night time talks

Chapter four





Carrie's pov.



Carrie lay with her eyes shut, still in the state of sleep but aware of things going on around you, she could feel someone watching her. She prayed it was Kelly and not Jeanne again, the older woman had a habit of making herself at home when ever she stayed. Chancing a look she opened on of her eye, breathing a sigh of relief when she saw her wife standing over her.



'It's eleven....you missed breakfast......' Kelly lay the plate of toast on the bed side her.



'Thanks...' Carrie's heart skipped a beat seeing the toast in front of her.



'I didn't do it......Ashley's here......'



'Oh...well thanks for bringing it in......' Carrie tried to smile but Kelly looked away to quickly.



'I didn't want Ashley coming in and seeing you naked......I knew you didn't have any night clothes in here......' Carrie nodded looking down at herself seeing she was exposed, the covers laying half on her and half on the floor. Kelly was wearing the t shirt again. 'Here...I brought you a robe....' Carrie accepted the robe as she pulled herself out of bed.



'This is yours.....'Carrie held up the black robe.



'Does it matter?.....' Carrie quickly shook her head as she put the robe on, with the tone in Kelly's voice she really wasn't in any mood to talk.



Carrie followed her wife into the kitchen were Jeanne and Ashley sat, as soon as Carrie saw Ashley her eyes light up.



'Why have you grown so much in a week?...... ' Carrie moved towards the pregnant woman, gently rubbing her stomach.



'Should you be doing that?.......' Carrie looked up seeing Jeanne.



'Morning Jeanne.......' Carrie moved away from Ashley.



'I mean I don't see why you should be falling all over yourself to touch Ashley.....' Jeanne answered completely ignoring Carrie polite good morning.



'Just saying hey to my god child......'



'Your what?........' Kelly shook her head as she looked on.



'God child......Kelly and I will be it's god parents.....' Carrie smiled happily as she patted Ashley's stomach again.



'Well fantastic...not only will this poor baby be born without a father but it will also have two godmothers........why not go all out and call it moonshine......' Carrie looked to Kelly to say something but the blond just shrugged her shoulders.



'We were thinking maybe Moonlight......' Carrie answered. Jeanne looked to Kelly who turned away making herself busy with the dishes.



'Yes well I'll in my room if im needed....' Jeanne stood giving Kelly a kiss on the back of the head as she left.



'Must you start with her..' Kelly said as soon as her mother left the room.



'Me?........all I said was good morning.....' Carrie and Ashley sat open mouthed as Kelly slammed down the dish before leaving the same way her mother had.





Kelly's pov.



'Mom?.....' Kelly pushed open the bedroom to see her mother laying down.



'I don't know how up put up with her........'



'Same way she puts up with me.....we're married..' Kelly watched her mother flinch at the word married.



'She doesn't have to push my buttons.....I think she does it on purpose...'



'And what about you?....' Kelly climbed onto the bed next to her mother. ' Why do you push her buttons so much?'



' I do no such thing...'



'Mom...'



'She just brings it out of me.....' Jeanne sat up looking at her daughters disapproving look. 'And don't give me that look...im your mother...i have to protect you...'



'And Carrie's my wife....you don't have to protect me from her......if you really wanted to protect me....you two should work together.' Jeanne stood shaking her head.



'Where was all this talk when you were on the phone to me at 4am last week cause she hadnt called you all day....' Kelly knew that phone call was a mistake the minute her mother answered the phone.



'Yea well next time I'll call ashley.....' Kelly stormed out slamming the door behind her.





.................................................................



Kelly entered the office seeing Ashley spin in the leather seat behind the desk.



'I so have to get myself one of these things.......' Kelly smiled looking around the room, her eyes falling on the unmade bed. ' She left about five minutes ago.....something about a new song.....'



'I didn't ask anything....' Kelly moved towards the bed pulling the covers off.



'You didn't have to.....what are you doing?'



'She never makes this bed......she doesn't even notice when it's made or not......' Ashley walked up behind Kelly picking up the picture that was wrapped up in the covers.



' I think she notices more than you think.....' Ashley left, leaving Kelly alone.





Carrie's pov.



Carrie searched through her emails in the studio, they had called her in to finish writing a song but completely ignored her when she arrived. She didn't understand how it would say she wrote the songs on her latest album when she hadn't wrote a word yet.



'So....'carrie looked up seeing one of the younger writers standing next to her. ' I hear you and the wife aren't doing so good.....'



'You did......' Carrie hated this part of her job, where she had to be stuck in a studio with a bunch of men. Men who always seemed to want to test her loyalty to Kelly.



'I've been thinking about this......'



'You've been thinking about my marriage Phil?' Phil smiled leaning in closer to the blond.



'Well ive been thinking about you.....i dont think your really gay.....i mean come on look at you...' Carrie looked down at herself.



'I don't look gay?'



'Hell no.....in fact you give me an hour in back and i'll prove to you how gay you aren't....' Carrie closed her mouth tighter hoping that the vomit wouldn't spill out.



'one hour?' Carrie asked as Phil smirked.



'One hour babe.....' Carrie shut her lap top as she stood trying her hardest to stand as tall as Phil.



'One hour in and Kelly hasn't even worked up a sweat yet ...' Carrie watched as Phil's smirk vanished. ' Tell the others im going home to my wife....and if you ever come to me talking like that again....i'll tell her.....' Phil backed away letting Carrie get to the door. ' You forget she owns this studio.....' Carrie slammed the door as hard as she could, she wanted the other men to know she was leaving angry.



Her whole body shook as she tried to get her car keys into the door, She was used to men being men but she wasn't used to being hit on like that. She managed to get home without any kind of accident and was at her front door before she even realised she was out the car. Jeanne was still parked in her space, another little dig just to make the end of her day better.



'Carrie?.....'



'Hey Ash....' Carrie tried not to laugh as she watched the pregnant woman waddle towards her.



'Early for a change?....im impressed......your wifes in bed.......'



'I didn't ask......'



'Yea yea...you didn't ask where she was I know...just thought I would tell you.....' Carrie nodded heading for the office. ' Where you going?...'



'Bed..' Carrie tried walking again but Ashley was at the door before.



'Are you really going to piss off the pregnant lady?' Maybe Carrie had been better off staying at the studio.



'Ash...im tired...' Carrie tried again but Ashley really wasn't playing games.



'So go to bed....your nice big king size bed... where your wife is.....' Carrie tried to talk but Ashley pointed towards the bedroom.



'Fine...' Carrie slipped into the bedroom closing the door before Ashley could say another else.



Carrie's eyes met Kellys the moment the door was closed.



'Ashley....' Carrie couldn't believe she was explaining why she was in her own bedroom.



'I heard...' Kelly cut her off. ' the doors not that thick. ' Carrie nodded as she sat at the bottom of the bed . 'You can wait till she falls asleep and leave if you want......if you want to go to the office that is......' Carrie put her head down.



'I think she's sleeping in there......to big to get up the stairs now.....' Carrie looked up when she heard Kelly let out a giggle.



'I had to take off her shoes earlier.......she can't bend....' Carrie let out a laugh causing Kelly to stop talking. Their eyes meet causing Carrie to stop too.



'I'll just stay in here....' Kelly didn't answer as Carrie began to undress.



She could feel Kelly's eyes on her as she slipped off her jeans. Not that she was complaining, it was good to know that she could still interest her. Once she was naked she had the difficult decision where to stay naked or take the long walk across the room to get a shirt. She could still feel Kelly looking at her as she sat with her back to her.



'It gets hot in here during the night......' Carrie had her answer swinging her legs around she made herself comfortable. It felt weird being in the bed while Kelly was awake, she usually waited till the younger blond was sleeping before sneaking into bed beside her.



'want the light out?' Kelly nodded, placing her laptop on the bedside table.



'Your home early.....' Carrie listened to the warmth in Kelly's voice.



'Yea....I didn't feel like staying.....'



'Hard day?' Carrie smiled into the darkness, they were heading into a normal conversation.



'Just some silly things....'



'Did something happen?' Carrie stayed silent as she felt Kelly slide closer to her. ' what happened?'



'Just Phil....'



'What did Phil do?'



'He hit on me....' Carrie held her breath waiting for the shouting to start.



'Phil the sound guy?' Kelly asked sounding a little shocked.



'The same one...'



'But he knows your married.....i hired him.....'



'Lets just sleep.....he was just being a man...' Carrie could have kicked herself for saying something.



'What did he say?' Kelly sat up turning on the light causing Carrie to close her eyes. ' What did he say?.....'



'He asked me to give him an hour and he would prove to me how I wasn't gay......' Carrie kept her eyes closed as she felt Kelly leave the bed.



'He asked to sleep with you?.....he had the nervous to ask you that.....and what did you say?' Carrie opened her eyes to see Kelly at the bottom of the bed.



'I....'



'You know what....i dont want to know.......im going to write......' Carrie threw her head back against the pillow as she heard Kelly slam her office door.





Kelly's pov.



She could hear the laughter even before she opened the door, Carrie's song played in the background.



'Phil?....' She stayed at the studio door .



'Kelly?...that you?'



'Yea Phil can I see you in my office.....' Kelly walked towards her office hearing Phil follow her in.



'Your late tonight boss lady....' Phil smiled nervously.



'Your getting a new job Phil.....' Kelly stood behind her desk waiting for his reaction.



'I dont get it.....'



'Sexual harassment isn't something im going to tolerate.....im doing what every other boss would do...' Kelly kept her voice calm as she watched Phil sink in his chair.



'I dont know what's she's told you but.....'



'But what?......she came on to you .......she offered herself to you?......Go on what did she do....' Kelly stood leaning both her hands on the desk in front of her.



'She....'



'Before you say anything......remember that woman is my wife.....you seemed to forget that tonight....' Phils ran his hands over his face.



'Kelly im....'



'Dont say your sorry...' Kelly interrupted. 'Your fired Phil...now leave my studio before I pick up this phone and press charges.....' Phil quickly stood up and left the room without even looking back.



Kelly took a moment before leaving the office and joining the remaining two men in the booth.



'Give me the song Carrie recorded today...' both men jumped up doing as they were told, none of them saying a word to Kelly. 'You heard what happened to Phil........I'll do the same to again if I have to....' Both men nodded in agreement as Kelly left.



Kelly sat in her driveway listening again to the song Carrie had recorded earlier in the day, The soft voice coming threw the speakers soothing Kelly's soul. Carrie didn't know it but Kelly had sneaked out every song she had recorded from the studio, keeping them in her car to listen to when she was alone.



Carrie's soft snore filled the room when Kelly entered, her heart warmed hearing the familiar noise. She could see the outline of Carrie's body spread across middle of the bed leaving only a small space for Kelly. Not that she could blame the country singer for enjoying the comfort, she hadn't had it in a while. As slowly and gently as she could Kelly slide into the small space available to her. Like it was the most natural thing in the world Carrie's body wrapped itself around Kelly's causing the tears in Kelly's eyes to form. She couldn't believe how good it felt having her wife in her arms again, as the tears slowly slide down her cheeks Kelly felt herself falling asleep.
