“I got back just a few minutes ago.” Arwin answered.
“Who is this girl with you?” Zack asked.
“This is my younger sister Ariel and she wanted to see the hotel so I bought her with me.” Arwin answered.
“It’s really good to have you back and it’s nice to meet you.” Ariel said.
“My name is Zack Martin and this is my twin brother Cody.” Zack replied.

“What’s the matter?” Ariel asked.
“I overhear you talking the other day about your boyfriend and it made me sad.” Esteban answered.
“Why would make you sad?” Ariel asked.

“How did you know it was me?” Juan asked.
“I know those strong hands anywhere.” Ariel answered.
Juan smiles and kisses Ariel passionately.
“I love you my beautiful babe.” Juan said.

“He’s so unsure of that ever happening.” Ariel replied.
“Do you remember the day that I admit that I had feelings for you?” Juan asked.
“Yeah I do just as if it was yesterday.” Ariel answered.
~Flashback to almost a year ago~
Ariel is at Doolys with her friends. Ariel’s friend Modesty looks at her.
“What’s wrong with you tonight?” Modesty asked.
“I think you know the answer to one without me telling you.” Ariel answered.
“Oh yeah right I forgot.” Modesty said.
Ariel sighs than gets to her feet and walks away. Simeon looks at Juan.
“I think you should go after her to see if she’s ok.” Simeon replied.
“Why do I have go?” Juan asked.
“She’ll open up more to you than the rest of us.” Simeon answered.
Juan sighs than gets to his feet and goes after Ariel. Ariel is outside sitting on the steps with her head buried in her hands. Juan sits down next to her and puts his arm around her. Ariel brushes Juan’s arm off.
“Don’t do that.” Ariel said.
“Why not?” Juan asked.
“You know the answer to that one.” Ariel answered.
“Why are being so cold-hearted tonight?” Juan asked.
“You also know the answer to that one too.” Ariel answered.
“No I don’t.” Juan said.
“I want a boyfriend.” Ariel replied.
“Well I told you before you’d find one when least it except it and there’s lost of fish in sea.” Juan said.
“I’ve told you a million times that there’s only one fish that I want but it will never work because he doesn’t feel the same way and even if he did he’d never admit it.” Ariel replied.
Ariel gets to her feet and starts walking off home. Juan jumps to his feet and grabs Ariel’s arm.
“Please don’t go home mad and it’s not safe for you be walking by yourself.” Juan said.
“Save the lecture for someone wants to listen.” Ariel replied.
“You really need to cheer up and come to have a good time with your friends.” Juan said.
“The only why I’ll cheer up is if my dream of being your girl comes true but let’s face you don’t feel that way about me.” Ariel replied as tears start to fall down her face.
“How much a willing bet on that one?” Juan asked as he wipes the tears away from Ariel’s eyes.
“I don’t know want to bet anything because I’d lose.” Ariel answered.
“Don’t be too sure of yourself.” Juan said as he pulls Ariel close than kisses her passionately.
Ariel gasps. A few minutes later Juan breaks the kiss.
“Why did you do that?” Ariel asked.
“I did it because you’re wrong about everything.” Juan answered.
“What do you mean?” Ariel asked.
“I mean that I’m madly in love with you but I didn’t know how to tell you until now.” Juan answered.
“Are you serious?” Ariel asked.
“I’ve never been more serious in all my life.” Juan answered.
Ariel hugs Juan really tight. Juan wraps his strong arms around Ariel. Ariel just smiles.
“I feel so safe in your arms my gorgeous angel.” Ariel said.
“What did you just call me?” Juan asked.
“I called you my gorgeous angel.” Ariel answered.
“Oh well I like that name my beautiful babe.” Juan said.
“Did you just call me your beautiful babe?” Ariel asked.’
“Yes I did my dear.” Juan answered.
“Oh I just was wondering.” Ariel said.
“I don’t think we should tell the others for awhile about us.” Juan replied.
“That’s actually what I was thinking.” Ariel said.
Juan and Ariel walk back inside than over to where the gang is. Modesty looks at Ariel.
“Are you ok now?” Modesty asked.
“Yeah I am thanks to Juan.” Ariel answered.
“What did he do?” Simeon asked.
“Nothing much just talked to me which really helped.” Ariel answered.
Ariel sighs deeply which makes Juan get a worried look on his face. Modesty looks at Ariel again.
“Are you ok?” Modesty asked.
Ariel shakes her head no. Juan gets a scared look on his face.
“What’s wrong?” Moses asked.
Ariel looks at Juan than at Moses.
“I shouldn’t have left my coat at home because I’m freezing.” Ariel answered.
Juan gets to his feet than puts his coat over Ariel’s shoulder.
“You can borrow mine for now.” Juan said.
“Thanks Juan that’s so nice of you.” Ariel replied.
Juan just smiles and sits back down. It’s few weeks pass. Juan and Ariel are falling deep in love with each passing day. The gang is out again but Juan hasn’t shown up yet.
“Where could he be at?” Modesty asked.
“I was talking to him early and he said that he would be a little late.” Simeon answered.
“Did he say why?” Modesty asked.
“No he didn’t.” Simeon answered.
All of a sudden Juan walks through the door with a single red rose and a long black box. Juan beckons Ariel to come over and she does.
“What is it?” Ariel asked.
“There’s something special about today.” Juan answered.
“Do you mean our anniversary?” Ariel asked.
“Yes that’s what I mean my beautiful babe.” Juan answered.
Juan gives Ariel the single red rose and opens the box to reveal a sapphire blue diamond necklace.
“Could you put it on me?” Ariel asked.
“Yeah sure I can.” Juan answered.
Juan unclasps the necklace than puts it around Ariel’s neck and clasp it shut.
“Thanks my gorgeous angel.” Ariel said.
“You’re welcome my beautiful babe.” Juan replied.
“Are you going to tell the gang tonight?” Juan asked.
“Yes we are because it’s not right to keep them in the dark.” Ariel answered.
Juan smiles than walks back over to where the gang is followed by Ariel.
“Everyone Ariel and I have something to tell you all.” Juan said.
“What is it?” Simeon asked.
“Juan and I have been dating for the past few weeks.” Ariel answered.
“Does mean you’re a couple now?” Ryder asked.
“Yes it does.” Juan answered.
Modesty gets to her feet and gives Ariel a hug.
“I’m so happy for you and I told that he liked you.” Modesty said.
“Thanks my friend and next you tell me something I’m going believe you.” Ariel said.
Juan smiles and wraps his strong arms around Ariel. Ariel smiles too.
“Why are you smiling like that?” Mason asked.
“I always smile when Juan wraps his strong arms around me because I feel so safe in his arms.” Ariel answered.
“You said that same thing when you with Chance.” Mason said.
“Well I feel even safer in Juan’s arms because he’s a lot stronger than Chance will ever be right my gorgeous angel.” Ariel replied as she looks up in Juan’s eyes.
“You got that right my beautiful babe.” Juan said as he kisses the top of Ariel’s head.
~End of flashback~
Arwin sighs. Mr. Moseby walks over to Carey.
“Have you figured out what songs you are going to sing tonight?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“Yeah I did and I’m also might take a few requests too.” Carey answered.
“Well you better get ready because it’s almost time for you to sing.” Mr. Moseby said.
Carey smiles than runs up to her suite that she shares with Cody and Zack.
Carey changes into her Baby Blue Embroidered Bodice Dress than heads to Under The Tip. Arwin, Ariel and Juan are sitting close the stage. Mr. Moseby comes out on the stage and takes the microphone.
“I’m glad to introduce our resident hotel singer Carey Martin.” Mr. Moseby said.
Carey walks out onto the stage and takes the microphone from Mr. Moseby.
“Thanks for coming everyone. I’m going to sing a few songs tonight than after I’ll be taking your requests.” Carey replied.
“What are you singing first?” London asked.
“I’m going to sing When You Say Nothing At All and I would like to dedicate it to very special someone that’s here tonight.” Carey answered.
“Who is that special someone?” Maddie asked.
“I’d rather not say just yet.” Carey answered.
Carey smiles than the music starts up.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all...
Carey smiles.
“Nice job mom.” Cody yelled.
Carey smiles again.
“The next song is called Sometimes and it’s dedicated the same special someone that last song was dedicated too.” Carey said.
You tell me you're in love with me
Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
It's not that I don't wanna stay
But everytime you come too close I move away
I wanna believe in everything that you say
Ah 'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time
I don't wanna be so shy, uh-uh
Everytime that I'm alone I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
You'll see that, you're the only one for me
I wanna believe in everything that you say
Ah 'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me, you just have to know
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
All I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby all I need is time
Just hang around and you'll see
There's no where I'd rather be
If you love me, trust in me
The way that I trust in you
Ahh, ohh
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (Ohh, oh yeah)
But all I really want is to hold you tight (Hold you tight)
Treat you right, be with you day and night (Day and night)
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (Ohh, oh yeah)
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night (Day and night)
All I really want is to hold you tight
Be with you day and night
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night...
“Keep it up mom because you have an amazing voice.” Zack screamed.
Carey smiles.
“This next song is called Let The Music Heal Your Soul. I’m dedicating this one to my twin boys Cody and Zack.” Carey said.
Zack and Cody smile at the same time.
Oh if someone writes a song with a simple rhyme
Just a song where is feeling show
And if someone feels the same about the simple song
Oh sometimes you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also, it also heals your soul
Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power to move any mountain
Oh if someone plays piano with some simple chords
So melodic and endearing too
And oh if someone plays guitar with the old piano
And maybe you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also heals your soul
Oh yeah
Let the music heal you soul
Let the music take control
Let the music heal you soul
Oh, oh yes
Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Arwin smiles.
“Great job Carey.” Arwin yelled.
“Thanks Arwin.” Carey said.
“Are you taking requests now?” Ariel asked.
“Yes I am.” Carey answered.
“Can you a song for me?” Ariel asked.
“Yeah I can if you tell me the song.” Carey answered.
“The song is It’s Your Love because that’s mine and Juan’s special song.” Ariel said.
The pianist starts to play It’s Your Love and a few minutes later Carey starts to sing along.
Dancin' in the dark, middle of the night
Takin' your heart and holdin' it tight
Emotional touch, touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doin' all over again
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Better than I was, more than I am
And all of this happened, by takin' your hand
And who I am now is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in (oh, oh)
And if you asked me why I've changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
Whoa, baby
It's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
It's your love
It's your love
It's your love
Ariel sighs. Juan looks at Ariel.
“What’s my beautiful babe?” Juan asked.
Ariel looks at Juan.
“It’s nothing.” Ariel answered as she cuddles up to Juan.
Juan smiles and puts his arm around Ariel’s shoulder. Carey smiles.
“Well that’s all for me tonight and thanks for coming everyone.” Carey said.
Arwin looks Ariel.
“What did you think of her singing?” Arwin asked.
“You were totally right about what you said.” Ariel answered.
Arwin looks at Juan.
“What did you think?” Arwin asked.
“She’s really good but I prefer the sound of your sister’s voice when she sings.” Juan answered.
Ariel just smiles and hugs Juan. It’s few hours later now. Zack and Cody are in bed sleeping. Carey is in her bed dreaming of way day being Arwin’s girlfriend. Arwin is dreaming of one day being Carey’s boyfriend. Esteban and Esperanza are dreaming about each other. Juan and Ariel are asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 3
Arwin Looses His Voice

It’s a few days after Carey sang for everyone. Ariel is just walking up in hers and Juan’s hotel room. Juan is still sleeping. Ariel writes Juan a quick note than goes down to see her brother. Arwin is sitting at his table staring at the picture of Carey.
“You are really in love with aren’t you?” Ariel asked
Arwin nods his head.
“Yes I am and I wish that she’d see me that way too.” Arwin answered.
Ariel smiles.
“I felt the exact before Juan and I started dating because I wanted to be his girl so badly that it hurt.” Ariel said.
“Ah if only that would happen for me.” Arwin replied.
Its few hours later. Mr. Moseby is at the front desk.
“ESTEBAN.” Mr. Moseby yelled.
Esteban runs over.
“Yes, Mr. Moseby.” Esteban said.
“There’s a leak in the men’s washroom so I need you to tell Arwin about it.” Mr. Moseby replied.
Esteban goes over Arwin.
“Mr. Moseby needs you to fix a leak in the men’s washroom.” Esteban said.
Arwin nods his head. Ariel walks over to her brother.
“Why aren’t you talking?” Ariel asked.
Arwin points to his throat. Mr. Moseby comes over.
“I think he’s trying to tell us that he lost his voice.” Mr. Moseby answered.
“Is Mr. Moseby right?” Ariel asked.
“Yes he is.” Arwin answered in really hoarse voice.
Carey is close by and when she hears that Arwin lost his voice she gets a worried a look. Zack and Cody look at their mother.
“What’s wrong mom?” Cody asked.
“It’s nothing.” Carey answered.
Carey runs to her suite.
“Do you believe her?” Zack asked.
“Not for a minute.” Cody answered.
A few minutes later Carey returns with a pot in hands.
“What’s that?” Zack asked.
“It’s chicken noodle soup.” Carey answered.
“Who is it for?” Cody asked.
“It’s for someone that needs it very badly.” Carey answered.
Carey walks over to where Arwin, Mr. Moseby and Esteban are.
Mr. Moseby looks at Carey.
“Who’s the soup for?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“It’s for Arwin because when I heard that he lost his voice I went to make it.” Carey answered.
Arwin smiles a little. Arwin goes down to the basement again. Carey follows Arwin. Arwin looks at Carey.
“Thanks Carey.” Arwin said in hoarse voice.
“If you want to get your voice back you shouldn’t be talking at all.” Carey replied.
Arwin nods his head. Carey puts some of the soup into a bowl than sits in front Arwin. Arwin eats up than falls asleep. Carey puts the pot of soup on the desk in front of Arwin. Carey kisses Arwin on the forehead than leaves and goes to her suite. Carey goes into her bedroom and falls onto her bed. Zack and Cody come into the suite to watch a movie. Carey starts to cry. Zack hears Carey crying.
“Cody, listen mom’s crying.” Zack said.
“Why would she being crying?” Cody asked.
“I don’t know but I think we should go see if she’s ok.” Zack answered.
Zack and Cody go to their mother’s door than knock on it. Carey looks up at the door and dries her tears.
“Come in.” Carey said.
Zack and Cody walk into their mother’s room.
“We heard you crying mom.” Zack replied.
“I didn’t want anybody to know that I was.” Carey said.
“Why were you crying mom?” Cody asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Carey answered.
“You’ll feel better if you do mom.” Cody said.
“No Cody, I mean it I don’t want to talk about it.” Carey replied.
Zack and Cody leave their mother’s room. A few hours pass. Carey goes downstairs. Arwin has just finished fixing the men’s washroom. Carey sits on a chair in the lobby than pull her knees up to her chin and starts crying again. Arwin hears Carey crying and goes over.
“An angel is pretty as you doesn’t look so good with tears in her eyes.” Arwin said.
Carey looks up at Arwin.
“You’re got your voice back.” Carey replied.
Arwin nods his head.
“Yes I did thanks to the wonderful soup of yours.” Arwin said.
Carey dries her tears than gets to her feet and hugs Arwin.
“I was worried that you’d never get your voice back.” Carey replied.
Arwin smiles.
“I would never let that happen.” Arwin said.
Carey looks up at Arwin.
“Arwin, I love you.” Carey replied.
“Did you just say what I think you said?” Arwin asked.
“Yes I did.” Carey answered.
“What made you change your mind?” Arwin asked.
“I’m not sure but one day I didn’t feel that way about and the next I did.” Carey answered.
Arwin smiles again.
“This is a dream come true because I loved for you longest time but you always pushed away.” Arwin said.
“I’m sorry.” Carey replied.
“Will be my girlfriend?” Arwin asked.
“Yes I will.” Carey answered.
Arwin smiles and kisses on the forehead. Carey sighs. Arwin looks at Carey.
“Something wrong my love?” Arwin asked.
“I’m just a little cold that’s all.” Carey answered.
Arwin pulls Carey closer to him to keep her warm. Carey smiles.
“Is that better my love?” Arwin asked.
“Yes much better.” Carey answered.
A few more hours pass. Zack and Cody are getting ready for bed.
“Why isn’t mom back yet?” Cody asked.
“I don’t know.” Zack answered.
Cody and Zack go the bed. Carey tip-toes into the suite and gets ready for bed. All of a sudden there’s a knock on her balcony window. Carey looks over and sees Arwin. Carey opens the balcony window.
“What are you doing here?” Carey asked in a whisper.
“I can’t bare being away from you.” Arwin answered in whisper.
Carey smiles and lets Arwin in.
“Ok you can stay but you have be gone before my twins wake up in the morning because I don’t want them to find you here.” Carey said.

“Morning boys.” Carey replied a smile.
“What’s got you in such a happy mood so early?” Zack asked.
Carey sighs deeply.
“You’ll find out soon but only when I’m ready to tell you.” Carey answered.
Cody and Zack go to school. Carey goes down the basement where Arwin is. Carey walks over to Arwin and rests her head on his shoulder.
“Hi.” Carey said.
“Did the boys go to school?” Arwin asked.
“Yeah they did.” Carey answered.
Arwin smiles than Carey and him go up to her suite. They sit on the couch and starts kissing passionately. They kiss for seems forever than Carey breaks the kiss.
“Are you ok my love?” Arwin asked.
Carey shakes her no.
“No, I’m cold again.” Carey answered.
Arwin gets a worried a look than pulls the blanket off the back of the couch down and wraps Carey up in it.
“Is that better my love?” Arwin asked.
“Yes it’s much better.” Carey answered.
Arwin pulls Carey close and Carey cuddles up to him than falls asleep. Arwin smiles than kisses Carey on the forehead. A few hours later Carey wakes up then looks at the clock.
“The boys will be home soon so you better go.” Carey said.

“What are you doing here?” Zack asked.
“I have a special note for your mother.” Esteban answered.
Zack takes the note from Esteban than gives to his mother. Carey opens the note and reads than her eyes widen.
“Wow, I knew that he was deep but I didn’t know he was that deep.” Carey said.
“Who are you talking about mom?” Cody asked.
“That’s a secret.” Carey answered.
Esteban clears his throat.
“What’s your answer to the question at the bottom?” Esteban asked.

“No, of course I’m not.” Carey answered.
“Are you positive mom?” Zack asked.
“Yes I am.” Carey answered.
Carey walks into her room than comes a few minutes later wearing with hair with a clip.
“Why are you wearing your hair like that?” Zack asked.
“I just wanted to wear it different and now that it’s longer I can do more with it.” Carey answered.
Carey leaves the suite and goes to main lobby. Mr. Moseby sees Carey and walks over to her.
“What’s wrong with you lately?” Mr. Moseby asked.

“Oh wow.” Carey replied.
“I just hope that they like you.” Arwin said.
“Oh I’m sure that they will.” Carey replied.
A few hours pass. Ariel and Juan are in the lobby when suddenly some people come through the door. Ariel notices them right away than gets up and goes over to them.

Arwin suddenly comes over and hugs his mother. Juan looks at Aiden.
“Could I talk to you alone please?” Juan asked.
“Yeah sure you can.” Aiden answered.
Aiden and Juan go out of earshot.
“The reason I wanted to talk to you alone is because I wanted to ask you something.” Juan answered.
“Well go ahead because I’m listening.” Aiden said.

Ariel looks at Juan.
“You know what Juan I’m not sure this is going to work because I don’t like when you get angry than won’t talk me for a few days.” Ariel said.
Juan looks at Ariel.
“What bought this on?” Juan asked.
“I just had to get it out.” Ariel answered.
“Are you saying that you want to break up with me?” Juan asked.
“Yes that’s what I’m saying.” Ariel answered.
“Fine than good-bye forever.” Juan said as he leaves the Tipton Hotel.

Aaron hears and he starts grinning. Ashlee sees Aaron grinning.
“Why are you grinning?” Ashlee asked.
“I just heard Ariel tell Arwin that she likes Martin and I know for a fact that Martin likes her.” Aaron answered.
“How do you know that?” Ashlee asked.
“I know that he likes her because he told me.” Aaron answered.

Chapter 5
Tipton Karaoke Night

It’s been a few days since Ariel broke up with Juan. Ariel is the lobby thinking about Martin. Aaron walks over and sits next to his sister.
“I have a surprise for you sis.” Aaron said.
“Which is?” Ariel asked.
“It’s me.” A voice answered.
Ariel looks up to see Martin. Ariel gets to her feet and hugs Martin.
“Oh Marty, it’s been so long and I’ve missed you so much.” Ariel said.
“Yes I know it has been a long time and I missed you just as much maybe even more.” Martin replied.
Carey walks over to them and looks at Martin than at Aaron.
“Who is he?” Carey asked.
“This is my best friend Martin but he prefers to be called Marty.” Aaron answered.
“You’re first name is the same as my last name.” Carey said.
Martin smiles.
“That’s cool beautiful.” Martin replied.
Ariel elbows Martin in the shoulder.
“Watch it Marty.” Ariel said.
“Oops sorry.” Martin replied.
“Are you performing tomorrow night?” Aaron asked.
“I have a better idea than that.” Carey answered.
“Which is what?” Ariel asked.
“I was thinking about having a karaoke night at Below The Tip.” Carey answered.
“That’s actually a good idea.” Ariel said.
Arwin over hears and smiles to himself than leaves. Esteban sees Arwin going that walks over to him.
“What are you smiling about?” Esteban asked.
“I can’t say it’s secret for the karaoke night.” Arwin answered as he continues on his way.
Esteban smiles than goes off too. Esperanza sees Esteban leaving and wonders what he’s up to.
~Meanwhile up on 23rd floor in Carey and twin’s suite~
“What do you suppose that mom is hiding from us?” Cody asked.
“I don’t know it’s hard to say.” Zack answered.
“Well let’s put what we know together and maybe we can figure it out.” Cody said.
“For starters she’s happier, she sings more even in the shower and she always seems like she has a special glow.” Zack replied.
Cody starts smiling.
“She’s in love.” Cody said.
“Are you sure?” Zack asked.
“Yes I’m sure because those are all the signs of love plus one other one.” Cody answered.
“What other one are you talking about?” Zack asked.
“She’s always sighing in loving way.” Cody answered.
“Who is she in love with than?” Zack asked.
“I’m not sure.” Cody answered.
Carey walks through door at the moment than falls onto the couch and lets a happy sigh.
“We know that you’re in love with someone mom but we can’t figure out who.” Zack said.
“You’ll find when the time is right.” Carey replied.
“We want to know now.” Cody said.
Carey sighs.
“I’m not ready to tell you yet.” Carey replied as there’s knock on the door.
Cody opens the door to find Ariel on the other side.
“Can I help you?” Cody asked.
“I’d like to see your mother for a minute.” Ariel answered.
Carey walks over to the door.
“What is it?” Carey asked.
“My brother told me that he wants to see right away.” Ariel answered.
“Alright I’m coming.” Carey said.
“That’s good because he told me that he misses you.” Ariel whispered.
“How did you know us?” Carey asked.
“My brother and I have stronger sibling relationship.” Ariel answered.
Ariel and Carey leave than go the basement where Arwin is. Carey looks around the basement. Arwin is nowhere in sight.
“Where’s your brother?” Carey asked.
Arwin sneaks up behind Carey and wraps his arms around her. Carey just smiles than turns around in Arwin’s arms.
“I’m right here my love.” Arwin answered.
Carey smiles.
“Hi Arwin.” Carey replied.
“I have something for you.” Arwin said.
“What it is?” Carey asked.
“It’s a poem that I wrote for you.” Arwin answered.
“You wrote me a poem that’s so sweet.” Carey said.
“Would like me to read it to you?” Arwin asked.
“Yes I would love that.” Carey answered.
Arwin smiles than starts to read that he wrote for Carey.
When all seems lost for me
Your smile seems to turn all that around
You always know just what to say
To make me feel happy inside again
I sometimes wonder where have you been my entire life
I just can't get out my head
No matter how much I try
You are the hope for me and my whole world
I don't what I'd without you
“What did you think?” Arwin asked.
“That’s so beautiful.” Carey answered.
“You’re far more beautiful than that poem.” Arwin said.
Ariel smiles than leaves. A few hours pass.
“I should get going but I don’t want to.” Carey replied.
“Well than don’t.” Arwin said.
“I can’t stay here because Zack and Cody won’t know where I am.” Carey replied.
Arwin just smiles than pulls Carey down on his bed that he has and starts kissing her.
“Please stay.” Arwin said.
“Arwin, you know and both know this isn’t right.” Carey replied.
Carey goes to get up but Arwin pulls her back. Carey whimpers as Arwin starts kissing her again.
“I love you so much Carey Marie Martin.” Arwin said.
“How did you find out my middle name?” Carey asked.
“I have my ways my dear.” Arwin answered.
“ARWIN.” Carey yelled.
“Alright I looked it up on Mr. Moseby’s computer.” Arwin replied.
Carey starts to shiver. Arwin gets a worried look than pulls Carey close to him to keep her warm.
“I bet you wondering the reason why I get cold so much right.” Carey said.
Arwin nods his head.
“Why do you cold my dear?” Arwin asked.
Carey cuddles up to Arwin a little.
“I’ve got poor circulation and it’s been like since I was born.” Carey answered.
Arwin smiles a little.
“Well thanks for telling me and for now I’ll make sure you don’t get cold anymore.” Arwin said.
“I should have fallen for you sooner because you’re amazing and a little too good to be true but that’s what I love about you.” Carey replied.
Arwin smiles than kisses Carey. Carey gets to her feet.
“Where you going my dear?” Arwin asked.
“My suite that I share with my boys.” Carey answered.
“Can I come please?” Arwin asked.
“Arwin I love if you did but you can’t.” Carey answered.
“I can’t take this anymore because when we are apart it feels like there’s something missing deep inside my heart.” Arwin said.
Carey sighs than starts to leave. Carey suddenly faints in Arwin’s arms. Arwin gets a scared look than picks up Carey in his arms and carries up to her suite. Zack and Cody look at Arwin.
“Why are you carrying our mother?” Cody asked.
“She was down in the lobby than she fainted so I caught her in arms and carried her up here.” Arwin answered.
“What’s wrong with her?” Zack asked.
Carey opens her eyes.
“I’m sorry for worrying three of you but the truth is that I haven’t had any water today so I’m weak.” Carey answered.
Arwin glares at Carey.
“You should really have some water before you faint again.” Arwin said.
Carey nods her head than to kitchen and pours herself a glass of water than takes a sip. Arwin smiles a little than goes to leave.
“Wait Arwin.” Cody said.
Arwin stops than looks at Cody.
“What would you like?” Arwin asked.
“I’ve always been wondering since the day we were in the haunted suite what Q in Arwin Q. Hawkhauser stand Cody answered.
Arwin sighs.
“It stands for Quentin.” Arwin answered.
Zack and Cody busts out laughing. Carey shakes her and rolls her eyes. Carey glares at Zack and Cody.
“Zachary and Cody it’s not nice to make fun of his middle name.” Carey said.
Arwin smiles. Zack and Cody stop laughing.
“We’re so sorry Arwin.” Zack and Cody replied together.
“It’s ok just don’t let happen again and please keep my middle a secret from everyone else here.” Arwin said.
Carey sighs than sits on the couch. Arwin smiles than goes leave and looks at the boys.
“What?” Cody asked.
“Keep an eye on your mother and make sure that she’s going to be ok.” Arwin answered.
Zack and Cody nod their heads. Arwin leaves but not before giving Carey a secret wink. Carey starts giggle a little.
“What’s so funny mom?” Cody asked.
“It’s nothing.” Carey answered.
Arwin leaves. Cody and Zack go to bed so does Carey. Carey is the first one up in the morning. Carey gets dressed than goes down to the lobby and over to Mr. Moseby’s desk.
“What can I help you with Carey?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“I’m not performing tonight.” Carey answered.
“Why not?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“I came with some different for tonight which is to have a karaoke night.” Carey answered.
“That’s a good idea.” Mr. Moseby answered.
“I’m glad that you think so.” Carey said.
Carey walks back up to her suite than falls onto the couch and sighs. Zack come out his and Cody’s bedroom.
“What’s the matter mom?” Zack asked.
“I came with the idea to have a karaoke night here at the Tipton tonight but there’s just one problem.” Carey answered.
“What’s the problem?” Zack asked.
“I can’t figure out which song I want to sing.” Carey answered.
“Cody and I could help you figure it out.” Zack said.
“Thanks Zachary.” Carey replied.
Cody walks out the bedroom. Zack looks at Cody.
“Mom needs us to help her figure out a song to sing at the karaoke tonight.” Zack said.
“How about something for your secret boyfriend?” Cody asked.
“That’s what I was thinking but I can figure out which song.” Carey answered.
“That only way that will help you figure out a song to sing tonight is if you tell who your boyfriend is.” Cody said.
“I told the both of you that you’d find out when the time is right and that’s finally.” Carey replied.
“Well in that case we’re not helping figure out a song.” Zack said.
Zack and Cody leave the suite. Carey growls than walks down to the lobby. Ariel notices Carey’s angry mood than walks over to her.
“What’s wrong?” Ariel asked.
“I told boys that I couldn’t figure out what song to sing to my boyfriend tonight and the only way they will help me out is if I tell them who my boyfriend is.” Carey answered.
“Don’t think maybe you should?” Ariel asked.
“I want to tell them but I just don’t how they would take it.” Carey answered.
“Well I know you’ve got nothing to worry about because they really like my brother.” Ariel said.
“Do you think they like him a future step-father?” Carey asked.
“I’m not quite sure about that one.” Ariel answered.
Arwin overhears and just smiles. Zack and Cody come over to Arwin.
“What’s up Arwin?” Cody asked.
“Nothing boys.” Arwin answered.
“Are you going to sing tonight?” Zack asked.
“Yes as a matter of fact I am.” Arwin answered.
“What song are you singing?” Cody asked.
“I’m singing a song called You Are My Life for a special someone.” Arwin answered.
“I know who the special someone is.” Zack said.
“Who is it than?” Arwin asked.
“Our mother.” Zack answered.
“What makes you think it’s your mother?” Arwin asked.
“You have a major crush on her that’s why.” Zack answered.
Arwin sighs than walks off. Carey sees Arwin walk off and she runs after.
“Arwin.” Carey yelled.
Arwin turns around just as Carey reaches him.
“What would you like?” Arwin asked.
“I just wanted to know if you are ok.” Carey answered.
Arwin sighs again.
“Yes I am but I’d be a lot better if your boys would stop picking on me about my feelings for you.” Arwin said.
“I’m sorry Arwin.” Carey replied.
“What do you have to sorry dear?” Arwin asked.
“They have been trying figure out who my boyfriend is but I won’t tell them and please don’t call me that in lobby for fear that someone will hear you.” Carey answered.
“Sorry I forgot.” Arwin said.
Arwin goes to leave but Carey grabs his arm.
“I didn’t I mean it like that.” Carey replied as kisses Arwin on the cheek.
Arwin blushes a little than goes down the basement. Maddie seen the whole thing and she walks over to Carey.
“What was that all about?” Maddie asked.
“If I tell you have to promise not to tell anyone.” Carey answered.
Maddie smiles.
“You have my word because I won’t tell anyone.” Maddie said.
“The truth is that Arwin and I secretly dating.” Carey replied.
“Are you serious?” Maddie asked.
“Yes I’m dead serious Madeline.” Carey answered.
“How long have you secretly been dating?” Maddie asked.
“It’s been three weeks and the best three weeks of my whole life.” Carey answered.
Maddie smiles.
“Are you saying that he’s the one?” Maddie asked.
“Yeah that’s what I’m saying because I’ve never felt this way about anyone not even my ex-husband.” Carey answered.
“Are you going to sing a song to him tonight?” Maddie asked.
“Yes I am but first I need to figure out which one to sing.” Carey asked.
“How about I Get Weak?” Maddie asked.
“Thanks Maddie because that’s the perfect song.” Carey answered.
Maddie smiles.
“You’re welcome Carey.” Maddie said.
Arwin suddenly appears again. Zack and Cody walk over to Arwin.
“We’re sorry about early.” Zack replied.
“It’s alright Zack because I forgive you.” Arwin said.
Maddie smiles and Carey looks at her.
“Why are you smiling like that?” Carey asked.
“He’s really good with them and they really like him.” Maddie answered.
“Yeah I know they do that’s why I hope when they find out about us that they will happy.” Carey said.
Arwin looks over at Carey and smiles. A few hours pass and it’s nearly time for the karaoke night at Below the Tip. Carey can’t figure out what to wear.
“What’s wrong mom?” Zack asked.
“I can’t figure out what to where to the karaoke.” Carey answered.
All of a sudden there’s a knock on the door. Cody opens it to find Ariel on the other side.
“What are you doing here?” Cody asked.
“I have something for your mother.” Ariel answered.
Carey walks over to the door.
“What it is?” Carey asked.
“It’s this.” Ariel answered as gives Carey a rose pin.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.” Carey said.
“Yeah I know and you can thank my brother for it later on.” Ariel replied.
“How did he afford this?” Carey asked.
“Employee Discount of course.” Ariel answered.
“Tell him that I love it just as much as I love him.” Carey said.
“I will do that and see you later.” Ariel replied.
“Wait.” Carey said.
“Why?” Ariel asked.
“I can’t figure out what to wear tonight so could you help me please.” Carey answered.
“What did have in mind to wear?” Ariel asked.
“Something that will blow your brother away and make love even more if that’s actually possible.” Carey answered.
Ariel and Carey go to Carey’s closet. Ariel takes out a dress that Carey just bought.
“How about this one?” Ariel asked as she holds it up.
“That will work.” Carey answered.
Ariel smiles than leaves. Carey goes into the bathroom and changes. Carey comes out a few minutes later.
“Wow mom, you really pretty.” Cody said.
“Thanks Cody.” Carey replied.
Zack, Carey and Cody walk to Below the Tip. Mr. Moseby gets up on the stage.
“We are having a karaoke night instead of Carey singing for a change and first up is Arwin Hawkhauser.” Mr. Moseby said.
Carey smiles. Arwin walks up on the stage.
“The song that I’m going to be singing is You Are My Life and this dedicated to someone very special in my life.” Arwin said.
The music starts up. Arwin takes the microphone and starts to sing along.
Once all alone
I was lost in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
You suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before but now it’s clear
You took away the fear
You brought me back to life
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You’re my daytime my nighttime
My world
You’re my life
Now I wake up everyday
With this smile upon my face
No more tears, no more pain
‘Cause you love me
You help me understand
That love is the answer to all that I am
And I’m a better man
You taught me by sharing your live
You gave me strength
When I wasn’t strong
You gave me hope when all hope is lost
You opened my eyes when I couldn’t see
Love was always here waiting for me
Arwin winks at Carey which makes her blush a little than walks off the stage.
Carey walks up on the stage.
“The song that I’m going to sing is called I Get Weak.” Carey replied.
The song starts. Carey takes the microphone and starts to sing along.
When I'm with you, I shake inside
My heart's all tangled up
My tongue is tied...it’s crazy
Can't walk can’t talk
Can't eat cant sleep
Oh I’m in love...oh I’m in deep...cuz baby
With a kiss you can strip me defenseless
With a touch I completely lose control
All that’s left of my strength is a memory
Whoa...
I...get weak when I look at you
Weak when we touch
I can't speak when I look in your eyes...
I get weak when you're next to me
Weak from this love
I’m in deep when I look in your eyes...
I...get weak...
I get weak
Romantic eyes, persuasive lips
The helpless heart just can't resist their power
You know you've got a hold of me
You know you've got me where i want to be..
Cuz lover...
Like a wave you keep pulling me under
How ill ever get out of this, I don’t know
I just know that there's no way to fight it...
Whoa...oh...
I...get weak when I look at you
Weak when we touch
I can't speak when I look in your eyes...
I get weak when you're next to me
Weak from this love
I'm in deep when I look in your eyes...
I...get weak...
I get weak!
I get weak!
Whoa...oh...whoa...oh.... whoa...oh
I...get weak when I look at you
Weak when we touch
I can't speak when I look in your eyes...
I I I I....get weak when you're next to me
Weak from this love
I I I I... can't speak when I look in your eyes...
Cody and Zack’s eyes widen.
“Wow, I’ve never heard mom sing that kind of song before she must really be in love this time.” Cody said.
Esperanza walks up the stage.
“I would like to sing a song called When I Saw You and I’d like to dedicate to a very special someone that works here at the Tipton.” Esperanza replied as she takes the microphone.
The song starts up and Esperanza starts to sing along.
Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me
Transcending space and time
And I was rendered still
There were no words for me to find at all
As I stood there beside myself
I could see you and no-one else
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same
Only once in a lifetime love rushes in
Changing you with the tide
And dawn's ribbon of light
Bursts through the dark
Wakening you inside
And I thought it was all untrue
Until there, all at once, I knew
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same
With no beginning
And without an end
You are the one for me
And it's evident
And your eyes told me so
Your eyes let me know
When I saw you
When I saw you
I could not breathe
I fell so deep
When I saw you
When I saw you
I'd never be
I'd never be the same
Ariel just smiles. Arwin looks at Ariel.
“Did you know that she could sing that?” Arwin asked.
“Yeah I did.” Ariel answered.
Esperanza goes back to her seat. Esteban walks up the stage. Maddie’s eyes widen in shock.
“Hello everyone, I would also like to sing a song tonight.” Esteban said.
“What song are you singing?” Cody asked.
“I’m going to sing Speechless and it’s dedicated to a very special someone that I happen really like.” Esteban answered.
Esteban takes the microphone than songs starts to play and he starts singing along.
Your love is magical
That's how I feel
But I have not the words here to explain
Gone is the grace for expressions of passion
But there are worlds and worlds of ways to explain
To tell you how I feel
But I am
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am far away
And nothing is for real
When I'm with you I'm lost for words
I don't know what to say
My head's spinning like a carousel
So silently I pray
Helpless and hopeless
That's how I feel inside
Nothing's real
But all is possible
If God is on my side
When I'm with you I'm in the light
Where I cannot be found
It's as though I am standing in
The place called Hallowed Ground
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am far away
And nothing is for real
I'll go anywhere and do anything
Just to touch your face
There's no mountain high I cannot climb
I'm humbled in your grace
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am lost for words
And nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
Though I'm with you
I am far away
And nothing is for real
Speechless, speechless
That's how you make me feel
(You are always in my heaaaaaart)
Though I'm with you
I am lost for words
And nothing is for real
Speechless
Your love is magical
That's how I feel
But in your presence I am lost for words
Words like
Like
I love you.
Esteban walks off the stage. Mr. Moseby walks up to the stage.
“Thank you all for coming.” Mr. Moseby said.

Chapter 6
The Truth Comes Out

It’s been a week since the karaoke night. Carey is just waking up.
Cody and Zack are standing over her.
“What is it boys?” Carey asked.
Cody crosses his arms and so does Zack.
“We want to know when you are planning to tell us who your secret boyfriend is.” Cody answered.
“I was thinking maybe today that way you won’t be bugging me anymore.” Carey said.
“Really?” Zack asked.
“Yes really Zachary.” Carey answered.
“It’s about time mom.” Cody said.
“Actually on second thought I’m going let you two figure it out.” Carey replied.
Carey walks down to the lobby. Mr. Moseby walks over to Carey.
“I was told to give this note and little box to you.” Mr. Moseby said.
Carey unfolds the note and reads it than opens the box to find a diamond necklace. London comes over to Carey.
“Wow that’s beautiful.” London said.
“Yeah I know it is and it’s from my boyfriend.” Carey replied.
“Why would he give you something like that?” London asked.
“Today is a special day for him and me.” Carey answered.
“Why is that?” London asked.
“It’s our 1 month anniversary.” Carey answered.
Mr. Moseby comes over. Carey looks at the door just as Arwin. Arwin walks over to them.
“Could you do me favor?” Carey asked looking at Arwin.
“Anything for you.” Arwin answered.
“Could you put this necklace on me please?” Carey asked in a whisper.
“As you wish my love.” Arwin answered in a whisper.
Arwin puts the necklace around Carey’s neck and clasps it. Arwin walks off to do his work. Zack and Cody walk into the lobby than over to where their mother is. Cody notices the necklace around their mother’s neck
“Where did you get that?” Cody asked.
“I got it from my boyfriend because as of today is been 1 month since we started dating.” Carey answered.
They are just standing around admiring the necklace. Arwin walks behind them.
“I love you Carey.” Arwin said as he goes by.
Carey shakes her head than smiles a little. All of a sudden Bob and Max walk into the hotel. They walk over to Zack and Cody.
“Do you two want to do something?” Bob asked.
“Yeah sure and let’s go to the game room.” Cody answered.
They all walk to the game room. Carey walks over to where Arwin is.
“Want to come up my suite with me?” Carey asked.
“Yeah sure.” Arwin answered.
Carey and Arwin go up to 23rd floor. Carey opens the door to her suite and they walk in. They sit on the couch. Arwin pulls Carey close and starts kissing her passionately. Carey just smiles. A few hours pass and they are still kissing. Zack and Cody walk through the door. Carey and Arwin don’t hear the door open because they are so caught up in their kiss. Cody stares at his mother and Arwin than looks at Zack.
“Do you see what I see?” Cody asked.
“Well if you mean our mother kissing Arwin than yeah I do.” Zack answered.
Cody and Zack walk over to the couch. Cody clears his throat which makes Carey and Arwin break their kiss. Carey sighs.
“Why were the two of you kissing?” Zack asked.
Carey looks at Arwin and he nods his head.
“We’ve in love that’s why.” Carey answered.
“Is Arwin your secret boyfriend?” Zack asked.
“Yes Zachary he is.” Carey answered.
Cody and Zack look at each other.
“You always said that you didn’t like Arwin that way.” Zack said.
“Well I didn’t at first but those feelings changed.” Carey replied.
Carey sighs than lays her head on Arwin’s shoulder. Arwin just smiles. Zack walks over to the door than opens and slams it behind him.
“What’s that all about?” Cody asked.
“I have no idea but he’ll get over it.” Carey answered.
“Shouldn’t you go talk to him my love?” Arwin asked.
“Nah, because he’ll will tell us what’s wrong when he’s ready.” Carey answered.
~Meanwhile down in the lobby~
Zack is sitting on the chair. Maddie walks over to him.
“What’s wrong Zack?” Maddie asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Zack answered.
“Wow it must serious because you didn’t call me sweet thing.” Maddie said.
“This is no time for be funny Madeline.” Zack replied.
“You’ve never called me by real name before either.” Maddie said.
Maddie sits down next to Zack. Zack sighs. Cody comes into the lobby.

“My problem is that mom is suppose to be with dad.” Zack answered.
“Why would they get back together?” Cody asked.
“I want them too.” Zack answered.
Carey walks over.
“Zack honey it’s time to move on.” Carey said.
“I don’t want to. I just want things be like they were before you and dad got divorced.” Zack replied.
Carey sighs. Arwin is close by watching and listening.
“You can’t always have things the way you want them.” Carey said.

“We were just talking about how it’s time to more on with our lives.” Carey answered.
“What do you mean?” Esteban asked.
“I think the best way would be show you.” Carey answered.
“How are you going to do that?” Arwin asked.
“That’s very simple by doing this.” Carey answered as pulls Arwin close and kisses him.
Arwin’s eyes widen in shock as well as everyone else. Maddie walks over and looks at Esteban.
“Where’s Esperanza?” Maddie asked.
“I’m not quite sure at the moment.” Esteban answered.
Esperanza comes behind Esteban and lays her head on his shoulder.
“I’m right here.” Esperanza said.
Esteban turns around and pulls Esperanza close than kisses her. Carey cuddles up to the Arwin.
“Are you cold again?” Arwin asked.
“Yeah I am but just a little.” Carey answered.
Arwin wraps his arms around Carey to keep her warm. Zack and Cody smile a little. London looks at Esteban and Esperanza who are still kissing.
“Will you two get a room please?” London asked.
Esteban and Esperanza break their kiss.
“Maybe we should do that.” Esteban answered.
Esperanza raises an eyebrow than runs off Esteban so that they can be alone. Mr. Moseby turns his attention back to Arwin and Carey. Arwin is still holding Carey in his arms.
“What’s up with the two of you lately?” Mr. Moseby asked.
Arwin sighs. Cody smiles.
“They are in love.” Cody answered.
“Since when does your mother have feelings for Arwin?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“I’m not sure on that one.” Cody answered.
Carey sighs.
“Well if you want I can tell you all.” Carey said.
~Flashback to almost 5 months ago~
Carey is up in the suite she shares with the twins. Zack comes through the door followed by Cody. They notice their mother.
“What’s the matter mom?” Cody asked.
“I’m not really sure.” Carey answered.
Carey gets to her feet than walks down to the lobby. Mr. Moseby comes over.
“Are you still singing tonight?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“I’m not sure really.” Carey answered.
“Why not?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“I have a bit of sore throat.” Carey answered.
Arwin walks over to where Carey and Mr. Moseby are talking. Carey looks at Arwin.
“What it is Arwin?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“I fixed the elevator.” Arwin answered.
“Thank you Arwin.” Mr. Moseby said.
Arwin leaves. Carey watches Arwin go.
“Wow I never realized how incredibly handsome Arwin is. Hold on here I can’t be thinking that or maybe I can. I don’t believe this I’m actually falling in love with Arwin Hawkhauser.” Carey thinks to herself.
Mr. Moseby waves his hand in front of Carey’s face.
“What are you think about in there?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“It’s nothing important really.” Carey answered.
“Are you sure?” Mr. Moseby asked.
“Yes I’m sure.” Carey answered.
“I somehow don’t believe that but obviously you’re not going to tell so what’s the point.” Mr. Moseby said.
Mr. Moseby walks off.
“I’m too shy to tell Arwin how I really feeling so I’m going to wait for the perfect to let my feelings for him out.” Carey thinks to herself.
Arwin is doing some other work for Mr. Moseby. Carey finds herself watching his every move. Arwin gets the feeling that he’s been watching than turns to look but Carey looks away.
“That’s so weird because I had the strangest feeling that someone was watching me or well I must have been mistaken.” Arwin said.
Arwin continues with his work. Carey looks at Arwin.
“Wow he’s incredibly handsome and gorgeous. I don’t know why I didn’t notice it sooner.” Carey thinks to herself.
~End of Flashback~
“You really think that I am handsome?” Arwin asked.
Carey nods her head.
“Yes I do.” Carey answered.
Arwin tightens his grip on Carey and starts kissing her.
“I love you Carey Marie Martin.” Arwin said.
Carey smiles.
“I love you too Arwin Quentin Hawkhauser.” Carey replied.
The hour pass. Carey is sleeping on the fold out couch when suddenly there’s a knock at the door. Carey gets to her feet and opens the door to find Arwin standing on the other side.
“What are you doing here?” Carey asked.
“I missed you so much and I wanted to see you.” Arwin answered.
“Well than come on in.” Carey replied.
Arwin comes inside changes into his pajamas.
“Would you like to stay here tonight?” Carey asked.
“Yeah sure I would and this time I don’t have to leave like that last time because the boys know about us now.” Arwin answered.
“That’s right they do.” Carey said as she climbs back into bed.
Arwin climbs into bed with Carey and pulls her into his embrace. They fall asleep like that dreaming about their future. Esteban and Esperanza are sleeping in each other’s embrace dreaming about their future.
