Chapter 17
The time for their first date had finally arrived, at the moment Carly was busy with making the final preparations for the dinner with Freddie and surely hoped that this evening would be a huge success. Carly was interrupted in her thoughts as it finally knocked at her apartment door and because she had to keep her intention at the pasta for now she yelled into the direction: "Come in Freddie." Freddie then finally entered the apartment, wearing a very nice looking shirt and jeans and as Carly finally turned around to face him, he was so amazed how beautiful she looked tonight and thought: I'm so lucky to have her as my girlfriend and I surely want to spend the rest of my life with her.
The two just stared at each other for quite a while, both admiring the outfits of the other one before Freddie finally said: "You look amazing….as always." That compliment made Carly blush so red like almost a tomato and as she had finally recollected herself again she replied: "Thank you Freddie and you look very…..nice too." Carly then motioned Freddie to sit down at the kitchen table; she then looked after the pasta again because she didn't want it to boil over. He didn't know yet what his girlfriend had prepared for tonight but he already knew in advance that it would surely taste very delicious because Carly has always been an exceptional cook. She took one final look at the boiling pasta on the stove, smiled at Freddie to hide her nervousness at this moment because in her opinion she really wasn't that much experienced in cooking and there always had been that great uncertainty in her that everything would be really fine in the end. Knowing Carly as long as he did, the I Carly tech producer of course always knew when something was bothering the girl of his dreams and so he finally said: "What is wrong Carls? You know that you can tell me everything and I really hate to see you so upset like that."
Carly really didn't want to admit that she worried about the fact, something going wrong with the dinner tonight so that she desperately tried to avoid the subject: "I assure you Freddie that everything is fine and thank you for your concern." Freddie now had that one special look on his face, that said: I don't believe what you're saying and you're definitely hiding something from me and so she admitted after a long pause: "Okay I give up, the truth is that I fear that I possibly could screw up our first ever date and I want tonight be special."
Freddie now softly lay her hand into his, shortly kissed her forehead and said: "I assure you that everything is going to be alright, please don't worry so much about it because I guarantee you one thing: This first date will always be memorable to the both of us, no matter what happens tonight because just spending time with you is all that matters to me." Carly softly squeezed her boyfriend's hand in return and replied:" Thanks Freddie for always knowing what to say, to cheer me up when I'm down." Later the two finally sat down to eat at the kitchen table, Freddie of course couldn't stop complimenting his girlfriend how delicious the pasta tasted, on the table now stood a candle that was the only light in the room right now to make this dinner a little more romantic. Most of the time they talked about what they could do on the next I Carly episode and Freddie of course said: "We should definitely also discuss some ideas with Sam tomorrow at the Groovy Smoothie after school."
"Of course we should definitely do that and since we are talking about school now, I wanted to ask you if you could learn with me for the big psychic's test that's on Thursday because they are some things that I don't fully understand yet."
Freddie smiled in return and replied: "Of course I would love to tutor you again Carls, I could come to your place after the AV Club on Wednesday, if that's okay for you."
"That's totally fine with me and thanks for tutoring me again, you're the best tutor ever." She replied and as he had finally finished his plate of pasta she asked: "I hope you got some space in your stomach for some for pasta de Carly because I've got a lot more of it left on the stove."
Then she looked at him with her special puppy dog eyes look at him that the tech producer just couldn't say no to and so he replied: "Of course I want more plate because I love pasta de Carly." The web hostess was of course very happy to hear that, so she prepared one more plate with pasta and tomato sauce for her boyfriend. It had been quite an odyssey for both of them till they both finally ended up with each other and she was so much relieved since she had corrected that stupid Pete mistake. She had made the promise to herself after all of this, that she would never ever trust anyone's word more than Sam's or Freddie, two of the people that she trusted the most from the beginning and never again would she make the mistake thinking otherwise of them. For the rest of the evening they fed each other the pasta, Carly now sitting in Freddie's lap and as always she enjoyed it very much to be that close to him. Before Freddie got one fork with some pasta on it into his girlfriends he joked: "Here is Starship Benson One, requesting permission to dock." She then just opened her mouth and after he had placed the pasta into her mouth, he wiped away some tomato sauce from the edge of her lips and for a moment he just got lost in her wonderful hazel eyes.
