Chapter 3- Moving
Me and Carter had spent the evening packing up my stuff and as we now approached the Carter Mansion I felt eternally grateful. Carter was driving the jeep concentrating hard on the road. It was packed full of my stuff. I had no where to put anything- including my bed the remains of which were shoved into a box at the bottom of Carters boot. Wow. It was huge and I suddenly wondered how lonely Carter and Gamma must get rattling around this old place alone. It was creepy- definitely creepy- but beautiful none the less.
Wow. Nice place Carter
Thanks- I like it anyway
Wow- thats your front door!
Uh- yeah
Its so big!
Carter smiled. Susan was so funny. She had always been able to make him laugh. Her face was hilarious. As soon as she had clamped eyes on the house her face had lit up like a little kids. Then again the house was pretty amazing. Carter had grown up here and seeing it everyday made him forget just how great a house it really was. Abby had never thought much of it. She hadnt grown up with much and just saw it as a bit snobby to have such a big house. Susan obviously didnt think like this- then again she would be staying here for the next few weeks.
He picked up the first of her bags and she took a huge box of belongings. There was plenty of space for storage at his house but he could tell Susan felt so uncomfortable bringing all this stuff in. She was blushing. Carter smiled again. She was so cute. Oh no. He had forgotten all about Abby. She would be mad. He searched his pockets for his cell phone- where the hell was it? He heard Susan shout his name and turned to see a tiny silver flip being thrown at him. He caught it- just.
Call her
Thank you
Dont mention it but its a good thing you caught my phone
Well I am the multitalented Dr Carter
Just get dialling
**************
Carter punched in Abbys number. It was ringing- he just hoped she picked up. Please pick up Abby. Please pick up. After 6 rings Abby picked up. She sounded pissed.
Hey Abby Its Carter
Oh- you decided to call then
Sorry Ive been busy he-
Carter I dont care okay. Look its late Im working in the morning- early. Goodnight
Abby let me explain- hello? Abby?
**************
She hung up on me!
I wouldnt have even picked it up!
Oh come on Susan- I had a good excuse
You should have phoned her
I was going to...
Hey its cold- can we go inside?
Sure Im sorry- Lets go.
I was shocked at how amazing the inside of Carters house actually is. It was honestly the biggest house Ive ever seen in my life. The ceiling is miles high and there is just so much space everywhere. Its all decorated perfectly as well. It just took my breath away. I felt so guilty I was going to clutter it up with my trash. I was day dreaming until Carter began to laugh. That sexy, naughty little laugh of his. How I missed that laugh.
Wow
Susan Lewis- you make me laugh
Sorry...
Susan blushed crimson. Carter laughed again. She was totally overcome by it all- it was only a house. But then again if youve never been in a house like this before... its something of a shock to say the least. Anyway Susans wide-eyed enthusiasm was cute- very cute. God Carter you shouldnt be thinking about Susan your in love with Abby.
You want the guided tour?
Um sure
Abby glared at the phone once again. John Carter should be ringing again any time now... she hoped. She hadnt given him time to explain earlier and she felt guilty- but he had blown her off completely tonight. Not only had he called about 5 hours too late- he had disappeared from the ER with Susan also. Susan was having a bad week and they were good friends- Abby understood that. What Abby didnt understand was why he had gone to so much trouble to help her today. Sure she had lost her apartment but it wasnt the end of the world. Abby had practically lost hers and he hadnt been anywhere near as worried about her- even with Brian next door. Abby then reminding herself who put her up the night after her attack- Susan. Really she should be much more helpful than she was. It was just Carter and Susan had so much history- she couldnt just ignore it- could she?
