Peter smirked at him and turned back to his journal. Carl scowled and flashed Pete two fingers.
Flatmates With Benefits - Part Two
This is set a few months/weeks after Carl has moved in with Pete.
“Peter, you cunt, why the fuck is there no hot water! You had to choose today of all days to have your annual shower, you don’t even enjoy it, but when I want a shower- need a shower- there's nothing there to have it with!”
Carl stormed into the living room where Pete was sprawled lazily on the couch.
“Are you even listening to me?” Carl says, hands on his hips.
“Course I am! Just choosing to ignore it, is all. Anyway, I didn’t use all the water up, you could always have a cold shower”
Peter smirked at him and turned back to his journal. Carl scowled and flashed Pete two fingers. He tried to look disinterested. Why should he care what, or who, Pete was writing about but, eventually, his curiosity got the better of him.
“What’re you writing Pete?” He flumped down onto the the sofa beside Pete, nicked his cigarette and attempted to read the scrawling that was Pete’s writing. This time it was Pete’s turn to scowl.
“Not telling you” he said, sounding childish, even to himself.
“Oh come on, why not?”
“Because, Carl, It’s private and I don’t want anyone reading it”
“What, not even me? your best friend and companion through thick and thin, your partner in crime, your-”
“No! not even you! You might be surprised to hear this Carl but the whole world does not revolve around you!”
Peter turned to look at Carl, preparing himself for the angry look on Carl’s face but there wasn’t one. Instead, there were two round pools of hurt swimming with tears that seemed to have replaced Carl’s, usually icy, blue eyes. Carl looked away from Pete and turned his back to him, so he was facing the wall.
‘Peter, you twat, now look what you’ve gone and done. Made him all upset you have, and there was me thinking I was the only one that got emotional. Best make it right Peter......
“I’m sorry Carlos. I shouldn’t have snapped at you.” Pete sighed. “It’s just, well, there’s things in here I don’t want read, y’know? There’s some embarrassing things in there I wouldn’t want anyone to ever see. Maybe one day I’ll show it to the person I love, someone who won’t just laugh but until then.....”
Carl turned back to look at Pete still with hurt in his eyes but accompanied with another emotion. Could it be...? no, thought Pete, it can’t have been. But just for a second there Pete could have sworn he saw a flicker of want in those blue eyes. Pete dismissed this idea reluctantly. He must have imagined it.
Oh god, thought Carl. What I wouldn’t give to be that person. The person he shares all his hopes and dreams with, his ideas, however silly they might seem to him I’m sure they’re fantastic. No, he stopped himself, there’s no way he would ever feel that way about someone like me. I’m his best mate for christ sakes, he’s meant to be able to trust me and here I am thinking these......things about him. I’m letting him down.....
“It’s ok Peter. Really. I was being a nosy cunt, as usual. I shouldn’t have asked. It’s your business what you write about in your books, not mine.”
“Maybe I will show you them one day”
Pete’s heart jumped as he realised how that had sounded.
“What I meant to say was....well.....em.. I-” Pete looked away, embarrassed.
“It’s ok Peter” Carl gave him a reassuring smile. “I know what you meant”
In truth, Carl’s heart was beating just as fast as Pete’s was, if not faster. Had Pete meant that he loved Carl? Or did he just say what he had so Carl wouldn’t be offended. He didn’t know yet but he was going to find out......
