Hey guys. Sorry it took forever to update but I've been busy trying to update my other stories but I've gotten major writers block, so I decided to update this because I have everything in this story organized. Also check my profile for my future story ideas. I have to say that this is my favorite chapter to write so far. Even though its super long, the longest chapter I've ever written, it's one that is close to my heart. I'm sure most of you saw the video about the girl throwing the puppies into the river. Well I'm sure not a lot of you know that I am an animal rights activist. And seeing that video broke my heart. So I got this idea to put animal rights in my story. Also if I was ever given the opportunity on what Sam does in this chapter, I would. Anyway I want to thanks to my twitter friends who gave me ideas for this chapter. Also, if I get close to 20 reviews for this chapter, I'll update start writing the same day I hit 20 reviews. But no FLAMES. Also the song Kissin' U is sung in this chapter. I don't want hate reviews. I love the song, I'm trying to keep Sam in somewhat character. Also I love Carly's character in the show. But for this story she HAS to be a bitch, it wouldn't work.
I do not own iCarly, Kissin' U, Better, PETA, the designers mentioned in this chapter. I do own the name Bacon :) So enjoy the chapter
…
It's been about a couple of weeks since Sam and Freddie have been going on dates. But they weren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet. They both didn't want to rush things.
So here was Sam, recording a demo at Sony Records. If Sam could be honest… she was bored.
"I've never felt nothing like this.
You're makin' me open up.
No point even tryin' to fight this,
it kinda feels like its looooove."
"STOP!" Carly yelled pressing the intercom button. "Sam, what the hell was that? That sucked!"
"Carly, I really don't think this song fits me. I mean come on, 'Cause when I'm kissin' u it all starts makin' sense'? I mean who thinks that?"
Carly narrowed her eyebrows "Me! Sammy, I wrote the damn song."
Sam eyes grew wide. "Oh" she said quietly.
"Oh is right bitch"
"Dang Carly, I didn't know." Sam phone began to ring. Carly, I have to get going." Sam took off her headphones and walked out of the booth.
Carly jaw dropped. "Sam you can't do this right now." She said as Sam grabbed her purse.
"I'm sorry Carls. I'll make this up to you. You can have my Louis Vuitton luggage" she said exiting the studio.
"You better Puckett" Carly huffed. "SCOTT" she yelled.
Scott came to her side as she continued. "I want a martini NOW!"
"But Ms. Shay, its 11 am…"
"Go get me my DAMN drink NOW!"
"Going now Ms. Shay" Scott said walking away. "You stupid bitch" he muttered to himself.
Carly turned to Scott. "What was that?"
"I said 'I will be back in a bit.'"
…
Sam exited Sony Records. She looked up, seeing Freddie in a black Range Rover. She smiled and walked towards the car and got in. "Not too shabby Benson" she smirked.
"Oh shut it Puckett. We got to get you to Capital" Freddie laughed pulling away from the building.
"You know, this is the first time I see your car. We usually have our dates at my place or I walk or drive to yours." Sam smiled.
"I know, but hey, why don't I take you to this little Italian restaurant Saturday. I can guarantee no papz around."
Sam smiled and kissed Freddie's cheek. "Perfect"
…
Freddie and Sam were waiting to be called in for a meeting with Capital Records.
"I think I'm going to vomit." Sam said twirling a strand of her hair with her finger.
Freddie sighed. "There's nothing to be nervous about. They're going to love you. You are so talented and amazing. They would be stupid not to love you." He places a gentle kiss on her lips.
Sam blushed. "Thanks"
"Samantha Puckett, Freddie Benson, they're ready for you." The secretary told them.
…
Sam and Freddie were sitting in the conference room. They have played so far the song that Sam wrote for her mom. Right at the moment they were playing a song she had recorded the night before.
"And I don't care if I cry
It should hurt you said goodbye
And I have the right to drag it out and make it worst
I'm gonna take my time till
I wake up one morning and I find
That I'll feel better.
Better
Till I look at your pictures
And run out of tears
And you're not all I'm thinking about
Till I don't turn around
Hold my breath for the sound
Of you saying my name out loud
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh"
One of the record producers stopped the song. "I think we've heard enough"
"Oh" Sam said quietly as a frown met her lips.
"I'm impressed Ms. Puckett. You have an amazing voice. How would you like to sign with us?"
Sam face lit up. "Seriously?"
"Of course. I will send a contract to your manager Mr. Benson here"
"Oh wait, I'm not her…"
Sam interrupted. "Thank you so much" she shook all of their hands.
Freddie smiled. He was so happy to see Sam's dream being unfold. However, a vibrating feeling interrupted his thoughts. He looked at the text from Carly
Get your ass over to
the office NOW. Call
Sam and pick her up.
-Carly
He sighed as he rolled his eyes. "Sam, Carly want to see us."
…
"I wonder what she wants?" Sam asked, while they were on their way up the elevator. "You don't think she knows do you?"
"Nah, we've been very careful."
The elevator doors opened and there was Carly, tapping her foot in her 4 inch Chanel heals. Scott standing right next to her with a huge smirk on his face, looking at Freddie. "There you two are." Carly said as she turned around. "Follow me"
They did as she said. They entered her office and they noticed a hazel eyed women with straight long brown hair, wearing dark blue skinny jeans, a black blazer, a white tank, and dark red ballet flats, sitting on Carly's couch.
"Sam, Freddie, this is Tiffany Rodgerson. She's from PETA"
Sam and Freddie shook her hand. "A pleasure to meet you Ms. Puckett"
Sam smiled. "The pleasure is all mine."
Carly sat behind her desk. "Tiffany has a proposition for you Sammy."
Tiffany turned to Sam. "PETA wanted to come to you for one of our ads. Either a 'I rather go naked than wear fur' ad or 'Be an angel for animals' ad"
Sam frowned "I'm not sure…"
"Now before you say no, PETA has prepared a video." Tiffany took out a portable DVD player and pressed play.
On the video, it showed animals being in small cages where they would soon be killed for their fur. It showed slaughter farms, how they burn the dead animals bodies so there would be no evidence. And finally, the video showed the animals in shelters before they were rescued. Some of the dogs were forced to fight. Some of the cats were burnt and cut.
Sam stopped the DVD. "I think I've seen enough" she paused "I'll do it. I'll do the 'Be an angel' ad"
Carly smiled. "Great! The photo shoot is Saturday morning."
Scott walks over to Freddie. "So is this why you were smirking Scott?"
Scott chuckled. "Ohhh yeahhh. I find it a little funny because, when you finally get to see your girlfriend in skimpy underwear."
"Not my girlfriend" Freddie corrected
Scott continued "But all of Los Angeles will too. Shoot this thing will even hit the internet."
"Shut UP Scott" Freddie said through his teeth.
…
Saturday came pretty fast. Sam was getting her hair and make-up done for the shoot.
Freddie on the other hand, was making calls for the unveiling of the ad soon as it was ready. He saw the make-up artist leave Sam's dressing room. Freddie saw this as his opportunity. He sneaked into the room. Sam had her eyes closed. Freddie creped quietly behind her. "Excuse me miss" he whispered in her ear. "But you dropped your name tag" he places an object in her hand.
Sam looked down and saw a sugar packet in her hand. She smirked. "How long have you've been waiting to use that line?"
"About two days" he grinned. He finally got a look her. She was wearing a white robe, her hair was in curled, and her make-up was flawless. (A/N: Pic on my pro) "Wow, you look beautiful."
Sam blushed. "Thanks" she said giving Freddie a kiss on his cheek.
"Am I interrupting something?" Scott peaked into the room.
"Like always" Sam chuckled.
"Well Ms. Puckett, they're ready for you" Scott informed her.
"I'll be out in a minute" She smiled.
Scott nodded "Come on dude" he said to Freddie as he walked away.
Freddie followed "So what animal is Sam working with?"
"A puppy"
"SCOTT!" Carly yelled. "Help Samantha with her wings. Freddie, get the puppy."
They both rolled their eyes. Freddie went to the person from the shelter and picked the puppy up. (A/N: Pic of the puppy on my pro) "Well aren't you a cutie" he said walking towards Sam. When he finally looked up, Sam was in a white bikini with gold beading, with her angel wings on. (A/N: Pic on pro) 'She really does look like an angel' Freddie thought to himself.
"Oh my gosh, is that the puppy?" Sam squealed. Freddie walked to her, handing her the puppy. "He is so cute"
"He's four weeks old; he's a lab/Sheppard mix. His parents were found dead when we found him and his brothers and sisters." The lady from the animal shelter said.
"That's horrible" Freddie voiced.
"Yeah, but lucky his siblings got adopted to good homes. But he's not having any luck. He was the runt of the litter."
"Aw poor baby" Sam place a kiss on the puppy's head.
"Samantha, we're ready" the photographer informed her.
Everyone backed away. Scott and Freddie went over to the computer to see the pictures. "It's not TOO sexy is it?" Freddie asked. (A/N: I was fighting so hard not to type sexi - this way)
Scott sighed. "Nothing is TOO sexy when it comes to Samantha Puckett."
"I bet every guy who sees this is going to be drooling, wishing they were that dog." Freddie anger was building up.
"Woof… woof… Ah-ooh" Scott howled
"Scott?"
"Yeah?" he questioned
"Of all the times I ask you to shut up, this time, I really mean it" he said walking away.
"Where are you going?" Scott asked.
"Taking a smoke"
…
"Hey" Freddie turned around and saw Sam in white workout shorts and his gray hoodie that she borrowed from a past date. "What are you doing out here? Scott said you stepped out about 30 minutes ago." Sam smelled his breath. "Why have you been smoking?"
"Stress" Freddie shrugged.
Sam looked up at him and moved her hair behind her ear. "Okay? What stress?"
He looked away. "It's not important"
"Freddie, it is important. Talk to me"
"It bothers me that everybody is going to see you like that. Guys are going to be looking at you like a sex object."
"I don't see it that way"
"How can you NOT see it that way?" Freddie yelled.
Sam narrowed her brows "Because I see it s as a step closer on helping these animals" she said getting louder.
"That's not how they'll see it"
"Why should I care? If it wasn't this, which it's actually for a good cause, then Carly would have me in a skimpy bikini or lingerie on a men magazine. Why does this bother you?" she yelled.
"Because I'm your…" Freddie stopped
"You're my what?"
"I don't know" he said looking at his feet.
Sam huffed "Well when you figure it out and ready to apologize, come find me." Sam turned around and stomped away.
Freddie hit his head with the palm of his hand. "I'm such an idiot" he watched as they were walking the puppy from the shoot into the car. "That's it" Freddie smiled.
…
Sam sat on her couch with her cat Frothy on her lap. She sighed. "Maybe he's not going to apologize. I mean, he had a right to be upset."
A second later, Sam's buzzer went off. She got off the couch, walked up and pressed the button. "Yes?"
"Sam can you come down please"
"Freddie?" Sam asked
"Yeah it's me"
"I'll buzz you up"
"No, you need to come down"
"Fine bossy" Sam rolled her eyes as she exited her loft and made her way downstairs to outside. She saw Freddie leaning on his car. "Hey?"
"I'm sorry. Sam, I was a jerk and you were right, it's for the animals"
Sam smiled. "And did you figure it out yet?"
Freddie smirked "Yes and I want you to be my girlfriend, but before you answer, I want to give you something." Freddie opens the back of his car and walked back to Sam with a puppy in his arms.
Sam's jaw dropped. "Oh my fatcakes. Is that…"
"Yep, it's the puppy from the photo shoot." He grinned.
"You adopted him?" she asked
"For you. Meet Bacon Puckett"
Sam took him from Freddie. "Perfect name" She grinned.
"I thought it suited him"
"Thank you" She walked over to him and kissed him.
-click- -click- -click-
As they pulled away, they both couldn't wipe the smile from their faces.
"So how about dinner" he asked
"Of course"
Freddie opened the car door for Sam. As she got in, she put Bacon on her lap.
-click- -click- -click-
…
Carly sat at her desk in her office at home, googling 'Samantha Puckett'. 'The perks of being her manager' She thought sarcastically.
She clicked on the link titled. 'America's Sweetheart New Boyfriend' What Carly saw made her jaw drop. It was pictures of Sam kissing Freddie. "'It's official, Samantha Puckett is taken. We've seen her and her publicist, Freddie Benson, hanging out for the past couple of weeks, and now it's sealed with a kiss.'" Carly read off her laptop.
Carly started to reflect
"Sam, swear on your Louis Vuitton luggage that you will only have a professional relationship with Benson."
"That"
"I'm sorry Carls. I'll make this up to you. You can have my Louis Vuitton luggage"
"Sneaky little"
"Sorry Carl, I'm on a date"
"With who?"
"Freddie set me up. Sorry got to go"
"BITCH!" Carly yelled
Oh god. All hell was about the break loose.
…
