MOMENTS OF CLARITY
Moments series #2

Releasing June 22, 2017
Blessed.
That was
me.
In every
way that mattered anyway. I had a close, loving relationship with my parents,
my older brother was my hero, and with graduation right around the corner, I
was on the verge of turning my love of photography into a career.
Then there
was Carter, surprisingly he turned out to be the yin to my yang. Where I was
alternative, slightly nerdy and a whole lot awkward, Carter was smooth, popular
and confidant. Yet somehow, we fit. Or so I thought.
With the
events of one night, the clarity with which I once saw my life vanished.
Leaving me completely unprepared for the reality I would now have to face and
the choices that accompanied it.
“There’s
my Girl,” Carter says as he nears me, wrapping his arms around my waist then
planting a kiss on my lips.
I
flick my eyes up to his, “Hey there,” I grin. I can’t help the smile that fills
my face whenever he’s around.
His
eyes roam over my body as they always do, checkout my outfit of the day, “I like
it,” he says.
I
chuckle, “You always do,” I say with a roll of my eyes.
Once
in the car Carter takes a moment to think, “I wasn’t a huge fan of the floral
sundress with the mustard cardigan.”
Turning
to face him I raise a brow, “Oh really?”
His
cheeks redden slightly, “I’m not saying I didn’t enjoy seeing you in it or what
you did to me while you were in it. I just didn’t enjoy others seeing you in
it.” His palm comes to rest on my thigh, his fingers digging in slightly,
“These are mine,” he says possessively. Then he grins again, “Besides, it was
more the cardigan I didn’t like, who wears mustard anyway?”
I
throw my head back and laugh, “I do, obviously.”
He
shrugs and turns the key in the ignition, “Whatever, I was just making my
point, I don’t like every single thing you wear,” he says as he navigates us
out of the parking lot.
A
few minutes later I ask him, “Is this okay to wear to a MMA gym? Maybe I should
get changed?” I say looking down at my Avengers skater dress with Hulk green
leggings underneath.
Carter
side eyes me, “You are not getting changed. I want the guys to meet my one of a
kind sexy little nerd.”
