Carly woke up the next morning, and was in a very happy mood because she had spent a wonderful day with Freddie yesterday. They had bonded above friendship this evening, and today she would tell him what she really felt for him, even it would be a difficult task to fulfill. She went to the stairs and was immediately greeted by her older brother Spencer: "Hey kiddo what are you smiling about?" Carly hated the fact that she was like an open book for her brother a little bit but then she said after some hesitation: "It's just that yesterday was a great day, because I've had the chance to spend it alone with Freddie and I really enjoyed it!" Spencer smiled a little about Carlys comment; he knew that eventually Freddie and his little sister would get together one day and it seemed liked that day had finally arrived. While making herself some breakfast Carly asked her brother: "Spencer, can you do me a little favor?" What hesitating, because he knew what was Carly about to ask him he said: "Sure thing kiddo anything you want."

"Great! Would you please leave me and Freddie alone in the apartment for this evening?" *I knew it! My little sis is definitely going to tell Freddie how she really feels about him this evening.* Spencer thought after Carly had finished her sentence and then casually replied: "Sure, but don't do anything stupid because I could come back any minute and enter like a ninja!" He said and gestured wildly with hands like he was holding a real ninja sword. Carly giggled a little and then jokingly said: "Yes sir understood sir!" She then continued to make herself breakfast and was already looking forward to spend to another wonderful day with her best friend Freddie. Later Carly got herself some fresh clothes out of her closet, which weren't so easy to pick for her, she didn't exactly know why but she wanted to look extra nice for Freddie today. They both planned to go together to the cinema and after that Carly had planned to take him back to her apartment, to surprise him with a romantic dinner and a confession.

Carly really hoped that the dinner with Freddie would be good, and she really hoped that she would find the right words to say at this evening. After she was finally ready to go, she sat down in her beanbag at the ICarly Studio, where she soon would be doing another episode of their famous web show. She then switched on her laptop and surfed a little in the I-Net and counted down the hours to her meeting with Freddie in a couple of hours.

Later Freddie knocked on the door of the Shay's Apartment and waited for an answer on the other side of the door. "I'll get it!" Carly yelled and got downstairs to open the door for Freddie. She got to the door and opened it: "Hi, Freddie what's up?"

"Hey Carls not much is up, you're ready to go?"

"Yes, let's go! Spencer, I'm out to the cinema with Freddie now"

"Have fun kids!" Spencer yelled from upstairs and then Carly and Freddie both left the Shay's apartment. Finally they reached the cinema with the local bus, got inside of the building and then searched for a cool film they both liked. They both then decided on "Meet the Parents", a comedy movie with Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller, after they got their tickets they went to the room, where the movie was shown. On the way to that they got themselves some snacks and something to drink and then finally went inside cinema 4 to watch the movie. After some minutes of waiting, the lights where dimmed a little bit and a couple of previews were shown. Carly spontaneously squeezed Freddie's hand softly, which was lying on the armrest of his seat and then also laid her hand on the armrest of her seat directly next to Freddie. Freddie was wondering for a moment why Carly had just squeezed his hand a little but decided to give it no more thought and then concentrated again on the previews for the upcoming movies. Carly enjoyed flirting a little bit with Freddie and was really sure, that by the end of this evening he would know what all the gestures of affection from her meant. Finally the previews were over and the actual film started and during the entire film Carly secretly flirted with Freddie a lot while still watching the movie and laughed along with Freddie at the funny parts. An hour later the movie was finally over and all the visitors of cinema 4 cleared the room while the credits were rolling with some cool music playing in the background. After driving with the local bus a couple of minutes, Carly and Freddie finally arrived back home. Carly then hurried back in her apartment after she had said to Freddie, that she had a big surprise for him and made the final preparations for the romantic dinner with her future boyfriend. *Not when everything goes down the drain tonight* Carly thought to herself while preparing the spaghettis and setting up the candles from her room all over the kitchen and the living room. She then lighted all the candles up, switched out the lights in the living room and the kitchen and then opened the door for Freddie who had stood outside all the time, patiently waiting for Carly to invite him to come inside. As Freddie saw all the candles and the beautiful decorated table in the middle of the living room he said: "Carly Shay I'M really astounded, that's the best thing I've ever been surprised with and it all looks so beautiful."

Carly blushed and shyly looked to the floor and then said: Thx Freddie I'm really glad you like it." She then composed herself again, and went to the kitchen area to look after her spaghetti. Freddie knew something big was about to happen this evening, he didn't want to get his hopes up too much, but the possibility was there that he and Carly could get together this evening. Later the spaghettis where ready to eat, Carly and Freddie had talked about the whole day in the meantime and had both the opinion that the day had been wonderful and that they should do that again. After a couple of minutes of silence, Carly finally had decided that now was the right time, to tell Freddie her secret. But it didn't go as good as she had it imagined in her head: "Can I tell you something Freddie; I really need to get this off my chest now."

Freddie stopped eating, lay down his fork and said after his mouth was empty: "Yeah sure go ahead Carls I'm listening to you." * Ok c'mon Carly you can do this* Carly encouraged herself but she began to stutter: "I…I...I" Then she composed herself again and finally said it: "Freddie I Love you" Then she got up from her chair, Freddie also did and then as they were both standing there, their faces only a few inches apart from each other Carly leaned in and slowly kissed Freddie on the lips. First he was shocked by what was happening but then he was kissing Carly back with all the passion he had in his heart right now.

Finally they pulled apart from each other and then Freddie said: "I Love you too Carly." Then Freddie gave her a little kiss on her right cheek, and so they got back to the table and ate their cold spaghetti but that didn't matter very much to them now.
