Royal Deception - Chapter 24: Chapter 24

I woke up to facing a beautiful view of the intensely dark blue water from the ocean. Wait ocean? Where the hell was i
Then I remembered the drive with Carter yesterday ofcourse how could I forget. But we never reached an ocean so I turned to check where I was sleeping.
And I gasped. The room was above and beyond my expectations of any beauty I had ever imagined to this point. Screaming wealth and elegance. I had to look for Carter had he broken us into someone's house?.So I got up and stared more at the view outside.
I couldn't help it forgive me will you. The green patch of grass made me wonder just how marvellous it would feel if i it took a nap there.
It was sunny , the sky blue like any other day except it held a hundred fold of clouds. Birds occupied the seemingly silent atmosphere adding life to the ecosystem and I couldn't help but wish to be a bird at that moment.
"Carter" I yelled as I walked along the unending halls. Whatever this place was it was huge.
And finally I spotted him after roaming around the house countless times. Admiring it all the way. To my dismay Rich people did exist.
And either Carterbhad a rich relative or he had broken into this flamboyant residence.
He sat on an outdoor chair closing his eyes peacefully. Seeing him like this gave me a sudden feeling beyond admiration , strong and indescribable.
He looked extremely attractive as his hair glistened under the sun.
When I walked closer he looked even more beautiful close up. Was that even possible?. I wanted nothing more than to stay there and stare at him forever.
"I see you're awake" he said squinting his eyes open. His grey orbes made me forget what I had come here in pursuit for.
I'm sure most of you have had times when you forget your mission upon reaching a destination. I was experiencing a situation like that one.
"Yes I'm up" I replied clearing my throat "where are we?are we allowed to be here?did you break us into this house?are w.."
"Relax I am not a criminal" he said standing up.
And just in time I looked down to meet his V line daring me to take a sneak peek. You cant blame me Carter was just too good to be real.
"Then where are we?" I asked
"Channel islands" he smiled grabbing my hand leading me to the kitchen.
And the design got me thinking was this place even real? It was huge and the marble floor made me scared to even step on it.
I was fully absent minded too carried away by the kitchen when Carter settled me on the counter.
"Whose house is this?" I finally asked as he stood between my legs. Had I brushed my teeth this would've been okay but morning breathe got me pushing him away and like the bastard he was he moved even closer.
"It belongs to a friend" he said as his minty breathe fanned my face reddening my cheeks.
"Do you mind moving away from me?" I asked annoyed this time.
He connected his nose with my neck and began trailing kisses along my jaw.
"Sto...p" I moaned pushing him.
And finally he pulled away a huge grin on his face.
"You irritate me" I said angrily
"You're cute when you're angry"
"How cliche" I mocked standing down from the counter.
"Go wear something casual I'm taking you out" he requested.
"Sure"
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
I had just finished showering when I remembered that I didnt have anything to wear. Did I mention that the bathroom didnt have a drying towel.
I guess not. So you can only imagine my worries at that time.
"Carter" I decided to swallow my huge ego and ask for help "Carter!" a few inches later "CARTER!" then finally i heard him call back.
"Do you need help showering?" He
asked his annoying voice nearing the room.
"No you pervert , theres no towel here and I dont have anything to wear"
"Give me a minute I'll be back"
And the time conscious geek did return a minute later. He knocked
"Come in" I voiced frustration lacing from my voice , I was butt naked in a shower what did you expect.
"Here's the towel" his voice echoed in the silent room but I couldn't see him thanks to the tinted shower window.
Then my seventh sense called embarrassment decided to pay good ole me a visit.
So I told him to pass the towel and as his hand poped up in the shower with the towel my left leg acted up and managed to make me slip as I tited reaching for the towel.
I was waiting for my fall , hello embarrassment my old friend...i thought to mumble . And just as I was about to fall on my face I felt arms around me.
I blew a breathe of relief and I was about to thank Carter for the save when like lighting it struck me, I was stark naked in his arms and his darkened glare did no sort of help either.
With a horrified expression I screamed and haunted he let me go which led to me crashing face down on the floor.
"sorry" he said fastly as I stood up.
The boy left the room as if he was in a marathon and I managed to walk In shame to change . Thankfully I found clothes on the bed thank Carter.
My right cheek was bruised from the fall and it kept stinging as I changed into Carter's flannel shirt and a pair of khaki shorts.
How was I going to face him. He had seen me naked and I face palmed at the memory.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"Quit whining and wear the hat" Carter fumed. Well it wasnt my fault he had planned to spend our day at Santa Barbara Beach horseback Rides.
He was treating riding a horse like a life necessity. I know millions of people who cant ride a horse including me but we still live.
And this equestrian hat wasnt even fitting my small fragile head.
"Fine" I said wearing the hat to please him. He still looked pissed but who was I kidding that popsicle would never be pleased by anything.
Four runs and over twelve falls from me later Carter decided to give up on me.
"You are incorrigible" he charged helping me up.
"I don't care"I said wiping dirt off my clothes or his for that matter.
"Well you should!" he fumed walking away.
"Why should I?" I asked as I followed after him.
"Because it is my favourite past time" he stopped walking, faced me and I felt guilty.
"I'm sorr...y" I stuttered intimidated by his gaze.
"I like your eyes" he commented walking away again less angry this time.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
I looked back at Carter as he drove me crazy.
As crazed as it sounds I wanted him. And staring at his wet body from the pool only killed my imagination I was dying of hormones.
"You are staring" he rudely stated
"Dont you think I know you muppet"
"Dont stare at me its rude to stare" he said ignoring my insult.
"Like i care"
"Well you should"
"What's your problem?" I yelled as he walked closer
"My problem?" He quirked a brow
Then he crashed his lips onto mine. I kissed him back with all the pent up anger I felt and I'm sure he was doing the same thing because i could already feel my lips swell.
"My problem is that I want you to shut up" he breathlessly said pulling away.
"I like you" he said walking away.
Should I even mention how bad I blushed.
At this rate I could even start a tomato sauce company.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
"Its mixed I mean you can be a douche sometimes" I laughed explaining to Carter why I didnt entirely like him.
"And you're a huge pain but I cope" he smiled cuddling into me.
Netflix and chill was better with company. It was our last day on the island and I couldnt help but dread leaving.
"You are really funny" he commented
"I'm flattered"
"And for a girl you're too egoistic" he commented again
"What can I say you bring out the best in me"
He smiled and kissed my forehead. I was dying ...he was killing me .
"I'll die of toothache if you keep being this sweet" I thought out loud and regretted it after seeing the slug smile on his face.
"I was born sweet"
"And he's back" I laughed
