A/N: Have fun!

04 - Back to the present

Freddie Benson did not know how, but he had just escaped death, seeing his life parading before his eyes had returned from memory. He knew everything! He had discovered that Nevel was using their trading box and distribution network to traffic in dangerous and illegal material with unsavory people. It was he who had caused his first accident to get rid of him, but he had missed his shot. Suddenly, he was taken out of his reflection by an elderly man, at least fifty, who was tapping at his door.

"Are you okay, sir? Nothing broken?"
"A priori, no ... I confess I do not know where or when I am."
"You suffered a shock. Your car swerved, struck the small wall and ended up in the field."
"I dodged."
"As you say. I do not live far, if you will, I will take you home and you can call your insurance to make you troubleshoot."
"Thank you!"

He accepted the offer of this man with pleasure. It was when he got out of this car that he saw himself in the window and realized being back at his 19th birthday. This car was his own, the same old rattletrap he was driving before he saw himself in the future. He touched his face, his body under the worried look of the man who seemed to be saying «but he's crazy, that guy?».

It was when Freddie got into that man's car that he had a shock. Next to him was a young woman. His rescuer first introduced his cousin (who was sitting on the passenger seat) and his niece Samantha seated next to Freddie. Despite the difference in age, he recognized Sam well, the one was to be his wife.

Freddie was suddenly besieged with questions. Had he dreamed? Has he really gone into the future? Had all this been a bad dream? He knew nothing, he was completely lost. Once at this man named Carmine Puckett, he was able to get help and go back to his father, Leonard Silva. Once there, the first thing he did was squeeze his father into his arms. The memory of his death in the future had returned to his mind as well as the pain it had engendered.

Not really knowing where he was, Freddie asked to take days off. His boss being his father, Leonard clearly saw that he came out of this road exit completely disoriented. Being of a Cartesian nature, Freddie still took his life in hand, as she was, admitting that what he had seen «in the future» was only the fruit of his imagination.

Curiously, since their meeting, the beautiful Sam often came to the supermarket. She was gorgeous (like their eldest daughter, except that Sam did not have a girly look) and they were beginning to flirt, according to what her future counterpart had described. Even if he had said that his memories of this hypothetical future were only fictitious, they were still strong. There was still a doubt, but he could not confide himself, or he would end up with a straitjacket.

At work, there was a new employee. When Freddie saw his face, he nearly jumped to the throat to strangle him but he held back. This new one was the one who would become his future partner and, incidentally, his future murderer: Nevel Papperman. The more he lived the events, the more they resembled those memories he had brought back from the future.

In the months that followed, Freddie did not get too close to Nevel while remaining courteous, unlike that version of the future where they had become the best friends in the world. He still had a doubt about his memories. Whether true or not, for now, Nevel had not done anything to him. Freddie could not blame him for something he had not yet tried, and that was likely to not happen.

...

It was only after June 2013 that he realized that he had really seen the future. First of all, there were movies in the movies. But what really made him realize that he was thirty-three years later was the shooting in a gay club in Florida, and the assassination of a couple of police officers in Denver. He could never have invented it.

"Shit, does that mean I'm going to die flattened like a pancake in the basement of a ruined building? Never mind!" Freddei said to himself when he finally accepted this reality.

Knowing what certain choices had for him, he had a unique opportunity to change that. One thing, however, came to mind. If indeed he lived the future, it meant that it was during this birthday party, to which he was invited, that he was going to deflower Sam.

The memory of all these nights, to sleep with her, came back to his mind. Would he be up to it? Freddie was starting to really freak out. He also remembered that he would win the lottery the following year. He remembered everything: the date and the numbers he was going to play. He also remembered that these gains and his willingness to go up his box was going to be the trigger of the dispute with his father.

"Well, I have another year to think about it" he said again to himself.

Today was the birthday party! Sam had invited all her friends, they had fun but Freddie was scanning his watch. He knew the fateful moment was approaching. At the end of the evening, the guests began to leave and others, who had planned to sleep there, went to bed. This is where Sam asked him to follow her because she had something to show him.

They went to her bedroom and Sam pulled out her outfit. She was nervous and he too. Ever since they dated, they were already naked in the same room. They almost did it several times but the beautiful blonde did not feel ready to make the big leap, even if she had already sucked him, that he had already made her cunnis and that they had caressed. Without speaking, they understood each other and Freddie undressed in turn. After many kisses, they lay down on her bed and they continued while stroking each other.

"Freddie ... This time, I feel ready. I want you to be my first, have you already done it?"
"Do not worry, I'll be careful" he replies.

He did not tell her clearly, Freddie did not want to lie to her because from a purely technical point of view, he was on the same level as her ... that is to say zero ... but he counted to use what he had experienced in the future to make it happen at best.


Los Angeles, June 2013
Puckett's home, the next morning,

Freddie was in the vaps and a little drowsy when he heard Sam's mother call her. He suddenly realized that if Pam entered the room, she would surprise them both naked in bed. He felt Sam's hands push him out of bed and he fell to the floor. Sam just had time to put on a t-shirt and put the sheet back on her before her mother opened the door.

"Sammy! Your guests are having breakfast, are you meeting us?" Pam asks her.
"I'm coming in, leave me time to emerge."

When Pam left, Sam came back to him.

"You're okay?" she asked him, apologizing for throwing him on the ground.

At least, the shock on the ground had awakened him. To avoid being seen on leaving her room, Freddie came out the window after getting dressed. He then went to join them in the salon and, with everyone, they took their breakfast. One by one, they all left. When it was his turn, Sam's uncle wanted to talk to him.

"Tell me, Freddie, you slept in your car?"
"Uh ... Yes, that's it."
"Of course! I know that you have slept in my niece's room, and I will not stop you from doing it again unless you continue to trample the flowers I had planted under the window."
"Oops, I'm sorry ... I did not do it on purpose, I did not realize where I put my feet" Freddie answered, looking under his shoes.

Carmine had well understood what they had done that night, he was not like those over-protective fathers figures looking to keep their daughters pure. He knew that his favorite niece was going to spend one day or another, so far as it was with a guy he knew and liked. From that day on, her uncle began to talk to him as if he were of the family (and a certain threat to make him disappear in the desert if he hurt his niece), Freddie did not have the courage to do the same.

After that, Freddie is finally in a couple with Sam. With his family and hers, they were able to build a cozy little nest, waiting to have their own home. For his part, Freddie was worried. Would he have the same kids with Sam if he changed the events? Probably not, unfortunately. In any case, there was something he could do, it was the death of his father ... and his own at the same time.

It was enough to simply not associate with Nevel. What? Who says that it would also suffice for him not to win the lottery? This is a solution but no, if he has the opportunity to earn several million dollars, he will not get bothered. It will help pay for the wedding, the house, the expenses for the kids ... And secondarily, buy the farm of his father-in-law before it gets caught. He had not been able to do so in the future, for everything had happened in the creation of the box.

And now what to do? Freddie knows the events that will happen. It's frustrating because if he informs the authorities, they will wonder how he knows. And he's going to pass for a madman, or for an accomplice with information that they will be able to extract him in a specialized establishment. It is frustrating to know that people will die and not be able to prevent them. The best is to remain silent, he will try to reproduce the circumstances of the conception of his children. He had attached himself to them, especially the last one with her quilts. Joy was cracking him.

A few days ago, Carly Shay, one of Sam's former friends who now lives in New York, invited them for July 4th. She planned to make them enjoy the local festivities. Freddie insisted that they do it next year, and that it was Carly who came to their house.

They are still in 2013 and as Freddie knew the events, they should benefit from it.
