summer nights {carl gallagher}

eight

3 weeks later

Three weeks have went by since the incident with Carl had happened. Lately he's been acting differently towards me and I don't know why. Debbie and I still hang out everyday and she says Carl is probably going through another one of his 'phases'

Whatever that means.

The sun was currently setting as I was walking to the Gallaghers to hang with Debbie

I also really wanted to talk to Carl and see how he is doing. My feelings for him have gotten stronger but I don't think he feels the same way.

Debbie opened the door for me and I saw Carl on the couch as I walked in

" Just wait here I'll be right back" Debbie said

Perfect this is my chance

I sat down next to Carl. He glared at me and didn't say a word

"Hey" I said. No response

What is with him?

"How are you feeling?" He didn't even look at me.

"Why aren't you talking to me? Did I do something wrong?" Now he's making me nervous

Oh wait he always does. But this time is different

"No, I just have a lot of things on my mind" he said

Finally, this boy says something

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really" he sighed and got up from the couch.

Before he left the room he turned back to me and said " What are you doing later?"

"Well Debbie asked me to sleepover so I'll be here"

He raised his eyebrows and smirked at me.

What has gotten into him? Two minutes ago he was ignoring me.

"I have to leave for work in a few minutes but I'll be back at midnight. Meet me in my room okay babe?"

He didn't give me time to answer and just left.

It's not that I would have said no it's just he's acting really weird and I don't know why. I'll ask him later.

Debbie came into the living room with a bunch of snacks and movies

"Where's Carl?" She said placing the items on the table

"He left for work" I looked through the movies she brought.

"Which one should we watch first?"

We both decided to watch Love Rosie

I love that movie

_______________________

Two hours had past and the movie was over. My eyes were on the clock

It was 11:50 only ten minutes till Carl will be home

Oh god I hope he's okay and not on drugs or something

"I'm getting tired I'm gonna go to bed" Debbie said as she yawned

"Okay I'll meet you up there in a few" she nodded and left

The clock read 11:53 now

To pass some time I went into the kitchen and poured my self a glass of water

Where could this boy be? Should I call him?

My clothes felt dirty on my body so I went up to Debbie's room to put my pajamas on

I grabbed my pink tank top and shorts out of her room to go change in the bathroom. As I was changing I heard footsteps walk past. It sounded like Carl's but i can't be sure

Silently I pushed the bathroom door and peeked around the side to see Carl in his room

Hesitantly I knocked on his door

"Come in"

With that I walked into his room shyly not knowing what to say

"You just gonna stand there looking like that? Come here" he patted the spot next to him on his bed

"What did you want to talk about at midnight?"

He immediately leaned into me and attached his lips to mine. I was surprised but I kissed him back. He quickly pulled back heavily breathing

"What was that for?" I looked down at my hands and felt my cheeks get red

"Just the heat of the moment, I also really wanted to kiss you"

Awe

I smiled back at him cause what else was I gonna say? I should really tell him how I feel about him before he finds another girl. But how? I can't just be like 'oh by the way I really like you' nah I don't think so. It was getting a little awkward since I wasn't saying anything.

"Carl, is there anything else you need to tell me? Like why you haven't been talking to me for the past few weeks?"

"Well, no I just got busy with work and other stuff was on my mind" he got up to get clothes from his drawer

"just wanted to know you were okay. If you ever need to talk I'm here" I stuttered as he was taking off his shirt and putting a new one on. He caught me staring oh no

"You gonna keep staring at me?" He laughed

Feeling slightly embarrassed I turned away. "Sorry"

"Don't worry about babe, I was just kidding"

Why does he keep calling me that we're not even dating. I really wish we were though

" Carl, I need to tell you something"

Just do it Alyssa, go ahead

"Hm what is it" he sat next to me and wrapped his arms around me and put his head in the crook of my neck. His cologne is so hot

"Umm well" just do it you wimp

" Alyssa you know you can tell me anything, don't be afraid" he assured me

"I know it's just" he lifted his head

"Babe just tell me" babe.

Well here goes nothing

"Okay fine, I really like you Carl"
