Dislcaimer: I do not own iCarly

A/N: Okay so heres the next chap of iAm Your Colleague. Sorry for the really late update. I know I should have updated like a week ago but I was suffering from severe jet lag and school just started, so my life is pretty hectic right now. Okay that's not a good excuse, I hope you guys forgive me.


Diners and Hotels

They have been driving for around six hours, they had a few pit stops although it was just to use the washroom. This time however, Sam was getting hungry and everyone knew that when Sam got hungry, you best get her some food.

Freddie drove a little more before he spotted a little stop over which sold food. It was a very quiet country side kind of diner. The environment there was really relaxing, extremely different from the bustle of L.A.

They got a seat at one of the booths before the waitress came over.

"Hey guys, here's the menu. When your done deciding, just call." She said with a smile, and left.

"She seems nice." Freddie said as he looked at the menu.

"Shhh, no talking, I'm hungry." Sam said. Freddie simply chuckled and continued to browse the menu. Finally Sam decided what she was going to have and so did Freddie. The called the waitress and she walked over to them.

"So what can I get y'all." She said, taking a pen out from behind her ear and a notepad.

"Um I'll have the blueberry pancakes." Sam said.

"And I'll have the ham and eggs." Freddie said.

"Anything else?" The waitress said as she put on a big smile.

"Two cups of coffee please." Freddie said. She nodded and walked over to the counter.

"How long more to Seattle?" Sam asked.

"We've been driving for around six hours so around another twelve." Freddie said. They were interrupted when the waitress came with the two cups of coffee. After she left, they resumed their discussion.

"Want me to take the second shift of driving after this. I mean it's tiring to keep driving for long hours." Sam said.

"Thanks Sam but I think I can manage." Freddie said.

"Please, if I was driving, we would reach there an hour earlier." Sam pleaded. She didn't know why but she wanted to drive.

"Yeah cause you could break every speed limit there was. Do remember that it's my car we are driving, which means all speeding tickets go to me." Freddie said.

"Oh come on, even you cannot like long trips like this." Sam said.

"On the contrary, I love long trips like this. Helps me clear my mind." Freddie said.

"What there to clear? There's nothing in there." Sam stated, a smirk on her face. Freddie just smiled. Just then, their food arrived.

"Here's the blueberry pancakes and here's your ham and eggs." She said, placing the respective plates in front of Sam and Freddie. "Enjoy your meal." She said as she walked away.

They both tucked into their food, more so for Sam, who was clearly starving.

"Good to see you still have your old appetite." Freddie said.

"That's where you're wrong Fredward. Last time I would have ordered pancakes and waffles. My appetite has significantly reduced since we were teens." Sam said.

"Wow never thought I would have heard you say that ever." Freddie said.

"Okay truth be told, I still have my old appetite. What I don't have was my old metabolism. If I were to eat like I did back then, I would bloat up like a balloon." Sam said.

Freddie chuckled and went back to his food.

Soon they were done and were back on the road again. Sam manage to convince Freddie to let her drive, and Sam was driving really fast. Scary fast.

"Why did I agree to let you drive?" Freddie asked, gripping the door.

"Because you don't want to arrive in Seattle at 11 at night." Sam said.

"Okay but can you slow down just a little? I feel like we are going to crash or something." Freddie said.

"Oh cool down. There's no one on the road now." It was true, the road was pretty quiet. Only a few cars were on the road now, perhaps since it was a Friday.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean a crash can't happen. I mean, you don't need to collide with another vehicle to be involved in an accident." Freddie said.

"Fine." Sam sighed and slowed down, although still staying a few miles over the speed limit.

"I thought you agreed to follow the speed limit." Freddie said.

"No, I said I would slow down. Come on Freddie, I don't want to reach Seattle at 11. Geez you are becoming more like your mother." Sam said. Freddie rolled his eyes and looked back to the road in front of them. "Speaking of your mother, are we staying with her for the weekend or what?" Sam asked. She knew Mrs Benson was still living in Seattle and wondered where they were staying while in Seattle.

"You'd be happy to know that we are not, in fact, staying with my mom. Since I moved out, she decided to get a smaller apartment so there really isn't any space for us. So we will be staying at a hotel." Freddie said.

"Glad to know." Sam said. She was really worried that she would have to stay with Mrs Benson and not having to do so was a real relief.


They finally arrived in Seattle. Freddie drove for the third shift while Sam fell asleep in the passenger seat. Due to Sam's speeding they managed to arrive around an hour earlier. He figured it was too late to meet anyone so he just drove to the hotel.

Freddie parked his car in the hotel carpark and tried to wake Sam up. "Sam. Sam wake up." He said as he poked her in the shoulder. She simply mumbled something incoherent and turned on her side. He sighed, at least he tried but even he knew that waking Sam up wasn't going to be that easy. He got out and closed the car door, the engine still running.

He quickly walked into the hotel and up to the reception. After giving all the information they needed, they handed him a card key. He thanked the person and went back out to the car, this time followed by a bellhop. Freddie picked Sam up, not before turning off the engine, while the bellhop got their luggage.

The went to their room and settled in. While placing Sam down on the bed, she woke up.

"Huh...where are we?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. Freddie was just giving the bellhop a tip and closed the door. Freddie sighed, it was so Sam that she wakes up after coming back to the room.

"At the hotel. It's late, you should get back to sleep." Freddie said.

"After I use the bathroom." Sam said, proceeding to the bathroom. Freddie was really tired too, not examining the room and just collapsing on the bed, closing his eyes. He heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom before the unlocking of the door.

He kept his eyes closed, just enjoying the soft bed.

"Um Freddie?" He heard Sam say.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Um where is my bed?" Sam said.

"What? It's right..." he opened his eyes and turned to his right, noticing that there was no second bed. "...there." He trailed off. "Hold on." He said as he went to the phone and called the reception desk. After speaking with the receptionist, he hung up.

"Well?" Sam said.

"Um you see...this is the last room they have for the night so..." Freddie said, rubbing his neck.

"Oh well...i guess..." Sam said but was cut off by Freddie.

"Oh don't worry, you can have the bed, I'll sleep in the chair." He said pointing to the small chair in the corner of the room. Compared to the big bed, that chair looked tiny.

"Um...okay thanks..." Sam said. She got changed and was soon in bed. She looked as Freddie sat in the chair, his head slowly bobbing as he started to fall asleep. Part of her felt really bad that he had to sleep on the chair.

"Freddie." She said. He opened his eyes and raised his head.

"Yeah?"

"Um...it's a big bed and uh...you can share the bed. I mean if you want to of course." Sam said. Freddie smiled.

"Thanks Sam. I really appreciate it." Freddie said.

"No problem." Sam said.

"Go to sleep. I'm sure you don't want to be tired when you meet Carly tomorrow." Freddie said. Sam smiled and lay down. Freddie walked over and pulled the covers over her. "Goodnight Sam." Freddie said.

"Night Benson." Sam said before slowly drifting off to sleep.


A/N: Okay that was it. Again I am really sorry I am like a week overdue on this update. I hope this chap was good enough to make up for it. Although I am having a huge writer's block now. I seriously get stuck on almost every sentence. Plus 12 hour jet lag isn't really helping.

Oh and I do apologize if I didn't respond to any reviews or PMs when I was overseas. To me, it really means a lot when you review, even if it is one word, so I feel I should at least reply to everyone. But I may have missed a few reviewers when I was abroad. So please accept this apology.

So please Review. :)
