Chapter 3:
She walks across the parking lot towards the courtyard. He's waiting for her, a smile on his face and arms wide open. Carly starts a sprint and flies into his arms. Freddie picks her up and spins her around, making her laugh. He puts her down and kisses her softly. She moans into his mouth and giggles.
"I missed you." he tells her in her ear, kissing her again.
"I missed you, too." Carly chokes out, smiling.
Freddie brushes his thumb over her cheek, feeling a dry trail of tears. She can see Freddie frown. "You haven't been crying, have you?"
Freddie knows her so well, she knows there's no point in lying. "A little."
"Oh, baby," Freddie says soothingly, pulling her close to him. "Everything will be okay. They can't keep us apart forever."
"But, Freddie, they stopped us once. How do we know that they won't stop us again? I mean-"
Freddie silences her with a gentle kiss. "Promise me you won't worry about us."
Their eyes lock and Carly nods slowly.
"Okay, I promise." she says.
"Good." Freddie smiles. "So, what does my kitten want to do?"
"Well I don't know what she wants to do, but I know what I want to do." Carly smirks, a playful edge in her voice.
She tugs teasingly at the colar of his shirt and he laughs. Their lips meet in a heated embrace and Carly begins to unbutton Freddie's shirt when he pulls away.
"We're not actually going to do it here, are we?" he asks, though he doesn't sound worried.
"Hmm...it depends." Carly responds.
"On?"
"How much of a daredevil you are right now."
Freddie rolls his eyes and laughs. "Carly, baby, we can't do it now. It's late, we're outside, and it's not private."
Carly's face falls in a fraudulant pout. "Fine."
"Is there anything else you wanna do?" Freddie asks.
Carly thinks for a minute and nods. "Actually, yes." She takes Freddie's hand and leads him back towards the building.
...
Carly opens the door to the roof of the plaza and they walk out towards the middle. Freddie lingers, gazing around at the sky. When his eyes finally reach Carly again, she's motioning for him to follow. He joins her, taking her hand. He and Carly sit, then lay back on the hard concrete. Carly curls up against his side and sighs.
"What are we doing up here?" Freddie says as he plays with her hair.
"Dad used to bring me up here when I was younger." Carly explains. "We would point out the constellations and make up our own as we went along.
"When dad went into the airforce, Spencer would bring me up here and we'd do the same thing."
She sighs and looks Freddie straight in the eyes. "I'm scared, Freddie."
"Of what?" Freddie asks.
Carly shrugs and looks back up at the star-powdered sky. "Everything." Her finger traces invisible patterns on his shirt. "I can't help but worry about us if they won't stop interfering."
Freddie kisses her head and strokes her hair. "Carls, we'll be alright." He hugs her close. "Ever heard that song by Taylor Swift, 'Ours'?" Carly shakes her head. "Well, in the song, she says, 'So, don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine and that makes life look hard.' Not everything is gonna be easy, babe. There are always going to be obstacles. We just have to fight to get through them."
Carly smiles, followed by a yawn. She nuzzles into the crook of his neck. "I love you, Freddie."
"I love you, too." Freddie says.
They stay there for another half hour, and Carly starts to nod off. Freddie wakes her up carefully. "Carly, baby, get up. It's one thirty."
Carly wakes up and wipes her face with her arm. They gather themselves and make their way down to their floor.
"Goodnight, Freddie." Carly says, giving him a kiss. "See you tomorrow."
"'Night, Carls." Freddie says, returning her kiss.
They make it back into their apartments safe and sound.

That's all, folks! Hope you stick around for more! R&R!
