation as they eat.  Rory, who’s sitting opposite me, leans forward and braces her elbows on the table, staring at me expectantly. Her eyes are bright and shiny with some emotion I can’t exactly name but I attribute it to positive ones. Her lips are pink, her cheeks slightly rosy. She looks happy and so goddamn beautiful.  I could stare at her all day and not get tired of it. Not when it would give me the time to count the number of freckles scattered across her face.

    RORYI stare out the window gloomily, watching the people, shops and houses flash by as Carter drives at high speed. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been out in a while and finally stepping out today and reacquainting myself with the outside world makes me realize how much I’ve missed it and the thought of going back home so soon makes me want to gouge my own eyes out. Or maybe it’s because you’re out with Carter and those few seconds when you’d been eating ice cream, staring into each other’s eyes like love-sick teenagers and playing his version of twenty questions before he shut down, you saw him in a different light and you’re just scared that the moment he drives through the gates of your house, you’re going to have to kiss that charming version of him goodbye.I ignore the voice in my head. That is not why I want to stay out for a little bit longer. I’ve just missed the outside world because I’ve been cooped up in the house for too long, that’s all. And that’s perfectly normal.

    CARTER“You gonna get up anytime soon?”Rory is still laying down on the bed. She’s on her back, staring at the ceiling. She hasn’t moved a muscle in a while, so still I almost think she’s passed out if not for the fact that her eyes are wide open. She looks like she’s in deep thought but I’m not sure. “Shut up,” she mumbles, eyes still trained on the ceiling. “I”m craving something inside me.”“I could put something inside you.”I’d eaten her out not just because I want to prove to her that I can get her off in less than five minutes but also as a form of apology for the way I’ve been acting lately—and also because I just love burying my face in her pussy, breathing her scent into my lungs and drinking up her essence. Even now with her shirt bunched around her thighs and the knowledge that her pussy is simply there for the taking, has me swiping my tongue along my lower lip, desperate for another taste of her. The fact that I can still taste her doesn’t help matters and neither doe

    RORY “Text me when you get home!” I call to Avery as her uber peels away from the curb.  My brows fly up on my head. Why the hell is he driving like there’s someone chasing him? Sighing, I turn around and walk down the long driveway up to the house.  Avery had passed the night here due to how wasted she’d gotten yesterday, and there’s no way I was letting her go home in that condition. Some of the guys had volunteered to drop her off but I’d preferred her staying over so that’s what I’d gone with. She hadn’t objected either—not like she’d been in a state to anyway.  She’d been battling a serious hangover when she woke up this morning. Unlike me who’d woken up with a burst of energy. I’d called the cleaning company and they’d showed up almost immediately, getting the work done in record time. My backyard now looks clean as new and no one who sees it will be able to tell that I threw a party there just yesterday.  I’m craving

    RORY I get a taste of my own medicine not up to fifteen minutes later when I’m going to grab drinks from the cooler which, coincidentally, happens to be close to where Carter is sitting.  Ever since Andrew took that shot off my body, I haven’t been able to look Carter in the eye. He’d stormed off at some point during the act which is why I hadn’t seen him right after, but when he’d stepped back out, I’d allowed myself only one look at his face to gauge his reaction before I’d hastily looked away again.  His face had been set in that carefully neutral mask, the one he uses to mislead people into believing he’s indifferent to a lot of things.  Unfortunately for him, I know better. And I know what I did had affected him so much, he’d had to leave the room.  Except that shame has made it difficult for me to meet his eyes even when I know he’s looking at me. I’d completely avoided looking in his direction--which is why I had failed to not

    RORY I walk around, saying hi to the few other people that came in when I was changing upstairs. Being a host comes with many responsibilities---which is why I’d very much rather be attending a party than hosting it--and this is one of them.  “Hey Andrew,” I say to the last guy as I hug him. He’s a friend of Avery’s, but I’ve seen him a lot now that I’m a bit familiar with him.  “Hey gorgeous.” His eyes move over my body appreciatively when we pull apart, lingering on some choice areas. “Haven’t seen you around in a hot minute.”I shrug, allowing a smile settle on my lips. “Yeah, you could say I’ve been staying away from the tabloids.” Before, when I didn’t have someone who’s after my life, back when I could still drive out and go anywhere I want to without the fear of someone following me and possibly shooting at me, before Carter, Avery and I used to be the life of parties.  Barely a week could go by without my face, along with
