Sorry for the long update… even though it actually hasn't been that long. Usually during the week I am busy so just for future reference most of my updates will be on the weekends.

Freddie's POV
God she is so beautiful. I watched as she opened the door and I followed her in. I told myself it was to get the chocolates but I couldn't convince myself that. The real reason I was there was because I didn't want to leave Carly. Get a grip on yourself; you'll never have a chance. Carly being so close had definitely messed up my mind… and possibly my self control.
"I have to use the bathroom." I blurted out into the silence. I need to be away from her to clear my head and get a grip on myself.
"'Kay. Do you want anything to drink?"
"Sure." The words were barely out of my mouth before I made a mad dash to the bathroom.
One I was in there I splashed cold water on my face, shook my head a little, and then dried it off. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Okay Freddie. You know the rules, you know the boundaries. Just repeat it over and over; you only like her as a friend, you only like her as a friend." I repeated this a couple more times and felt better.
Walking out I saw Carly sipping on a glass of iced tea her curly black hair was now pulled into a high ponytail.
"What are your plans for today?"
"Uh, nothing much, why?" She shrugged.
"Want to watch a movie?"
I almost said no, I wasn't sure if I could handle sitting next to her on the couch in the dark, not after what happened earlier. I almost said no, instead I said, "Sure."
Carly's POV
Yay! HE said yes. I decided to be nice and let him pick the movie; Sam and I always make him sit through chick flicks.
"While you look for a movie, want me to make popcorn?" he smiled and I almost melted into a Carly puddle.
"Sure." Oh if he only knew how his smile made me feel. I walked into the kitchen and immediately started searching the cupboards for the popcorn. I remembered Spencer had put it on a high shelf forgetting I'm not as tall as him. Sighing I climbed onto the counter. I was reaching for the box when Freddie said (in his mesmerizing voice) that he had picked a movie his voice came out of nowhere and scared me to death causing me to topple over.
"Carly!" Freddie yelled as I fell on top of him. I opened my eyes to find myself looking into his brown ones. (A/N: I'm really sorry about this. This information about his eyes may be wrong. I am not 100% positive his eyes are brown and I'm really sorry if it's wrong. Feel free to correct me.)
"You okay?" he whispered. I nodded.
"You?" I whispered back. My heart was pounding, and not from the fall.
"Yeah." I didn't say anything else and neither did he. I started to lean down coming closer and then I stopped. It would be pointless to kiss him if he didn't love me back. I almost kissed him, but I didn't. Slowly I stood up and helped him up.
"Sorry for scaring you." He said, still whispering.
Freddie's POV
"We're even… I did fall on you." Why didn't I just kiss her? She was so close, leaning towards me!
"So, movie?"
"Yeah. Sure." I agreed. We left the popcorn where it had fallen.
I put in The Ring 2. Carly never told me but she doesn't like scary movies, she doesn't like to tell what she's scared of but I had found out accidentally from Spencer. And I admit I was setting myself up for disappointment, but I was kind of hoping that she would get scared and hold onto me.
Twenty minutes into the movie she clutched the upper part of my arm and hid her face into my shoulder. I was in heaven.
"I don't really like scary movies." She admitted her voice muffled by my shoulders. She sounded so adorable.
"Do you want me to turn it off?" it's sick, but I wanted her to say no. I prayed she would say no. my prayer was answered.
There was fifteen minutes left into the movie and I looked at Carly. She was sleeping on my shoulder.
Just as the movie ended Sam burst through the door and I stifled a scream. You just don't do that when someone has been watching a scary movie.
"Freddie! Get out here now!" I looked at Carly; I don't want to wake her up.
"But…"
"Now!" she took a step into the room.
"Okay, okay." I gently laid Carly down on the couch and went into the hallway separating our two homes. Sam was pacing back and forth.
"What?"
"IgaveCarlychocolate." She said running her words together.
"What?" I repeated but this time confused, not curios.
"I. gave. Carly. A. Chocolate."
"Okay?" then it hit me. The chocolates I made for Gibby… "Oh."
