I don't own the character or the show.
Chapter: 8
Carey decided to take his dad's car this time instead of walking even though the weather was quite nice. And he arrived at his destination in under a minute. He walked right in the house, which was a common practice; none the Phillips/Thelens knocked at the Bell's house or did the Bells ever knock at the Phillips house. They were one big happy family that just got all messed up because of one night.
Molly was sitting on the couch next to Jack looking at some pictures. While Annie was talking on the phone in the next room.
"Hey guys." The younger two looked up and nodded at his presence.
"Carey check out these pictures that Fi sent." Carey walked behind the couch taking the long way where he "accidentally" brushed Molly's leg (she did a good job of not noticing). They were pictures of Fi and two other teenagers at an amusement park. Nothing that exciting but Carey could tell it was making Molly very happy.
"Who are they?" He pointed to the red headed boy and the brunette girl trying to act like he gave a damn.
"Um that's Melissa, Fiona's new best friend. And that's Jeremy who's Melissa's boyfriend." Molly answered.
"Well if you'll please excuse us Jack me and Carey have a lot of work to do. Carey did you bring your guitar?"
"Of course it's in the car. Jack here (drops the keys down) can you get it for me?"
"Sure." The moment he was out of the room Carey reached over and kissed Molly who kissed him right back. Then quickly pulled back with a shocked expression on her face.
"Carey! Annie's like ten feet away!"
"I knew, I just couldn't help myself." As he was going in for another kiss the front door opened with Jack and guitar in hand.
"Here you go."
"Thanks." Jack then looks at their direction with a very confused expression, for a moment they innerly panic thinking he knew.
"What is it Jack?" Molly asks in a slight shaky voice.
"I'm not sure. Oh I remember! I have to go to the library and get some books on Edwin Couch." Yet again the secret stayed that way.
"I'd head over there now honey, before the afternoon crowd comes. Here you can drive yourself, take Annie with you."
"Why?" Annie calls out.
"Don't you have a report on reptiles due next week?"
"But that's next week!"
"Annie a little head start won't hurt you." With that tone Annie knew the argument was over before it even began.
"Ok I suppose I could do that." Jack finally answers. He takes the keys from the hook by the door and with a noticeable pissed off Annie leaves with a wave.
With only the two of them left they look shyly at one another as if strangers meeting for the first time. Well isn't this fun? Carey thinks, while at the same moment Molly was thinking the same thing.
"You thirsty?" Molly finally breaks the quiet.
"Not really." Carey had no idea what in the hell he should do now, nothing felt right. He couldn't explain it.
"How did you explain your never coming home last night to your parents?"
"I just said I went over Greg's and crashed on his sofa and didn't remember to let them know. Hopefully they won't say anything to Greg about it."
"I don't see why they would."
"True." There was a long pause, he wanted to kiss her again but made no move to. It was so odd that last night, in the morning and even a few minutes ago he won't think twice. But now for some reason everything was twisted around.
"Carey it was a mistake." Molly suddenly blurred out.
"You mean last night?" What else in the hell would she be talking about?! Carey thought.
"Yes. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it but it's just not right. It's barely been one morning and were a nervous wreak around everyone. I don't think it's worth the trouble." Molly tried to say it with a lot of confidence, but Carey could tell she didn't fully believe what she just said.
"I agree. So it never happened. Boom! Erased from our memories forever." He just said that because he knew what she wanted to hear.
"So about what I wanted to show you…" Molly takes the guitar out of the case and begins to tell Carey what cords she wants to try out. For nearly an hour they perfectly together, the memory had been erased for that moment. When the hour was up Carey went to the kitchen to get a small snack for him and Molly. When he returned to the couch Molly reached over and kissed him. Carey was in shock, happy, but in shock. Now how I am going to forget if she keeps going that!? He decided not to do too much thinking, because for all he knew this could be the last time. They were both involved with the kissing session neither of them heard the front door open.
