Chapter one: One Month

"Attraction is not a choice."

~Brad103

A month. Sam and Freddie have been dating each other for a month.

"Carly, that's enough eye make up. Gosh, I'll end up looking like a racoon," Sam scolded her best friend. Carly had offered many times to do Sam's make up for her and Freddie's one monthiversary, and Sam wanted Carly to stop nagging her about it, so she agreed last minute. Well, last hour.

"Seriously, quit it. You're going to make my eye lids too heavy," Sam whined.

Sam swatted Carly's hand away.

"Sorry," Carly sighed as she put down all of her make up supplies. "I just enjoy doing people's make up. It's fun."

Sam stood up and smoothed out her dress. Yes, Sam Puckett can wear a dress when she wants. "Well, I don't want him to think I'm trying too hard. I like to keep it somewhat natural."

"Which is why I went with a light pink, almost nude lip color. You look great. I know Freddie will think so too." Carly smiled to herself. It had taken her a while to get used to Sam and Freddie dating, but she's grown to think they are the most adorable couple in the world.

Sam looked at herself in the full length mirror in Carly's room. "Man, I'm never getting this dressed up again. I feel way too girly. Maybe it's not too late to quickly change into something nice that goes with pants." Sam turned around to Carly with a hopefull expression.

Carly shook her head. "No. You look amazing. And I paid for that dress because you thought it was 'nice' but refused to spend money on it, so you're going to waer it tonight. It wasn't that cheap, you know."

Sam slowly put her heels on. "Okay, these are the most uncomfortable things in the world."

"Oh, hush up," Carly said. "You'll be sitting down most of the time anyway."

The doorbell rang and a smile spread on Sam's face. "He's here. Time to go eat."

Carly and Sam walked down the steps swiftly, but Carly stopped at the bottom of the stairs while Sam walked over to answer the door. She took a deep breath and then opened the front door to the Shay apartment, revealing Freddie decked out in an untucked white button up tee shirt, dark-wash jeans, and black sneakers. He was holding a single rose with a smirk on his face.

Sam snatched the rose from his hand and sniffed it. "It's fake."

He kept smirking at her. "I know. You told me last week that you hate real flowers 'cause Carly told you that she heard someone say that bugs make poo on them, so I got you a fake one. You like it?"

"It's the thought that counts."

"You look beautiful, Sam," Freddie said honestly. He had been wanting to tell her since she opened the door.

She tried her best not to blush at his compliment. It's nice when someone you really like calls you beautiful. It gave her more confidence. She eyed Freddie up and down. "You clean up well too, Benson."

She smiled as he held out his hand for her to grab. She took hold of it and they started walking out of the apartment, all smiles.

Carly had a grin on her face. She never thought her two best friends would fall in love. Sometimes their PDA is annoying, other times it's too cute. She just hopes Sam doesn't get into any trouble on this date.

Carly plopped down on the couch and turned the television on. She couldn't wait for Sam and Freddie to come back so she could hear all about their special one monthiversary.
