– Carly's POV –
Six months. That's how long we've been dating, and god, it's been amazing. I'd never felt so happy and content with life in so long. Shelby's been understanding and there for me every time I needed her. She's been so good to me, and I seriously think I'm about a hair's width away from falling in love with her.
She doesn't pressure me into doing things I'm not ready for. She understands that I'm not ready to have sex with her, and even if we get so close and I start getting nervous, she stops even when I know she just wants to push forward. I could see the disappointment in her eyes, but she's never said anything hurtful or call me a tease or anything.
I possibly think I really could fall in love with this girl. She's so caring, understanding, and sweet. If and when the situation calls for it, she'll get aggressive, possessive, and in your face. Luckily though, there hasn't been much of those situations.
"Hey, babe?" Shelby called from the stool at the breakfast bar in front of the computer, catching my attention. I turned away from the TV and looked at her, giving her my full attention. "Wanna get some BF Wangs?" She asked out of no where. One of the many things about her I found charming was the way she would spontaneously do things and go to places, and she'd always include me in whatever it was she wanted to do.
"Yeah, sure, why not? I'd like some chicken wangs right now," I paused to smile, drawing out her reaction. When nothing came I sighed. "You know... chicken wings.. wangs? BF Wangs?" I tried to explain to her. She just gave me a blank look. Then there was the thing I disliked about her. She didn't understand any of my jokes, even after I explained it to her thoroughly. "Never mind, I'll go up and grab my jacket and purse."
As I made to get up to get to the stairs, she stood up and grabbed onto my arm. "It's fine, I've got an extra jacket in the car."
"Okay, I'll get my purse then."
"I'll pay."
"But-"
"No buts, I'll pay."
"Fine," I relented. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me. Just as she was about to lean down for a kiss, my phone started ringing.
"hands down there will never be another one,
I been around and I never seen another one.
look at your style they ain't really got nothing on,
and you out and you ain't got nothing on.
baby you the whole package, plus you pay your taxes,
and you keep it real while them other stay plastic.
you're my wonder woman call me Mr. Fantastic.
stop.. now think about it"
Shelby moaned in disapproval and dropped her hands from my waist. "I really wish you'd change her ring tone," she complained as I stepped away from her and leaned down to pick up my phone. Before I answered I gave her warning look. This wasn't the first time she complained about the ring tone set for each and every time Sam called and sent me a text.
"Hey, Sam," I greeted.
"How goes it, Cupcake?"
"It's going," I answered. "What's up?"
"It's been a while since we've hung out, was wondering if you wanted to grab a bite to eat or something...?" she asked uncertainly. I felt my stomach drop to my feet and guilt stabbed at me. "Carls?" she called after a few seconds of silence. "We don't have to if you don't want to, I was just asking, is all," she rambled on. The sadness and uncertainty in her voice broke me from my moment of zoning out.
"I'm sorry," I apologized. "I was about to go out to eat with Shelby at BF Wangs," I informed her. Silence hung thick in the air on her line and I removed the phone from my ear to see if the call was dropped. "Sam?"
"I'm here."
"Okay...," god this phone conversation was so awkward. "Would you like to come with us?" I finally asked. Shelby was immediately by my side shaking her head no, I ignored turned my back on her.
"Nahh, it's fine. Maybe next time," her answer was soon followed by the dial tone. I stood there for a minute, staring at my phone in disbelief. Did she really just hang up with out saying bye? When the timer blinked repeatedly, showing how long the conversation was, and the screen went black my question was answered. She really did hung up without saying bye!
I can understand angry and hanging up without a proper goodbye, but just hanging up in the middle of a conversation? That's never happened before! I mean, I know we haven't really hung out in a while ever since I started going out with Shelby, and she feels left out... but jeez!
"So she's not coming with us, then?" Shelby asked in my ear, wrapping her strong arms around my waist from behind and placing her chin on my shoulder. I shook my head. "Great! Let's get going then," she said almost too happily, giving me a kiss on my cheek before dropping her arms from around me.
As she walked past me to get to the door, my phone vibrated in my hands. Before the ring tone could go off, I accepted the text message and smiled widely after reading the text.
"Babe, you ready?" She asked, standing at the door giving me an expectantly look. I nodded my head with a smile on my face and walked towards her after locking my phone and jamming it into my pocket. I walked over to her and gave her a lingering kiss on the lips. "Or we could just stay here and make out," she said suggestively after the kiss ended. I shook my head and giggled as I grabbed her hand and led the way out of my loft.
"Sorry I just hung up on you, some asswipe bumped into me from behind & made me drop my fone. We'll hang out next time. Have fun grubbing on chicken wangs from bfwangs! =)"
