Loving Carter

14

Extremely sorry for the wait but being a senior in high school is not easy! But now that I'm out of school I have a lot more time on my hands. I'll be 100% better about updating! I promise!

Carter POV

I peek into the room as Zora faced the opposite direction, softly sobbing. She's been that way since her father's funeral earlier today.

At least we were back in our home, but there are so many questions left unanswered. I take a seat on the bed, rubbing her back.

"You hungry?" I ask. She just shook her head, still crying. I frown. I didn't like this at all. "I ran you a bath so you can relax and get into something more comfortable."

"Okay." she mumbles. I give her hand a light squeeze, and leave the room. I figured she wanted to be left alone right now. I just check on the twins, who were sleeping like always. I considered this a blessing. I take a seat in the recliner, lost in thought. So much was going through my head.

I guess I fell asleep or something because I woke up to the scent of cocoa butter and vanilla surrounding me. Zora stood over me, in only a white towel. Her puffy eyes stared back at me. I stand up, looking down at her.

"I need you to take my mind off of everything." She whispers closing her eyes. "I don't wanna think about anything. Even if only for a moment, I just want my mind somewhere else." She opens her eyes again, batting her eyelashes.

"What do you want me to do?" I whisper back, placing one hand on her cheek, running my thumb over her bottom lip. "Anything to make you feel better sweetheart. Just name it." I nod. Her eyes water. I didn't want her to cry again. So I just kiss her. Her knees buckle and I wrap my arms around her. I slowly slide her towel down until it finally hit the floor.

If this is what it took to make her feel better then I was more than glad to help. But then again, she was vulnerable and I felt like I was taking advantage, so I pull away.

"We can't do this right now. I'll hold you if you'd like but I don't wanna take advantage-"

"Carter." she closes her eyes shaking her head. "Just make love me to please."

And that's exactly what I did until we couldn't take anymore. It was much needed for both of us I think.

I lightly bounce Noah as I ordered our pizza for the night. He made noises with his hand in his mouth pulling at my wife beater every now and then.

"Can you not?" I chuckle sitting him in the high chair next to Noelle who was pretty much doing the same thing. I smile at Zora and I's beautiful creations.

More than anything I wanted us to feel like a regular little family and not one that's been through what we've been through. I was confused about everything. If her dad was the one who was after her then are we in the clear now that he's... dead?

Zora POV

My phone vibrated under me, disturbing me. I groan, answering it.

"Hello?" I yawn.

"Z?" A shaky voice said. I knew that voice any day.
