Chapter 10: iPicture

Sam was fast asleep on the Shay's couch, well it was only 6:30am on a Saturday morning after all and she was planning on sleeping in until midday at least. That's what she did on Saturday's; it was like an un-written rule to Sam that people should sleep in. Well that plan soon got ruined because suddenly there was a loud knock on the door that made Sam herself jump up and out off her sleep. She tried to ignore it, hoping to fall back to her peaceful sleep but no, the knocking just got much louder and much more frantic. After a while Sam threw herself off of the couch and pounced for the front door, ready to give whoever it was a huge piece of her mind. How dare people think its okay to interrupt precious sleeping time?

As Sam flung the front door open, the person on the other side of it was revealed to be Freddie Benson. As soon as Sam caught sight of him her eyes widened as her memory of yesterday's event suddenly came flooding back to her. With a sudden hesitation, Sam knocked herself out of her thoughts as she tried her best to slam the door shut, only to have Freddie block her from doing so with his foot.

"Leave me alone" Sam yelled, trying to push the door shut.

"You need to look at your SplashFace page" Freddie ordered.

"Why?" Sam suddenly found herself asking as she straightened up and re-opened the door.

"Just look at it" Freddie sighed and with that Sam turned around quickly on her toes and began to make her way over to the computer.

As Sam sat down on the kitchen stool and began frantically typing away on the computer to log into SplashFace she then noticed that Freddie had followed her into the apartment. When did she say that he could come in? Sam then also spotted a note that had been left for her on the counter and after realising that it was stupid to follow Freddie's instructions, she stopped typing and picked up the note to read it.

Sam,

Socko says he's seen a beavecoon; I'm off to see it to! You know where I am if I'm not here when you wake up.

I always said they were real.

Spencer.

Great Sam thought, she was well and truly alone with the nub and especially after what happened yesterday she was far from pleased about that.

As Sam logged onto her SplashFace account, it was oddly over run by hundreds of notifications. After finding out that she had been tagged in a photo by Valerie, yes Valerie as in Freddie's ex girlfriend, she loaded it up and within seconds a photo had filled the screen of both Sam and Freddie in the middle of that kiss they had shared with one another yesterday. Sam just stared in both shock and anger; the photo had over one hundred comments from mainly their friends expressing their excitement now the two were apparently finally together. The caption Valerie had posted with it even angered Sam "I did tell you all" it read, gosh she was going to kill her.

"Sam…" Freddie started, pulling her out of her thoughts; she had even forgotten he was in the room.

"Get rid of it! Take it down" Sam immediately exclaimed.

"What?" Freddie asked.

"Get the picture off of the internet so people can't see it" Sam instructed.

"Sam, I think everyone's already seen it" Freddie replied.

"So, just take it down!" she screamed.

"How am I supposed to do that?" he questioned.

"You're a computer geek, hack into that skunk bag's account and take the picture down" Sam yelled.

"Fine but it's going to take some time" Freddie told her as he took her seat and began typing away on the computer.

Sam just stood there awkwardly as she watched Freddie typing away being the nub that he is. She was slightly embarrassed now, everyone knew that they had kissed and now she was going to have to kick some butts on Monday…starting with Valerie's. As Sam stood there she realised that Freddie was yet to bring up their kiss…was he going to bring it up? She did kiss him in a surprise attack after all.

As Freddie typed away on the computer, he couldn't help but stare at Sam's reflection that was in the computer screen. She looked beautiful even though she had just woken up and was still wearing her nightly wear. It was hard to keep his eyes off of her.

"Do you want to maybe get changed?" Freddie asked carefully.

"No" Sam snapped back. She then remembered she was still wearing what she had slept in last night, a tight tank top, no bra and short pyjama shorts. "On second thoughts that might be a good idea" she huffed as she quickly folded her arms over her chest and stormed up the stairs.

When Sam came back downstairs twenty minutes later wearing a pair of jeans and a penny tee which expressed her current mood, she hoped that Freddie would have hacked Valerie's account and left but no he was still there typing away on the computer. She then headed over to the fridge deciding that seems she was up and dressed at 7am in the morning she was going to eat her breakfast.

"Okay, I'm finished" Freddie soon announced.

"Good" Sam muttered. "When people mention it, say the picture was edited, cropped and all that jazz" she told him.

"Sam my friends will not believe that" Freddie argued slightly.

"Then make something up that they will believe" Sam snapped.

"You do know there's nothing stopping Valerie from reposting this" he told her softly.

"Yeh I know" Sam nodded. "I'll just deal with her on Monday" she smirked.

It went silent for a moment as Freddie smiled back at Sam. He wanted to desperately talk about the kiss yesterday; he wanted to kiss her again. Does this mean she likes him to? It must do but then why did she order him to take down the picture?

"Why did you kiss me yesterday?" Freddie asked causing Sam to groan. He had to ask her, it was killing him not to.

"I don't want to talk about it" Sam replied turning away from him.

"I need to know" he told her.

"I guess it was to shut you up. It's annoying when you ramble on" she lied.

"I'm not taking that for an answer" Freddie snapped slightly.

"I don't know why I kissed you, okay?" Sam finally whined at him, tugging on a strand of her hair.

"Do you like me?" Freddie asked carefully only to get a shrug of the shoulders from Sam. "How long do you think it will be until you figure it out?" he questioned only to get another shrug of the shoulders as she plopped herself down on the couch.

"Well I'm going to give you some space" Freddie announced after moments of silence past between them and he had sat down next to her. "I think it will do us both some good if we spend some time apart. You need to figure out what your feelings are and its killing me being around you when I don't know what I am to you. I like you, just keep that in mind" he explained and Sam nodded not really knowing what to say or how she felt about it. "When you figure things out, come and find me" he added and with that he leant forward and placed a soft kiss on Sam's forehead before getting up and heading towards the door.

"Bye Freddie" Sam said.

"Goodbye" he smiled knowing it was going to be hard keeping his distance from Sam but it was what needed to happen right now.
