Happy Turkey Day!!😊🍗

Now for a recap !

*tape rewinds*

👑PREVIOUSLY ON PINK PRINCESS👑

Meet your heroine Aubrey Powers. She spunky, smart, and most importantly obsessed with the color pink. She has her three best girlfriends Ivy, Chanel, and Nikole and her two best guy friends Trevor and Ryan.

Then WAM! Carter King comes in like a wrecking ball.  He's cocky and a total smartasś but he's also unbelievably hot. Oh and did I tell you he's British?

Carter and Aubrey are like oil and water. They don't mix at all. But along their mis-adventures Aubrey starts to question if she likes him or not.

When we last saw our heroine and her friends, Ivy was pissed at them because Chanel had been dating Trevor behind their backs and hadn't told her. The girls secretly concocted a plan to win their friend back. They set her up on a blind date with a rich hottie and even posed as restaurant workers! All was forgiven 💗

And now...

19 || Just admit it

On Sunday Carter's mom wants me to babysit the twins. So I put on Sheila's leash and head over. Carter answers the door.

"Goodmorning!" I chirp.

"You," he says tiredly. "What're you doing here?"

"Your mom called me."

"And why would she do that?"

"To babysit. Now are you gonna let me in?"

He examines me with hooded eyes and I raise a brow at him. Finally he opens the door wide enough for me to enter.

"AUBREY!" The twins shriek tackling me. They pepper kisses all over my face. Sheila barks and jumps on the girls licking them.

"I missed you guys too," I say laughing. Carter is standing by the door half asleep.

"Did you just wake up?" I stand.

"Yeah, I haven't had time to put my face on yet," he yawns.

I don't tell him that he doesn't need to put on any face because sleepy Carter is just as sexy as awake Carter. And apparently he sleeps shirtless.

"Where's you mom?"

"She got called into work. Apparently something important came up."

"Why does she call me to babysit when you're home?"

"Even though she doesn't say it she doesn't trust me." Am I imagining things or is there a hint of bitterness in his voice?

"We have the whole day planned out!" Sophia says excitedly. "First we'll go to the park!"

"Then the beach!" Olivia pipes up.

"Then we'll get ice cream!"

"And watch the sunset, so we can draw it for class!"

"Sounds like fun," I smile.

"Sounds like a nightmare," Carter groans. He folds his arms and looks at his sisters as they chat excitedly about the day. "I love my sisters, but by the end of the day you'll be lucky to have not pulled your hair out.."

I scoff. "It can't be bad."

🌞🌞🌞

It is that bad.

So at the park Sophia wanted to try hanging upside down off the monkey bars. I of course immediately tried to stop this except while I was trying to ween her off that idea Olivia had climbed on top of the large slide and couldn't get down. She started shrieking and crying and Carter left to go deal with that mess. With no one watching Sheila she started running around wildly and chasing kids. She honestly meant no harm but we still received nasty looks from parents.

It took us an hour to round everyone up and when we finally did I was already done with the day. Sophia insisted Carter give her a piggyback ride to the beach. She would smack him upside the head and yell, "Faster horsey!"

I tried my hardest not to laugh but I couldn't help it. Carter shot me a glare and flipped me off.

We made sure they stayed by the shore and didn't venture to deep into the water. Here Sheila was free to run around and the girls skipped around splashing each other.

"How do you do it?" I ask him.

"Do what?"

"Deal with them twenty four seven!"

"I told you," he said smugly. "They're a handful."

"No kidding."

We sit and watch them play. I start to grow bored so I pick up a handful of sand and dump it in Carter's hair.

"Really?" He shakes his head.

I shrug. "I was bored."

He gives me a look. "You're lucky your cute."

For some strange reason my heart flutters.

"The beach is boring!" Olivia stomps over to us kicking up a sandstorm. "I want ice cream now!"

"Ice cream, ice cream!" Sophia chants.

I let Olivia walk Sheila by her leash but really, it's more like Sheila is walking Olivia. Sophia's tiny hand finds mine and despite her previous behavior my heart melts. She's too darn adorable.

"Aubrey?"

"Yeah?" I look down at her.

"Do you like my brother?"

I choke and immediately look up. Carter and Olivia are ahead of us so thankfully he didn't hear that.

"Carter is a very nice person," I manage to get out.

"Yes but do you like, like him?" She stresses.

"I-"

"Pick up the pace!" Carter yells. Sophia runs to catch up with them while my heart pounds erratically. I feel like I might have a heart attack.

Of course I don't like like him. That would be ludicrous! I definitely harbor no feelings for Carter King.

At all.

I'm quiet as I lick my ice cream and Carter notices.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing."

"You're quiet."

I raise a brow. "So?"

"You're never quiet."

Annoyance flares through me and I ignore him. The girls do most of the talking and I catch Olivia before she feeds Sheila a spoon of chocolate ice cream. Then I have to explain to her in great detail why you should never feed a dog chocolate. Afterwards she cries about almost killing Sheila.

As we walked back to the beach I started making a mental list of all the reasons I couldn't like Carter.

One: he bumped into me at the beach and still hasn't apologized

Two: he got ice cream on one of my favorite pink shirts

Three: he stole my first kiss

Four: he admitted to messing with me and said he would make it his life's mission to fück with me

Five: he broke our DDR bet and didn't tell me why he was expelled

Six: he's called me stuck up and
pretentious numerous times

Seven: he threw me in a lake while we were camping then caused me to fall into a ditch

That was enough to not like someone, right?

But what about some of the good things he's done, my brain asked me.

Oh yeah like what? I scoffed.

Well he did help you win against Megan and her boyfriend at the bonfire party. He stood up against Britney when she crossed your name off the DDR list. He was actually understanding about your fear of zip lining. He spent thirty dollars just so you wouldn't have to kiss Jason Dunce. He pulled you out of the ditch when you fell in. He went with you as Ken to the Halloween party and even picked you up. Plus what about that time you two made out in the kissing booth? I know you felt something then.

Shut-up brain.

I hadn't even realized we had reached the beach until Sheila ran up to me and started pawing on my legs. I bent down to pet her absentmindedly.

The sun was starting to set and Carter handed the twins paper and crayons along with two small whiteboards so they had something hard to draw on.

"Come sit with us Aubrey!" Olivia called out to me.

I purposely sat away from Carter and focused on the sunset. It draped the sky in pretty hues of pink, purple, orange, and red.  The ocean waves lapped against the shore and the smell of salt drifted past my nose.

"It's pretty," I whispered to myself.

"Look at our drawings!" Sophia shoved hers under my nose.

"They're very good," I praised hers. "Yours will be the best drawing in the whole class!"

"What about mine?" Olivia pouted.

"Both of you," I reassured her. She beamed.

I turned to ask Carter what he thought about their drawings but he was passed out on the sand. His chest rose and fell softly and his eyelashes fanned across his cheeks. He looked so peaceful and innocent. His lips were parted slightly and he let out a tiny snore.

I touched my chest.

Be still my heart.

🙈💗🙈

"Aubrey."

"Go away," my voice is muffled by my pillow. Ivy yanks my comforter off.

"Aubrey you know today is a school day right?"

"Tell my mom I'm sick," I curl up.

I feel the bed dip from Ivy's weight. "Aubrey we've been friends for over five years. Whenever you have a problem in your life you hide. So, what is it now?"

I groan. "It's Carter."

"What now?" She asks exasperated.

"The worst thing that could've possibly happened, happened."

"Which is?"

"I have feelings for him!" Once the words were out there was no taking them back. Saying it out loud made me realize how true it really was.

I had feelings for Carter King.

"I knew it!" She jumps up.

I cover my face with my hands. "I'm going to kill myself."

"Don't be so dramatic!" She rolls her eyes. "Now the next step is to tell him!"

I laugh. "Ivy if you were trying to make a joke it wasn't very funny. There's no way I'm ever telling Carter I like him. Ever."

"But-"

"Ivy," I cut her off. "It's not up for discussion."

"But how can you hide how you feel?"

"Easy. You pretend not to feel anything. I'm a great pretender."

"But what if he feels the same way?" She asks.

"What if he doesn't?" I counter.

The worst thing would be if I confessed my feelings to him and he rejected me. I would never recover from that kind of humiliation. It was in my best interest to keep these newly discovered feelings to myself.

I swung my legs over the side of my bed and stood up. "Well that ends that discussion."

"Aubrey..." Ivy gives me a long look.

"I need you to respect my decision Ivy. Ok?"

"Fine," she sighs.

I smile at her. "Thank you."

Hiya!

Hi ya!

Ok I'm done.

If you still need a recap or have a question just shoot me a PM and I'll get back to you ASAP.

QOTD: should Aubrey tell Carter how she feels or keep it to herself?

Everytime I tell a guy I like him it never ends well so I'm with Aubrey on this one.

Make sure you vote and comment!

Stay pink🎀
