Right Kind Of Wrong

I've got to hand it to the girl, she doesn't crack under the spotlight. My mother has been grilling poor Carrie for an hour and the the girl is still standing strong. Hell she's even won a few points. Now Ashley, she's just happy to be away from Jason and his wife, who seems to be taking over my house from the sounds of it. I turn my attention back to Carrie who's sitting across the cabin from my with my mother and who's listening to her talk but keeping her eyes on me at all times.

'She's flirting with you.........'I ignore Ashley even if she does have a point. The little looks and bottom lip biting do point to flirting but I don't want to look like I know what she's doing. She's got a plan going for herself. How to stay straight and be with around a Lesbian at the same time. But she's doing well. She hasn't kissed me yet, and god that sounds very big headed. I can't let the image of her lips touching mine enter my head or I may have to make my way over their and throw her on the table right there in front of my mother. OK....Ewww...... Oh that works. Thinking of my mother when I want to kiss Carrie.. Ewww.........

'Why are you making that face?............' My mothers talking to me but I really don't want to tell her the truth.

'What face?.......'Acting stupid always works with my mother.

'Your a weird child...........'she sigh and turns back to Carrie. 'She's always been weird.............'

'I could tell it was a life time of practise.............'There both laughing and I love the sight of it, then I realise that they are laughing at me.

'Your screwed...............' Ashley's leaning into me as she whispers in my ear. 'Your mother and your crush joking about you …........so screwed..........'

'Oh shut up...............' Not my best comeback but it's all I got.

….............................................

With mother and Ashley now sleeping in our cabin with us I can somehow relax a little. Can't attack the girl with my mother and friend here. Well I could but I don't think my mother would approve. So I can sleep easy but then the memory of Carrie moaning my name in her sleep comes back to be from the night before and I filled with fear again. She does it any my mother hears she will be planning our wedding, she does it and Ashley hears then the poor girl gets a round of teasing.

The ruffling of sheets pulls me out of the light sleep I'm in, I roll over onto my side and am met with big happy eyes looking back at me.

'Come with me.............'she jumps from my bunk and walks towards the door. I don't even ask where, I think I would follow no matter what.

The cold air hits my bare legs and I jump with fright, she's there at my side in an instant holding my arms in place.

'You ok?............'She's laughing.

'It's cold.......'

'It's 4am and we're next to a lake............'she points out as she walks towards it. I follow closely behind.

'And why are we here?...........'I whisper into the darkness as she takes a seat. I do the same and look out into the water.

'I wanted to talk to you................'

'Ok.........' I settle myself and wait for her to begin.

'When I told you about Laura I was scared..............but the more I think about it the more I.........'She stops to think of what to say, how to put her words. 'It helped.....you know......i feel better talking about...........'

'You don't talk about it with the doctor?............'

'It's to be forgotten.........'she says in a serious voice and I know they are the words of the doctor and not her own.

'Where's Laura now?.............' Crying for her lose I hope.

'She's back in my home town.........she got married last summer............'

'Did that make you sad.................' Her head shoots up and she's put up the wall around her. I've said the wrong thing.

'No.....it was a lovely wedding.............'

'You were there?..............' She stands and I know I've ended this conversation. I pushed when she wasn't ready.

'We should get back in case your mom or Ashley wakes.................' I nod in agreement and follow her back into our cabin. She doesn't speak to me as she climbs into bed and I have climb above her to get into mine. I move around to get comfortable and I can hear her sighing heavily. I said the wrong thing.
