night time talks

Kelly's pov.





Kelly knew Carrie would be angry when she got home, she was angry herself. She couldn't believe her mother would do that. She seemed to think Kelly's life was her to run. She sat watching out the window as Jeanne helped Graham in with his bags. He was staying for a few days and Kelly was yet to tell Carrie. They were going to Reba's for dinner which meant painting on happy faces and pretending everything was OK. Kelly couldn't bare the thought of the older singer knowing there was problems in their marriage. She worked to hard to show everyone how wrong they had been about Carrie in the start. Reba herself had even warned the young Texan about Carrie, saying the blond would soon go back to her wild ways. It had been five years and Kelly had shown them all how wrong they were, even if she was now thinking they had been right all along.



'Look Kelly he brought his guitar....maybe you guys can write a song together......' Jeanne waved the guitar in front of Kelly's face.



'Yea.....' Graham smiled. ' just like the old days.' Kelly ignored both of them as her eyes caught Carrie's car pulling into the drive way.



'He's still here?....' Carrie asked even before saying hello.



'Mom.....mom.... sort of asked him to stay.....' Kelly watched as her wife clenched her jaw shut. ' I didn't know she was going to do it....I swear...'



'It's been a long day......I just want to come home to a quiet house.......' Carrie sighed leaning up against the car door.



'I can't tell him to leave...'Kelly whispered as she saw her mother go back to Graham's car.



'Why can't you?....' Carrie looked towards Jeanne as the older woman gave a small wave.



'He's my friend.....'



'He's your ex.....you wouldn't like one of mine staying over would you?'



'Like you would remember any of their names....' Kelly knew it was the wrong thing to say but it was to late, she could hear her mother laugh behind her as she went back inside.



'Nice...' Carrie pushed herself off the car.



'Carrie.....'



'Forget it Kelly.....im going to get dressed for tonight.' Carrie brushed passed her wife as she entered the house.





Carrie's pov.





Carrie hated these nights, she could never seem to get out of them not matter how hard she tried. It was another part of their pretend that everything was normal. Once a month Kelly and Carrie would dress up and join others at Rebas house for dinner and games, it would be three hours of fake smiles , as they both tried their bests not to show Reba there was trouble in paradise. And with the news that Graham would be spending the next few days with them, a night out was not something Carrie really needed.



Carrie turned hearing her wife enter the room.



'I thought you were getting dressed....' Carrie tried to ignore the tone of Kelly's voice.



'My mind wandered.....i'll be ready in a sec....'



'I don't want to be late....Reba has some really important people coming tonight....'



'I said ill be a second......' Carrie stood, pulling her top off. The dress she was wearing hung on the door beside Kelly. As she approached the shorter blond, only wearing a skirt she could see her wife begin to panic. As close as she could Carrie stood in front of her wife reaching behind her to reach for the dress. She could feel Kelly breath gently on her neck as she leaned in closer.



'Your...your not going to wear a bra?' Kelly tried her best to keep her eyes on Carrie's face but she felt them drift lower. The urge too strong to stop her.



'It's a backless dress.......' Carrie stayed where she was for a few seconds before moving away and turning her back on her wife. She could still feel Kelly's eyes roaming over her body as she slid off her skirt before sliding the dress on.



'You..you need me to tie the straps for you?'



'Please...' Carrie kept her back to her wife as she felt her hands come up taking the straps. Kelly slowly began tying the strap on the back of Carrie's dress. Kelly's hands rested on carries shoulders both not saying a word. She could feel a warm breath on her back just then Kelly's lips gentle rested on her shoulder. They didn't move just rested there causing Carrie's heart to race.



'We don't have to stay late tonight....if you dont want to..I know your working tomorrow....' Kelly's lips brushed against her back as she spoke.



'Actually im not in the studio tomorrow.........no sound guy.....' Kelly moved away causing Carrie to turn. ' I didnt know you talked to Phil.....'



'I can't have him doing that to any one else.....it wouldn't be good for business.....'



'Yea....'Carrie agreed, her head lowering.



'And......' Carrie looked back up seeing her wife moving towards her again. ' I dont like people talking to you like that.....treating you with disrespect.....'



'Thanks.....' Carrie whispered as she watched Kelly leave the room.





Kelly pov.



Reba's house was full by the time they arrived, Kelly's band already taking their place at the bar.



'Couldn't drag Miss Underwood away from the studio?... ' Kate shouted over the crowd.



'Mrs Clarkson.......'Kelly corrected as the band began welcoming them.



'Sorry guys....I took a little to long getting ready.....' Carrie rolled her eyes at the whistles from the men in the band.



'Hey stop thinking about my wife that way.....' Kelly giggled, her eyes caught Carrie's making her stop. She could see Carrie's cheeks reddening. 'Sorry...' she whispered ,gaining a nod from her wife.



The party was soon in full swing as more people poured in, Kelly tried to keep beside Carrie but she soon lost the blond in the crowd of people. She found herself next to Reba as the red head talked to a music promoter.



'You know our Kelly.....she can sing anything..' Kelly politely smiled as her eyes scanned the room for Carrie.



'And that wife of hers...' The promoter joined in.



'Your just both trying to butter me up so ill be in your team when the games start.' Kelly answered as her eyes caught Carrie talking to Reba's son.



'Well as the host of this party im telling you now girl...your on my team....' Kelly smiled along with Reba as she watched Carrie and Rebas son leave the room.



Carrie's pov.





'Thanks Shelby......not really in the mood for games tonight......' Shelby handed Carrie a can of coke as she sat next to her on the bed.



'Try living here all year round....i swear you think Kelly is obsessed with games...trying living with my mother...... ' Carrie nodded in agreement.



'So you ready for me to kick your butt again?...'



'Thought you didn't want to play games tonight....'



'This is wii.....totally different kind of game....' Carrie watched on as Shelby began loading up the game. She felt kind of silly to be intruding on Reba's sons night but she couldn't handle another minute downstairs surrounded by people. She couldn't cope with watching her wife laugh and joke with people when she couldn't even has a civil conversation with her.



'So excited about the tour?.....Kelly says your going it alone...' Carrie smiled, for someone so young he sure knew how the music business worked.



'All alone......'



'You know she'll be following you around hoping you dont catch her......she's already got dad buying her tickets for your new york shows.....'



'What?.....'



'damn.....i wasn't supposed to say was I?......she got dad to buy her tickets for your shows......'



'She didn't tell me...' Carrie sat shocked on the bed.



'Yea I guess it was a surprise......I mean they arent even good seats......she's away up back......' Shelby went back to loading the game while Carrie sat frozen to the spot.





Kelly's pov.





Kelly finally got away from Reba, the woman sure knew how to talk. She stood at the bottom of the stairs looking up, not knowing if she could make the trip up them and see what her wife was up to. She felt guilty for thinking anything bad about Carrie but she couldn't get the image of Shelby and Carrie slipping up the stairs away from everyone.



'Kelly....settle this for us.....' Kelly watched as Kate and Jason walked towards her. 'Best kind of pie?...'



'Pumpkin....'Kelly answered without taking her eyes off the stairs. She waited till Kate and Jason ran back to the group before she made her way up the stairs towards Shelby's room. As soon as she got to his door her heart began to beat just a little faster, she really didn't want to open the door but she knew she would have to .Slipping it open gently she stood in the doorway watching the scene in front of her.



'I knew it wouldn't take you long to find her.....'Shelby smiled standing up handing Kelly the wii remote. 'Cant keep away....' Shelby laughed before leaving the room.



'I.....'



'You what?......'Carrie stood shaking her head. ' What did you think I was doing?.'



'I just......I didn't know....' Kelly couldn't think what to say as her wife walked towards her.



'He's 18 year old.......what's the matter with you.......' Carrie stood with her hands on her hips.



'Ok....that was wrong....thinking that was wrong......' Kelly tried to defend herself.



'We can't do this now........i.....i need a drink....' Carrie pushed pass her wife making her way back downstairs.





Carrie's pov.





Carrie sat nodding her head as Kate told her another story, she couldn't believe she had met another person who could talk just as much as Kelly. Her fourth glass of wine was now beginning to go to her head, making Kate's story a little funnier. Every once in while Kelly would slide up to the bar and try and talk but Carrie would turn her full attention to Kate until her wife walked away.



'Your drunk....' Kate giggled.



'So are you...' Carrie pointed out.



'Your wife will be mad.....'



'So will.....' Carrie stopped hearing Kate let out a loud laugh.



'I don't have a wife....'Kate shouted a little too loud.



'Shhh......you want to get us thrown out of here......' The two blonds sat giggling at the bar.





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





Carrie's head was spinning by the time she and Kelly made it into their car, as they pulled out of Reba's street she could feel the anger coming off her wife.



'Your ignoring me now?'



'Your drunk...any kind of conversation we have will be pointless....'



'But your ignoring me.....' Carrie stated.



'Im not...' Kelly sighed. ' Lets just get home.....'



'Im not cheating on you.......' Carrie turned in her seat to look at the blond driving.



'Ok.....'



'I mean it....im not.....'



'Can you get in the house without my mother seeing you drunk?......i dont want another conversation with her.....'



'She hates me.....'



'She doesn't'



'She hates me cause I love you.......but you know what...I dont care......cause she's not going to stop me loving you.....'





Kelly's pov.





Kelly gripped the steering wheel tighter in her hands as she heard Carrie confession. She could cry if it wasn't for the fact she was driving and didn't want to kill them both.



'She doesn't hate you....'



'Stop thinking about your mother...... I love you....'



'Your drunk....' Kelly pulled into their driveway.



'I love you.....'



'Ok.....' Kelly climbed out the car walking in front towards the house.



'Im not going to stop you know.....' Carrie shouted as Kelly disappeared into the house.





Kelly sat on the bed shaking, it had been the first real conversation they had had in months and Carrie had to be drunk to have it. She watched as Carrie stumbled into the bedroom, catching herself on the door.



'He's in the office....' Kelly took a minute before she realised what Carrie was talking about.



'I guess your In here tonight then......' Carrie made her way towards the bed.



'Guess so....' Carrie began stripping, standing naked in front of Kelly she began to smile.



'What?.....'



'Im so wasted.....'Carrie giggled as she fell in the bed.



'You wont be laughing tomorrow.......' Kelly pointed out as she climbed in to bed. The moment she she lay her head on the pillow she felt a hand snake around her waist. ' What...what are you doing....'



'Holding my wife......'



'Carrie......'



'No...not Carrie.......and don't say I'm drunk.'



'You are...' Kelly said as she tried to slide away from Carrie's touch.



'Doesn't stop me wanting to hold you......' Carrie wrapped her leg around the shorter blond.



'I don't want you regretting this tomorrow......'



'I love you.....' Carrie stated again.



'I know....' Kelly whispered. She felt Carrie lay her head on her chest.



'Say it....' Carrie whispered into the dark. 'Say it please.......' Warm tears landed on Kelly's chest as Carrie begged. ' please....'



'I love you.....'Kelly whispered, Wrapping her arms around the taller blond on top of her, she held her close as the warm tears continued.
