Just last night Carter kissed me on the cheek. I was so shocked, but at the same time I felt tingles in my arms and butterflies fluttering in my stomach. He opened my eyes to realize that Cole may not be the one I like anymore. After numerously reflecting on the moment, I received a text from Cole.

'Wanna hang out tonight? 😘' He text.

'Will Carter be there?' I replied, nervous for his response.

'Yes.' He finally text back, 'Will that be a problem?'

'Not at all!' I hit send and then got up to go to their place. I told Liam where I'd be going and we agreed that when I got back, we'd watch a movie.

I was there within minutes and when I arrived Cole was immediately there to answer the door. I entered into their dorm and started to stare at Carter. Cole started to glare at him as he got up to give me a friendly hug. Cole continued to glare but Carter brushed it off my rolling his eyes. I blushed a little because of the hug and as expected, Cole was still glaring.

"Calm down," Carter said while Cole continued glaring, "Olivia and I are good friends." His eyes waved over to me, causing my cheeks to flush. Remembering Carter's kiss almost gave my stomach a seizure. It was only on the cheek, so I'm making a friendly gesture into a big-for-nothing deal.

"Olivia?" Cole questioned, taking me out of my thoughts.

"It's alright Cole. We're... friends." I reassured him and he finally looked less tense. Carter flashed me a charming grin as all three of us sat on the couch to watch a movie.

We all eventually agreed on Passenger. A movie starring Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. It's one of my favorites and seems to be the boys too. That, or they sure know how to act.

Half-way through, Carter paused the movie so he could go make popcorn.

"Isn't this something you do before a movie?" I teased, walking into the kitchen with him. Cole was still on the couch waiting for us.

"Not the way I do it," he laughed, "and when I say my way, I mean the way that starts with forgetting about popcorn." He chucked a bag into the microwave and clicked a few buttons. When it finally started, he leaned against the counter. I did the same.

"Can we please talk abut last night?" I randomly burst out and his eyes widen a little.

"Shhh..." he shushed me gently. "We can talk, but keep it to a whisper."

He slowly walked over, putting his index finger over my lips. I could've stayed like that forever but I needed to be serious. Giving into him won't make this any easier.

"First of all, why did you kiss me?" I whisper yelled, "Second of all, do you regret? Because you sure act like it!" His lips curved back into one of his cute smirks and he let out a small laugh while looking down shyly.

"One: I kissed you because I can." I rolled my eyes at him, "Two: I don't regret it in the slightest bit." His smirk faded into genuine smile.

"Oh come on!" I said punching his stomach, causing him to laugh, "Why would you kiss me?! I need real answers Carter."

He began to look a bit irritated and my suspicions were confirmed when he said, "Well maybe I just don't have all the answers." With that, he was out of the kitchen. Right then the microwave went off and caused me to flinch.

**************

The movie had ended and Cole was driving me home. Carter passed on coming with us. Hmph, wonder why? Note the sarcasm. We pulled up to my house and I hopped out. I stuck my head through the window to say goodbye to Cole.

"Will we hang out again some time soon?" His eyebrows went up like he was hopeful and I gave him a half-smile.

"W-will Carter be there?" I asked.

He tilted his head to the side, "Probably. He's my dorm mate."

"Cool!" I said, my smile going wider, "I'll be there... again."

I walked into my dorm and saw Liam watching tv.

"HEY LIAM!" I shout, making him jump off of the couch. He finally realized it was me and walked over to give me a hug. I returned it while laughing at him.

"I'll admit," he drawled out, "You surprised me."

I rolled my eyes, "You're no fun. Anyway, what's for dinner?"

"I bought pizza. It's on the counter."

"Yummy! Thank you!"

We stayed up till about 11:30 watching movies and both of us ended up passing out on the couch.

**************

It was the next morning and I was not at all wanting to get up. I look to my left to see Liam, still sprawled out sleeping so I squirm my way out of his arms to go get ready for class.

I put on a t-shirt that had black and white stripes, light blue denim shorts, and black running shoes. With one last look in the mirror I grabbed my keys and made my way to class.

Classes nearly flew by and it was lunch. I went to the food court and ordered a burger. While waiting, Carter came up to me and randomly said, "Let's hang out tonight."

"Aren't you 'upset' with me?"

"I was. But I couldn't stay mad at that face for long..." his words made me blush and he laughed a bit to himself.

"Sure...." I finally answered, "Hang out!" A smile formed quickly onto my face and Carter replied almost immediately.

"We're going out to the club. I'll pick you up. See you at seven~!" He walked off and I smiled to myself before proceeding to class.
