Freddie came to the airport and went to the waiting lounge, in hopes that the woman he will be working with will arrive soon. Few minutes later, Carly arrived in the airport. Freddie was looking at the area then he saw someone that looks familiar to him. So he left the chair and walked towards the person, Could it be?
Freddie tapped her on the shoulder and he looks amazed on what he saw, it was Carly Shay.
"Carly?" Looking amazed.
"Freddie, it's a coincidence you're here" she replied smiling.
"What are you doing here?" Freddie asked.
"Well I was going to ask you the same thing" Carly said asking curiously.
Freddie's boss is calling him.
"Um wait sorry, I got to take this"
Carly just nodded.
"Benson, I know the name now. Her name is Carly Shay; she will be the one who will write our article. You will also escort her this Friday for the release of the software"
Freddie was shocked "Ok sir"
"Ok good luck Benson"
Freddie ended the conversation and he was about to tell her the news.
"Is there something wrong Freddie?" she asked.
"Well you're the-"Freddie was interrupted because Carly's phone began to ring.
"Hold that thought" she said.
"Hello?"
"Carly, the man who will be showing you everything, his name is Freddie Benson and he is in charge for the software release. He will be escorting you to the party on Friday."
While Carly and her boss are talking on the phone, she looked to Freddie amazed. "Yes mam"
"Good luck Shay, I'm depending on you"
"Yes Mam"
Carly ended the conversation.
"Well you were about to tell me what I'm about to tell you now"
"Yeah but at least we know each other" Freddie said smiling.
"Totally" she replied smiling.
"Um what hotel are you staying at?" he asked.
"Well I'm booked in big apple hotel"
"Do you want to escort you there" Freddie offered her.
Carly was a little bit shy but accepted his offer, "Sure, if it's okay with you?"
"I'm asking you" Freddie smiled.
"Well okay then and thanks" she replied.
"No prob, we have a lot to talk about"
So Carly and Freddie walked together to the check out. Freddie led Carly to the limo and Freddie told the driver where to go first. Freddie started asking.
"So how are you after all this years?"
"Fine, working in London and have my own house"
"How about your dad and Spencer, how are they?"
"Well Spencer lives with dad and he is still working on sculptures, while dad is well as usual in the air force. How about you?"
"Fine and I live in San Francisco"
"How is Sam and Gibby?"
"Well they're married and they live few blocks away from me'
Carly was shocked and happy at the same time "Well I'm so happy for her, how about your mom?"
"Well she's in vacation in Miami"
Carly was shocked because her boyfriend was there "Really? Because my boyfriend is in a business trip in Miami"
Freddie was shocked "What's his name?"
"His name is James, he's a business man. How about you? Any girl in your life?"
"Well there is one and I'm engaged to her. I just proposed to her few days ago"
Carly was excited and she wants to know the name. "Really? Who is she? What's her name?
"You won't like it"
"Come on any girl who is engaged to my best friend is welcome, so what's her name?"
"Missy Robinson"
Carly was silent for a while "But she did almost-"
"I know, I know but she's changed and she apologized to Sam and Gibby"
"Good and Congratulations"
They arrived at the hotel and Carly was about to take her luggage from the back of the trunk but Freddie got to it first.
"Thanks Freddie" Carly was smiling.
"Don't thank me yet, come on let's check you in"
Carly was being so shy after Freddie escorted her in the hotel "No I can do it on my own-"Freddie interrupted "Come on Carly you're my best friend and I just want you to check in properly"
"Why, is there a ghost waiting to haunt me?" Carly asked sarcastically.
"Maybe" Freddie replied sarcastically.
Freddie and Carly entered the hotel and went to the front desk so Carly can check in.
"Hi, Um I'm Carly Shay and I just booked a room in this hotel"
"Yes Ms. Shay well um the reservation was until yesterday and the hotel is kinda fully booked this week"
Carly was a little bit disappointed and Freddie was angry, so the two of them walked out of the hotel.
"Well that was inconvenient" Carly said, feeling down.
Freddie just had a brilliant idea.
"Well you can stay at my apartment?"
"Wait…when did you have an apartment here?"
"Well I frequently go here so I just bought an apartment, so do you want to?"
Carly feeling a little bit shy "Um…Freddie you have done so much for me and you're engaged"
"Don't worry about it; I'm sure Missy will understand"
"But Freddie-"
"Carly Shay you put your butt on the limo or you will just work on the streets because all of the hotels in New York are fully booked"
Carly thought quickly and she decided to do as he said.
"Don't worry I have an extra room on my apartment" he reassured her.
Carly and Freddie went straight to the apartment. Freddie led her to his apartment and Carly was amazed as she walked in.
"Wow the apartment looks nice" Carly complimenting it.
"Well yeah it's a two bedroom and it has a great view" Freddie added.
"Yeah remember the last time when you decided to move out to your mom's place" Carly reminiscing.
"Well this is much better right?"
"Totally"
"So your bedroom is over 1st room on the left which is the guest room and across the hall is my room and the room beside your room is the bathroom. If you need help I will be in my room, you know getting settled"
"This so much Freddie, thank you"
"No problem Carls, I help my friends whenever they needed my help"
Freddie and Carly went straight into their rooms getting settled. Few hours later, Freddie was going to ask carly to dinner.
"Knock knock" Freddie said aloud.
"Come in" she replied.
Freddie came in and noticed that she is already beginning working.
"I see your working already" Freddie said
"Yeah and I was thinking to order pizza because I'm starving"
"Yeah, I just ordered Chinese noodles, if that's okay with you?"
"Sure, noodles sound fine"
The delivery man appeared a couple of minutes later and they ate dinner quietly in the dining hall.
"Thanks again for the food, I promise to pay you back" Carly said.
"No, you don't have too" Freddie said smirking at her.
"Well it's getting late and both of us have work to do, so goodnight Freddie" Carly said softly.
"Goodnight Carly" he replied
the two of them went to their bedrooms. Neither of them could sleep easily because they can't believe that the two of them will be able to see each other again.
