"That'll work" agreed Jay.
"I don't think so" started Amy. "Last time I ended up with a busted arm"
"Huh?" asked Jay.
"When you and Calvin left her to fall over" reminded Felix casually.
"Oh" muttered Jay. "Yeah, sorry about that."
"Amy, they were too busy worrying about Natalie, if you haven't noticed she isn't even anywhere near here. Besides, I'm more worried about your ankle then I am her ego! It's big enough!" he added causing Amy to chuckle despite herself. She looked into his eyes and saw he was being honest.
"Ok" she breathed after a while.
"Good. I'll help you get on his back" smiled Jay.
"Back?" asked Felix. "I meant I was going to carry her properly"
"What!" said Amy, slightly more worried.
"If you've hurt your leg, then you don't want to be using it to hold onto me. Besides, if I slip, which way am I going to fall? I either fall on top of you or land on your injured foot" he replied simply. To be honest, the real reason was simply because he wanted to hold her in his arms.
"Makes sense" agreed Jay. Felix looked to Amy and saw the alarm in her eyes. He knelt next to her, looked deep into her eyes and whispered;
"Trust Me". Still gazing into his eyes she thought about it. 'Can I trust you?' she asked herself. She smiled as she remembered the time they worked together to produce that song. 'Worked together?' she thought. 'Yeah right. I wouldn't let him because I was scared, but I should have done.' She concentrated on his eyes before giving in and whispering back.
"I trust you" He smiled at her and lifted her up. She flung her arms around his neck and hung on. Felix turned towards Jay, trying to keep the massive grin off of his face.
"Don't forget, if I start slipping…push me onto my back." He replied. "I don't want Amy to get more hurt then she already is". Jay just nodded and started descending the rock.
Felix followed close behind. He tried to concentrate on the path, but his mind kept wandering to the fiery American beauty he held in his arms. He couldn't believe she actually trusted him enough.
Amy had her eyes closed; she hated the fact that she didn't have any control over what happened to them. It was all up to Felix. However much she despised herself for thinking it, she couldn't help but be pleased that it was Felix who carried her. She even realised that a part of her was enjoying just being in his strong, protective arms, even though she was still terrified.
After what seemed like an eternity for Amy, they finally reached the bottom. Jay went to explain to Ollie what had happened as Felix stopped. He looked down at the trembling form of Amy who had wrapped herself around him. He smiled before lowering his head to her ear.
"It's alright" he soothed. "We made it". Cautiously, Amy brought her head up and looked around. They were indeed standing at the bottom of the rock. She looked back up at Felix and smiled, but before she could say anything Ollie and Jay came rushing over.
"You ok Amy?" asked Ollie kindly.
"Yeah" she smiled. "Just hurt my leg" she smiled up at Felix.
"Felix, you going to be alright carrying Amy back?" asked Ollie.
"I'll be fine" smiled Felix. "She isn't that heavy" he baited her.
"What do you mean that heavy?" she shrieked. Felix grinned as Jay interrupted.
"Ollie and I are going to go find the others. You'll be alright, won't you?"
"We'll be just fine" smirked Felix.
"Yeah, as long as they don't kill each other in the process!" grinned Ollie.
"I'd like to see him try" smirked Amy.
"If anybody gets killed it'll be Felix!" laughed Jay.
"Ah, but what a way to die" winked Felix as Amy blushed. Ollie and Jay just laughed; it was funny watching the two wind each other up. "See ya" called Felix as he carried Amy off. Jay looked at Ollie.
"Am I missing something?" he asked.
"Don't feel bad. Even they haven't figured it out yet" smiled Ollie.
"How long do you reckon it'll take?"
"Shouldn't be long now. I mean, they've been flirting ever since we first arrived. They'll be together by the end of term, believe me" he beamed as they turned and headed back towards the others.
