Smothered giggles run through my ears along with a "Snap!" of a camera shutter. I blink my eyes open only to find Carly not two feet from my face. I rub my eyes before realizing my chair is a little too warm for it to just be a chair. As my memories return, my face heats up and I jump off Freddie's lap, waking him up as well. He apparently wakes up a bit faster than I do as he almost falls off the chair at the sight of the camera I am currently about to wrestle back from Carly.
"Too bad, I already sent copies of the adorable picture of you two cuddling." Carly states with a very smug look on her face.
"To who?" I question exasperatedly, quite annoyed with Carly as well as mortified at who she could have sent the picture to. My phone beeps and I check it, feeling my face grow warmer as the picture of me and Freddie surfaces. He has his head on my shoulder and I have my face next to his with his arm around my waist, keeping me in his lap as I sleep. She's right, it is adorable. Freddie's phone has also gone off and he has an almost happy look on his face as he sees the photo, trying to discretely put the phone back in his pocket. Too late for him, I already noticed.
"Aw," Carly coos as she stares at the photo. "So when did you guys get together anyway? I have a bet to settle with Gibby."
I stutter at the information, having no clue what to say as we've been caught completely red-handed. So I opt to say nothing and am about to mutter an excuse about having to get home, when Freddie catches me off-guard, "right now if she'll agree to be my girlfriend."
I'm unable to look at him, for some reason feeling very shy at this moment in time. "How do you know if I even like you?"
"I have known you and Carly for years, I know that you wouldn't even touch a guy you weren't interested in, let alone be cuddling with him and having the evidence caught on camera. I also know you didn't flinch when I told you how I felt last night, and you were awake so don't try to tell me you weren't. Are you gonna say yes or am I going to have to blackmail you into it?" He waggles his eyebrows at me at the blackmail comment.
"I think I'll just save us the trouble and say yes." I state at him, then when he leans in to hug me, I whisper in his ear "I love you too Fredward." To which he kisses me right on the lips like a romance hero.
