They carried in Carter's keyboard and his traveling file cabinet that housed all of Carter's music he played and wrote.
"Guys thanks a lot for bringing this over. I know it wouldn't fit in the cab. Casey heard talking and came out of the kitchen. Carter's eyes bugged out of his head after realizing Casey was still in her underwear. " Christ Casey, put some fucking clothes on."
"Carter London, you need to relax. These two are like brothers to me."
"Oh yea? Do you walk around the house like this when Chris is around?"
"Haha. Very funny." She blew him off and his overprotective attitude. She threw herself in Tommy's arms for a big hug.
"It's so great to see you lug nut. I missed you guys." As Casey was in Tommy's arms she faced the door and Tommy faced Carter and he began making googly eyes at him and started mouthing silently " Oh yea baby, fuck me, oh yea Casey, do me." He bit his lip and shut his eyes. Carter shook his head and gave him the middle finger knowing that Tommy was trying to get a rise out of him. The hug ended and she went to hug Jake.
"Come on in guys, I have bacon cooked but I burnt the pancakes. I can make eggs."
"No thanks Case, we have to get going and head down to Beach Bums with the rest of the equipment for tonight."
"Do you guys need me to come?" Carter asked
"Not really. It's just a few things. But I wanted to ask you if we perform "Saving Grace" from the last album if that would be ok then we can do a Dirty Heads cover."
"Sounds great man. I think two songs will be plenty. We are on vacation remember?"
"You got that right. I want to spend as much time with Chloe as I can before we go back on tour." Jake said. Chloe was Jake's girlfriend for the past two years. Jake was a long term relationship kind of guy and wasn't into the groupie thing. Never, ever. While Carter and Tommy were getting head from some random girls, Jake was back on the bus video chatting with Chloe.
"Alright then thanks for bringing over the keyboard and I'll see you guys at 6:30 for a sound check."
They hugged Casey again and headed out the door. Casey turned to Carter. " So then what are you going to do the rest of the day?"
In his mind he told her , " Well first I'd like to take you to get a white dress and wisk you off to Vegas and make you my wife. I'd have your heart and you would have mine. I'd finally be able to taste your sweet lips that I've been longing to devour for nine years now. Then I'd make the best love to you for hours and make little musical babies that would look just like your sweet face. I'd give you the world until my dying breath." Of course all that came out was, " Probably watch the Rays game, jerk off and take a shower. What about you?" She smacked his arm.
"Dude, your gross. Just make sure you clean up after yourself. I'm going in town to buy something for tonight. I want to wear something new for when I see Jordan tonight." Ah shit. Carter forgot all about the douche who stole the love of his life's heart. He would have to meet him tonight and pretend he didn't want to slit the bastards throat for stealing his woman. Who was he kidding. It was his own fault.
"I can't wait till you meet him, Car. He is so sweet and you would never even know he had money. He's just like us." All Carter could conjure up in his mind over and over again was " Douche bag, douche bag, rich douche bag, I hope your ugly douche bag, you have the girl I love douche bag. Go fuck yourself douche bag. He mustered up a fake smile and said to her, " I'm looking forward to it Case." She hugged him and made her way upstairs to the shower. Now the image of her naked and wet body in the shower was in his brain. The thoughts that he had never seen her in that capacity and that Jordan Reid had burned through his heart like fire and brimstone. He already hated him.
After Casey left to go into town, Carter did exactly what he told her he was doing. He watched the one p.m. Rays game. He headed up stairs and into the shower. He
