Chapter 56

---Few Nights Later----
I hear my bedroom door shut, I turn and reach across my bed to feel for Logan but he isn’t there. My eyes slowly open to see a note and a rose in his place. Stretching while yawning I reach for the note and slowly sit up. Moving my hand through my hair I open the note.
*‘I have a meeting which suck which also means Carl is taking you to school which also sucks I know anyway Happy Valentine’s day there are plenty more on the way X,’*
I smile a little and take the rose and hold it to my nose to smell it and then get off the bed. I walk to my window to see him getting in his car and driving off. My smile widens and I walk out of my bedroom down the stairs to the kitchen to see Carl who was stood at the cooker.
“Morning gorgeous,” he says. I look him up and down to see him just in his boxers. He scratches his back and then spoons a load of bacon and egg onto a plate and walks to the table with it and sits. “Apparently you’re breakfast is something different,” he says. I smile and sit down opposite him.
“Happy Valentine’s day,” I say.
“Hmm to you too,” he said and then places two red envelops in front of me “they came for you through the post,” he said and fills his mouth.
“Did you have a good night?” I ask.
“Yes,”
“Did you get laid?”
“Yes,” he said and then looks at me “you,”
“Oh yeah,” I said nodding.
“He’s still being frigid,” he states “I could sort that out for you if you like,” he said smiling, I laugh and reach over for his bacon “Oi mine go eat your fattening crap,” he snaps. I pout and look down “fine but I’ll have you know I’m hung-over and you eating my cure is hurting me and my head,” he said as he stands and walks to one of the cupboards to take down a small plate. He sits back down in his seat and starts to put a few pieces of bacon on the plate and a fried egg. He now has three the greedy thing.
“You’re going to get fat one day,” I mutter and take the plate and then the two cards. “Why would he send me two?” I ask.
“Have you ever thought you may have another admirer?” he asks frowning at me. I shake my head and put a piece of bacon in my mouth while I open one of the cards. “You also have to take your medication,” I sigh
“Hey don’t get all hissy with me he was the one that told me to remind you,” he says.
“Hmm,” said and read the card. It had sparkly red writing on the front and a teddy bear holding a flower looking all cute. The inside was the usual ‘happy valentine’ stuff and saying how much this particular person hearts me and then at the bottom it said ‘from?’ I frown and place it on the table and pick up the other card. This card similar to that one but is ‘Me to you’ and it has a ribbon at the fold and more writing on the front. The inside is similar too but it said ‘from L x x’ I place that one down.
“So?” he says
“I don’t know who that one is from but it’s not from Logan cos it’s different writing,” I said he nods and then starts eating. I stare at the card and frown and then looks down at my food and start to eat it.
After eating Carl places my meds in front of me. I sigh and take out the right amount for each one. He stares at them confusion written all over him as he places a glass of water in front of me.
“I need another glass,” I say.
“That’s what I was thinking with all that,” he said and walks over to the sink to fill up a glass with water.
“Do you want to know what is what?” I ask. He nods “ok this little white one is for my anaemia, this one is for my anxiety, this is for my blood pressure, this is pretty much vitamins, this is to make me gain weight, this is contraceptive, this one is for my depression and the rest is pretty much vitamins, they dissolve hence why I need another glass,” I explain.
“And you take two of each?”
“No I take one of the iron tablet 3 times a day though all the rest is like two twice a day or three times a day or something,” I explain. “I don’t really know Logan just tells me when to take what so I do,” I explain.
“Oh,” he said and watches me as I take them and after taking my pills I go upstairs to get ready.
I stand in front of my mirror wearing some leggings and a denim shirt with a white tank top underneath. I’m debating on my hair on whether I should have it up or down. I hold it all up in my hand with my bangs down and look in the mirror and then let it go and ruffle it a bit. Sighing I sit on my buffet pouting and brushing my hair once more.
“Do you want me to do your hair for you?” I hear Carl say. I look towards my bedroom door to see him stood with his arms folded across his chest. I nod knowing he loves doing my hair. He smiles and walks towards me and sits behind me on the buffet. “I’ll do a side French plait for you,” he said “that way pieces of your hair will fall free so you technically have it up and down in a nice messy look,” he states.
“What do you do during the day?” I ask.
“I have classes, the only reason I know this is because I have three sisters,” he states. I nod showing I understand and he starts to do my hair.
“You’re older than Logan aren’t you?” I ask.
“By a year yes,” he states while moving fingers through my hair to plait it.
“Are you doing anything today?”
“I have classes at nine until about two and then home sleep until about six go to work at eight and be home for six in the morning. Why?” he asks.
“No I just wondered. What are you doing at college?”
“Music, I’m sure I’ve told you I want to be a music teacher,” he states. I nod and he finishes of my hair by putting a band half way through the length and then clips bits in place. “There you look gorgeous as always,” he said smiling. I smile back and stand while looking at my hair in the mirror, it looked good I loved him doing my hair, Logan tried every now and then when he was bored but he could not do what Carl did. “Come on then or we’ll be late, I’m guessing you want to stop off at a card shop?” he asks.
“Oh yeah, I totally forgot, I mean I didn’t think he’d get me anything to be honest,” I said and look at Carl. He smiles a little and walks out of my room while I put a thin line of eyeliner on and a thin coat of mascara. To be honest it felt refreshing to be able to only put makeup on and not worry about hiding something, it also felt refreshing to just put on a small amount.
