"You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Morning sunshine," Kelly smiled as Carrie walked towards her in the empty warehouse where the commercial was going to be shot. It had been over a week since they had seen each other, and Kelly couldn't remember ever being happier to see a face no matter how grumpy it appeared.
Carrie grumbled as she pulled the hood of her jacket lower, covering her eyes. She decided that six was way too early in the morning to have to be somewhere as she collapsed on Kelly's lap, folding into her. Kelly laughed, wrapping her arms around her, rubbing her back, trying to help her to wake up.
"They've been working you hard?" Kelly asked, allowing the country singer to nuzzle into her neck.
Kelly heard her mutter something that sounded an awful lot like 'bitches', but knowing Carrie, was probably more like 'witches'.
"So, my albums going well, at least in my opinion," Kelly informed her, continuing to rub her back as Carrie wrapped her arms around Kelly's waist. "But I think we might push back the date a bit."
"Mm?" she heard Carrie mumble against her neck.
Kelly laughed, "Yea, but it's not a bad thing. I've just been in such a writing mood lately, it's ridiculous, and a lot of it is actually really good, so we want to try and get some of the new songs into the studio and see what we've got before we start like narrowing things down and putting out finished products, you know?"
Carrie nodded in agreement.
"You want me to stop talking so you can sleep?"
Carrie shook her head.
"Well it's kinda hard to hold a one sided conversation," Kelly pointed out. "But then again, this is me we're talking about. Oh, so I got that email you sent me with the picture of Ace in the pool, so will you please inform him for me that I'll have to get to know him a little better before I go skinny dipping with him."
Carrie giggled, and Kelly felt her face flush at the feeling of the other blonde's lips grazing her skin.
"And, lets see, what else," she continued, her voice a little shaky, but steadying out. "Oh, so I was at the store the other day with Ashley and of course she's like the gossip magazine queen, right? Anyway there was a huge front page article about how some guy named Chase or something is gay, right? And so then Ashley is like what? I thought he was dating Carrie..."
Carrie pulled back, looking at her with sleepy yet narrowed eyes, "We weren't dating."
"How many people can say they turned a guy gay? I mean, wow," Kelly grinned. "You really are bad in bed. I mean, I was just joking last time I said that, but hey, you really are."
Carrie slapped her arm, "I am not bad in bed!"
Kelly raised an eyebrow, and Carrie blushed as the other people who were already gathered for the shoot glanced their way.
"Way to go Casanova," Kelly laughed as Carrie buried her face into Kelly's neck again.
"Shut up," she mumbled.
"Or what?" Kelly grinned. "You're gonna have your way with me? Cause trust me, I'm scared now."
Carrie groaned into her neck, and Kelly subconsciously wrapped her arms tighter around her, pulling their bodies closer.
+++++++++++++
"Ok, so the concept for this is very laid back," the director informed the two singers and the group of kids that had volunteered to be involved. "Just have fun for right now. We want to get some cute shots, after we'll do the scripted stuff, ok?"
"Sure," Carrie nodded, feeling much better after having had several cups of coffee.
"Ok," he nodded. "Well, I've got to have a quick word with Michael real quick, but y'all can all just go right over there to your spots and get ready. Ok?"
"Ok shorties, let's go," Kelly smiled, holding Alex's hand as they walked to their spots in front of the camera, standing in front of a white background. "So check this out," the Idol turned to Carrie with a smile, pointing to her name that was embroidered onto the white doctor's coat that she had slipped on. "Yea, that's right. Dr. Kelly."
Carrie laughed, "Where in the world did you get that?"
"One of the doctor's at the hospital got it for me," she grinned. "I've always wanted one."
"Not fair," Carrie frowned.
"You can have my stethoscope," Kelly offered, pulling it out of the jacket pocket.
"Aw, you'd give me your stethoscope?" Carrie pouted sweetly. "Does this mean that I'm your valentine?"
"Wasn't that like a month ago?" Kelly asked, placing the instrument around Carrie's neck.
"It was more like a month and a half ago," Alex corrected.
Carrie laughed at the small girl.
"Dude, as a wingman, you suck," Kelly shook her head.
"You're my wingman," Alex corrected.
"Oh, she told you," Carrie grinned.
"What is this? Pick on the Texan day?" Kelly asked.
"After what you were saying this morning?" Carrie raised an eyebrow. "Yes, definitely."
Kelly grinned mischievously, opening her mouth to speak, but Carrie quickly cut her off.
"We are surrounded by virgin ears," she reminded.
"I bet Chase wishes he was still a virgin," Kelly whispered just loud enough for her to hear.
Carrie's jaw dropped, and Kelly beamed.
"You are so dead," Carrie nodded. "Just wait."
"What's a virgin?" Alex asked, looking up at the two of them curiously.
Carrie looked at Kelly with a smirk, "I'll let you take this one."
"No, not virgin," Kelly smiled down at her. "Virginia. Our friend Chase is from Virginia."
"Then what's wrong with his ears?" Alex questioned, wrinkling her nose cutely.
Kelly ignored the fact that Carrie was shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter.
"Oh, he, um...he got his ears pierced."
"Why would a guy get his ear pierced? I thought only girls do that?"
"That's definitely a question that Carrie can answer," Kelly smiled. "Care?"
Carrie had a look in her eyes that told the Texan that as soon as this shoot was over she'd better run...and fast.
"Well, you see," Carrie knelt down in front of her. "Guys can pierce their ears too. Anybody can. Just like girls can play sports. You can do anything you want, so, um, don't let anyone tell you different, ok?"
"Ok," Alex looked at her weirdly before walking to join the other children.
"Way to go all after school special on the girl," Kelly laughed.
"Shut up and come here," Carrie demanded.
"Feisty," Kelly smirked.
"I wanna try this thing out," she said, putting the stethoscope on properly.
"That thing better not be cold," Kelly warned as she sat on one of the white boxes that was on the set.
"I'll put it on the outside of your shirt," Carrie promised, walking over on her knees until she was right in front of the Texan.
"We're gonna start rolling!" the director called out.
Carrie put the stethoscope up to Kelly's chest.
"Am I alive?" Kelly asked, watching her listen intently.
"I don't know. I think your broken," Carrie wrinkled her brow, moving it around.
"Your not doing it right," Alex said as she and the rest of the kids joined them.
"And how would you know?" Carrie smiled.
"Because I've seen the doctors do it like a million times," she replied, taking the stethoscope from the country singer, and placing it in her ears. "First you gotta breathe on the other end to warm it up. Nobody likes a cold heart finder."
"Heart finder?" Kelly asked.
"Yea, that's what is," she explained, using her tiny hand to guide it over Kelly's chest.
The Texan sat perfectly still, waiting patiently.
"I found it!" Alex cheered.
"Oh, let me hear," Carrie said as Alex handed it back to her. "Wow, Kell. Some heart you got there," she smiled at the sound of the steady beat in her ears.
"I wanna hear," another child requested, and Carrie handed it over to her.
"I thought I was the doctor here," Kelly laughed as each of the kids took a turn listening to her heartbeat. "I wanna listen too."
"You can't find your own heart," Alex rolled her eyes.
"And why not?"
"Because somebody else has to find it for you. That's just how hearts work."
Kelly felt her heart melt as the explanation that had just come out of the six year old's mouth.
"She can find mine," Carrie offered.
"Can I see the stethoscope?" Kelly asked a young boy who was holding it.
"Keep away from Kelly!" a high-pitched voice called out. The children immediately scattered around the stage area.
Kelly looked at Carrie who was laughing.
"You'd better get started," she smiled. "I have a feeling this may take a while."
Kelly shook her head, standing, "You guys, come on. I'm so faster than all of you."
"Are not," Luke replied, catching the stethoscope as someone tossed it to him.
"Y'all be careful with that," Carrie warned.
"Yes ma'am!" Alex grinned, taking it from Luke.
"Ma'am?" Kelly laughed, holding an arm out to grab her as she tried to run past. Alex tossed it to someone else, but Kelly picked her up, turning her upside down. "Since when do you say ma'am? Who taught you those manners?" she asked, tickling her, making her giggle. "You'd better tell me so I can kick their butt. Nobody teachers my girl manners."
Alex squealed with laughter.
"I have a new game!" Kelly declared. "Keep away the Alex!"
"No!" Alex laughed.
"Here you go," Kelly said, handing her over to Carrie.
"Well, what do we have here?" Carrie laughed, setting the small girl right side up in her arms. "I think it's a munchkin."
"No fair," Luke fussed, once again with the stethoscope.
"I'll trade you," Kelly smiled.
Luke frowned, "Give her back first."
"At the same time," Kelly narrowed her eyes.
"One..." Kelly counted as Carrie set Alex on the floor, still holding onto her.
"Two..." Luke said, holding out the stethoscope.
"Three..." Kelly finished and Carrie let go of Alex as Luke pulled the stethoscope out of Kelly's reach.
"Care," Kelly turned to her. "You let her go?"
"You said three," she shrugged.
"What neighborhood did you grow up in? Candy land?"
Carrie shrugged with an apologetic smile.
"You know what," Kelly placed her hands on her hips, turning back to Luke and the rest of the children. "You can keep your stinky old heart finder. I can make my own."
"Cannot," a young girl replied.
"Can too," Kelly stuck out her tongue.
"Prove it," Luke smiled.
"Fine," Kelly said, walking off the set and to the table filled with snacks. She grabbed a plastic cup, and brought it back to where they were all standing.
"That's a cup," Alex pointed out.
"It's a heart finder," Kelly corrected.
"Is not."
"Is too."
"Won't work."
"Will work."
"How do you know?"
"Cause this is how we roll in the ghetto," she smiled, walking over to Carrie who sat down on one of the boxes.
The kids quickly hurried around them, forming a semicircle around the two Idols. Kelly knelt down in front of the country singer, bringing the cup up to her chest. She moved it around in concentration until she heard the gentle thumping of her heart.
"Can you hear it?" Alex asked softly.
"Yea," Kelly grinned.
"Liar," she crossed her arms.
"Come see," Kelly said, placing the fragile child in between her and the other singer. "Listen carefully," she instructed as she continued to hold the cup up for her.
"I can't hear," Alex fussed.
"Quit talking," Kelly laughed.
Alex stood in silence before breaking out into a smile. She looked up at Carrie with a huge grin, "She found your heart."
Carrie smiled as a collective 'aww' was heard around the studio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She couldn't help but smile. There were certain things in her life that she knew she would never forget: the exact moment Ryan announced her the winner, where she was when she found out she had her first number one single, accepting her first grammy, and that exact moment when she locked eyes with her over the small girl's head. Those omniscient eyes staring back at her as hazel met hazel. Something changed in that moment. She still didn't know what exactly it was, but something definitely changed.
She paused on her way down the stairs as a sudden wave of emotion washed over her. Maybe she should have asked her sister to wait after all...
+++++++++++++++++++++++
"It hurts to see the hurt beneath
Your laughter and your lies
And try in vain to free the painful secret
Locked behind your eyes."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm hungry," Kelly pouted, slumping in her chair.
"For what?" Carrie asked from the chair beside her, exhausted as the shoot was finally over. Deciding to combine the commercial and the final photo shoot in one day definitely wasn't as smart as it sounded.
"Food."
Carrie laughed, "Good, because you never know now a days."
"Says the vegan," Kelly teased.
"How'd you know I was a vegan?"
"I've been to your house. I've seen what's in your fridge. It's just not normal. Taco Bell."
"Taco Bell?" Carrie raised an eyebrow, unable to follow her train of thought.
"I want Taco Bell," she nodded.
"That's not food. That's like...I don't know, but it's gross."
"Have you ever even eaten there?"
"Vegan," Carrie reminded.
"They have like cheese quesadillas and bean burritos and stuff."
"Cheese as in from milk from cows?"
"Oh wow," Kelly frowned. "So you're like really hardcore."
"Yea," Carrie smiled.
"Well, if it helps, I really don't think it's real cheese."
"Probably not," she agreed.
"But it's really good," Kelly assured her.
"I'll take your word for it."
"Yea, you're right. I'm supposed to be eating healthy anyway," Kelly sighed. "How about we just go back to your place and fix a salad or something?"
"You sure? Cause we can just pick up something from two different places and bring it back," Carrie offered as they stood.
"Nah, I saw a couple of those screen shots. I already look like a cow next to you. Let's not make it any worse," she smiled.
"Kell," Carrie sighed, placing a hand on her arm and stopping her. "Don't talk like that."
"I was only joking."
"No, you weren't," Carrie replied firmly, studying her face. "So stop."
Kelly's gaze faltered.
"That's a wrap people," they heard the director call out.
"Let's go," Carrie smiled gently, placing a hand on the small of Kelly's back and guiding her out of the building. "So, you said Ashley was gonna take your car home?"
"Yea," Kelly mumbled.
"Kell, come here," Carrie said, pulling her into a hug as they reached the country singer's car. "I'm sorry, ok?" she asked, pulling back to look in the shorter blonde's eyes which was rather difficult under the night sky. "I just hate it when you talk like that. Other people might think it's funny, but I don't."
"Carrie--"
"No," Carrie insisted. "Kelly, seriously, you are so beautiful it isn't even funny. And if you could only see the way people look at you, you wouldn't even think of saying things like that. There's just something about you that draws people to you. I try so hard to be perceived as hot or sexy, but you do it without even knowing, and I'm so jealous of that. You need to stop these self-deprecating remarks. It's not healthy, at all, and if you do it, what's gonna stop others from doing it?"
"I don't care what others say about me," Kelly frowned.
"One. I know that's not true. And two, I didn't mean what's gonna stop others from saying it about you, I meant what's gonna stop your young fans from saying it about themselves?" Carrie asked softly.
Kelly furrowed her brow, for once unable to come up with something to say.
"I just don't get it," Carrie admitted. "If there's anybody on this planet that deserves to be confident, heck, that deserves to be outright cocky, it's you."
"Sorry," Kelly murmured.
"No, Kell, no, that's not it at all. I'm not fussing at you."
Kelly looked up at her, the mixture of confusion and nerves and hurt evident in her eyes even in the darkness.
Carrie let out a deep breath as she pulled the Texan into another hug, this time holding her there.
"I'm just saying that I want you to be happy," Carrie explained in her ear. "How's that saying go? You can't love someone until you love yourself?"
She heard Kelly sniff, and Carrie felt her stomach churn, knowing that she was the one that caused the tears she felt on her cheek.
"I didn't mean to upset you," Carrie whispered honestly.
"You know I cry for everything," Kelly replied back quietly.
"This isn't everything," Carrie argued. "It's something, and I'm sorry."
"Didn't you just fuss at me for apologizing?"
"Because you have nothing to apologize for," Carrie replied, pulling back. She could see the glow of the tear stains on Kelly's cheeks. "Let's just go, ok? I think we could both use some food and some rest right now."
Kelly nodded as Carrie walked to the other side of the car.
++++++++++++
"Kelly?" Carrie whispered as she climbed into bed. When she had gotten out of the shower, the lights had already been turned off.
"I'm sorry for getting so upset earlier," Kelly replied, turning onto her other side to face her.
"Shoot," Carrie breathed. "You scared me. I wasn't even sure if you were here or not."
Kelly giggled as she scooted towards the country singer.
"There you are," Carrie grinned as her eyes adjusted to the lack of light and Kelly's face came into view a few inches away, their feet taking part in an innocent game of footsies under the covers. "And don't worry about it. I have a tendency of sucking when it comes to conversations. I always say the wrong thing at the wrong time in the wrong way."
"Actually, I was about to say you're really good at saying what needs to be said, even when most people wouldn't."
"Sounds like I have a big mouth."
"Sounds like you're honest," Kelly countered, linking their hands together.
"Which isn't always the best policy."
"Well, in my book, it is."
Carrie smiled as Kelly guided her hands behind her back and left them there as she scooted closer, snuggling into her. Carrie wrapped her arms tighter around her as Kelly rested her head just under her chin.
"You know something?" Carrie said thoughtfully.
"What?"
"You and me...I think we're gonna be ok."
"You never know," Kelly laughed softly.
