Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly, blah blah.

I had spent the night at Carly's, my mom was bringing over some new boyfriend and I wanted to actually get some sleep. But just as my dream turned into delicious bacon she was jumping up and down on the bed to get me to wake up. "Sam get up! Sam get up!"

If she wasn't my best friend I would have broken her arm or something, but I sat up and looked at the clock, almost noon, I never get up before noon on a Saturday.

"Sam you have to get up, you got an e-mail. I accidentally read a little of it, it's important."

I yawned and mumbled something, but I was interrupted by Carly, "Sam that is so unladylike." I shook my head, my hair was a mess, blonde strands facing every which direction in a tangled heap. I slowly walked to Carly's video screen and sat down in front of it. Clicking a few buttons on the mouse I pulled up the screen she had minimized.

Carly sat on her bed and I was glad she could not see the bright flush that rose to my cheeks. 'Freddie Loves Me?' was my only thought. I swallowed hard, this was not going to be easy. A sudden pang of fear crept through my brain and grabbed a tight hold. What if it was a prank? I have pulled so many on him, but this would be the garlic powder of pranks, I could not forgive him if he was lying to me. Normally I wouldn't care, I would just delete something like this and pretend it never happened, but I had been noticing those things. I had noticed he searched for me first, it made my heart swell when I saw him smile even if I was alone in a room. My heart and my brain were saying two different things, and I for once in my life, went with my heart, which was ready to burst out of my chest.

Dear Frednub,

Are you pranking me? I refuse to be your garlic powder. If this is a prank, you will be eating through a straw the rest of your life.

I hit the send button and waited for a minute. Freddie's response came almost immediately. I clicked on it while holding my breath thinking how many bones I would break.

Dear Sam,

…..

"What the chiz? It's blank. I swear I'll kill him" A knock on Carly's bedroom door made us both jump, I had actually forgotten she was even in the room.

"Come in" Carly yelled as she sat on her bed. When Freddie opened the door however, she cleared her throat and murmured something about a shower and left the room. Freddie was dressed in a black penny tee with the words 'Corndog King' in red and a pair of dark blue jeans.

I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, I could barely breathe as he crossed the room to stand in front of me. I was still sitting so he was looking down at me. Putting his hand on the side of my face he leaned over and kissed me. I stood and wrapped my arms around his neck. I had to think he was partially crazy. Here I was in my pajamas, which consisted of my favorite 'Princess Puckett' penny tee, and flannel pants with pigs on them; with my hair a mess, I haven't showered or brushed my teeth, and yet he didn't seem to care.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in tightly. Gently nipping my bottom lip until I allowed his tongue to superficially explore, we pulled apart, both breathing a little hard.

"Is…that…answer enough for you?" he breathed out

I nodded, dumbstruck, I couldn't find the words. "I love you Sam, I'll see you downstairs." He kissed me again before he turned and very casually walked out of the room. I smiled, unable to control the goofy looking grin as he closed the door behind him.

A/N: True love, is when that special person can see you at your worst (i.e. when you are sick, have no makeup, just woke up, or have dragon breath) and can still truthfully say they love you.
