The next morning, Carly could feel the warmth from the sunshine on her face as she began to wake up. When she slowly opened her eyes, she couldn't help but smile as she glanced to her left side, and saw Ted peacefully sleeping next to her. Ted finally knew how she felt, and she knew how he felt about her...and Carly liked it like that. Before she realized it, she could feel Ted's arm tighten around her waist, and felt the kisses he was placing on her bare shoulder.
"Hmmm...good morning," Carly sighed as she turned over the best she could to face her boyfriend.
"Good morning," he replied as he kissed her nose. "How did you sleep?"
Carly chuckled. "I must admit that I probably had my first good night's sleep in a long time. It probably would have been more comfortable if we moved to the bedroom or at least the couch instead of the living room floor."
Ted laughed out loud. They spent half the night making love with each other, and when they finished for the 2nd time, Ted just pulled a blanket off the couch to cover them up instead of going to the bedroom. "Next time, I'll move us. I promise," he said as he quickly kissed her. "Can I tell you something?"
"Anything baby," she said as she rubbed her hand up and down his arm.
"Last night was so AMAZING. I'm so glad you know how I feel about you. I want to wake up like this every morning," he said as he started caressing Carly's cheek. He then noticed a tear starting to roll down her cheek. "Did I say something wrong?"
Carly instantly started shaking her head no. "No...you said everything right. Last night was amazing, and I'm also glad that you know how much I love you. I'm just not used to this kind of special treatment."
"Well, get used to it baby because this is the only way your going to get treated from now on," he said as he leaned down and softly kissed Carly. "I love you."
"I love you too," she whispered as they began to kiss again. As the kisses began to get more heated, both Ted and Carly heard the doorbell ring. "Someone has horrible timing!" Carly exclaimed.
Ted chuckled as he looked out the window, and saw Randy and Cody standing on the porch with bags from a fast food restaurant, flowers and balloons. "Randy and Cody are here baby. It looks like they have food and stuff for you."
"Well, bring me to the bedroom to at least let me get dressed," Carly said as she held her arms up high, ready to be picked up. Ted did just that, and soon stopped in front of the doorway. "Just a minute. I'll be right there."
Ted then brought Carly to the bedroom. "I'll be right back," he said as he pulled on a pair of boxers, and headed toward the front door. When he opened it, and his friends saw him in nothing but boxers, they both gave each other curious glances. "Ummm...did we interrupt anything?" Randy asked with a raised eyebrow.
"No, we were in bed talking. It is kind of early."
Cody looked at his watch. "Dibiase, its 11AM."
"Well...we had a long night," Ted replied as he stepped to the side so Randy and Cody could come in. "You guys make yourselves at home. I'll go get Carly."
"We brought lunch!" Randy exclaimed as Ted walked away. When Randy and Cody walked into the living room, they could see the blanket on the floor, and something in the corner caught Randy's eye. "I think I know why they had a long night," he told Cody.
"What makes you say that?"
"There is a black bra in the corner," Randy said pointing to the object.
"Oh," Cody replied as they heard a wheelchair coming down the hallway, and both turned around. "Hey there is she!" Cody exclaimed when Carly was in view. "How are you feeling?"
"Much better now that I'm out of that hospital!" Carly giggled as the friends settled around the table for lunch. About half way through, they heard the doorbell ring again, and Carly insisted on answering it.
She wheeled herself to the door, and opened it. She was surprised no one was there. She then noticed a manilla envelope taped to the door with her name on it. She quickly took it, and hid it on her side.
"Baby, who was at the door?" Ted asked as he took a bite of his sandwich.
"No one actually. Umm...Ted do you mind opening the bedroom door for me please. I left my cell phone in your bedroom, and I'm sure my mom or dad has been trying to call already this morning."
"Sure," Ted replied as he got up and went down the hall toward the door. As he looked down and saw fear and nervousness in Carly's eyes. "Baby, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm just kind of tired," she said trying to sound believable, and looked up at him and smiled when Ted opened the door. "Thank you. I'll be right out. I promise."
Ted only nodded as he walked away. After Carly got her cell phone, she noticed she did have some missed calls-1 from her mom, 1 from her dad and the other from Mickie. She then opened the envelope and felt sick as she looked at the contents. Inside were pictures: one of her and Ted the day they got together at the hospital, one of Carly being loaded into Ted's car the day she left the hospital, one of Carly looking out the back window in Ted's car, and two others from the previous night when she and Ted made love. "Oh my God," she whispered through tears.
Carly then noticed there was a note, and of course it wasn't in real writing. It was made up of little letters cut out from magazines and such. Carly, you weren't supposed to live! You were supposed to die in that accident...just like your sister did! I guess I'm just going to have to think of another plan to get rid of you!
Carly started crying hysterically as Ted walked back into the room. "Carls, are you ok? What's the matter?"
Carly jumped at Ted's voice, and quickly tried to wipe away the tears. "Y-yeah I'm ok."
Ted shook his head. "No something is wrong. What's that?" Ted asked, pointing to the envelope.
Carly sighed, knowing she couldn't hide it anymore. "When I answered the door earlier, this envelope was taped to the door." Ted took the envelope from Carly, and felt sick and angry at the same time as he looked at the pictures. He tossed them on the bed, and headed toward the phone.
"Who are you calling?" Carly asked nervously.
"The cops. This is considered stalking," Ted said angrily.
A detective came around 20 minutes later, and took Carly's statement. "Ms. Flair, do you have any reason to believe someone would be doing this to you?"
Carly only shook her head as Ted rubbed her shoulders for comfort. "A dark car followed me and pretty well attacked me the day of my accident, and when we were on our way home the day I was released from the hospital, it looked the same dark car was following us."
"Can you describe this car?"
"It was like a black or a dark blue. I think it was a newer version of the Taurus."
"Alright," the detective said as he wrote down some notes. "We already dusted the envelope and pictures for fingerprints, and the guy used rubber gloves."
"So...we aren't any closer who did this when we first found the pictures?" Ted asked annoyed.
"Unfortuantely no. We'll have extra patrol around your house tonight...in hopes he or she will come back."
The detective soon left, and Randy and Cody also volunteered to stay the night to help keep a look out. That night, Ted pulled down all the curtains and blinds, and couldn't help but look around.
"T-Ted, do you see something?"
Ted glanced at his girlfriend, and could still see the fear in her eyes. "No, I don't see anything. I just hate it that someone was out there yesterday spying on us."
"Believe me I don't like it either."
Ted then climbed into bed, and pulled Carly into his arms. "Baby, I promise as long as I am around, no one will harm you. You will always be safe."
Carly lifted her head off Ted's shoulder, and looked him in the eye. "You promise?"
"I promise," he said as he kissed Carly's forehead, and hugged her tighter.
