i Got Moves

Chapter 7: Why Does Wrong Feel so Right?

A/N: To make up the long wait for the previous chapter, I'm posting this now. I don't own iCarly.

Freddie lay in his bed, uncharacteristically procrastinating by ignoring his homework and thinking about Sam.

Sam must like him. She just had to. But what about Carly? What about her? She didn't care enough to come when he had specifically asked them to be sure to come to their lunch table. If Carly was going to see a teacher, wouldn't she have said something? Maybe Carly just wasn't for him.

He thought back to what TheLadyKiller had said: Carly knows he cares and she ignores his feelings.

Suddenly, he couldn't care less about Carly. Didn't care that he hadn't found out the information about her that he was supposed to, and didn't care that she hadn't shown up today…

It made sense now, why Sam acted the way she did when he invited them to dinner! She was jealous of the flowers! He knew what he had to do. He needed to go out right now and buy "Friendship Flowers" for Sam. Hopefully, she would realize they were "More-Than-Friendship Flowers", but if she didn't, that would be alright.

He wondered how he had gone from Carly-obsessed to have his thoughts preoccupied with every essence of Sam. Did that really mean he liked Sam, or was this some phase, like Carly? Well, he thought with a smile, there was only one way to find out…

Sam's POV

Sam was over at Carly's, but not paying any attention to what Carly was saying. Carly continued jabbering about some idea she had for a new iCarly segment. That wasn't important now. What was important was Freddie.

Freddie had said she was pretty- he must like her now! But what about Carly? Didn't he still like her? But Carly hadn't come to lunch…why?

"Why didn't you come to lunch today?" Sam interrupted.

"I was talking!"

"Sorry. But why?"

"I…I just forgot."

"To come to lunch? I'm not stupid, Carly."

"Okay, I have a good reason, but I just can't tell you- yet." Sam rolled her eyes. "So anyways, on this new segment, I was thinking that-"

Carly was interrupted again by a knock on the door. She sighed. "Can you get that, Sam? I have to go get Spencer. It's probably the weirdo person interested in buying his pork chop sculpture.

Carly exited the room yelling, "Hey Spence!"

Sam walked over to the door. Instead of looking through the peep hole, she just opened the door. To her surprise, Freddie was there. He was looking nervous and he was holding a single, red rose.

Hoping he had brought her the rose, but knowing deep down it was for Carly she asked sarcastically, "Come to propose to Carly?"

He looked very nervous now and said, "Actually, Sam, I wanted to talk to you and I figured you were over here. Can I come in?"

"No, you look cuter in the hallway. Of course you can come in." Sam turned away from Freddie, walking into Carly's apartment and realized what she had said. She was mortified: She had just told him she thought he was cute!

Freddie's POV

Freddie smiled as he walked into Carly's apartment. Whether she had realized it or not, Sam had revealed she thought he was cute. Knowing the feeling was mutual he began, "Sam, I've brought you your own "Friendship Flower". I-"

Sam went to interrupt him "Freddie,-" she began. She never got to finish. As she turned around to talk to him and express her joy that she had a better friendship flower than Carly, their lips touched. She hadn't realized how close he was behind her.

After that heart-stopping moment, Sam stepped back, just as shocked as he was. But Freddie wasn't having any of that; he was going to enjoy his first kiss. He leaned in to prolong the "kiss". Realizing what he was doing, Sam stepped forwards.

Right as Sam put her arms around Freddie, Carly walked in the room.

No one's POV/ Paragraph changes (The POVs change too quickly for each to have a separate POV)

"Hey, Sam, I was wondering if-" She looked up, and murmured, "Oh sorry." She didn't know she had interrupted something important. She was confused how the scene before her had come to be, but she was glad they had finally figured out their feelings.

Sam and Freddie broke apart quickly, startled. Freddie dropped the "Friendship Flower" in surprise. They both blushed and looked at the ground.

Freddie was even more embarrassed than Sam. Why did this have to happen to him! Carly walking in on him and Sam made him forget about how much he liked Sam in his nervousness, and his need to explain took over. He had a desperate thought of undecidedness. Was he really supposed to be with Sam? The kiss was an accident! Carly better understand!

"Oh, um, Carly, this is a misunderstanding, it, uh, was an accident." Carly gave him a very doubting look and said while smiling, "That didn't look like an accident to me…"

"But it was!"

"It's okay; I always thought you two would end up together."

"No, Carly, I still like you!" Freddie winced as he realized he had said the wrong thing in his desperation to convince Carly it was an accident.

Sam couldn't believe it! She was not angry; she was livid, fuming almost! She knew he had to have felt a connection too! Sparks had flown in those short seconds, not to mention their whole flirting seesion during lunch the other day! That was practically a date! Because Carly had not shown up! And now, he still liked Carly!

What else could she do? It was hopeless! She would be single forever- single and Freddie-less! She summoned up her anger and smacked Freddie's face as hard as she could on his cheek. It left a red mark, but Sam didn't stay to notice. She ran out of the room, crying.

Freddie called out after her but she just yelled back, "What's wrong? You're with Carly, your dream girl, the only one you've ever wanted!"

Freddie stood there in shock. It couldn't have gone worse!

Carly just stared at Freddie. "Well, chase after her!"

It was hopeless. "Why should I? I'd just mess up again!" With that he walked out past Carly and entered his apartment. He slammed his door shut, angry at himself.

Carly sighed. What a disaster! After all that, did Freddie really still like her? Or was he just denying his newfound feelings for Sam? Why had they been kissing? Was that really an accident? There were too many questions…

"Spencer! I HAVE TO go to the library. NOW!"

In his room, Freddie was pacing. He couldn't do anything right. Now neither girl seemed right for him. He was worse off than when he began with this whole TLK thing! He couldn't ever feel the same towards Carly again, and Sam might never forgive him. A week ago he never thought he would be here- in this situation. Choosing Sam over Carly! But it was true. And Sam liked, or rather, had liked Freddie- geek and all.

But then, unexpectedly, all of the insults and physical pain that Sam had put him through flashed through his head. And now she was causing him emotional pain! Either he was stupid or he really did love her a lot.

For what she had put him through, the perfect revenge would be to lead her on and then end it…but Freddie couldn't ever do something that cruel on purpose. He loved her. He didn't know where the thought of revenge had come from- it was his fault. And besides, that's was sort of happened, but accidentally.

There was that word again…accidentally…He had accidentally kissed Sam. And he had to admit, when her soft lips brushed up against his…sparks flew like the 4th of July. And even if he wanted to, like he had thought before, he could not ever intentionally hurt Sam. But he had unintentionally hurt her very much.

He had to fix what was left of their "relationship". Now that he knew what he had to do; he prayed that it wasn't too late…

A/N: Ahh! Cliffhanger! Don't worry, I will try to update soon. I have it all planned out, so it won't take too long. There will be two more chapters, so things wrap up rather quickly. Not unrealistically, though. Thanks for reading. BTW, what is up with Carly's obsessive trips to the library? Find out soon. ;)

With all my purple fuzzleness,
