Carter

" D o you want me to come up?" I ask, pulling up outside of Alice's apartment building.

"I'm still angry at you, remember?" she replies as she hops down from her seat and her ass jiggles when her feet hit the floor.

She slams the door behind her with more force than necessary before walking to the trunk to grab her suitcase.

I would have grabbed it for her, of course, but right now I don't know if she wants to push me into oncoming traffic.

"I love you, Alice," I say as she slams the trunk, also with more force than necessary. Alice pulls her case to the front of the car and taps on the window with her knuckle.

I open the window and listen to the whir as it rolls down.

"Love you too," she says and turns her back on me to walk away, making a beeline for her apartment door.

"Love watching you leave, princess. Don't stay mad for too long.

" I admire the curve of her ass as her hips sway when she walks.

Without looking behind her, she sticks her middle finger in the air, high enough for me to see.

She might be angry at me, but she can't hide the giant grin that I saw in the reflection of the glass in her apartment building door.

I make sure that she is safely inside and turn the keys in the ignition as it comes to life with a throaty rumble, before pulling away to drive myself home.

Alice: Just got home.

Autumn: Welcome back to the US.

Alice: Missed you both.

Alice: Oh, by the way

Alice: I'm in love with your husband's brother.

Sawyer: Ew, what's wrong with you? He's a dumbass.

Me: Alright, stalker.

Autumn: I think I prefer secret admirer.

Sawyer: Nothing secret about it, baby.

Alice: Get a room.

Me: *vomit emoji*

Autumn: You know that we alllll knew before you did, right?

Alice: Knew what?

Autumn: That you were going to end up together.

Alice: Could have told us that. Would have saved time.

Autumn: Where is the fun in that?

Me: In bed now. Stop messaging. Beauty sleep to catch up on.

Sawyer: It would take more than sleep to help that.
