Authors Note- not my best chapter lol, anyways here it is none the less. Expect another update today, probably later tonight or something like. Its a quick update... almost forgot the preview... but its there :D
Cleaning, I feel that's all I've been doing around this place lately. It is great though. Beautiful. I love it, absolutely love it. So does Bryce. I can't believe Carter did this for us, he's such a sweet guy. lately though we've been on the rocks. I don't know it came so suddenly, well not exactly. It came about the time we had sex, without using protection. He wants me to talk to him more, but I am not quite sure he understands what I am thinking or feeling. I pick up a dirty plate of Bryce's and toss it into the sink, I walk lazily over to the dish and start to wash it. "Mom." Bryce says walking out of his room.
"Yeah?"
"Susan's on the phone." I walk over to Bryce, pointing at the dirty dish in the sink, he walks over to it and starts to wash it, as I make my way down the hall to the washroom, to clean the mirror. "Hey." I spray the Windex onto the dirty mirror.
"Hey, how are you?"
"Not too bad and you?" I sigh, wiping the Windex off the mirror.
"Good, just getting ready for tonight. You are coming tonight right?"
"Yeah, definitely."
"Okay, just double checking." We both don't say anything for a few moments. "Carter's coming to right?"
"Yeah, we are meeting there though, because he works." I put the Windex under the cupboard. "Okay, well I'll see you then!"
"Yup." I hang up the phone, maybe after Carter and I can talk. I am definitely more in the mood to talk today, then I was yesterday.
~*~
I glance at my watch, for the hundredth time over the past two hours. Carter was suppose to be here two hours ago. "Hey." I look up at a tall man, who I know has been eyeing me this whole time. I've watched him. "Hi." I say completely uninterested.
"You look nice." He says, checking me out.
"Thanks." I look at the door and ignore him.
"You waiting for someone?"
"Yeah." I glance up at him again. He's cute, but annoying. Carters cuter though. Much. "Want to dance?" He says reaching for my hand. I pull it away.
"I have a son." I tell him.
"What?" He laughs.
"Yeah, he's ten."
"I love kids, they're great. So imaginative and funny." Well those are definitely two words I would use to describe my son. "Look, I'm going to go over there but, if you want to dance-"
"I know where you are." I complete his sentence. He nods at me, walking away. Just in time for Pratt, to cruise up beside me. "Hey you." He smiles.
"Hi." I smile back.
"Who are you waiting for?" He throws his arm around me.
"Carter." I sigh.
"Carter? Why?" I roll my eyes at him. "He said he wasn't coming."
"He what?" I say looking up at Pratt. It was his idea to come to this party in the first place, and then he blows me off. "Yeah, that's what he said at work." He shrugs. "Now, come dance." He pulls at me.
"I will in a minute, I promise." He walks away, and I pull my cell phone out of my purse, walking towards the door. I open it and then walk down the stairs to be alone outside. I hit my speed dial button, and let it ring, finally... "Hello?"
"Where the hell are you?" I snap.
"I'm at the mansion. Where are you?" He asks casually.
"At Susan's!" I state.
"Yeah, sorry, I decided to come back here for the night, are you mad?"
"Is this retaliating at me for last night?"
"What? NO!" He feigns innocence.
"I can not believe you Carter- you are such a jerk." I hang up on him, the least he could have done is called me, now I'm stuck here. I walk back upstairs. Well as long as I am here, I might as well make the best of it. Maybe I will dance with Pratt, he is kind of cute, not that I want to date him, but he is fun, so having a dance with my friends at a party is fine, I am not doing anything unfaithful for him to hate me for. I open the door and walk out onto the dance floor, Pratt immediately grabs my waist, laughing. "Nice of you to join the party." Susan shouts.
"Yeah, well you know-" I gesture to men being crazy, she laughs.
"Men will only drag you down." I move away from Pratt, and join everyone else who is dancing, and talking. It is more fun then waiting around for someone who is just mad at you anyways. I love Carter though, at this point I could see myself with him for the rest of my life. He's just great, but maybe we both need a break from each other for one night, its a shame I have no one to kiss at midnight though.
Its true what they say time flies when you're having fun, a slow song plays loudly over the speakers, and an arm comes around my waist, I look up and its the guy from earlier. I've identified him, and his name is Jamie, I thought grown men usually went by James, but not him. He is Jamie. He is Chucks friend too. Susan's boyfriend Chuck. "what are you doing?" I slightly flirt.
"Dancing." He smiles.
"Okay, but only one, I have to get going soon." I state, wrapping my arms loosely around his neck.
"Your son?" He says cocking his eyebrows.
"No, no my son is a party with a few of his friends. My boyfriend."
"You have a boyfriend?" He looks upset and hurt. I don't know why we just met.
"Yeah."
"Oh. How come he is not here?"
"He worked all day, he was really tired." The man nods his head in agreement.
"Any chance you're going to dump this guy anytime soon?" A flash of hope in his eyes.
"Nope, not one." I shake my head.
"10, 9, 8-" Every one screams in unison, I look up at Jamie he smiles, "7, 6, 5, 4" I really wish Carter was here right now, I just want him to hold me, not this big gofer, that's mean Jamie could be a nice man, just not the man I want. "3, 2,1" All the sudden I feel Jamie's lips up against my face, I roughly push him off me, what a jerk. "You shit!" I say walking away from him, he looks amused, I can tell a few people have noticed, I'm sure they will tell Carter that's why I have to first. It meant nothing, it was just a dirty guy kissing me, I can't believe this. What if he dumps me? I can feel the tear well up in my eyes as I grab my coat and make my way out of the apartment. I wipe my eyes and pull my phone out of my purse, hitting speed dial quickly. One ring, Two rings, Three, rings, Four, Five, he's not there his voice mail comes on, "Hey Carter its me, call me please, I really need to speak to you. I grab a tissue out of my purse and wipe my eyes and blow my nose. I rush down the stairs and decide to call him at the mansion. "Hello?" A tired voice says. "Carter?" I ask eagerly.
"No Miss, John is not here." Not there? Where the hell is he.
"Do you know where he is?" I fidget with my purse strap.
"No." He says flatly. I hang up the phone and make my way home. I will talk to him when I wake up in the morning, if I can get any sleep. I meant nothing by that kiss. I didn't even kiss. The tears come again, I can't help it I love him and I don't want to loose him. I don't know what I'd do without him. I've live for 2 weeks without him, god worse few weeks of my life.

***PREVIEW***
"Bryce, be quiet. Your mom doesn't feel well." I lie. I can't believe I'm lying for her. Well, truth being, she doesn't feel well.
A concerned look crosses his face.
"Don't worry. It's probably the flu or something. Why don't you call up Alex and see if you can go over?"
