Freddie's Pov
1 Month Later
Well what can I say, the last month has been the best month of my whole entire life. Today is exactly one month since Sam and I became a couple, and things couldn't be better. Now I may be the happiest I have ever been but that doesn't mean the last 4 weeks haven't come with its struggles. Sam and I don't fight as much as we used to do, but like we talked about with us keeping it to ourselves we still fight in front of others. Then there is the problem with keeping it a secret, now don't get me wrong I still think it was the right decision to keep it a secret; our friends, our Web Show and our school would be to interfering and if we didn't have a solid foundation when we came out what was stopping them from breaking us up. But if we knew that we were good together, nothing could break us up and we would be able to survive people's scrutiny. But it has come with its problems. Take 3 weeks ago, we had only been going out just over a week and we were hanging out at her place, her mom wasn't home and we didn't want to risk running into Carly or Spencer over at mine.
"So I was thinking we could drive up to Olympia on Saturday and go out for a date. People at school wouldn't be there and if we made ourselves look a bit different people wouldn't recognise us from iCarly." Sam and I were cuddling on her sofa watching some re-run of a 90s show not that we were really paying attention.
"Sounds great baby. Should we say meet at mine at 5:30 that should give us enough time to get up there for a reasonable dinner time."
"I think we should celebrate us coming up with a plan."
"Oh should we, now what did you have in mind?" She raised her eyebrow up at me in a suggestive manner, "I think you know." I smirked back at her and just as I was leaning down to kiss her, her bleeding phone went off. A big 'Carly' filled the screen, I pulled back and groaned.
"Hey Carly, what's up?" Sam gave me an apologetic look, I gave her a small smile trying to put across that it was ok and not her fault.
"No I said I couldn't come round me and my mom were going to therapy and then shopping."
"Yes… I know …. What …. Fine I'll be there in 20 minutes…. See ya." Sam groaned when she hung up.
"What do you mean you'll be there in 20 minutes?"
"Carly is being a drama queen apparently she complains when I am around all the time but the one day I decide to not go to hers I get complained at."
"What did she even need?"
"Oh I don't know she just said she had an emergency and being a best friend you can't not come over for that, it's in the job description."
"Well I could give you a lift since I have my car with me and it would only take 5 minutes to get there so we will just have to use these 15 minutes wisely." I gave her a small smile and raised an eyebrow.
"Well what are we waiting for?" She smiled at me and leaned forward and our lips met.
We pulled up into the parking garage of my building, still not happy about our afternoon being cut short. "If you go in and I will come up in 10 minutes so it doesn't look like we came in together."
"Ok, I'm really sorry about this, if I see an opportunity to leave I will make up some kind of excuse if not I'll text you to come over instead." I nodded slowly still with a sad smile. "Love you, see you later." She kissed me and started to get out of the car, I pulled her back kissed her again for a few minutes, once we parted "Love you too." I smiled and she finally left.
I leaned back into my chair and sighed I wish sometimes we could scream our relationship from the roof tops but then I think again knowing it's still best keeping it silent at the moment. I guess I would just have to wait.
After about 10 minutes I left the car park and went up to my apartment, while I was unlocking my door I heard yelling coming from the apartment across from me, Carly's, the same apartment my girlfriend had just entered. Being the nosey guy that I am I tried to listen to what was being said.
"NO!"
"Come on Sam it's just one date, you don't have to see the guy again if you don't hit it off. But I think you will."
"Carly how can you not understand the word, No! Was this really the emergency you called me over for?"
"Yes, because this is an emergency. I want you to be happy therefore emergency."
"I am happy, why do you think I need a boyfriend to be happy?"
"I don't I… Look I just know happy I am with Cameron and I want that for you."
"Carly, I love you and I understand you want to do something nice for me but I don't need you to set me up. When I find someone that I like, I can sort it myself. But if I ever get to the point that it's going nowhere I will come to you for help. Just please enough of the setting up, please."
"Fine. I will try to stop with the match making. But is there someone you like?"
"Carly!"
"Right right. Stopping."
"Why don't we just stop all of this bickering and watch a movie or something and move pass this."
"Ok sounds good, oh I got a new dvd the other day I'll run up and get it, it has action for you and romance for me so it should be a good balance. Be right back"
I heard Carly run upstairs so I decided to come in and talk to Sam. "Hey" Sam jumped and turned around, once she gained her composure she smiled, "Hey, did you happen to hear any of that?"
"Yeah, she called you over here to set you up. That seems crazy even for Carly."
"I know it's ridiculous. Why she thinks she always needs to meddle in my love life I will never know. I think I'm doing ok, granted it did take me 10 years to tell the guy I love that I do love him." She gave me a small smile, she quickly looked around the room and gave my cheek a small kiss. "Hey why don't you stay for the movie say your mom was driving you insane and you needed a break." We heard a noise and Sam made a B-line for the kitchen, while I made myself comfey on the couch.
"Sam I found the movie, sorry it took so long Spencer was playing on my computer again so I was telling him off. Oh Hey Freddie what are you doing here?"
"My mom was driving me insane so is it cool if I hang here for a while, she has got a new tick spray and I really don't want to deal with that right now."
"Fine by me, Sam?"
"Huh what, I was eating chicken" We both look round to see Sam sat at the kitchen table with a nearly bare chicken carcass. "Sam that was mine and Spencer's dinner"
"You're the one who invited me round for your "emergency" and you don't expect me to eat the food in the fridge, did you specify that I couldn't eat the contents of your fridge? No. So really it's your own fault. And anyway what do you want?"
"Freddie wants to know if he can stay and watch the movie with us. I said it was fine I was just wondering if you were alright with it."
"Ughh the doof is staying, fine as long as after the movie he takes me to get a smoothie on him." She raised her eyebrow at me, and I gave her my classic smirk back. "Fine. Even that's better than my mother right now."
"Great I'll put the movie on."
Now everything seems fine why would this be an issue for keeping it a secret? Well not being able to cuddle up with your girlfriend when sat next to each other being pressed together so close you could smell the perfume she wore. Or not being able to kiss ever while in the room together, or anything we had to be the same as we were before; which meant quick quips, insults and no romantic contact. But the worse part was when Carly decided to tag along to the smoothie because she's our best friend and why wouldn't she want to come. But when we were there the previous conversation came up because Cameron and his brother walked in.
"Oh hey babe. I didn't know you would be here." Cameron just walked over to our table, bringing his "brother" along with him. "Yeah Sam made Freddie buy her a smoothie, why don't you join us. Josh this is Freddie and this is Sam." Carly gestured to us, hopefully no one saw the fake smiles that were plastered on our faces. "Hi Sam, I've heard loads about you. Shame you couldn't make our date the other night. Is your mom ok?"
Sam and I looked at us confused mom? Her mom was fine. "My mom is fine why would there be something wrong with her?"
"Well Carly said you couldn't make our date the other night because you were looking after your mom because she had bad surgery."
"Oh did she now? Look Josh you seem like a nice guy but I'm really not looking for anything right now. Carly was just hoping I would change my mind." Sam turned her head and glared at her best friend.
"Oh it's ok, maybe one day then."
"Maybe. But now this has gotten sufficiently awkward I am going to go, my mom will still want to go shopping. See you later." Sam got quickly up a left the smoothie, not before giving Carly another dirty look.
So you can see how all of this ended Carly ran after Sam they argued made up and spent the rest of the day together.
And that is what the last month has been like. One minute I would be hanging out with my girlfriend and she would get a call with an "emergency". Carly did keep some of her promise she did cut down how many dates she tried to set Sam up on but the odd few kept slipping through the cracks. The only reason I think Sam was forgiving her was because we were keeping this massive secret from her.
But back to reality I needed to plan something big for our one month anniversary. Issues being running into people we know, getting another call the possibilities of issues are endless. But I wanted this to be special because I don't think either of us thought we would last this long together and I never thought I would actually get to this point in my life where I was with the girl of my dreams.
