Freddie quickly sprinted through out his condo excitedly buttoning up his navy polo and jogging toward Carly and Spencer's wearing a huge grin. He had a date tonight, with a certain blond. At first he was indecisive his love for Carly was full blown and head over heels in love but with her constant string of boyfriends, and her current long term one. He'd finally given up, he grew tired of wearing his heart on his sleeve and never getting anything in return. Today would be a new day he even looked himself in the mirror and recited, "Carly Shay I'm over you". Freddie didn't feel the spark he use to, he lost hope on she was just a lost cause and way out of his league. It took him 16 years to realize this.

He pushed open the rather quiet apartment glancing down at his watch, it was 20 minutes before his date. Freddie had left his cell phone in the iCarly studio by accident and would stop by to quickly grab it.

"Spence? I left my cell", Freddie called already in the spacious apartment. When he didn't hear a respond he assumed Spencer was out buying art supplies and Carly was nowhere to be found as always. So, he didn't even bother calling her name.

Freddie climbed up the stairs leading to the studio while pulling his leather bomber jacket around his broad shoulders. From the clear door he could see the studio was empty. He pulled it open and was surprised to see Carly's pink purse sitting on the table beside his cell phone. He flinched when he heard a sniffling sound and followed the noise and found Carly propped against one of the slouchy beaner chairs in a darken corner facing the fire escape.

"Carly?" his deep voice asked, furrowing his brow confused.

Surprised by the company Carly turned her head and quickly wiped away tears she hoped Freddie had seen. But when he inched closer she knew he saw them but she attempted to play it off and smile jokingly.

"Somebody's going out tonight", her voice quaked as she plastered a faked a broken smile. Her eyes said it all, they were ready and puffy. Freddie's heart immediately went out to her. She just didn't know the spell she had over him sometimes.

Freddie noticed she was in a white tank top, with a long gray cardigan, and light wash jeans with brown Uggs on her feet. It wasn't her usual Friday night flashy attire so he knew she wasn't going anywhere.

"What's wrong?" he asked seriously, ignoring her comment from earlier.

Carly weakly smiled waving her hand, "Who me? I'm fine, go head enjoy your night".

He didn't believe her for a second.

She avoided his gaze and frustratedly ran her fingers through her long jet black hair walking past him.

"Carly, I don't believe you".

Carly plopped on the table where all Freddie's video equipment was and he sat next to her, ignoring the vibration of his cell phone. Whoever was calling would have to wait.

"I'm such a mess", Carly admitted fragile as a fresh pair of tears arised. Freddie put his strong arm around her small frame and pulled her closer so he could comfort her.

"Its okay", he whispered warmly against her arm before removing his face to give her some distance but she pulled closer.

"I don't know why I waste my time with these stupid guys. They're all the same", Carly hiccupped uncontrollably and wiped away flowing tears.

"Me either", Freddie breathed and became slightly jealous that she would never cry over him like the way she did for these player boyfriends of hers. He lifted his hand to wipe away the last of her tears with the pads of his thumbs.

"They don't care about my favorite ice cream-

"Vanilla".

Or my favorite color-

"Purple".

Carly turned from her bantering and looked at Freddie, like she'd seen him for the first time. Sure, he'd changed drastically. He now strutted with a 6'1 physique and towered over her. His biceps were noticeably bigger and his style had upgraded. His baby fat was long and gone now replaced with chiseled jaws and a deeper voice. A lot of girls at school liked him these days but Carly always out him to the side. Insisting that he cared 'too' much.

But now, he was standing in a new light when he looked into her deep brown eyes her heart fluttered.

"I probably should leave you—

"I think I'm done kissing frogs, I'm ready for a prince", Carly lightly joked.

Freddie's heart skipped a beat. "What are you saying?"

Carly leaned forward and tilted her head up toward Freddie's, "Maybe I've been dating all these jerks to make myself forget about you. The one guy who loves me for me", she breathed and closed her eyes. Freddie was in awe. Her timing couldn't have been worse but this was what he'd been waiting for his whole life. He had to try, just for old time's sake.

Freddie lifted her chin and reluctantly pulled his lips to hers closing his eyes already lost in the moment. His fingertips tingled against her face and his heart beat quickened. Carly lengthened the kiss and turned her body completely toward him.

Sam stood frozen in pure shock outside the door, she'd just come to borrow a bracelet from Carly for her date. Not to see her two best friends making out in their iCarly studio. Her heart sunk to her knees, she was pissed at herself for getting all dolled up. She even wore a skirt for him. She bolted down the steps feeling tears threaten tears to fall.

He broke this kiss and closed his eyes in deep thought. " I have to go".

"Don't", Carly breathed anxiously grabbing hold of his hand. " Don't leave me, please", she exhaled and her bottomless brown eyes sparkled underneath the lights. She pulled his body closer to hers.

"I want you, like you've been wanting me all this time Freddie", Carly explained and brushed his hair back blinking away tears.

He was reluctant, maybe this was just heat of the moment and she was just venting after another break up.

"I'm just another rebound to you, Carly", Freddie turned his head from her face even though it hurt him.

Carly gripped his wrist tighter and made him look at her. " I love you, forever and always", she breathed and pecked his cheek.

The little boy inside of him was pushing him closer and closer to her, he was overwhelmed with emotion. He was mad, relieved, and excited all at the same time.

"Tell me you love me again", he demanded. If she said it again, he knew it'd be real.

"I love you- Carly began but was cut off by Freddie's lips hungrily crushing into hers, she chained her arms around his neck and wrap her legs around his waist helping him out of his jacket. Their lips never moved from one another, Freddie laid her body across the table knocking over everything . He wrapped his fingers in her silky jet black hair and moved down to grip her waist and brought her upward.

"I love you", Freddie breathed against her neck and gripped her thin frame against hers closely he wanted to feel everything.
