I Guess He Hates Me(COMPLETE)

Chapter 17

We ended up at Carson newly renovated apartment in Manhattan. He had just moved in the week before and it still had that fresh unlived in smell. I wiped nose onto Carson's jacket that he had lent me. I hadn't planned on leaving my building so I was unprepared when it started raining outside. His apartment was modern and masculine, definitely a bachelor pad. It resembled an urban loft with exposed brick and black wood floors, with a brown, black and blue color scheme. The bottom floor was a sleek kitchen with an island that opened up into the living room. He had a large black leather sectional in front of the large floor to ceiling window. A large flat screen smart tv sat in front of his coffee table along with an Xbox, PlayStation and more.

I sat down onto the couch, looking around as I shivered, not from the cold but from being scared of the events that had happened earlier that night. Carson ran his hand through his hair and let out a frustrated sigh. I couldn't help but look at the fresh bruise on his knuckle from when he punched Danny.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked hesitantly.

I bit my lip and shook my head no, not trusting myself to speak at that moment. He sat down next to me on the couch, his knee touching mine briefly. Suddenly Carson grasped my hand and held it in his warm one. I couldn't help but notice how perfect my hand fit in his. I glanced towards the clock on the wall that read 11:24 Pm and suddenly realized how exhausted I was.

"Do you want me to take you home?" I shook my head no before I finally replied to him.

"My mum is out of state." My eyes never looked up to meet his but I could still see him nodding his head in response. He stood up, his hand still grasping mine before pulling me towards the staircase that lead to the loft area. When we arrived at the top of the stairs it opened up into the sleeping area where his king sized bed overlooked the window that showed a breathtaking view of the city.

Carson finally released my hand, walking towards his closet, pulling out a tshirt and pair of pajama pants and throwing them towards to me. I caught them in my hands, casting him a small smile before making my way into the bathroom to change. After quickly changing I made my way back out into his bedroom.

"Do you have an extra blanket and pillow?" I asked, eyeing the couch in the living room.

"No, just sleep in the bed with me. I won't touch you, I swear."

I didn't bother to argue with him as I climbed into the dark grey and black striped sheets.

"So I was thinking we cou-" lily halted in her steps, staring at me from where she stood at the top of the staircase that led into the room. "lucy, what are you doing here? Oh my god did you guys-"

"No." I grumbled throwing a pillow at her and glancing besides me to find a shirtless and still sleeping Carson with his face stuffed into a pillow and an arm resting across my stomach. I sighed, realizing what it looked like. Lily smirked at me and skipped over towards the bed, kicking off her shoes and climbing into the king sized bed and under the blanket besides me. This left me sandwiched between sleeping beauty and evil lily.

"Start talking." She grinned devilishly. "I love a good story."

I groaned, laying back into the pillow as lily snuggled into me and Carson's grip around my waist tightened. "Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? Bitch why are you here?" She narrowed her eyes at me, snuggling into my shoulder. "If you must know, I was visiting my BFF Carson at his apartment so I would have someone to get breakfast with. Now why are you here?"

"Because that fuckboy she was hanging around." Carson mumbled from the pillow.

"Huh?" Lily shot me a confused look and I internally sighed, not wanting to have to go through this.

"Danny invited me over for dinner and tried to force me into... You know." I explained shortly.

Anger showed on my, usually very happy, friends face. "I'll kill him!"

"No it's fine, Lil. Carson came and picked me up."

"Not before beating the shit out of that fucker." He grumbled once more, not bothering to remove his arm.

"Hell yeah." Lily raised a hand, and suddenly Carson's shot up and high fived her perfectly without even glancing up at her. She then turned to me, and wrapped her arms around my shoulder while Carson's arm returned to my waist. "So how about breakfast tacos?"
