Tracy'

I still can hear the banging of the door from my room and I wiped the tears and I switched on the light as I went towards the washroom to wash my face. Once I look presentable I opened the door with a small smile- might I add a fake one. Carson hugged me tightly and he feels warm and nice. Too nice that I didn't want to pull away, but I had to.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes.

"For what?" I asked him.

"I just wanted you to know that it was not suppose to happen." Now, I was not sure what he meant by that.

"It doesn't really matter." I said. "Don't you have a party to host?"

"Forget about that." He said. "Are you okay?" He asked again.

"Of course. Why won't I be?" I lied with a smile.

"I-I thought.." he was lost for words. "Never mind." He said and I wanted to scream and smack him to complete whatever he was about to say, anything apart from the word-"Never-mind"

"I-I should get going." He quickly added and I nodded my head. He turned to walk away and this time I didn't follow him.

Since Ashton did not come back to cook the food. I was left alone to figure out what to cook. I tried to make something good out of the veggies,but failed miserably so I just stuck to frying some fries and burgers. While in that process- Ashton called me.

"Do you think it is a good idea to visit you again?" He said. "I made spaghetti and meatballs. Just so you know that I didn't want to leave you, but your friends was very very annoying and I didn't want to stress you out in that already stressful situation."

I smiled at his words and sighed. "Let's take a break." I said. "I really appreciate everything, but I can't see you getting hurt." I said honestly.

"I can handle it." He said. "But are you able to?"

"I really don't know what to say about this situation."

"What are you most worried about?" He said.

"Everything." I said now going off the topic.

"Everything like?" He wanted me to explain and I cannot even explain it to myself.

"My fries is about to get burnt." I said to him. "I got to go." And ended the call.

10 minutes later, the bell rang and I was hoping it won't be anymore drama, but I saw someone who I have never met before standing outside my door with a bag. "Food delivery." She said as she just passed the bag and turned back, ready to leave.

"Who are these for?" I asked.

"Your admirer from the 20th floor sent it." She said as she walked away and I looked at the bag and her.

Ashton Rivera, you can never back down, can you? The food was really good and if he was here I would have argued that he was a better cook than I was. He can even open a restaurant with the delicious spaghetti and meat ball he made.

"Thanks for the food! It was amazing." I texted him.

"Glad you liked it. Next time is chicken with gravy." He replied back.

I shake my head and laughed. The food was way better than the instant patties that I had to cook in the heat. I totally abandoned my food for his.

After I cleared all my dishes and cleaned up the space. Ashton told me someone was coming to pick up the boxes that he have left behind. I sent an Okay, within few minutes some people came to collect it and once that was done. I went to take a shower and got ready for bed.

Middle of the night, I heard ringing of the door bell and I groaned in annoyance. I thought it was the neighbours.. but the bell kept ringing and I woke up and I looked at the clock. It was 12:33 am and I frowned. Who will come so late at night.

I took my time to go to the door hoping whoever was on the other side would have left, but the person was persistent and kept ringing the bell and banging the door and shouting my name.

My feet ran to the door when I realized whose voice it was.

"Carson?" I said opening the door. He was drunk and wasted. His face was red and he smell of smoke and alcohol.

"Baby, what took you so long?" He slurred as he tried to get in.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him as I quickly helped him up when he was about to fall.

"Just here to meet my baby." He said as he tried to stand up, but failed miserably.

"Ain't you being too cheesy considering we are just friend?" I said to him as I put his arm on my shoulder and I put my arm on his waist.

"Friend? You are my baby." He grinned showing me his dimple.

"How did you get here?" I asked choosing to ignore the butterflies in my stomach.

"I asked someone to drive me here." He said.

"Are they waiting downstairs?" I asked.

"I sent them home." He said happily. "I am having sleepover again."

And I give him a horror look. "Again?"

"Yeah.." he said. "I sleep well here."

I sighed. This was the second time he came here wasted.

"You smoked again." I said.

"I am sleepy." He complained as I took him to my room. I helped him on my bed.

"You smell good all the time." He said all of a sudden when I was helping him to the bed.

I blushed. "Your hair smells good too."

"You should go to bed now." I said enough of his talk about my smell.

"Where will you sleep?" He asked.

"Here. Don't worry." I chuckled. "Just sleep."

"Will you be okay?" He slurred and then he passed out.

"I will be okay." I said looking at his peaceful face as I brushed his hair away from his face.
