Eat the Roses

Hey yo everyone. Thanks for the positive feedback! On with the story!

-_-_-_-_-_-

It was about 4 hours after the attack on Fi. Carey and Fiona had made it safely back to the bus. It took about an hour for Fiona to get her lies straight about where'd she and Carey had been. And why she took off.

She and Carey had a mutual agreement not to tell their parents about what happend. It's not like they would have believed them.

But, now three hours later, Carey and Fi sat in the dark on the couch. Their parents were asleep in their respective rooms which left them alone in the middle section.

Fi was leaning against the armrest of the bus's couch and was about to fall asleep herself when she heard Carey whisper something.

"...Fi.." it was incredibly quiet.

Through the darkness she looked to him.

"Bricriu...he said, he said that he wasn't coming back."

"Oh." she looked down to the couch. Lost in her thoughts she didn't hear Carey move.

He stood up and walked to where he was right in front of Fiona. He kneeled down and reached for her.

She wasn't going to let him hug her. But, his strong arms said other wise and she gave in.

So, they both stayed there, Fi letting Carey hug her. He felt her head start to shake.

She let out a shaky sigh and pulled back from him looking to his face. Fi studied him for a while. He was so beautiful. Although, she knew he was being responsible, she just wished that he would start thinking with his heart in stead of his head.

Carey was lost in his own thoughts. He couldn't help thinking that he was tired of disappointing Fiona. He knew she didn't like the fact that he would barely even talk to her any more. And that it upset her. Which upset him.

"Carey, if I asked you do something for me, would you?"

"Course Fi. What is it?"

She sat quiet for a minute looking him straight into his eyes. She swallowed feeling like she was swallowing nails and took one deep breath.

Fi brought her hands up to Carey's face and told him, "Just don't do anything, okay?"

He nodded and suddenly felt her lips come on to his. Oh god, did she know what she did to him when she did that? He went to kiss her back but she pulled away.

He looked confused. "Carey, did you even once want to kiss me back?"

Carey nodded slightly.

"Then what's the problem? Why don't you want to be with me?"

"Fiona, I want to be with you. God, I'm dying to be with you. But, I can't be in a relationship with you. Your mom would kill me and my parents would never approve."

"But, aren't you tired of always trying to make them happy? Why can't you make yourself happy, Carey?"

He thought. She was right. She was absolut--

She kissed him again and this time he kissed her back. The kiss was becoming very passionate and Fiona felt Carey's hand under her shirt on her bare back. And she thought that he might want to go further but, he didn't move it any higher.

She smiled against his lips and leaned into him pushing him on to the ground. He fell back into the side of the bus with her landing on top, stradling him. Their lip-lock was becoming more intense but both of them made sure that they weren't going to go any further.

Carey broke their kiss and looked up to her. She looked beautiful. He lips were full and red from use and her cheeks were a nice color of pink. He saw her smile softly and he gave her one back.

"okay.." he whispered breathily.

"What?"

"I'm happy."

-_-_-_-_-_-

Wow.

Woo. How was that? Besides my lack of skill in writing romance scenes I'd say that this story came out rather well.

Okay. Thanks for reviewing everyone.

K, so, R&R and I'll bake you a chocolate cake!
