Meeting the Millers

|12| Spawn of Satan

I toss the bloody wipe into the trash before unwrapping the band aid and placing it on my thumb, the door opens as I close the first aid box. Of course it just so happens to be the six foot guy that I'm trying not to fall for, "How's your thumb" Carter fills the silence as he leans on the door

"Fine" I put it back inside the mirror cabinet

"I'm sorry"

I turn around before folding my arms, "For what?"

He scratches the back of his head awkwardly, "Eliza"

"You really pick and choose your women don't you?"

Carter frowns, "What's that supposed to mean?"

I slide past him. "Whatever you think it means"

"So is that how you get away with all your dinners?" He suddenly asks, I frown as I turn around

"What?"

"You cut up your food into tiny little pieces so it looks like you've eaten"

I cut it up so that it slows down my eating process

"No I have other ways of doing that" I reply before walking away

Eliza's helping Melissa clear away the table, "Did you find the band aid?" Melissa asks, I nod

"Your dinners in the microwave if you decide to have it later" She says softly

I half smile, "Thank you"

Melissa then pulls me aside as Eliza continues to converse with Carter, "Aaron did warn me about her before dinner, now I see what he meant" She says lowly

Gotta love Aaron

"She's very self-centred isn't she"

"Indeed" She replies before picking up her purse

"Alright I'll be going now, Eliza it was nice meeting you"

Satans spawn turns around, "You too Mrs Miller"

If my eyes could roll back any further then they would, "Make sure she leaves soon" Melissa mouths at me

I smile a little, "Where's Grace?"

"In the front room, I'll see you later"

I wave as she walks away, although I wish it was satans daughter leaving instead. The front door finally closes and Eliza's smile immediately drops, I honestly don't get how Carter doesn't see this shit. I lie besides Aaron  and he moves over to give me space, Moana is currently playing on the tv, "So what did you guys talk about when I left"

"Oh you didn't miss much, it was just Eliza talking about herself.... as always"

Surprise surprise

"No I just don't get why you needed to go check on her, it was a little cut" I hear Eliza scoff

She's using a hushed tone but I can still hear her, it's honestly sad that she feels so insecure about her relationship with Carter. "Can you relax" He replies

"Do you like her? Cause if you do then just tell me"

I raise my eyebrows with surprise, "No" He replies

It's not like I wanted him to say yes but hearing him say no was a little disappointing.

"It's bull shit, of course he does C"

I look back at Aaron, "What?"

"You heard me"

"Shut up-
