I went to Carter and showed him the book.

"Wait,are you serious?"he asked.

I nodded.

It had all the steps to get out of Marco's house safely.I couldn't believe how good God was being to me right now.Especially since its been almost a month here in this hellhole.

"Whats the first step?"Carter asked.

I flipped to the next page.

Step 1
Find the key
-its always in his right pocket
-be careful

His right pocket?Hmmm.

"You think this is true?What if something happens. "Carter whispered.

"Baby."I mumbled.

Carter rolled his eyes.

"Lets just try to see.So, how do we get him here?"

Carter shrugged.

"What's up with you?We finally have good news and your acting like you don't want to get out of here."I raised my eyebrows.

"Maybe I dont".

What?

"What?"

"Once we get out of here you won't have anything to do with me.Well just forget each other.I don't want that."

I bit my lip.Oh.
"That won't happen Carter.You can come to the station like always."

"Exactly I don't want everything to go back to normal."He looked so sad.

"But Carter...well figure that out later.Let's just try to get the key,okay?"I replied.

He shook his head.

"Whatever.Your not even listening to me."Carter's features turned stone cold.

"I just can't deal with your problems right now.I'm trying to get outta here."I sighed,looking in the book.

"Thats something my dad would of said"Carter whispered.

I looked up at him.

"He never cared how I felt.I hated him for that.There was no one to talk to.To listen to me.And now your doing the same thing."Carter scoffed.

I remained silent.

"He would just stare.Tell me that I was being a wimp.A punk.He told me go join the football team.Maybe it'll toughen me up.I did and now I wish I didn't."

I gave him a confused glance.

"They knew about my past.How I used to be fat and do all my work in school."

"Really?"I asked.

Carter nodded.

"When I was younger people use to bully me and I use to cry about it.After while I realized I needed to change.So I started to work out and create a new image for myself. "He played with his fingers.

"I was popular,fit and if I do say so myself, sexy.But I was still insecure.I don't think that'll ever change.I'm scared,of losing you.That you'll find someone better than me.And I know that you can't be with me but I wish you would try."Carter rambled.

"I...Um...Im sorry."

Later,we had a plan in order to get Marco up stairs so we can retrieve the key.But,I told Carter I wanted to practice some police preparation just in case.So he'll be my partner.

"So what's first officer?"Carter asked,licking his lips.

I laughed."I'm gonna check if you have any weapons"

"Why?"Carter asked.

I winked."Spread out your arms and legs please"

He did what he was told.I patted him down normally until I got to his sides.I trailed my hands down his back and squeezed his butt.

Carter jumped.I burst out laughing.

"What the hell,Yaz?"He asked.I giggled.

"Sorry,I had to."

"Oh yeah well now I have to"He pulled me towards me trying to reach for my butt.I punched him in his arm and escaped from his grip.

"Leave me alone!"I yelled,running away.

He trapped me in a corner.Really?

I tried to push him away but he started to kiss my neck.

"Baby...stop"I whispered.

"Did you just call me baby?"He asked.

I felt my face heat up.

"Im trying to practice with you.Your supposed to push through the distractions and take me down.Your so bad. "Carter bit his lip.

"Its not my fault.No one kisses you while you fight.Its just weird."

Carter chuckled. "Well I'm different so ..."

I rolled my eyes."You just want an excuse to get close to me"

"Maybe".

"Alright,let's try some self defense.Punch,kick,slap do anything okay.Don't take it easy on me."I replied.

"What?No.I'm not gonna-"

I jumped on his back and started pounding punches on him.

"Yaz!"Carter pulled my arms away.
I dropped to the floor.

He attacked me by climbing on me.
He fake punched me in my face. I rolled my eyes.I could have dodged it.We got off the ground

"Carter,just cause I'm a girl doesn't mean you can't hit me like I'm a guy.I'm a police officer I can handle it."

"But I don't wanna hurt you.Your my baby.My sexy baby."He winked.I laughed.

"Please"I begged.
Carter sighed and aimed his hand at me.I grabbed it and stuffed it his face.

"Calm down.Don't you know that I'm weak."Carter pouted.

He took me from behind and hugged me,his hands around my waist.He kissed my cheek and bit it.

I know what he's trying to do.
But it did feel good though.

I elbowed him in his stomach and pushed him to the ground.I climbed on top of him and held his arms down.

"Ugh!Yazmin...I'm in pain...uhh"He groaned.

"Yes.I won"I cheesed.

Then I realized I was sitting on Carter and holding him down so he couldn't move.

"You gonna get off me anytime soon?"he asked,

I smiled,shaking my head.

Carter bit his top lip.

"I kinda want to savor this victory as long as I can."I replied.

I let go of Carter's hands,stretching.

"God,you are such a tease."
"Am I?I didn't notice"I said,seductively giggling.

Carter pulled me down so our lips were a few inches apart.

I want to kiss him so bad but I couldn't.It was wrong.And I knew it.

Carter stared at my lips for a good ten seconds while biting his lip.

I closed my eyes because he was so tempting .

But Carter took it as a sign to move closer to me.

"No!"I yelled.

"What?"He asked.

"I can't.And you know I can't.Don't please.Just stay away ."

"I can't.I need you."He said in a husky voice,pulling me down.

"Carter!Stop.How many times do we have to go through this?"

He sighed,stroking my cheek.

"Your the first person to really care about me.I just don't wanna lose that."Carter whispered.

"Well you won't."I kissed his cheek and got up.

"Okay"Carter said looking down at me.

"Okay who?"I asked,grinning .

"Baby.Its okay baby"He lifted me up and twirled me around.
