No Open Seats (Kala and Carson)

[Jill Irasen]

Jill and Kala entered the mall food court and realized it was packed. There was no one on line, but every seat in re room was taken. Jill and Kala ordered their lunch, but didn't know where to sit. Carson found the last empty table and sat there. That was the only place they could sit. Reluctantly, they walked over to him and sat down.

"We're not gonna talk to you, we just need a place to sit," Jill told Carson.

[Carson Starfold]

Carson smiled when he saw Kala walk in.

He heard Jill's remark. He didn't look at her. He ignored her and looked at Kala.

"Just being around Kala is enough for me," he said.

[Kala Thomas]

Kala stared at her lap, obviously trying to hide her blushing cheeks. She felt weird around Carson. Still, she was trying to ignore him, since what he did to Jill was completely wrong.

[Jill Irasen]

"I'm sorry Kala, it's really uncomftorable for me to be around Carson, it brings back bad memories. You two have fun," Jill told them. Jill ran away crying.

[Kala Thomas]

"Jill!" Kala gasped. Without looking up at Carson, she got up out of her seat. Then, she watched Jill run away. Running a finger through her hair, she began to walk in the direction Jill was going.

[Jill Irasen]

Hill had to put on a happy face. Maybe Carson is serious, and Kala really likes him, she can sense it. Kala walked up to Jill.

"You really like Carson, don't you," Jill said.

[Kala Thomas]

Kala looked at the ground. "I don't know," she muttered. It was true. She didn't want to get hurt like Jill did, but Carson seemed to have changed.
"I just don't wanna get hurt." Kala was so confused. She didn't know what she would do.

[Jill Irasen]

Jill looked at her. "Yes, he did hurt me. I don't know if he changed. I want to believe it, fir you. I mean, I saw the way you two looked at each other, but that's also how he looked at me. Ugh, I don't know what to tell you. All I can tell you is follow your heart. Your heartnis smarter than my experience," Jill told Kala. That was the best advice she could give her.

[Kala Thomas]

"Okay, thanks Jill." Kala smiled at her new friend. Then she looked back at Carson. She told herself not to get involved with him, but her heart told something else. The brunette silently cursed herself before looking back up at Jill.

[Jill Irasen]

Kala looked back at Jill. Jill just smiled at her and touched her heart. Then Jill pretended to talk on the phone and she walked over to Kala and Carson. She was not gonna be a third wheel.

"Okay, I'm gonna go hang out with Barry. You two have fun. Bye."

Jill walked up to Kala and whispered "Tell me all the details," and Jill walked out.

[Kala Thomas]

Kala let out a gasp before watching Jill leave. Kala knew she did that on purpose, though she didn't mind. Which left her with Carson. The brunette gave him a little wave before confidently walking to him.

[Carson Starfold]

"Kala, I just want to be clear. I like you. I am not trying to play you, because for the first time, I can feel that we could really have something amazing," he said.

"For the first time in my life I want to have an honest relationship with someone," he explained.

Carson looked into her eyes and got lost.

[Kala Thomas]

Kala stared at him. Her eyes met his, and she felt like she wanted to run away. Scratch that, she felt like she wanted to stay there forever.

"I..." She stammered. For once, she didn't know what to say.

[Carson Starfold]

"I'm new to being a good guy..." he said.

"So I'm going to ask..." he continued, "May I kiss you?"

[Kala Thomas]

"I... guess?" Kala shrugged. She wanted to kiss him. A lot.
