both know I’m not.” Even Carter, as dumb as he was, couldn’t miss the double meaning in her words.
“Hell no,” he whispered, squeezing her thigh.
When they got back to Carter’s house, Carter ordered her to change into something “s exy.”
She raised her eyebrows at him. “Sexy?”
He laughed. “Come on, Katie. You know the crowd we run with. When there’s a party, if you show up in street clothes, you’re out.”
“I thought I was always sexy.”
Carter grinned. “Sexi er then.”
She rolled her eyes and walked into his bedroom, knowing he was right. She was the most sought after girl in the circuit, and if she didn’t look totally hot tonight, she would be the most hated.
She opened his double wardrobe and started sifting through her clothes. She couldn’t decide between her low rise hot pants, which were made out of leather and totally sexy, or her strapless zebra print dress.
“The dress,” Carter said from behind her. She turned around and smiled coyly at him. “It’s way better for a party, although the leather does make your ass look fine .”
She laughed and slapped him, before stripping out of her ‘slob clothes’ and into the short, tight dress. She searched under his bed for her studded black platform heels, and slipped them on.
“Ready to go?” Carter asked, walking back into the room, totally smoking. Kaitlyn eyed him up and down, and licked her lips at the way his jeans actually fit, and his black, button down shirt brought out the brown in his eyes. His usual sneakers were on his feet, and his black hair was rumpled and sexy.
“Yeah,” she finally said. “Just let me do my make-up.” She walked into the bathroom, where her make-up bag was stashed, and began outlining her hazel eyes with thick black eyeliner. A few coatings of mascara on her eyelashes and a quick swipe of peach lip gloss and she was done.
“I’m ready!” she called, walking out of the bathroom to see Carter slouched on the couch, watching a car program on SKY .
He looked up at her. “Great, then we can go,” he said. “Finally.”
She rolled her eyes. “Whatever Carter. If I didn’t wear this much make-up out, you’d hate me.”
They walked out to his car and he grabbed her around the waist from behind and kissed her cheek.
“No,” he said. “I think you look way better without make-up, and with less clothes.”
She slapped his arm playfully and pulled away from him, getting into the car. He walked around to the other side and jumped in.
“Excited?” she asked him. He smirked. “I’ll take that as a yes, then.”
He laughed. “Damn straight, baby girl. It’s been a while since the whole crew could get together and blow off some steam.”
She grinned and relaxed as he weaved his way through the many suburbs on the way to Helensville.
They could see the party, before they heard it.
“Where’s the music?” Kaitlyn asked Carter, confused about the silence.
“They sound-proofed it. It’s probably best, because even though it’s abandoned, it’s still surrounded by shops. ”
She nodded and climbed out of the car when Carter had parked.
“You ready?” he asked, walking around and grabbing her by the waist.
She grinned. “Bring it. I’m gonna have so much fun.”
Carter smirked and led her inside. The whole building was packed. It was quite surprising, because the warehouse would have been terrifyingly big for one person. And it was almost full.
They began to make their way over to the bar, when they were stopped by a tall, slim girl with long, curly black hair.
“Carter!” she screamed over the loud music, grabbing him in for a tight hug. Kaitlyn looked blankly at them and wondered if she was a former conquest of Carter’s.
“Bekah!” he grinned. “I haven’t seen you in ages .”
She grinned back. “I know, right?” She kissed him on the cheek. “So how’ve you been?”
“Not bad, not bad,” he replied happily. Kaitlyn
