Can You Tell From the Look In Her Eyes?
Always Cussing and Crying
Jaime and I arrived at the Chinese place only to find the ATL boys stoned out of their mind ordering about $100 worth of food.
"Hey, guys!" I yelled.
"Hey, Carter!" Alex yelled and hugged me.
"What's up, homie?" Jack yelled, doing some sort of bro-hug thing.
"Hey," Sack said with an apologetic smile on his face, which I ignored.
Rian simply motioned that his throat was hoarse. I stepped in for a hug and the minute his hand touched my hair I froze. Why am I being like this? I thought frantically. I've been fine all day but the minute Rian hugs me I freeze up! Urgh!
I pulled away and I thought I saw something flash across his face like... relief? Well, I'd be worried too if I went to hug someone and they froze up like that.
"What's wrong, Frenchy?" Alex asked concerned.
"I, uh... I don't like people touching my hair," I smiled weakly. "And Frenchy?"
"Pink hair," he gestured to it without touching it, for which I was greatful. "Duh."
I giggled. "Does that make you Doody?"
"I guess I am," he chuckled.
"Can I be Kenickie?!" Jack pleaded.
"Of course, Jacky! Now, go eat your stoner food before it gets cold!" I laughed. The boys left, but I still couldn't shake that feeling I got when Rian hugged me. It hadn't happened all day, or maybe he was the first to touch my hair. Although, the PTV boys had touched it and I hadn't had a problem. Maybe it's just because I'm not as comfortable around Rian as I am around Alex and Jack.
"Preciado!" The lady behind the counter called. Jaime got the box from her and paid for it, taking me to a little park where a bunch of blankets lay scattered about.
"Now I know it isn't super romantic, but I rather you were warm than see you freezing to death by candle light," he grinned and his dimples popped to the surface.
"I like it," I smiled and kissed his nose. "It's romantic in its own way."
We ate and laughed the night away. After we had finished our food, Jaime and I cuddled under the largest blanket and watched the sunrise. It was definitely romantic.
"Come on, Carter," Jaime chuckled, lifting me into his arms, "You need some shut-eye."
"Are you saying I need beauty sleep?" I grumbled jokingly.
"Nope. If you never got another wink of sleep, I'd never find someone nearly as beautiful as you. I'm saying your big, beautiful brain needs to get some rest from overthinking," he winked.
I sighed, nestling my head into his chest. He smelled amazing. Just... clean. It was manly but clean. Like he hadn't put cologne on and that was just his natural scent.
All too soon, he set me down in my bunk and kissed my cheek.
"Goodnight," I sighed, turning to look into his eyes.
"Goodnight." His eyes sparkled even in the dim light and that's one thing I'll never forget.
I fell asleep, only to be woken an hour later. Apparently, I had been screaming in my sleep and thrashing around. Jaime and Vic's concerned face were waiting for me to wake up.
"Why'd you wake me up?" I grumbled, rubbing my eyes, only to be met with fresh tears.
"You were screaming and crying and flailing about. Jaime and I were afraid you were going to hurt yourself," Vic said softly.
"Vic, I'll take care of her. Go back to bed," Jaime whispered.
Vic nodded and padded back to his bunk.
"Can you stay with me?" I asked Jaime.
"Of course, sweetheart," Jaime smiled softly.
I tensed up. The last person who had called me that was... him.
"I'm sorry if I did something, Carter," Jaime whispered, noticing my sudden change in demeanor.
"He," I spat the word with all the venom I could muster, "Called me sweetheart." I said the last part quietly, hoping Jaime wouldn't hear.
"Hey, look at me," he pleaded lifting my chin up softly. "I'm not him. I'll never hurt you, never force you to do anything you don't want to."
I smiled and he kissed my nose, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into his side. I snuggled up against his bare chest and felt content. You're in love, bitch. My mind said.
That I am.
"Hey, guys!" I yelled.
"Hey, Carter!" Alex yelled and hugged me.
"What's up, homie?" Jack yelled, doing some sort of bro-hug thing.
