Not a "LOVE" Story ✓

No love on the brain

CARTER (CHAPTER 31)

"Why the hell are you acting so happy?" Chris asks me as I just walked in the kitchen with a smile on my face.

"What? I can't act happy all of a sudden?" I ask him.

"True," He says, continuing to eat his cereal.

"Yeah Chris is right, you are happy. Why...." Jack asks, grabbing the orange juice carton from the fridge.

"I don't know. Look, can't I just be happy for once in my lifetime?" Jack shrugs, followed by Chris.

"I guess," Jack says.

"Good." I grab a bowl and fill it up with some cereal and milk and grab a seat close to Chris.

"Holy shit I got it!"

"Jesus, you scared me. And what?"

"You banged her last week didn't you?" I choke on my cereal, hearing Chris say that makes me wonder if he has a brain or not.

Ew Chris, we're eating here. Did you really have to say that?" Jack asks with a disgusted face.

"Yes. I did." I roll my eyes, slapping the back of Chris' head to shake some sense into him.

"Ow!"

"Shut it," I say.

"Meanie." I go back to eating my cereal but stop as I feel two pairs of eyes watching me.

"Can I help you two?" I ask Chris and Jack.

"Did you bang her or not?" Both Jack and Chris ask me that question at the same time.

"What the hell? No!" They both nod, going back to eating their breakfast.

"Wait, so if you didn't bang her, then what did you do?"

Watch romance movies.

"None of your damn ass business," I get up from the seat, walking to the sink and placing my bowl in there.

"Fine. But just so you know, you're too young to become a dad you know that right?"

"I didn't bang her!" I yell in frustration.

"So you say...."

"I'm done with this shit," I tell both of them. "I'm going to my room," I walk out of the kitchen not before muttering, hope you both choke on your cereal, to them. I walk upstairs, going to my room I slam the door, locking it in seconds. I walk to my bed and lie down, remembering last week with Taylor.

Fucking romance movies made me actually fall for her.

How the hell did that happen?

As I about I'm to answer my own question, my phone rings.

"Sup, Smith," I smile, as I just imagine her on the other line, probably blushing in seconds.

"Carter?" The voice that just spoke does not at all sound like Taylor, making me confused who this is.

"Uh yes?"

"This is Lila, her sister. Remember?" Shit. I groan, rubbing my eyes in pain.

"Yup. Of course, I do. What's up Lila?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to call you and ask you if you wanted to come over to our place today? In like, an hour?"

"What's the reason?" I ask.

"No reason. It just seems to me that you stole my sister's heart Green and that she's deeply in love with you." My eyes widen and my heart drops.

"Love?" I cough out, clearing my throat.

"Yup. Love pretty boy," As Lila says this, I hear a loud booming voice on the other end as well, sounding pretty much like Taylor's voice.

"Is that Taylor?"

"Yup. She's just trying to break down my door. So you're coming in an hour right?"

"Wait, wait...why is she breaking your door?"

"Oh didn't I tell you? I stole her phone, locked myself in my own room with her phone and called you without her permission and invited you as well. You caught up or what?"

"Jeez... you're asking for death, you know that right?" Lila laughs, and I'm now imagining her nodding while Taylor is slowly breaking down her door.

"Yup, I know. So, you coming or what?"

"Oh, I'm coming."

"Great! Be here in one hour. And also--" I wait for what she'll say next, but Lila goes completely silent.

"Lila?"

"Shit, I'm dead."

"Lila!" I laugh, hearing Taylor's voice. The call then ends, meaning Taylor either killed Lila and ended the call, or she just ended the call and yelled at her.

"Alright then," I mutter, throwing my phone on my bed.

Checking the time, I get off my bed, going to wear some nice clothes since I'm somehow invited to Taylor's house today.

After about a good ten minutes trying to find other nice clothes that isn't a suit and tie, I settle for some jeans and a hoodie. Messing up my hair, I look in the mirror and sigh.

Eh, at least I tried." Walking out of my bedroom, I grab my phone and car keys.

"Where are you going this time?" I hear Jack ask me.

"Oh right, I forgot that I have to tell you everything to where I go." I flick Jack off, opening the front door and walking to the driveway.

"Tell Taylor I said hi!" Chris yells, making me flick him off as well, and get in the car.

"Stupid asses. Why I keep them living in my house, I have no clue," I mutter as I start the car, backing out of the driveway I wave goodbye to Chris and Jack, and drive away.

I'm only going to Taylor's house to see her and Lila. Nothing special. It's not like I'm meeting her folks.

Although I groan, feeling the butterflies in my stomach which I hate. Trying to concentrate on something else, I turn on the radio.

"No matter what I do, I'm no good without you. And I can't get enough, must be love on the brain."

What the hell is this song? I turn the radio off right away just by hearing those lyrics run through my head.

"So the radio's not a good idea at all," I mutter. Pfft, love on the brain. What the fuck does that even mean? Love on the brain. All I know for sure that there is no love on the brain for me.

Nothing.

Nada.

No love.

Just... brain.
