1Mr. Moseby was outside listening to the conversation taking place in the suite. He was shocked hearing this from Maddie and wants to know more about her father and of whatever happened that night. He gradually slid his head into the doorway to take a peek inside, as it was slightly ajar, and saw that everyone was smiling. Maddie too, was smiling hugging Zack like an infant would hug their teddy bear. Tears stained the eyes of Zack and Maddie, and Carey's eyes were a little bloodshot. Cody was falling asleep.
He slid back out and knocked on the door. Carey called out for him to come in. He walked in with a grand smile and his arms open. The two love birds came apart and looked to see who it was, Cody was asleep already. Carey got up and walked over to Mr. Moseby.
"I'm so sorry about the power outage last night. It scared a few of our guests I'd imagine, and since you're up already at..." he looked down at his watch, "a quarter past four in the morning, it probably would've troubled you all some too. Oh, good morning Madeline, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
Maddie thought it strange for Mr. Moseby to be acting so kind, she held back on information from last night to hope Carey and the twins, or the awake one, would follow. "Carey asked me to come over, she had to confess something she didn't want the twins to hear so that's why it's so late. Zack and Cody woke up because their alarm clocks were screwed up."
Moseby nodded and said his time here was through, and he walked out the door. He heard it close from down the hallway and hurried back to entrance and waited there for the conversation to continue.
Carey walked over to Cody, and picked him up with his blankie. She was giving Zack and Maddie time together. Zack looked into her eyes, as she did to him. Their heads slowly moved together, towards one another. As their lips briefly touched, Maddie wrapped her hands instantly around Zack's head and pulled tem together. Their tongues engaged into a war that lasted seconds, replaced by a gentle struggle.
Maddie pulled back for air, and Zack leaned in to kiss Maddie on her cheek once more. She had felt so much better, as did Zack. They looked at each other, Maddie running her fingers through the boys luscious hair. A couple minutes passed and Carey peeked out and saw it was clear to come out.
"Alright, Maddie. Before you say anything else, I'm sure you'll want to think this all through. I'm going to bed because I will go crazy if anything else happens."
"Thanks a lot Carey, some time to think will be superb." Maddie smiled for her. Zack was smiling at Maddie, and Carey walked into the bedroom, where she laid in bed. Thinking of what had happened through the night.
Zack and Maddie continued to talk about ordinary things, and Maddie brought up a question Zack had always wanted to hear from her.
"Zack, we both have feelings for each other. I have always loved you more than you can imagine, I just always felt that I would ump everything that troubles me onto you if we were going out. And you're too important to loose, over troubles in my life. If you would be able to cope with that, I wouldn't mind if we became a couple."
"I will support you through anything, Maddie. You can let everything out onto me and I can have a better understanding of your life. I'm glad you've held together for me, but now I feel you want to fall apart. To let me fix things for you. I will be glad to help you."
Zack had said the magic words, somehow. And Maddie leaned in and kissed him lovingly once, on the lips. She got up and led Zack into the bedroom where Carey was. She opened the door, and Carey knew to leave. They walked in together, and laid in bed. Where they lovingly kissed and fell slowly, asleep.
Moseby was upset about this. He must know what happened inside his hotel. If it threatened their lives it surely would threaten other guests' too. Don't they realize that? He would have to interrogate Carey this morning for answers. But not now he walked casually down the hall to the elevator.
A/N: Another chapter indeed. Not what I expected, but it's an addition and an improvement. Maddie doesn't want to speak up yet until she has a solid relationship with Zack, to prepare him for the worst. And moseby want to be involved but will always be pushed out.
