Baby Can I Hold You

Carrie was woken by the buzz of her mobile phone, telling her she had a text. Looking to her left she realised Elle and Kelly were still asleep, still wrapped out in each others arms. Grabbing her Phone from the night stand Carrie made her way towards the bathroom to read it. She thought she was dreaming when she read the name, she was sure she would never hear from that person again.



'Heard about Kelly on the news.....Hope she's OK.....News said good friend Carrie Underwood was taking care of her.......U Finally tell her your in love with her? Sarah x x



Carrie hadn't heard from Sarah in over a month, She had cut off all ties with the blonde when she found out she was in love with Kelly. Now Carrie didn't know if Sarah was being supportive or being her bitchy self. Before she could text her back she felt small hands wrapping around her legs. Looking down Elle stood, blonde curly hair falling all over her face.



' Mommy's crying.' Carrie looked towards the bed Kelly was frantically moving around the bed.



Kelly.' Carrie called her name as she approached the bed. Climbing onto the middle of it Carrie attempted to hold her but she was moving too fast to get a hold of her. 'Kelly.' Carrie tried again.



'give her a kiss.....that's how I always wake her up' Carrie turned to look at Elle what was standing at the door.



' Go get Mommy some water.' Carrie waited till Elle was out the door before climbing on top of Kelly holding her hands above her head. She thought about Elle's words, really not the most appropriate thing to do but she had to do something. Carrie let her lips rest on Kelly's cheek before she allowed them to wander around her face. Gently but firmly she roamed around Kelly's face leaving soft kisses. Kelly soon stopped moving, her tears still falling from her face. Carrie began kissing them away, she could feel Kelly relax under her again.



' That's not how I kiss her' Carrie turned to find Elle back in the room glass of water in hand. Realising she was still straddling Kelly's waist she jumped off landing on the bed beside her.



'Guess my ways different sweety'



'Your ways weird.' Elle left the water by the bed before leaving the room again. It have become a morning routine for Elle to watch cartoons while Carrie tried her best to wake up.



Kelly slept most of the morning leaving Elle and Carrie to play at the many games they had made up over the week .When Kelly did finally wake up Carrie had her breakfast waiting for her.



' I've never slept so well .....Your sister really needs to tell me where she got this bed.' Carrie watched as Kelly yawned and stretched.



'You were crying.....bad dream.?' Carrie sat beside Kelly.



'Really?......Cant remember if I did......But hey that's me don't remember much these days.' Carrie watched her closely.



'You don't remember it?'



'Nope.' Kelly began eating.



'OK then.' Carrie let it go,she didn't want to pressure her.



The rest of the morning went by quietly, Carrie's sister had left for a few days of work leaving the three girls alone. If carrie imagined hard enough she could almost forget that last eleven days hadn't happened. She imagined her and Kelly had taken Elle away to their secret place, Kelly's face wasn't covered in deep bruises and she remembered everything.



'So when did you know you were gay,' Kelly had just finished putting Elle down for a nap and decided to join Carrie on the sofa.



'I was about 9.......I had a crush on some Movie actress.'



'And when did you come out?.....Tell the world?' Carrie laughed, if Kelly could remember she would know that she played a big part of her coming out.



' I had just won Idol.........we had met....and my mother was in town......You came to dinner with us.' Carrie thought back, remembering Kelly walking into the restaurant wearing a long flowing dress. She had never seen anything so beautiful. ' At my mother did the usually....you know I met a boy that would be perfect for you.....it went on all night.....anyway at the end you noticed how stressed I was and thought we should go to your hotel room and talk.........and before you know it I was coming out to you......you took the news so well that before I knew it I was on Good morning America telling the world I was gay.' Carrie looked around to find Kelly's eyes fixed on her.



' Was it hard......to tell your family.' Carrie nodded, her mother didn't talk to her for a week. ' So tell me......when did I do it?' Carrie shook her head.



'Do what?'



'come out.....when did I come out.' Carrie stayed silent, Kelly had just admitted she was gay, She was gay and she thought the world knew
