Freddie's POV

Sam's mouth gaped like a fish , why did I just blurt that out? For weeks I tried to stay silent, but it was so hard! How can you stay silent when the one you love can be so undeniable cute? Its almost like she knows I love her and is purposely messing with me. I lay my head in my hands, wishing I had a time machine, so I could go back and stop myself from saying it. Then a wicked idea popped in my head, it was mean and kinda cruel but it just might work. I plastered on my biggest cheesiest smile and lasered on to the still gaping Sam.

"What wrong with you Princess Puckett? Fatcake got your tongue?" I said smoothly, while I started back typing on my laptop.

"Y-you just said..." She was still gobsmacked. She took a calming breath and started again. "You just said you loved me. What do you mean by that?"

Freddie's fingers hovered above the keyboard, he sure hoped this worked. He laughed nervously then faced Sam with a joking look.

"No I didn't, are you hearing things Puckett?" He raised an eyebrow "Do you like me or something?"

"What! No! What gave you that – No! " Sam was a volcano of No's, and Absolutely Not's, my plan worked out perfectly, I chuckle to myself then return to my work.

Sam's POV

God what is my problem? Now I'm hearing weird things!

"Did you really hear the wrong thing? " a voice in my head piped up.

"You know what he said "The girl I LOVE", L-O-V-E ,LOVE he loves you!"

"Shut up, Shut up, SHUT UP!" I thought screamed back at it. As this argument raged on in my head my facade was calm and passe.

"Yeah , you being in love with me, that's rich." I laughed nervously .

A shadow of something I couldn't quite place passed over his cute features. Cute? Did I just say cute? That's it! Any non-platonic feelings I felt towards the nub ,I squashed them down into the deepest recessives of my heart. I grabbed my smoothie yanked the top off and gulped down the rest of the savory sweet concoction. Then I grabbed my burger and finished it in two mammoth bites, Freddie's followed soon after. I was reaching for my fries when his voice stopped me.

"But, what would you did if I did love you?" He asked offhandedly , while twiddling his thumbs."Like fro real, not as friends." His eyes didn't meet mine.

My mouth gaped bigger then Gibby's love for anti-bacterial soap, my fries fell forgotten from my lips, and on to the Groovy Smoothie floor. I told you so.

Freddie's POV

Seeing the shock register on Sam's face, I quickly back track. "Only hypothetically, of course."

I said cautiously. Amazingly Sam hadn't beaten the tar out of me. She was awfully quiet over there, Did she figure out my secret? Or was she thinking of an actual answer to my question?

Truthfully it was torture just sitting there in silence. A few seconds, felt like millenniums, I glanced back at her , from the corner of my eye, and saw her staring intently at my fires. I sighed and pushed them toward her, she happily scooped them into her mouth., on munched on them joyously.

What was the point of trying? I thought to myself smiling. My emotions battled each other inside of me. I was frustrated because I couldn't get a straight, although hypothetical, answer of her. But on the other hand I was happy just sitting here across from her. I shook my head, and looked down at my coding notes, I was glad Sam couldn't read my mind. That would be a whole other problem.

Sam mumbled something incoherent, it was hard to understand her with fries in her mouth.

"What?" I said

"I said . I'd probably be happy. I don't know I why, I just would . Don't read too much into it, or I will give you a Texas Super Wedgie, nub"

The last part she had said as venomously as she could muster with the fries in her mouth. A blush started to creep up her neck, which she quickly hid with her beautiful strawberry blonde hair.

I felt like running around and giving high fives every person there. Or jumping up and down and fist pumping the air. I could fill libraries with the books I'd write,about what I wanted to do when she said that. Instead I sat quietly in my chair, and nodded slowly.

Sam eyes narrowed and her blush deepened. "What are you smiling at Fredwardo?" she said.

"Smiling? I'm not smiling." I said while lifting my hand to my face to check.

"Damn it, I am smiling.", I said quietly to myself, I quickly wiped the smile off my face and replaced it with a non emotional mask. But it was too late she had already seen it.

"Is there something you want to tell me Freddie?' She said softly.

I sigh and look away from her and out the window. Carly and Gibby were dragging a big glass box into the back of a truck. Ah a welcome distraction, I stared intently at the box as if I was expecting it to jump up and do cart wheels. I knew if I looked anywhere in Sam's vicinity I would blurt out the truth, and ruin everything. And I couldn't let that happen . not again.

Ooh What Happened last time? Looks like you'll have to wait and find out! ;) OK. Virtual Cookies AND Cupcake for those who Review!
