A/N: Okay so here's the next chap of iJe T'aime. Sorry it took so long to update, I've been really busy. Sam's POV.
I Think Eiffel For You
We arrived back at the hotel. After the visit to the catacombs, we went to have dinner before proceeding back to the hotel. It was around 9.30 at night and I was extremely tired. I dropped myself onto the couch once we entered the suite.
"Tired?" Freddie asked.
"Yah think." I answered letting my head fall back onto the couch.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower, unless you want to go first." He asked. It still kind of bugged me that he always put me before himself but I was getting used to it.
"Nah you go ahead first." I said and heard him walk towards the bedroom. I picked up the remote and turned on the tv. I began browsing through the channel for anything in English. I finally settled on a channel showing the Matrix movie. I heard the bathroom door close and noticed Freddie laptop on the table. I glanced at the time and figured maybe Carly was already online, so I turned on the laptop. I really needed to talk to Carly.
The laptop booted up and I clicked on IM. I scrolled though the list of contacts before finding Carly's, already signed in. I plugged in the webcam and started a video call to her. Carly picture then came up on the screen.
"Hey Carls." I said.
"Hey Sam, how's Paris."
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful. I just absolutely love the place. The food is good too." I said listing all the great things I experienced in the past few days.
"Figured you would like the food." Carly said smiling.
"Listen Carls, I need to talk to you." I said.
"Well Sam, aren't we talking now?" she asked giving me a confused look.
"No I mean talk talk. And Freddie's in the bathroom now so this is my only chance."
"Freddie? Oh so this about him." She said and I nodded. "Well what about him? Do you like him yet?"
"Um I do like him…" Carly raised an eyebrow at me. "What?" I questioned.
"Sam c'mon, tell the truth."
"Fine I may actually…lo...lo…love him." I stammered. I covered my ears when Carly screamed. The sound cracked probably cuz the speaker couldn't handle the volume of Carly's super scream.
"Shhh, Freddie may hear you and come out." I whisper shouted.
"Opps sorry. So anyway, have you like told him."
"What No, do you think I would be here asking you if I already told him." I said matter-of-factly.
"Oh right. So what do you plan to do? Do you want to kiss him or tell him straight on?"
"Whoa slow down Carls. Let's not take this too quickly, I said may love him. May."
"Oh c'mon Sam, do you hold his hand?" I nodded, I just held his hand earlier today. "Do you blush when he say's some things?" once again I nodded. "Do you dream about him?" The last question threw me off a little. I found it a little embarrassing to actually dream of someone.
"Uh no…yeah no, no dreaming at all." I said nervously. Carly obviously could tell I was lying cuz she gave that, I-know-you look. "Aw man, sometimes I wish you didn't know me so well." I said.
"Sam, a person you just met could tell that you were lying." Suddenly the bathroom door opened and I frantically shot Carly a glare. She instantly got what I meant and winked.
"Hey what are you doing?" Freddie said, walking into the hall while rubbing a towel though his wet hair.
"Oh just talking to Carly. She keeps bugging me about her souvenir. Right Carly?" I said turning to the laptop.
"Oh right yeah…um, where's my gift." Carly said.
"Oh that reminds me, we haven't gone shopping yet?" Freddie said.
"Well whatever. You talk to Carly while I take a shower." I said putting the laptop down and walking over to the room. I closed to door and thought about what Carly said. "Am I really in love with Freddie Benson."
I opened my eyes once again to a brown silhouette. The image was pure déjà vu. The brown object moved and turned to face me. The close proximity between us was unnerving. I knew it was a dream this time. I figured I might as well make the most of it.
I put my arm over his sleeping form and pulled myself closer. I rested my head next to his and snuggled into him. It felt nice but something wasn't right. The feeling was nice, it felt warm, comforting but that was what was wrong. There was no way my brain could come up with this feeling. Then it dawned on me, this wasn't a dream, it was real. I was cuddling with Freddie, and I initiated it. I was about to pull away when something took me by surprise. Freddie arms curled around me.
"You look cute when you wake up." Freddie said. I jerked my head to face him and realised that he was wide awake. My eyes jumped from his face to my hand around him to his around me. I pushed myself away from him and stumbled to the floor with a loud thud.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Trying to avoid further embarrassment I simply nodded and grabbed my stuff and bolted for the bathroom. I locked the door, put down my stuff and looked into the mirror. I stared at my reflection for a full minute, trying to get over the embarrassment that was consuming me. I slapped myself, hard, believing that this was really a dream and I would wake up. But all I got was a burning sensation in my cheek as a result. I sighed and got into the shower.
We left the hotel after breakfast and walked down the street. I was surprised that Freddie didn't bring up the whole me wrapping myself with him. We just walked down the street to the shopping centre near our hotel. The awkward silence was just killing me. I needed to do something before I die. Anything.
My first instinct was to talk but when I opened my mouth no words came out. Freddie just looked forward, hands in his jacket pocket. I decided since I already embarrassed myself earlier today this wouldn't hurt. I pulled his left hand out of his pocket and place my hand in it. He seemed shocked when I did this but then smiled. We entered the mall and started walking past all the shops, looking for things to buy. There were so many things that we could buy but currently I was just happy that the awkwardness was over.
We sat in the cab, heading down to an unknown destination that Freddie won't tell me. We had gone back to the hotel to put all the stuff we bought in the hotel room before heading back out. I turned to Freddie.
"So are you gonna tell me where we are going or are you going to wait till we get there for me to see?" I asked.
"Hmm, I don't know." He said rubbing his chin as if contemplating. However I knew one way to make him cave. I put my hand in his and he smiled. I rolled my eyes. During the whole time at the mall, he only bought things for me if I held his hand so it's like a price. "Okay, look in front."
I turned my attention to the front view and saw it. Standing tall and enormous, The Eiffel tower and all its magnificence. I continued to stare at the structure and didn't even realise the cab had stopped.
"C'mon Sam, you can get a better view from outside." Freddie called, halfway out the vehicle. I followed suit and exited the taxi. We walked up to the tower and I realised how big it was. It was just great. We got into the elevator and proceeded to the highest floor on the tower. There were two levels, a lower level as well as a second one nearer the top. We got out and I was surprised that there were very little people there. We walked over to the edge to look out.
The cool summer breeze felt good against my skin and was refreshing.
"It's beautiful. Possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." I said taking in the scenery.
"Yeah, but not the most beautiful thing I've seen." Freddie said.
"What? What could be more beautiful than this?" I said pointing to the scenery. He looked away from the scenery and to me.
"You." he said. The simplest reply in the world but it sent every feeling in me chaotic. I blushed. I wasn't used to be complemented like that. I tried to turn away but Freddie hand caught my chin and made me face him. I blushed harder.
Slowly I saw him leaning in. Only once have I seen that and that was our first kiss on the fire escape. Slowly I felt myself leaning in too. The blush on my cheeks faded. Our faces inched closer together. I could feel his breath on my face. We were only centimetres away from each other's lips. I closed my eyes awaiting our lips to meet.
A/N: Haha, evil ending. And to make me more evil, the next chap will be this chap in Freddie's POV, so still one more chapter before the actual kiss, maybe.
Anyway, this is the last and probably my favourite crazy title, I think Eiffel for you. (I think I fell for you) The only reason this is the last is cuz I can't think of anymore but if I do I would definitely use it. Please review. And sorry about the evil ending.
