Chapter 14
There was a little bit of an awkward silence between them as the two finally drew away from each because both didn't know what to say right now. Finally Carly broke the silence because she really needed him to know how she felt: "I know I've been such a lousy friend in the past and I certainly wish that this whole Pete thing never happened but after Pete had cheated on me and I saw you together with Jen I realized one thing: I love you and I hope you feel the same way towards me."
Freddie of course had to digest this at first but then he finally replied: "Don't beat yourself up anymore for this whole Pete because it's definitely forgotten and forgiven on my part." That was the only thing he could say at first because he wasn't really sure if he wanted to be in a relationship with Carly or any other girl for that matter. Maybe it was too early for a new commitment because the wound that the break up with Jen had left was just too fresh but on the other hand: He really didn't want to hurt Carly's feelings.
Carly of course saw the imaginary wheels in Freddie's head turning and then she said: "I wanted to tell you this for quite some time but I feared that you would reject me and so I kept that to myself up until now. But if you decide that a new relationship is just too early for you right now, then I'm totally fine with the fact to be just enjoying your friendship." This even made the whole decision making not any easier for him but he had thought all the time since he and Jen and broken up about what It would be like to be together with Carly as a couple and after that great kiss they just had, he really had to admit that he loved the idea and so he said: "I have assumed for some time that you wanted to reveal your feelings for me since I had seen the way you had looked at Jen: a look that was full of jealousy because I just know you that well. I've been thinking about the two of us together as couple since I had broken up with Jen, for quite some time I couldn't come to a final decision but today I know: I want to be together with you Carly and I love you too."
Carly smiled at Freddie, kissed him on one of cheeks and as she rest her head upon his shoulder Freddie pressed the play button on the remote for the DVD Player and then they continued to watch the rest of the movie together. Later before Freddie finally left the Shay's apartment, Carly accompanied him to the door and said: "Thanks for this wonderful evening, I really enjoyed the time with you and we should do that again of course." ICarly's tech producer smiled back at her and replied: "I enjoyed every minute of the evening with you too and I'm so happy to finally have the girl of my dreams by my side, even if that maybe sounds a little cheesy." They both laughed because of that last part of the sentence, then Freddie just spontaneously kissed her on the mouth shortly but as he wanted to draw away from her the brunette intensified the kiss and the two make out again for some minutes. Even if he really didn't want to Freddie then had to end the kiss, because he really needed to get home and he really couldn't wait to let Ridgeway High School know that he and Carly where a couple now.
With a big smile on his face Freddie left the house the next day to pick his girlfriend for school the next day: Our first official day as boyfriend and girlfriend, I wonder how Sam will react to this news?* He finally knocked at the door, gladly he didn't have to wait very long because shortly as he had knocked Carly opened the door with a big smile on his face and said: "Good morning, come on in I'm almost ready for school I just need to pack some books for the day in my bag." She then kissed him on his right cheek and she disappeared upstairs again Freddie even spaced out for a minute as he looked at stunning outfit his girlfriend wore today.
The two finally left the apartment, holding hands the entire time and both of them were really happy after all the drama the two had endured in the past weeks: Both being disappointed by the person who they thought loved them no matter what. The two had promised each other that nothing would be able to tear them apart and of course had agreed, that if the other had something on his find he or she would definitely tell it the other at once because they both agreed on the fact that this relationship could only work if they both trusted each other. Sam of course was happy with herself as she saw the lovebirds finally holding hands with each other but of course she didn't want Freddie and Carly to know, that she had helped a little bit in getting them together. So in her typical Sam fashion she finally said: "You and the nub a couple, so I guess that his wildest dreams have finally come true." Carly and Freddie just laughed at that comment because that was so much typical Sam like always and later before their first class of the day they shared together the two made out in front of Sam, what made her say: "Can you do me on favor please? Don't get all lovely dovey around me."
"So how was your day with your Uncle yesterday?" Freddie asked as the two were on their way to their first class together for the day.
"It was very boring, I would rather have spent the day with you guys but sadly I didn't have the choice to say no but I hope you and Carly had a lot of fun without me." Sam replied and anxiously waited for Freddie's response. "Yes we surely had, even if we both of course missed you a lot but it was nonetheless a wonderful evening."
