Freddie

…

I look into her eyes and get down on one knee. She goes completely shocked.

" Freddie," She says.

" Will you Ellie Sitwell marry me?" I ask. Ellie doesn't speak for two minutes.

" I SLEPT WITH MARK!" She yells.

" You what?" I yell standing up. We're in the middle of a park at night and I just purposed to her and turns out she slept with my incompetent secretary.

" When did this happen?" I ask with a tone she gets scared of.

" It was two weeks ago when you went to your conference in New York. I got lonely and I bumped into Mark when coming back from Old Mike's with the girls who got me drunk beyond imaginable." Ellie says.

" Why did you choose to tell me now?" I ask. She takes a big gulp.

" Cause I think I love him." She says.

" Is that why Mark always leaves during lunch? To bang you?" I ask demandingly.

" I'm sorry!" I close my eyes.

" My stuff is already at Sandy's." Ellie says.

" Your gonna leave. Just like that." I say.

" We're twenty-seven Freddie for crying out loud! We have been dating for three years." That when she realizes what today is. " Since today. Today is the thirteenth right?" I nod my head. She wraps her arms around me. " I am so sorry." She kisses me on the cheek and walks away. I watch her curly brown hair once up and down as she walks. She looks at me and her green eyes well up.

I walk to my apartment building. I take the elevator and get out on the tenth floor. I pull out my keys and open the door and switch on the lights. Everything of Ellie's is gone.

My life is fucked up. I throw my keys in there usual spot on the hallway table and go straight to bed. I look up at the ceiling.

I couldn't sleep that night.

I get up and dressed for work. I stop by Starbucks and get me some breakfast. I walk into my office building. Jenson Inc.

Everyone greets me like usual except for Mark. I have a bone to pick with him. I walk into my office with the big glass windows and I call him in.

" What up Freddie?" He asks. He's twenty-three, completely incompetent, and humps every woman that walks into this building. I point at him to take a seat. I put my hands out in front of me and look at him.

" Do you know what happened last night?" I ask.

" You purposed to Ellie which she said yes. Therefore, your in a happy mood." He says. I look into his eyes.

" Do I seem happy?" I ask angerily.

" No."

" Ellie told me everything. She said no and is living with Sandy now. You know the girl you banged in the paper closet."

" Oh yeah her."

" Well, I can't have you in this building. I already spoke with Mr. Jenson. He doesn't like your input here. Your fired." I say.

" What? You can't fire me!"

" I don't care if he is your uncle, Mark!" I look at him. " Get out." I say in a stern voice. He walks out of my office and I watch him put his supplies into a box and leave. I hear a knock at my door.

" Freddie." Nina says from the front desk.

" Yeah." I say.

" Do you need a secretary?" Nina asks. She has always been a good friend of mine. She always has good advice and says yes to anything you ask from her except for sex and blow jobs.

" Yeah. I do." I say.

" Uh oh."

" Uh oh what?"

" You said I do. As in a depressed I do as meaning that Ellie didn't say yes." She says.

" How you dream minds?" I ask sarcastcally.

" Hey! I got a therapist diploma but it only got me here working at Jenson's Incorporated." She replies.

" Let me use my talent." She says and sits on my desk. She has messy brown hair and blue eyes. She's five foot three and has curves. She's not my type. Not to mention she has her boyfriend the artist. My phone rings and she picks it.

" Freddie Benson's office, how may I help?" She asks over the phone. " Yeah he's right in front of me." I take the phone and mouth " Who is it?"

" Carly Shay." She whispers. She knows my past of lovers. Like Carly. After iCarly we all went our separate ways but we still keep in touch but I haven't spoken to Sam for years. Never told me she ended up but I wouldn't be surprised if she was working at 'Chili My Bowl'.

" Hey Carly." I say into the phone.

" Freddie! I was wondering did you get the invite?" Carly asks.

" The invite to what?" I ask smiling.

" To my wedding!"

" Oh my gosh! Your getting married?"

" Yeah!"

" Who to?" I ask. A small silence.

" Pee Wee loving Bad Boy." She replies in an embarrassing tone.

" Your marrying Griffin?" Griffin and I are close like brothers. Same with Carly and I, a brother and sister relationship.

" I can't believe it my self. We have only been dating for a few months but he purposed a month ago and I sent you an invite but you never replied so I thought,"

" Carly I'm coming to the wedding. I promise." I say happily.

" Great! It's this Saturday at St. Thomas Moore church. You know where it is?"

" I live in Seattle I know where it is."

" Awesome! And you need to bring a gift, we got enough but we will need some big Cs for the honeymoon." She says laughing. That is a wonderful disturbing image implanted into my brain.

" I'll wrap it up in green paper and a yellow tie." I say.

" Okay! See yeah then!"

" Oh wait."

" Yeah?"

" Is Sam gonna be there?"

" Yeah."

" Cool."

" You'll be walking with her down the isle. Your the Best Man!"

" Sweet! Why isn't it a friend of Griffin's?" I ask.

" It's a long story." I look over to Nina she whispers to me,

" One down and two more to go." Nina says and walks to her new desk. Carly hangs up the phone and I just to put my hand in my suit pocket and find the ring in it's box. I put it back in there.
