Chapter 4: The Rest of Monday to Tuesday
They are still in the alcove, which is more like a small cave. "I can't believe we just did that," Abby says, snuggling closer to him. Carter mumbles something, but Abby doesn't hear him. "Shoot, what time is it?" she asks him.
Carter looks at his watch. "Almost ten."
"Shit, I should be getting home," she says, scrambling to get her clothes which are spread out everywhere. She quickly puts them on while Carter gets up to find his. "Bye," she says, then gives him one last kiss before running off into the night.
Abby starts running. She doesn't know why, but she just does. I can't believe we just did that, she thinks. She continues running down her block before she bumps into someone. She freaks out and screams, but then realizes its Susan. "Shit, Suz you just scared the crap out of me," she tells her, trying to calm down.
"Sorry," Susan says smiling. "So what happened with you two?" she asks, as her smile turns into a smirk.
"Nothing," Abby says, smiling and trying to walk away.
"Oh my gosh, you two totally did it!" Susan screams.
Abby rolls her eyes. "Oh my gosh, can you keep quiet!" she says, mimicking Susan.
"So you did?"
Abby finally breaks down and just admits it, Susan would find out anyways. "Yes," she says.
"So how was he?"
"Ew, I'm so not answering that! And for the last time, be quiet!"
"He was good, wasn't he?"
"Susan!" Abby says, getting annoyed.
"Okay, okay I'll stop. So does this mean you two are officially together?"
They arrive at Abby's house. "You know, I really don't know. We didn't really talk about it," she tells Susan as she walks inside her house after the two say their goodbyes.
As soon as Abby gets in, she goes into her room. For some reason, Susan's question was bothering her. Did this mean they were together? There was only one way to find out, so Abby picked up her cell phone and dialed Carter.
Ring. That was the fifth time the phone rang. Finally Carter's voicemail went on. "Um, hey it's Abby. Susan kind of asked me if we were together today, and I kinda didn't know what to tell her. Are we together or not? Just wanted to talk about that. I guess call me back when you get this. Bye."
Susan sat down. Damn, this was hard to keep to herself, but she knew Abby would kill her if she told anyone. She flicked on the TV to try to distract herself, but all she could think about were Carter and Abby, and that they were finally together- possibly. Then again they did sleep together...
Abby rolls over and slams down her alarm. I must've fell asleep after calling Carter, she thinks. She picks up her phone and looks at it- Carter didn't call her back yet. She throws the phone back on her bed and gets up to get ready for school. Her cell phone starts to ring while she's brushing her teeth. She goes to answer it- it's Carter. "Hey," she says. "Hold on a minute," she says while she finishes up her brushing. Afterwards she picks the phone back up. "Sorry, I was brushing my teeth." They talk a little, and then decide to talk some more at lunch.
Abby grabs a pop-tart and heads to her car. She jumps in, feeling a little rushed because talking to Carter caused her to be a little late; then again she was always late. Damn, I could use a coffee, she thinks not having completely woken up yet.
She finally gets to school and goes to park in her usual parking space. The only thing different though is that Carter is there waiting for her, with coffee. She gets out of her car and Carter hands her a cup. "I was just thinking I could use a coffee," she tells him.
"I guess it was a good idea to get coffee then," he tells her.
"Yeah and thanks."
"Anytime. Now what did you want to talk about?"
"Us, or if there is an us," she tells him, sipping her coffee which was just the way she liked it.
He takes her hand and they start to walk towards the school "I'd like to think there was an us," he tells her.
