Chapter Three
When Friday morning rolled along Freddie was up, showered and dressed for school. He left his apartment early, making sure that he didn't wake his mother in the process. He wanted to surprise Sam by picking her up from her house for school. He also wanted to take her to get breakfast and then he planned to ask her out on a date. They would go on their date right after the show. He was hoping she would say yes.
When Freddie got to Sam's house he knocked on her door. A few minutes later Sam answered the door.
"Freddie? Why are you here early?" asked Sam when she saw her boyfriend on her doorstep. Not that she wasn't happy to see Freddie before school or anything she was just curious to why he was there.
"I came to pick you up for school," said Freddie.
"Really?" said Sam with a smile.
"Yeah. And i wanted to take you out for breakfast before school," Freddie added.
Sam smiled before she pulled Freddie into her arms for a hug and a kiss on the lips. Freddie kissed her back before they pulled away.
"So i take that as a yes?" Freddie said after they pulled away.
Sam nodded. "It's a yes Benson. But do you mind waiting for a couple of minutes?" Sam asked him as she showed him into her house. "I'm not even dressed yet."
"Sure," Freddie replied. He looked at Sam and saw her wearing a Steelers nightgown. He smirked. Sam looked at her nightgown and blushed.
Freddie saw her blush and kissed her cheek.
"Don't be embarrassed, hon. I like your nightgown," said Freddie. "Not to mention I'm also a steelers fan too."
Sam smiled. "Thanks," she said. "I'll go get dressed. I'll be back in about ten minutes."
"Take your time, babe," said Freddie as he gave her a wink. Sam laughed and blushed more before she scampered off to her bedroom. Freddie sat down on Sam's blue sofa as he waited for her. He picked up a magazine that was on a night-stand nearby and decided to skim through it as he waited for Sam.
When Sam was dressed and ready to go, she grabbed her book bag before she left her room. She smiled at Freddie when she entered the living room.
"Ready?" he asked when he looked up at her.
"Yes," said Sam. "Do I look okay?" she then asked him.
Freddie stood up and observed his girl. She was wearing a yellow skirt with a white tank-top and her blonde hair was down in and around her face. She also had light makeup on.
"You look great Sam," said Freddie. "You should wear that on our date tonight."
"What date?" asked Sam.
"Well, I was hoping that you and I could go out to dinner today after the show," Freddie told her.
"I mean, its okay if you don't want to. We could just hangout at my house and just watch movies or-" Sam cut Freddie off with a kiss on the lips. Freddie, surprised by the kiss but also thrilled, kissed San back happily as he wrapped his arms around her. He deepened the kiss before they pulled away.
"I want to out to dinner tonight with you Freddie," said Sam. "I would love it."
Freddie grinned. "Good because I'm not going to take no for an answer. We were going to go even if you would have said no," he said with a smile.
Sam laughed. "Well, I wouldn't have said no anyways because I want to spend time with you tonight," she said.
"Good. Because i want to spend time with you to, Sam," said Freddie.
They kissed before they left her house. Then they walked to a diner that was only a couple of blocks from Sam's house. When they reached the diner, they walked inside and over to a table. Sam sat down while Freddie went to the counter to order their breakfast. He came back over to her a few minutes later.
"I hope you don't mind that I order us an ice cream sundae to share after we eat our breakfast," said Freddie as he sat down across from Sam.
"No i don't mind at all," said Sam. "I love foood."
Freddie chuckled. "That you do," he said.
while they talked about school and the show, Gibby and his new girlfriend, Maria walked into the diner. Gibby saw Freddie and Sam and he froze in place. 'Sam and Freddie? Dating? No way' he thought before he walked over to them, Maria in tow.
"Hey guys," said Gibby.
Freddie turned away from his conversation with Sam to look at Gibby. His eyes widened as he saw his friend who he didn't tell that he was going out with Sam.
"Uh, Hey Gibby," said Freddie.
"Who's the girl, Gibby?" asked Sam.
"My name is Maria," said the tall brunette that stood next to Gibby.
"Hi," said Sam.
"Hi," said Maria.
"Freddie can i speak to you alone for a minute?" asked Gibby as he glared at his friend. Freddie nodded before he left the table with Gibby. They walked over to a pinball machine that was in the corner of the diner.
As soon as they reached the pinball machine, Gibby slammed his fist onto it. This made Freddie jump slightly.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were going out with Sam Puckett?" Gibby asked Freddie. "We're friends man at least you can tell me who you are going out with."
"Look Gibbs I'm sorry that i didn't tell you. I was afriad if i did tell you that you would tell Carly," said Freddie.
"Haven't you guys told Carly?" asked Gibby.
Freddie shook his head. "No," he said.
"But she's like your best friend. You have to tell her," said Gibby.
"We can't tell her. Sam is afriad of what Carly would say or do. We will tell her but you know, when the time is right," said Freddie.
"I know that we have to tell her because if we don't she's going to find out on her own. And then she will be hurt," he also added.
"ANd when will the time be right man? Carly has the right to know that you guys are dating," said Gibby.
"I know," sighed Freddie. "We will tell Carly. Just, not now."
"Alright. But if she finds out before you guys decide to tell her, she's going to be really hurt," Gibby told Freddie.
"I know," said Freddie. "Which is why i don't want to tell Carly because i don't want her to be hurt but she's going to get hurt either way. So i Have to tell her. Maybe not now, but me and sam will tell her. Soon."
"Good," said Gibby. "So..how long have you guys been going out?" he asked a few minutes later.
"A week," said Freddie.
"Really? That's cool. I've been with Maria for a week too," said gibby.
"Nice man," said Freddie.
"Yeah it is," said Gibby. "She's hot. We have a movie date tomorrow night."
"Cool. Sam and I have a date tonight right after the show," said Freddie.
"Nice. Have fun," said Gibby.
Freddie grinned. "Oh we will man," he said with a smirk.
Gibby laughed. Then he and Freddie walked back over to their girls. Then Gibby and Maria walked back over to their table and Sam and Freddie started to eat their breakfast. After they ate and paid for their meal, they left the diner and headed for school.
