Devotion (Carter Reynolds)

Chapter 5

"So where are we going again?" I ask when I hop in the car.

Not making eye contact.

"you'll see" he replies.

oh.

I sit quietly in the passenger side waiting for him to speak up and make this ride less awkward.

But he doesnt so I take matters into my own hands and turn the radio on.

The song #selfie is on and I already regret turning it on.

Dear lord.

"this song is so stupid!" I state

"BUT FIRST LET ME TAKE A SELFIE" He sings loudly in my ear to annoy me.

"Carter stop!" I laugh and push his head away from my face so he can focus on the road and not kill us both.

I change the station and leave it at the song it was playing.

"TALK DIRTY TO ME DNIDNIDNI" he starts singing loudly again.

"jeez, what song do you not know?" I ask laughing.

"musics my life!"

"didnt ask." I remark

"but you did.."

"sure." I say and sit back.

"so tell me about yourself." He demands

"creepy much..?"

"well your my fuck buddy and I think I deserve to know at least some things about you.." He explains and I roll my eyes at his word choice.

"ok. so what do you wanna know?" I ask

"I dont know, just tell me about yourself"

"not much to know" I reply

"jesus Ashley stop being stubborn." He snaps back.

I like the way he says my name.

Well considering this is the first time he actually called me that, I like it.

"hello?" He questions

"oh, um I really dont know though." I resond.

"Favorite color?"

"White. You?"

"WHITES MY COLOR!" He yells making me laugh.

"kid, get out it was mine first." I say trying not to laugh at his funny but adorable expression.

"this is the first time I seen your smile.." He says making me grin without notice.

"Its ugly, I know." I look away.

"Well I think its beautiful."

what?

Did he really just compliment me?

"Thank you." I say still looking out the window.

"We're here."

wow.
