Chapter 4

Fi smiled as she moved around her room and straightened up. Her heart has been singing for days. Carey made her happier than she ever thought possible. She was shocked when they talked and she discovered than he had loved her almost as long as she has loved him. Their families and their mutual fear of rejection had been the only thing keeping them apart. ~Well the fear of rejection flew out the window in a hurry~ Fi thought ~but the family problem isn't going anywhere~ Fi sighed. She knew that everyone would be concerned about their age difference. Carey and Fi didn't care. It wasn't an issue between them, but their parents were a different story. ~And then there's Jack~ Fi thought, ~I wish he wasn't so overprotective and that he could be happy for us but I know he would be furious with Carey and I don't want to ruin their friendship~ Fi considered as she sat down on her bead and started to pull out her laptop.

"Oh no you don't, if you open that thing I won't get to talk to you for hours" Carey said laughing as he came into her room with his guitar at his side.

"well I'll put it away then, your better than a computer any day" Fi said as she put the laptop back on her desk.

"Fi I think that's the best compliment you've ever given me" Carey stated as he sat on the bed next to Fi.

"Really?" Fi questioned as she snuggled next to Carey, "Well then I'll have to compliment you more often". Fi put her arms around Carey and leaned in to give him a kiss. She meant for it to be just a quick peck but she soon found herself wrapping her arms around Carey and being pulled into his lap. As Carey kissed her, Fi opened her mouth and Carey quickly took her invitation and before they knew it their tongues were dueling and Carey's hand was caressing Fi's stomach under her shirt. Neither of them heard the door open.

"OH MY GOD!" Clu said as he walked in and found Carey and Fi making out on her bead. "Anything you guys want to tell me?" Clu laughingly asked as Carey and Fi jumped apart and straightened their clothes. "Look man I can explain!" Carey rushed as he pulled Clu farther into the room and quickly shut and locked the door. "This should be interesting" Clu said as he sat down in the chair across from Fi and Carey.

"Ok, here goes" Carey said as he sat back down and took Fi's hand. An action that did not go unnoticed by Clu. "Fi and I have had feelings for each other for a while but neither of us thought the other felt the same way so we didn't say anything, not to mention the fact that we don't think our parents would be thrilled because of the whole age difference thing" Carey said.

"Yeah, not to mention the fact that Jack is going to kill you when he finds out. How long were you planning on keeping . . . this. . thing a secret?" Clu asked.

"We're just waiting for the right time, really. This isn't just a fling Clu; I'm in love with Fi. We both hid it for so long but when Fi came back everything sort if came rushing out. I'm sure you've noticed that all my songs have had a certain theme in them. I wrote them because it was the only way I could express myself" Carey said as he looked pleadingly at Clu.

"Please don't say anything yet Clu, well tell them soon I promise but we have to do this our own way" Fi said.

"Ok, Ok I wont say anything. I mean now that I think about it I cant believe I didn't see it. Now that I know it seems so obvious that Carey's songs were about you. I feel dumb that I didn't notice." Clu stated.

"Don't feel bad Clu, I had no idea either" Fi laughed. "That reminds me, you still haven't played me that song you came over to show me yet" Fi said as she looked at Carey.

"You want to hear it now?" Carey asked as he picked up his guitar. "Clu you can hear it too if you want" Carey said as he tuned up his guitar.

"Sure I'd love too, I'm assuming this one is about Fi too?" Clu guessed.

"They all are" Carey stated matter-of-factly while gazing at Fi.

"Ok, Ok play already I can only take so much lovey-dovey stuff at a time from you two" Clu rushed.

"Ok, here goes" Carey said, and then he began to play . . .

So you're scared to show your feelings

Baby I do understand

Well I don't make a promise I can't keep

And I vow to be a real good friend

In those big green eyes I see a glow of love

I just hope I'm the one you're dreaming of

Let me be the one to love you

Let me be the one to care

Let me be the one to light your flame

Oh baby Oh baby

Let me be the one

We spend all our time together

We can't stand to sleep alone

When you say you have to leave for now

I miss you before you're gone

All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)

Every moment we spend goes by too fast

Darling Darling take this chance with me

Cause I have eyes only for you

Oh baby

Let me be the one to love you

Let me be the one to care

Let me be the one to light your flame

Oh baby Oh baby

Let me be the one

Let me be the one to love you

Let me be the one to care

Let me be the one to light your flame

Oh baby Oh baby

Let me be the one

For you

Don't be scared to show your feelings

Cause baby I do understand

And I don't make promises that I can't keep

And I vow to be a real good man

"That was amazing" Fi gushed as Carey finished. She reached over and gave him a kiss, not caring that Clu was in the room.

"Wow, bro that was great. You two really are in love aren't you?" Clu asked seriously.

"Yeah, we are" Carey and Fi both said at once.

"Well I can't say how everyone else will react but I for one am happy for you" Clu said as he got up.

"Thanks that means a lot" Carey said seriously.

"Well, I'm going to go downstairs before the happiness in here chokes me" Clu said before he walked out the door and closed it behind him.
