*Bret & Carissa Pt. 2*



Sunday was a busy day down at the store, Carissa hated to even move, let alone get up & go to work, she couldn't even remember getting home-
She showered, dragging her ass, made a cup of coffee & lighting a smoke, she wasn't a big smoker, but at times, it helped settle her nerves. After she drank her coffee, she headed for work, calling Lynn form there,
"Lynn, how the hell did I get home ?" Lynn laughed,
"You were that wasted ? Jesus girl !!"
"Yeah, I'm paying for it, believe me !! But tell me how I got home ?"
"Bret took you home & put you to bed-" Carissa was shocked,
"WHAT ?! Why the hell did HE bring me home ?" Lynn laughed,
"He's into you babe, big time ! He said Jesse cheats on you, he's seen it-"
"He's just saying that so I'll go out with him-"
"I thought the same thing, but I think we're wrong, he seems to care, really, and you know how skeptical I am-" Rissa frowned,
"So why do you think so- ?"
"Be cause of how he was talking about you, he thought you should know he's seen jesse with other girls, ALOT ! Even if you two never went out, he wanted you to know-" Carissa kinda knew it in her heart, but wasn't anting to believe it- they hung up, and Carissa got back to work, lousey as she felt, she always made it in to work-
By the time she got to go home, she felt better, just very tired.
She took a hot relaxing bath, she put her robe on, when there was a knock at her door, she figured it was Lynn or Dea, she was surprised when she saw bret standing there, he smiled,
"Hey, I just came by to talk with a little-" she was at a loss for words, "Can I come in ?" she moved aside and let him in, he looked around, "Cool, I like how you have it lit with candles-" she finally said,
I like candles more than bright lights- I guess I should thank you for getting me home last night-" he shrugged,
"It wasn't problem, and I found out where you lived-" he smiled at that, she said,
"So, what did you want to talk about ?" he walked over & looked out the window, "I don't know, just wanted to get to know you-" she nodded,
"Do you mind if I get dressed real quick ?" he smiled,
"If you feel you need too, I don't mind the robe-" she smiled,
"I'll be right back-" she got some clothes, & went into the bathroom- she put on a pair of old levis, holes & faded, and a t shirt with Black Sabbath on it- she came back out, he smiled,
"Damn, you look awesome-" she rolled her eyes,
"Oh yeah, this is my sexiest outfit !" he tilted his head, shrugging, "Works for me-" she asked,
"Do you want something to drink ? I've got beer, Dr Pepper, juice-"
"A beer would be good-" she went over & got his beer, handing it to him, she sat on her bean bag,
"So what'd you wanna talk about ?" he sat in the chair across from her,
"You, and that boyfriend of yours-" she sighed,
"What about him ? You gonna tell me he screws around too ?"
"Yeah, he does, I've seen him with chicks, making out, you deserve better than that " she stared at him,
"Are you serious ? Or just saying this so I'll be pissed at Jesse ?" he crossed his heart,
"I swear it, me & the guys have seen him many times with other girls, I wouldn't wanna hurt you by telling you bullshit." her eyes teared up he sighed, "Damn it Carissa, don't cry, the guy isn't worth your tears-" she couldn't help it, she thought she & Jesse would be together for ever-
she hung her head, embarrassed to have him see her cry- he came over & kneeled in front of her, touching her hair, saying in a low voice,
"Don't cry babe, please_" she shook her head slowly, all the doubts she'd had were in her face, and she knew it was true- he put his arms around her, letting her cry on his shoulder, after some time, she stopped crying, wiping the tears away, she said,
"I feel so stupid-"
"Don't babe, I know it sucks, but he's one guy in a million, you could be with someone who would treat you like you should be-" she nodded,
"It's going to be so hard to break up with him, I really love him- and he'll just deny it all-"
"So tell him people have seen him with these girls-"
"He'll wanna know who saw-" he shrugged,
"So tell him, we aren't afraid of the guy-" she didn't want to cause trouble for them,
"It won't be good if he knows it was you guys, he can't stand you-" he nodded,
"I know, that's why I don't care-" he lifted her chin, looking in her eyes,
"Babe, I want you to be happy, and once you get rid of this guy, and start dating someone who will give you what you need, the better off you'll be-" his face was so close to hers, the intensity in his eyes did something to her, she leaned in & kissed him, just soft & gentle, her body felt it tho, she pulled back, staring at him,
"I shouldn't have done that-"
"Why not ? Did it feel right ?" she thought about it,
"Yeah, it did-" he leaned to her, kissing her more passionately, she wound her hands in his blonde hair, when he finally pulled away, she wanted to feel him, his touch, all of him, but she couldn't let it happen, not before she broke up with Jesse- she told him,
"Bret, we can't be doing this, I'm not broke up with Jesse yet-" he sighed, "When are you going to it ?"
"He said he would be home Tuesday, guess I'll do it then-" he nodded,
"Is it cool if I camoe over tomorrow, we could do something, you could watch us rehearse-" she smiled,
"Yeah, I'd like that- I have Mondays & Tuesdays off-" he smiled,
"Good, I'll be around about 11am, is that cool ?" she nodded,
"Sounds fine-" she walked him to the door,
"Thanks for talking with me, I only wanted to help-" she nodded,
"Thanks, Lynn has been telling me the same thing for months, only, she never saw anything, she just knew-" he nodded, leaning down & kissing her agian,
"See ya in the morning-" she smiled,
"Ok-"
She shut the dorr, pulled off her jeans and climbed into bed, falling asleep and dreaming of Bret, some HOT dreams of Bret---
She was up & ready before Bret got there- just wearing a pair of pink leggings, and a flannel shirt, buttoned just halfway down, Bret got there at 11, a friend with him, he introduced them,
"Carissa, this is my best bud, Billy, Billy, this is Carissa, my furture girlfriend-" Billy smiled, nodding his head at her,
"Hey-" she smiled,
"Hi-" they left & headed to Rikki & Brets house, the guys had things set up in the living room, everyone was there, a couple girls, I asked where Bobby was, Bret said,
"He's sick, can't make it, Billy's gonna stand in for him a couple gigs-" Carissa raised her eyebrows, Billy said sarcasticlly,
I know how to play fucking bass, don't give me that look-" Bret smiled,
"Don't mind him, he's always like that-" Billy gave Bret a look,
"Shut the fuck up Bret-" Bret just laughed, , I sat down on a couch with the other girls, watching as the guys warmed up- It was alot different watching them rehearse than on stage, they were more laid back,
& goofing around- and Billy could play the bass, but Carissa had a hard time looking at anyone but Bret, he really got to her-
